This section will describe how the grammar or written sub-lesson works. So the first written sub-lesson of “Socializing” is called “Introduction to Irregular Verbs: TENER and VENIR”. Sounds a bit dry, I know.

Basically, each written lesson ties in with an audio sub lesson. So in this case, it ties in with the “Birthday” audio lesson.  The verbs Tener and Venir were used in this audio conversation. The grammar points out what the verbs mean and how they are conjugated. There is individual audio files of Mauricio conjugating these verbs in the first person singular through to the third person plural (standard verb conjugation).

The lesson points out that these verbs are examples of irregular -ER and -IR ending verbs. There are hundreds of -ER and -IR ending verbs that have a standard ending for all the verbs. This makes it easier to remember if you are learning verbs for the first time.
However in this case, the verb ending deviate from the standard endings. These are two verbs that you just have to remember are different.

After the initial introductions have been made, the lesson goes on to use the various conjugations of these verbs in sentences. There is a written and audio component (and even a picture in some cases) of each sentence. Some questions are asked at the end of the lesson too.

There are three tabs that can be clicked on that take you away from the written text. These are entitled Culture, Quiz and Notes.

Culture introduces some element of Spanish or South American culture.

The quiz is a multiple choice quiz on the lesson.

Notes is a section for you to add your own notes on the lesson.
