skip to 5:33, thank me later

I just want to say I have the hardest time remembering the word for carabiner in English as a native speaker. Maybe I’ll have better luck with mosquetón?

Good video - except - you go a little fast for me!

Comprehensible input for me has these qualities: - Speaking slowly - Pauses and clear breaks in-between sentences and ideas - Lots of visual communication - Repetition of new words in different contexts - Simple short sentences with one or two main verbs or nouns - Lots of non-verbal communication - Mostly common-use words and phrases I might recognize from other studies It's exactly the same as having a friend willing to teach me a thing or two. The best benefit is practicing what I have already learned. I like to have a little bit of casual CI when I can't study. It's better than nothing. It's like when I learn art or music, it can't be all study. I teach piano and I always recommend at least 10% lazy and loose study where you just have some fun. At least 10% to 20% should be hardcore drills and exercises. The remaining time should be normal study. It's about maintaining a realistic routine that you can keep up consistently. So, yes I definitely agree that CI should be more of an activity to do for fun or for practice, but should not be 100% of your time with the language. Or anything for that matter. People learn their native language in a combination of both ways. I think CI helps with consistency, memorization, and immersion.

Funny aside: Many years ago, my high school Spanish teacher - with tongue firmly planted in cheek - told us that you don't use "le la" or "les la" or any other double L combination because it sounded to Hawaiian. You're welcome.

Why was he the only one with a hammer?

Very interesting video. Very well explained. I have noticed in the video with the examples that there was no subjunctive mode. Could i conclude rhat lo que doesn't need the subjunctive mode ? Ty

Do you have any video about spanish past sentence ?

The best explanation I got was one is a state and one is a characteristic. That’s why to be dead is esta. Because being dead is a state and not a characteristic.

Bro’s the best RUclips Spanish teacher on RUclips!!!!👏👏👏

"Allá donde da vuelta el aire" - a very far place, it's normally said with a slight mocking tone 🤭🤭

This man can explain everything understandable... gracias tío

in the example "Voy a decir qué hacer", why does qué have an accent? i thought you used the accent for a question.

Andrew that’s fab - I’ve read a few articles which have only made this more confusing, but this is the first time it’s almost made logical sense 😅 thanks

That’s great Andrew, I’m familiar with quite a few of those, but fab to have them all together 😊

People say we don't have two to be verbs or two past tense. But technically we do. It's just that spanish breaks them out into separate headings They just exist as a merger 😊

We do use "which is your name in english?" Just not in the same way as the spanish or same circumstance. 😊

One of the reason I wound not subscribe to the repeating the "cuál es tu nomber" 100 to a 1000 times logic. Is bc it would not work. Think of the other thousands of set phrases and multiply them by that number (100-1000) a day. There would not be enough time to speak even your native tongue 😂 As one advances in another language, the more often phrase like: "cómo has estado" "cómo le/te va" etc will stick naturally without much effort. Thanks for your video thought You have highlighted some good information 😊

Está aburrido otra vez

Tus videos son fantásticos para aprender español. Realmente he mejorado desde que los descubrí. Es como una mina de oro de vocabulario y frases en español. Gracias por todo.

muchas gracias mi hermano

The great philosopher of our time, Lil Wayne, once said, "Why that, why this, why you on that why sh*t?"

You are so excellent in teaching!!!!!

No puedo dejar mi trabajo vs no puedo salir del trabajo is a bit confusing…but love your videos👍👍🙏

Why do Spanish verbs that end in *AR* now end with “o” instead of the grammatically correct past participle? I noticed this in Reggaton, Merengue, Bachata songs like Karol G’s CAIRO, for example “Alejao = alejado”; enamorao = enamorado, dejao = dejado; ganao = ganado, pasao = pasado etc. Can you explain it to me if this only happens in verbs with AR or all types of verbs?

Gracias muy muy útil.

in this song antes de las seis shakira sings de D in dejar en a strange way. Also covers made from this song psanish speakers don;t prnounce it like a D. Could you epxlain why?

Omg, I am happy that I found your channel 😢 I love it

Im American born with 2 years of French and 2 years of Spanish both at college level, spaced apart. I live in miami where I have a lot of Spanish exposure but wouldn't say I'm immersed here. Most of my relationships have e with native Spanish speakers so I have home exposure 😂. I am thinking about doing 5 weeks of immersion in Medellin in a program that is one-on-one and conversationally based. My goal is jump start my conversational abilities. What are your thoughts on this type of experience.

I always have at least one A-HA! moment with each of your lessons. Fantastic teaching!

You are a genius!

It becomes so clear when you say it!

Your wife is happy for you to go shopping without her, but instead with your female neighbour? And have lunch together with her too?... No matter what your wife says, this hurts her inside.

EXCELLENT! BTW, Only Eric Clapton gets to use "Le la"! 😅

Stop studying Spanish and just acquire it

tengo hecho un par de llamadas

I've felt that "para" (generally) refers to a future change and "por" refers to something in the past or already exists. Let's see if the video agrees.... yeah, kind of. "In order to" talks about the future and "because of" talks about something that's already happened.

Thank you for the great video however, I am not sure how it applies to the following sentences. I tried the 'phrase rule' but I guess I don't understand the Spanish language enough to really get it. Here the sentences are: El calcio reduce el riesgo DE QUE el bebé nazca con problemas de peso. Hay señales de alarma DE QUE un niño está siendo abusado. No hay ninguna garantía DE QUE esta estrategia pueda funcionar.

Is there a difference between "hay" to distinguish present from future?

I´ve heard people explaning that Ser is permanent y Estar is temporary but it is not correct.

Great video, thank you! Is this the same pronunciation for European Spanish too please?

I don’t want to go to the party makes it easier to translate for beginners, not come to the party. Just a thought

5 minutes in, and this muppet still hasn't explained what it means..... Idiota

Excelente analisis

Thank u 🙏

I learned so much Spanish watching this. I just wonder if I am speaking Spanish with an Australian accent.

Well-targeted topic! As a teacher of English, I prefer to help students "notice" a point for learning, and at 5:28, I can see this approach employed. Delighted to see this and I will check to see how well it can help my progress in Spanish.

Great video to supplement your El Cuentacuentos class!

I noticed "He" at the beginning of a sentence. What does it mean? Is it used in Mexican Spanish?

Much clearer, thanks
