It is cool/It was cool
Hello, i was wondering if someone could help me with a phrase.
I take Spanish lessons on Skype and often find myself saying "it is cool" or "it was cool" ...I know..i know i say "cool" a lot  but it would be great if i could surprise my tutor by saying it in Spanish.An example of how i might use it is: Teacher: How did you find todays class? Me: It was cool because i like how you explained.... Any help much appreciated.

¡Genial! (and there are regional ways to say it)
Fue genial = It was cool

Agree with Rusty...
Other options, Me ha encantado. or ¡Me encantó! If your tutor is Argentinean, ¡Macanuda!

Thanks for the replies! My tutor is from Spain and i will soon also be learning from a lady from peru.
Sorry i know this isn't a vocabulary question but is ¡genial! pronounced as a hard "g" as in "good" or the "h" from the throat (i hope that makes sense). i get so confused when to do which one.

You are welcome. It is "genial" pronounced "hard" (from the throat), NOT like "good".
For Spain, if your tutor is from Bilbao, you can also say "Fenomenal"...

The 'g', when followed by the vowels 'e' and 'i', is pronounced like the German 'ch'. It is aspirated. This is what JPablo meant when he said it comes from the throat. It doesn't sound at all like the 'g' in 'good'.
If the 'g' is followed by 'a', 'o' or 'u', it is pronounced like the English 'g' in 'good'.
