01 Direct Objects (lo, la, los, las)

Hola. This video lesson covers complementos directos (direct objects).  In Spanish we have to  be a little more careful with direct objects than in English because we have to take both ‘gender’ and ‘plurality’ into account. Oh right, and we put them in a different place in the sentence.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about this lesson.
