I had a couple of complaints about “Shortcut to Informal Spanish Conversations level 2″, that stopped me in my tracks.

I get plenty of praise, like these examples. The praise always outweighs complaints by at least 100 to 1 so I don’t usually pay attention to complaints.

Usually the complaints that I get are pretty easy to dismiss;

“I don’t really like Spanish, I just wanted to know how to say jorge is hot so stp mailing me or i am calling the cops.”

Easy to decide what to do there…

Delete.

Then I get some complaints like this;

“you just ended your last sentence with a preposition, you’d fail my class”.

Oh sorry… I should have written,

“that’s for what the delete key is”

Whatever!

But the complaints about “Shortcut to Informal Spanish Conversations level 2″ were from people whose opinions I care about…

my students.

Before I tell you what they said, I should point out there were only two complaints, however they made the same point, so they really caught my attention.

Here’s what they said, in a nutshell.

“There’s nothing new in Shortcut to Informal Spanish Conversations level 2, it’s just a reworking of Shortcut to Spanish level 2  in the informal form.”

My first reaction was; well yes, that’s the idea.

But then I thought about it a little,

“Shortcut to Informal Spanish Conversations level 1″, does have a lot of unique material. I guide people to use extra Spanish that doesn’t fit into the structure of the main “Shortcut to Spanish course”. 

Maybe they have a point.

Perhaps, “Shortcut to Informal Spanish Conversations level 1″, does need to offer more.
