Hi Sab: These podcasts are great. On this farther/further thing(which is even confusing to a native speaker) I think the best explanation I have heard is that the two words are interchangeable except in one meaning:
Further can mean" In addition to" or "Additionally" in a certain context (for example if you are making a point about something and want to add other facts--usually for emphasis) whereas farther can never be used that way.
Hi Seb, First of all congratulation. sincerely, I am very happy for you and your family. I agree with the other comments, it is little bit confusing (farther and further).
i'm a tad slacker ! don't wanna flip through videos to find out where you are from! so can you please tell me where are you from originally!? and that hat you bought from here, i found sth in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chullo as you see it's called chullo . My question is how do you pronounce it. and have a scary Halloween with a lot of ghosts and candy lol
i've checked that pronunciation guide in there but as you see they've put weird symbles that you really can't find in any dictionary but a Spanish one!! Thanks man, and keep it up :))

Hey Sue, I thought I said just that (interchangeable except for "in addition" to) but maybe I wasn't clear enough.
Thanks for your comment ;-)
You definitely said that. I was just giving my input as a native speaker.
Just checking ;-)
thanks, for this sweat podcast! i got a question though about what you're wearing it is spelled chullo (i suppose) but how is it pronounced ?
just forgot to check "Notify.."

@Tod: What AM I wearing? You mean the hat? I bought it in Sweden and I call it hat, lol.

@Tod I am from Hamburg, Germany. And look at that Wikipedia page again, there is a pronounciation guide in parenthesis right there.
