Hola Robert, If you scroll thru the second page of the grammar section there is a discussion regarding you question. I hope it is helpful for you. Saludos, Rich

thanks for the post and i hate to nitpick but in my Pimsleur audio a word like vamos is clearly pronounced bamos. with rocket spanish it is clearly pronounced vamos. viente is biente while with you viente is viente. your version makes much more sense. even some of my mexican friends can't clearly explain it. in your pronunciation guide you say beh sounds like veh but to me they don't at all alike. with Pimsleur being almost all conversational it was very hard to pick up words. your course is WAY better than Pimsleur by the way.

Hola Robert, I hope you checked the discussion I recommended. This is likely a subtle regional thing. Either way, I think you would be right and understood. I'm just a student. If this was my course I wouldn't have had to pay for it. Chuckle! Buena suerte amigo. Saludos, Rich
