Tips for lazy learners of Spanish

    Just today noticed 2 things that some people might find usefull.

    1.) Go to the Publico.es, liberal spainish newsapaper, I think, if you don't understand a word, you double click it, and get a nice spanish to spanish definition. This comes as a popup, so you don't leave the page.

    2.) I use an iGoogle page, this has an "Elmundo" gadget, which gives me some headlines from Elmundo. Today I notices that if I expand a headline, I get the option to read full article, or and this is the good part, HEAR the article spoken word for word. So I can start the sound palyback , then open the article in another page and follow it. DRAWBACK, the voice is a synthetic female voice, but I think the pronuciation is acceptable.

    I had a quick look at the "ElMundo" site proper and didn't find the same facility, but it may be there as well.

    🧐IMHO, God wants us all to ENJOY many,many ice-creams , 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦
