Only 2 sets of endings, -er and -ir endings are the same for regular verbs.

Setting your poor mathematical skills aside, you were still wrong. Back to school for you, Stu.

They use vos a lot in Central and South America,vos sabeis =tu sabes down there.

Thanks for the example. Is that all there is to it? I've heard of the "voseos" but no one could ever give me a clear explanation of what it meant or how it worked.

Peninsular Spanish uses "vosotros" (the plural of "tu"), but not "vos" (used in place of "tu" in parts of Latin America).

I then drug my NOB brother-in law-into it but it looks like he wimped out after level 6. Just snooping around to see if anyone is working the program, helps to keep you motivated if you think there is someone along for the ride.

It took me 85 days but today I finished the final skill and completed the Spanish "tree". Now all I have to do is practice, practice, practice! flag waver

I'm pretty happy with my progress with the written word however the spoken word is a whole different matter. I am very pleased with Duolingo and will continue with it while realizing that it has some real shortcomings. Ultimately I don't think that a computer is the best place to learn a foreign language but for me and for now Duolingo has been terrific.
Maybe with all those Lingots I've put in the bank I can treat myself to a day off! drunk
