Back in Business!

¡Aqui estamos de nuevo!

Finally managed to transfer my files from the rescued hard drive of the
old PC onto the new Power Mac. Plenty of distractions on the way - the
last Mac OS I used was 7.1 so there have been plenty of great new stuff to
get acquainted with. For those interested, I made the mistake of
copying the old radio.root file over on top of the new installation.
Anyway, once I realized my mistake I had a new working installation
of Radio Userland (with nothing apparently lost) up and running within
five minutes.

Well given that I am back in business, I will try to do the third edition of RLS this weekend and up it by the end of Monday, London time.

What others are saying about Really Learn Spanish...

Initial response has been very positive. Adam Curry featured the first podcast on his Daily Source Code of 16 November 2004 and again the next day. Nick Starr
whose Mini Source Code gives us his own daily take on Adam's show (a
great summary when you don't have time for the whole thing) also had good things to say. Jim Corbett wrote about it on Eirepreneur and has been very helpful with emailed suggestions and advice. Tyme made some detailed comments on her blog - she's got the right attitude and is going to be a good student. Drew, from The Dawn and Drew Show, is enthusiastic because he wants to revive his dormant Spanish. Both Dawn and Drew think Really Learn Spanish is awesome! Craig Patchett wrote me and pointed out that if you know Spanish pronunciation you'll have no trouble at all in pronouncing Hawaiian!
Nicole Simon finds the way Spanish differs from English fascinating.

More delay!

Amigos oyentes:
Dear listeners,

I'm afraid the third edition of Really Learn Spanish needs to be
postponed a little bit more. Unfortunately I recently came down ill
with a temperature of 38.9 at one stage. The third edition
will be out in the next few days but I am reluctant to make a specific
promise. I will be responding to the many kind people who have been
commenting positively on this series. I have yet to receive any
negative comments but please note I will reply to both positive
and negative feedback as soon as I can.

Regards,

Johan van Rooyen
