My spanish teacher is kind of a richard

I'm trying to teach myself some Spanish by ripping some Learn Spanish tapes into MP3s and listening to the lessons on my daily run. I'm sure amongst the Spanish speakers who are within earshot as I jog by I'm known as the crazy man who runs around repeating "Why don't you have it for me?" and "I am hungry. I want something to eat." I obviously haven't reached the important lessons where they teach you to say things like "If I had anything to declare, do you really think I would tell you about it?" or "I always travel with a suitcase full of limited reserve Patron. Why do you ask?" These particular tapes are set up with an instructor teaching two students. You the listener are sort of the third student. What strikes me is the instructor is clearly deferential to his female student. She is his star pupil and can do no wrong. The male student on the other hand can barely get a couple of words out before he is cut off and corrected. It's okay for the female to drop an "it" or a "that way" but if the male so much as neglects an over emphatic emphasis on "puede" or "quiero" he gets the verbal slap upside the head. So when I'm not jogging down the sidewalk asking in Spanish "Can you see it? Why can't you see it?" I'm generally getting frustrated and yelling at my virtual instructor to back off my classmate. "That's what he just said! Jerk!" Good thing I'm not getting a grade in this class.
