I'n an Englishman who has been living in Mexico for over 10 years. I've never yet had a Mexican correct my Spanish (even when I ask them to). I wish they would, but they don't. When I ask them to 'hable más despacio, por favor' they repeat what they've said at the exact same speed. This is one of the reasons I'm glad I found this channel. Thank you. 👍

Me: Ooo, 12-minute video, perfect for a quick fix over coffee! Me 30 minutes later, with 3 pages of notes: Now I'm late for everything but SO worth it! Many thanks for this incredibly clear video. I'm B2/C1 and still did not know these subtleties. 🙏

Hey Qroo Paul, please make a video on constructions using “Se me…” such as “se me nota” or “se me olvidó”! Thank you!

Thank you so much! You have the best channel for these Spanish lessons! I was in Ecuador last week and I heard the guide say "Me voy." and I was smiling to myself, Paul talked about this in his videos, not "estoy saliendo", :) More power!

"Salir" comes from the same word as the English "sally". Both words are derived from the Old French word "sallir," meaning "to rush out," which in turn comes from the Latin "salire," meaning "to leap, jump, or spring." This Latin root is the source of various words in Romance languages related to the concept of jumping or going out, and it also influenced the English term through Norman French. So when two people are courting for instance, they're "sallying together", in Spanish. Or you would say "Do you want to sally forth to the supermarket?" in Spanish.

The best channel thank you for these uploads lots of Gems in these videos 💎

In some particular cases, you can use "estoy saliendo" or "voy saliendo" as a way of expressing that you ARE leaving. "Carlos, dónde estás????"... "Estoy saliendo!!! Voy saliendo!!!". It's used to reinforce the fact that, not only are you leaving but at that precise moment, you are getting in the car, closing the house door, etc. You can interpret it as a "Geeezzz... I AM on my way, come down!". As a cultural side note, usually when people say "estoy saliendo.. voy saliendo" (I'm on my way)... more often than not, they're not. It's just to get rid of you.

"Me voy a ir yendo" is an interesting phrase, it busted my brain the first time I heard it. I think you could say "voy a salir ahora" and that would work as well to say I'm leaving.

I want to thank you a lot. I've been a Spanish teacher for 2 years and I really needed this point of view. Every time I have a question about my own language, I resort to you Paul

Thaaaanks, none of my Spanish friends have told me this 😅

If you want to kick it up a notch, you can even do 'Me voy a ir yendo'. A few more related verbs are 'marcharse' and 'largarse' (used informally for 'vete': 'largate').

as a native Spanish speaker, today I learnt with you a Spanish grammar rule (reflexive verb) that I didn't know. hahaha

Ah man, I was expecting 'estoy saliendo' to have some kind of crude or banter meaning. Gutted!

Hi QP, i´ve learnd "me voy" from a song with the same name by Julieta Venegas. By the way a very nice one.

Muchísimas gracias!

Que consejos! Muchas gracias estos me servirán muy bien

I see the vos form in the conjugation list! Yay Paul, I love it!!

Gracias-excellent as always-looking forward to the next video!!!!

One of your best videos, Paul! It would be good to hear one also on poner - meter - meterse - colocar.

That was a great video!! Thanks. 🎉😊

Once again with the great content love it 🎉

Look at that HEAD O' HAIR! El pelo maravilloso!

Love you videos, thank you! Hope you don't mind a couple topic ideas for future videos: 1. the word and usage of "he" and "ya", 2. tips on getting better at Spanish when you have two little kids and a full time job and barely any free time to learn

Hey, another great video! Thanks for what you're doing. It helps.

Wow, that was great. Many thanks.

Ugh...this video made me realize just how much my Spanish is lacking. I would never have thought to use it for the last examples. I'll put it on my "repetitive watch" list. (nice photo of you as a young man!) I didn't see this on Skool. If it's really not there you should add it.

Quejarse in German „sich beklagen“ = same structure and yes it surely is reflexive in Spanish and German, just the translation into English turns it into „to complain“ which is not

Another great video!!👍👍👍

Gracias professor 🥃

Oh wow. This really calls my plans into question. Im back to school after 17 years finishing up my BA with a plan to get a clinical counseling degree so that I can help people, do something im good at, and support my family. But Im older and a single father, I can imagine getting through a masters program, but nit supporting my family firm potentially multiple years without getting paid. :/ Well, Im glad to have seen this, I might need to end up changing plans.

