If you haven't heard I'm launching Ser vs Estar Wed 18th Feb. Francisco and I have been working hard to simplify one of the most challenging but important subjects. We've made it the easiest Ser vs Estar teaching ever. It will be Layer 14.

This is just a teaser... That's right. Come hang out with me and Keren for 6 days, 7 nights as we show you around, immerse you in Spanish culture and practice Spanish conversations daily. It's mostly all planned now, we just need to compile an info pack. Full info coming soon

I've just launched these audio files you can listen to in your car...

A few months ago I got a Whatsapp from Mike who was part of the Layers Method and was serious enough to take the Hands-On version with me. He lives in Indiana and wanted to be able to converse both to immigrants in his area and while going on holiday. I was always impressed whenever I logged in to the videocall and he had studied the agreed layer perfectly, and his questions were always thoughtful. When I get time I will put together a video of his amazing progress. But recently he sent he shared his story in this testimonial video. I hope it encourages you to be consistent in your flashcard practice...

Phew! That took so much more work than expected but I managed to ship it to you inside of Friday thankfully. This Layer 13 is called Patterns and gives you 100s (they say 1000s) of instant words you can use by learning a few patterns. The video is still uploading to the server (using 3rd-world internet while on my African holiday) but should be watchable in the next hour. I highly recommend watching that first before jumping into the cheat sheets. You can find Layer 13 in Classroom > Weekly Modules > Layer 13. Would love to hear what you think, Rob
