Hi everyone, Paul here :)
In English we use the phrase "I'm used to" a lot. For example...
I'm used to sitting in that chair
I'm used to his awful temper
I'm used to speaking Spanish every day now
It all sounds very natural. The good news is that there's also an easy way to convert this into natural sounding Spanish using a simple formula I give you in this lesson.
As always, it's presented so you can plug it into your spoken Spanish and begin using it right away.
Let me know how you get on!
Paul
P.S - For those of you wanting more, my complete course (away from KZfaq) is ready! It'll take you all the way into full conversational fluency as painlessly as possible as well as giving you 1-1 access to me personally to coach you every step of the way :-)

As a native spanish speaker, this class is useful to native english speakers, sometimes can be a little difficult to understand when we speak but there are many podcasts to train listening, I recommend spotify. It depends on the area but the Spanish that Paul teaches is Mexican Spanish, as a chilean spanish speaker, we speak in x2 speed. Anyway, thx paul

Thanks again Paul. I really look forward to each new Monday lesson. I just wrapped up level 6 in your course and Whew!!! Those irregular verbs were a challenge. But, I know how very important they are and you did a great job making them relatable to real conversations. I know I've reached the point of throwing in the towel or speaking Spanish. I choose to speak Spanish. I'm so happy to learn in a way that works for me. You're a great teacher, thanks so much!

Correct. Spanish does not use the gerund (viviendo, comiendo, hablando, etc.) after prepositions. It requires the infinitive (vivir, comer, hablar, etc.) instead.

I'm new at trying to learn Spanish. How do you determine male and female nouns?

@JimCAScr 6 жыл бұрын

Glenn, its not always true, but usually nouns ending with o are male and 'a' are female. For example, la casa is female, el teatro is male. However, for many nouns, you just have to learn them through repetition since many don't end in o or a and sometimes that rule doesn't even work.

Greetings Paul ! Why do you use the INFINITIVE (TO) ...{{habl(AR) }} instead of the GEREND... (ING) {{habl(ANDO)}} ! This is confusing as heck 🤪🤪🤪

@dogwithwigwamz.7320 11 ай бұрын

Is `To live or not to live` as straightforward in Spanish as it is in English ? " It is certain in English. But is "Vivir o no vivir" as certain in Spanish as `To live or not to live,` "To be or not To Be" in Spanish ? I understand the Subjunctive hardly exists in modern English.