Thanks so much for this! I've been trying to figure out how to say "I'm taking the dog out," as in taking him out in the backyard. And although I haven't figured that out yet, you handled a good deal of my confusion about salir. I'm amazed you learned to speak another language so beautifully, with only the use of books and hearing it at work.

Fuuuuurk, estas variaciones de utilizar salir me salió con dolor de cabeza. x_x Muchos gracias por la leccíon!

Nice one, great 😊

Gracias Prof Paul. No voy a salir tu canal. Es muy ayudoso😉

Man this guy is good

Gracias

Thank you for this video! There is a small typo in the text around 6:18: No "te" vayas.

Cool! Gracias. Btw, you mentioned you were a deputy. I'm a 30 yr retired deputy who worked in corrections in California.

I’m loving lingo pie mixed in with a bunch of other methods

Estoy en camino!

Me gusta mucho aprender español con Paul. Verbos reflexivos son verbos pronominales -- nunca lo sabía. En ruso también hay verbos que terminan en "'-se" (es el sufijo ruso/ucraniano -sia), pero todos se llaman verbos reflexivos. El verbo quejarse en ruso us un verbo reflexivo. En ucraniano, tambíén es un verbo reflexivo. Until now I didn´t realize that 'pronominal' and 'reflexive' were not synonyms. Mind!blown. Pero, lo lamento, soy esta persona... entonces... Me parece que hay un error typográfico. "No ta vayas" en lugar de "No te bayas".

I am currently spending several months in the Dominican Republic and trying daily to learn and use Spanish. I originally learnt (what I now which is not much) in Mexico. I am finding it a little more difficult to understand the people here than in Mexico (accent, speed, vocab?) I was surprised how little English there is here but actually delighted as I have no wish to rely on this: I would much rather muddle through making a mess of Spanish but therefore learning, thenuse my native tongue. Any tips for Dominican Spanish? Your videos are very helpful for us anglophones.

Hola from Palm Harbor!

I am a paramedic and I have to ask patients every day how much they weigh and how tall they are and I can’t find one video on how to do that. Could you please do a video on how to ask someone how much they weigh, and how tall they are, and what the response would be thank you.

Thanks!

Hey I love your videos can you do a video about quedar and quedarse im having a little problem with it

Mr. Paul, I know you love to talk about the subjunctive. Can you do a video on subjunctive triggers in the reduplicative form? Thanks.

Hi Paul, I am currently being tutored in Spanish like you as a non-native speaker, but I have no one to practice with during the week. Any good suggestions on how to practice Spanish daily so that I can become better?

Please please please do a video on the past tenses in Spanish and when to use estaba, etuve, era and fue! There are topics which I couldn't wrap my head around but with your explaination I can't figure why It was difficult to begin with. So thank you!

Hi Paul. I enjoy your videos very much. I would love to look at the content of one of your wordlists. I imagine you used notebooks and jotted things down like vocab and grammar. Not sure about the structure, though. I'm trying a wordlist myself, but it seems that it isn't organized very well. Maybe a comment or two on that sometime. Thanks again.

Hasta luego que ya me voy a salir! 😂 ☮️

Pablo, I was a little annoyed when I started listening because I was pretty sure that, despite the claim that this was posted only three hours ago, that I *had* in fact heard it before. But before I had a chance to stop the video, I heard the ad for Lingopie. Was it there the first time? If so, I missed it. Dang, that sounds like *exactly* what I need. I've looked for KZfaq videos in Spanish, and I guess because I'm an Anglophone in an English speaking country, I've had trouble finding what I want. But I am *definitely* going to give it a try. EDIT: Paul, I still want to do the Lingopie, but I'm not seeing anything in the signup that indicates to me that you will get credit. It asked where I learned about it, and one choice was "KZfaq Ad", but when I clicked on it, it didn't ask me where I saw it. Same thing if I picked KZfaq Review. I want to make sure you get credit for connecting me before I commit.

