I totally agree with Brandon Simpson. In addition, I use the ''vosotros''
form to teach the ''vos'' form:

vosotros habláis
vos      hablás

vosotros comprendéis
vos      comprendés

vosotros vivís
vos      vivís

vosotros tenéis
vos      tenés

And even if you do not use the ''vosotros'' form yourself, it's helpful to
be able to understand everything. My teacher was a Spaniard and didn't
teach us the ''vos'' form, so when I went to Nicaragua I first didn't
understand the ''vos'' form.
