  1. I was with you when you were doing these words, and it's a lot harder than it seems. It's a good thing we've got a word watcher like you to help us out!

  2. Thank you for all these definitions! It has truly helped me throughout this book. I understand what you mean though, I find myself constantly stop upon spanish words and try to figure it out.