Thumbs up for the handsome deputy 😀

Hint: You are sitting in a crowded theater with all nine of the Supreme Court Justices. There is a panel discussion going on. Paul is giving a lecture. All of a sudden someone in the crowd stands up and yells fire. You jump up. But it is too late. There is so much smoke in the air that no one can see a sign that is posted on the wall clearly in English. What did that sign say? Do you remember what that sign said. Unfortunately you cannot all leave the way you came into the theater. The emergency lights pop on you to see the sign. What does that sign say? Warning the sign is not written in English! But if the theater is in Mexico and the Mexican Supreme Court is there and Paul is giving the same lecture. Someone yells Fuego. The el humo es intenso also. Everyone No todos pueden salir por la misma entrada por la que entraron. The emergency lights pop on the sign that tells you the way out reads? Paul told you he was a first responder. Paul told you he learned Spanish via the Immersion Method. Paul is the most preferred American English instructor on KZfaq. There is a reason he is the most preferred. Read the signs. Then find your way out. You only have seconds before you "succumbunt fumo inhalantes". Sorry for getting back into your comment Section Paul. I ran what the problem though chatGPT. It stalled. It could not figure it out without being provided the same type of hints provided above. Google Gemini had a difficult time also. If AI had of been in the theaters it would have gone down in flames. Most people would have seen the sign and made there way out unless they were using Google Translator. See you later I have got to get the hell out of this Inferno. So now I leave!

How do you say, “Do you have any I.D?” and “STOP RESISTING!” in Spanish?

Fun to see your old sheriff pic

I often here people using salir when looking for something on a phone or computer for example. “No sale nada” to express, ‘I’m not seeing anything’, ‘it’s not showing up’.

How about salir a + a place or to do something e.g., salgo ya a la tienda y luego saldré otra vez a dar un paseo? Not sure if that's correct but I live down here in Spain and I seem to be getting away with it (or else my girlfriend is too sweet to correct me). Another one would be something like "esta mañana he salido en bici pero luego tenía que trabajar (y por eso no te he llamado honey" 😬).

With the instruction about ex: my wife is living now and she says “estoy saliendo ahora”….wouldn’t “me voy ahora” or”ya me voy” be the same?

I wonder if he has a video of llevar vs traer. Yo puedo llevar vino a la fiesta..instead of using the verb “to bring”

Good morning. I signed up for the unlimited membership yesterday but did not receive any instructions on how to access the information. Can anyone help me with that? Thanks!!

Bit crude this, but effective to my own somewhat convoluted brain I interpret irse using the famous “Funny? Funny how?scene from Goodfellas The tension is finally broken by the “Get the f%#k out of here” 😮 Well that’s last bit is how I think of and instantly remember Irse Is that accurate enough or useful in your opinion?

Gracias por otra video off topic pero como se dice “ I don’t mean to be Or I’m not trying to sound”

Then we all have those days when we don't know if we're coming or going 😅. Great video as always.

There's one more way to use the verb salir. Salirse con la suya means to get away with it.

I would translate Voy saliendo as I'm heading out, so get off my case already.

Every day at the end of class a Spanish student would ask us Americans "Os vais?" because she wanted to use our seats.

omg your police photo!!! you were a baby

6:30 it‘s „No TE vayas.“ and not „TA“ 😉

Quiero ver la foto de Paul de veinte años. Dónde está?

¡VOY! = I‘m coming (in case somebody is calling for you) Me voy = I‘m going (now) Ya se fue = it’s (he’s/she’s) gone ¡sale! = used by Mexicans when parting at the end of a conversation after agreeing on something (same WhatsApp and talking to each other)

How does dejar (to leave) fit in here? I'm pretty sure you can use it in the same way as English but I could be mistaken.... I left my keys in the table - Dejé las llaves en la mesa I left my country last year - Dejé mi país el año pasado

In Spain we often see marcharse used for departing from a place. And in Mexico salir is more common. That led me to wonder why isn’t it salirse. I found one reference that suggests salirse is used to leave a place abrupty or even inappropiately. Is this how you would use it?

Why is it "voy a cenar" but "me voy PARA cenar"?? (thinking of your rule, "use 'a' with verbs of motion)....???

Lingo Foot

Great lesson

Ya se fue? Where is the ir? You're just confusing me.

Dang. You go so fast. It's like you're teaching it to people who already know the material. Try teaching it like we're students who don't know yet. You should label this as advanced .

Oh no paid advertising

Thanks!
