He encontrado este hilo para informar de este tipo de cosa, pero parece que está cerrado:

http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/100128/where-are-the-errors-in-the-learn-videos

Esto me parece correcto, menos lo de la omisión de la excepción de "N y R":

Pero in este pantallazo creo que también debería enseñar "A o O" y no "A o E".

Niza. Gracias Amigo. :) - rac1, Mar 30, 2014

You might try sending it to feedback. - rac1, Mar 30, 2014

Answer 1

Hola, Feliz.

I am not stating that I would classify the first as an error, as it is clarified later- that is why I said "esto me parece correcto", but I still felt it necessary to note that I was aware of the omission in case anyone was nitpicking.

The error that I am calling to attention is that it says: "las vocales A o E sin acento, se usa ITO" where it should say: "las vocales A o O sin acento, se usa ITO". It is correct earlier in the video, that is why I included that slide. Unfortunately it is also what she verbally says at that point (the "E").

I am not making this point to be critical of the videos, but instead in hopes that it can be fixed, or at least recorded in the Q & A section so that if anyone watching the video gets confused, they can search "error in lesson 4.3" and find this. I tried and found several threads on errors, but not this specific one.

Reporting this through feedback is the quickest way to have it corrected. :) - rac1, Mar 31, 2014

Answer 2

What you said;

Esto me parece correcto, menos lo de la omisión de la excepción de "N y R"

Hello Bosquederoble ...If you look closely at the bottom part where the video picture shows Paralee with her finger in the air I am sure you will notice she says:

Si termina en consonante (No N ni R) o las vocales A o E sin acento, se usa ITO

So, I don't think that there is an error here in this respect!. However, I share you concern that it has not recently been made clear to new members how they should report to Paralee any mistakes in the videos, now that the particular thread you mentioned has been deleted, as I have noticed a few errors in two different units. Having said that, I was not looking for any mistakes at the time just reviewing the videos to make sure that there were no basic errors or gaps in my understanding. The videos are very well done and I see they have been remade.

Perhaps the moderators could helpfully suggest what we could do to bring to Paralee's attention any observed errors.

See my clarification of my concern. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 30, 2014
