Muchas Gracias. Escuchaba de todos sus podcasts advanced, pero de este resumen de por, por podcast inspired beginners, me aprovecho en una gran manera. Es claro, facil para entender, y una de las mejores maneras para aprender un tema mas complicada para mi.

Excellent ways to teach Spanish - But can the price be revised to make way to a lot many like us - specially the intermediate lessons- will you kindly think over it

Hi Tapan, we recently implemented a large price drop to make up for terrible worldwide currency and fuel price problems that affect us all. We think the price is now unbeatable considering the quantity of materials in each pack, and still provide all the podcast audio for free for those that are unable to get the worksheets. Ben

I am confused about using ” estar por ” + infinitive. I have seen this to mean ” about to ” as in the following.

Estoy por comer.
“I am about to eat”

Seguramente ella está por llegar.
“Surely she is about to arrive”

I understand “tener ganas de” to mean “to feel like”.
Can you help me understand this a little better?
Thank you

“Estar + por + infinitive” means to be in favor of. “Estar + para + infin.” means to be about to do something.

Ben y Marina gracias por vuestro podcast. Me habéis ayudado mucho a comprender ‘por’ y ‘para’ . Llevo 10 anos estudiando el español hasta el nivel ‘A’ y quiero decir que el podcast para ‘Beginners’ ha hecho muy claro este asunto. Estuvimos en Madrid el mayo pasado, mi marido y yo, para visitar amigos madrileños. Afortunadamente la temperatura no habí­a subido más que 27 grados, así­ que podí­amos andar y explorar la ciudad cómodamente.
Estoy loca por tus podcasts.
