Mistake in lesson 3.2? "Estoy casada"

At the 17 minute mark of lesson 3.2 in the interactive program Amy says: "I'm tired - Estoy cansada. I'm married - Estoy casada." This is during the section when they are explaining the difference between _cansado(a)_ and _casado(a)_. In a different lesson they went to great lengths explaining it should be "Soy casada". Is this a mistake in 3.2?

Hi. The question of whether to use ser or estar with casado has been discussed a lot on the WordReference.com forum. The conclusion? Both are considered correct in some places, but in other places one verb is preferred to the other. For more detail than you probably want, take a look at these threads: __http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=85943__ __http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=112892__ __http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=107695__ I think it was Rocket Spanish's Amy Waterman who recommended the WordReference.com forums. They're fascinating and often very useful.
