  1. Thank you for putting together this online resource to help other people and myself learn and/or re-learn Spanish. Bowl, the way it is shown on this website is spelled incorrectly, however, I may have been taught a different method to spell the word; the way that the word is shown: B-O-L-W seems phonetically accurate but is different from the ubiquitous English dictionaries and spelling of my region.
