Llegué tarde al trabajo esta mañana. La razón es que estuve viendo estos foros.


This took me so long to type that I'm thinking I may need to just go through the lessons before I attempt this again.

I'm also taking the advice of someone on here and trying to name things when I see them. Like el coche, agua, tierra and more. Just things that describe what I'm looking at.
You say 'viernes' correctly. The 'r' in Spanish tends to be 'less liquid' than English, i.e., normally stronger, but your pronunciation here is clear and understandable.
