I'm puzzled -- just want to make sure I'm learning it correctly, please check if below is correct:
todavia -- "still" in affirmative and questions, "yet" in negative and negative questions todavia estoy aqui -- I'm still here ¿todavia estas aqui? -- are you still here? todavia no ha llegado -- he hasn't arrived yet ¿todavia no ha llegado? -- hasn't he arrived yet? ya -- "already" in affirmative and questions ya ha llegado -- he's already arrived ¿ya ha llegado? -- has he arrived yet? How about ya in negative sentences? Thanks!! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

JuanM,
Seeing that you are from Colombia, could you please tell me where I can listen to Colombian radio online? The Colombian accent is supposed to be one of the most easily understood Spanish accents and so could be a good model for those us who want to acquire a neutral accent. Zygimantas, Apologies for butting into your thread. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sure. Here are a few: http://www.hjck.com/ http://www.lafm.com.co/ http://www.rcnradio.com/ http://www.caracol.com.co/ I like the first one. Though it features mostly music, the spoken segments and programs are of very high quality. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
