Wow. This was by far the hardest unit yet. I am probably going to do it again before I move on. I listed so many this time because so much was being thrown at me.

Xen, Sabio & Other Contributors to this thread:
Thanks for your efforts. I find it easier to push myself to do yet another lesson because of your posts.

SF_Hombre,
Thanks.
Sabio is the man in all this. I am a visual learner so doing it this way really helps me. I get frustrated when I cannot find the words Pimsluer uses in the online translation services but Sabio usually steps in to fill in the gaps.
I won't be carrying on any in depth conversations with the garotas when I go, but at least I will be able to greet them now and ask them a few basic questions. It should help a little.
I re-did this chapter tonight. I should be able to finish Unit I before my trip.
