¿Quieres un Descanso?

When you're finished with it, you'll know the full range of Recipes 1 through 6, preterite and all.

Volando a Guadalajara

This lesson will show you a few new verbs while you're reviewing Recipes 1 through 6.

You're now midway through the course, so you'll want to practice what you're learning here with native speakers of Spanish.

Ya Lo Hice

In this lesson, you'll go over the complete range of Recipe 7 and go through a few related exercises. You'll learn a number of commonly used short and crisp phrases that are associated with Recipe 7. You'll also learn how to apply Recipe 7 to hacer/dar/decir, verbs, which you need to know only because you'll be using them all the time. Besides learning more about Recipe 7, you'll also review Recipes 1 through 6. When you've completed this lesson, you'll feel comfortable using so-called irregular Spanish verbs, because you'll know the underlying pattern of these verbs.

Se Habla Español

Spanish has a flexible word order (with some constraints), and in this lesson you'll learn how and when you can change the word order around. You'll review Recipe 8, which you learned in Speed Spanish II, and you'll be introduced to Recipe 9, which is called the Se Habla Español recipe. Later, you'll review reflexives and then learn some new ones and run them through a number of recipes. Because this lesson is chock-full of material, you'll be busy with fun!

No Me Importa

Remember in the first Speed Spanish course when you learned all about the particles, lo/la/me. Later in Speed Spanish II, you expanded on them. Now you've made it all the way to Speed Spanish III, and it's time that you learn the full range of particle usages. You'll learn how to incorporate these new particles into your conversations and, as always, you'll practice the recipes. Then, you'll learn a host of new verbs that you can use in your everyday Spanish conversations.

Nos Veremos

In this lesson, you'll review the recipe that produces would verb phrases and then learn its capacity to express probability. Besides learning more about Recipe 10, you'll learn a new recipe that will help you to express the future. This is Recipe 11. Because this lesson is building toward the subjunctive recipes, you'll also learn a number of phrases that can trigger the subjunctive. As you'll do in every lesson, you'll go over some new vocabulary words. You'll pay special attention to ser and ir in this lesson, too. When you're finished, you'll have completed Recipes 10 and 11.

¡Viva Las Vegas!

The focus of this lesson, like all the others, is the recipes. You'll build on what you've learned in previous lessons by practicing Recipes 12 through 14.

After you finish it, you'll have learned Recipes 1 through 14.

¡Hombre Al Agua!

If you've ever heard the phrase, Viva Las Vegas, you've made the first step toward learning the subjunctive.
