Spanish lessons

Good tip, Julian.

I downloaded a 30 day free trial of Nisus Writer Express, which seems to do the trick quite nicely. I was able to write several paragraphs of Spanish in a couple of minutes with 49 points and no passes...which is an improvement on what I was doing. Whether my grammar is any good I've yet to find out! I'll put my Spanish musings past Marie José on Monday to see where I've gone wrong. The package is quite a useful language learning tool since it is continually auto-checking as you type, allowing you to check words and even select suggestions before you complete your own attempt! Trouble is, I don't know as many words as I'd like and I can't always be sure what the suggestions mean. The thesaurus operates in English, so I'm not sure how useful that is....I'll keep investigating.
