  NOTES.
1 La tarde : the afternoon, same word as tarde, late.
2

La estación: the station; you will also see : la estatua, the statue;
el estomago, the stomach; Estraburgo, Strasbourg;
especial, special, etc., and even : la libra esterlina : the pound sterling.
3 Mind the pronunciation of excelente.
   
  Let us make it clear that has is ha when an auxiliary and tiene in the other cases.
Thus : Carlos ha visto París : Charles has seen Paris (to have, auxiliary);
Carlos tiene un amigo : Charles has a friend (to have, possess).

And, since, to say you (singular) we use the 3rd person :
Usted me ha permitido : you have [your H. has] permitted me...,
and Usted tiene mi dinero, you have my money.
 

These are very small difficulties which won't resist a few days' practice;
you'll soon realize that.
It is normal that in the day's lesson, some points should appear a little foggy to you :
light will be given by the following lessons, naturally and without any effort.
For the moment, your work remains a passive one : reading and repeating.
You are on the travelling belt : let yourself be carried.
