When I am a bit lazy to watch a movie, but still want to learn conversational Spanish, I watch a series on Mexican television. They have incredibly clear pronounciation.

Cuando estoy un poco perezosa para ver una película, pero todavía quiero aprender español coloquial, veo la serie en la televisión mexicana. Tienen pronunciación muy clara.

Para ver - is it ok??

Well, in English it should say "A Series of Unfortunate Events" plural. En Español, creo que debe estar "Una Serie de Acontecimientos Desfortunados" plural tambien. Me gusta esa peliula tambien. - sagiia, Aug 12, 2010

Después de una serie de quiebras, Milton Hershey finalmente se hizo rico.

After a series of bankruptcies, Milton Hershey finally struck it rich.

Here's a little background on the chocolate capital of North America: HERSHEY(tm) HISTORY Milton S. Hershey, at the tender age of six, had set his sights on a small town northwest of Lancaster in Derry Township, Pennsylvania. This was his birthplace, and it is where he would return to build his chocolate empire and create a whole new way of life. His candy, his town, his park and his hotel were all forged out of his determination to make dreams come true. The young entrepreneur left the countryside to conquer the world of candymaking and embarked on several unsuccessful business ventures in Philadelphia, New York, Denver and Chicago. After each attempt ended in bankruptcy, Milton Hershey finally returned to his native Lancaster County in 1886 and focused his efforts on caramels as he built up the Lancaster Caramel Company. Twelve tremendously successful years later, he sold the company for $1 million--a move that marked the beginning of Hershey as we know it today.
