We have to say that up to now you have done a fantastic job! Arriving at this part of the book means that you have internalised 95% of what you need to know to use Por and Para well.

So, let’s take ‘un descanso’ from the proceedings and talk about your learning journey.

Probably, if you are one of those obsessive learners that we meet so often (it’s very normal and perfectly acceptable to become obsessive about your Spanish) you have likely experienced your fair share of frustration.

Sometimes it seems that the words just won’t stick, or even when they do stick they just don’t come out properly when you try to speak. If you can identify with these statements then trust us when we tell you that you are not alone and that ‘you are completely normal’.
