Hola Jordan, hace muchos años que veo tu canal, cuando se llamaba Gringo Español o algo parecido. Me acuerdo de cuando estaba en la secundaria durante mis primeros años como un aprendiz inciante y siempre veía tus vídeos para que entendiera mejora las reglas gramáticas del idioma. Ya pasaron 9 años desde que comencé a aprender español y gracias a mi conocimiento de español, pude enseñarme portugués a solas por hablar con nativos y usar dicionários para conjugar los verbos. Quería agradecerte por toda tu ayuda, que creo que tu manera de explicar las cosas es bastante entendible hasta para los que entiendan bien la gramática en inglés 🤗 Ojalá que un día puedas empezar a aprender portugués también jajajaja para crear un gringo portugués

Hola Jordan, I now live in Spain and I can confirm that all my Spanish friends always use Escuchar for to listen and Oír for to hear when speaking. None of them said that they would ever consider using them the other way. I have also read a number of books written in Spanish and have never come across these two words used the other way around. However I would add that the books that I have been reading to improve my Spanish have tended to be of a more simplistic context sometimes written for children so maybe that is the reason that they stick with your “rule of thumb” for these two verbs. Just thought that I would share this with you. Great video and it will certainly make me look out in the future for any exceptions to the rule. Sigue con el buen trabajo!!!

Great video!!! These two verbs have always stumped me, and now I know I wasn’t alone. 🙌🏼

This was really interesting Jordan. Thank you so much for the hard work you did to investigate this and present us with your findings. Very much appreciated.

Thank you Sr. Jordan you're fantastic. I understand explanation. You made it very clear. Thank you again.

Amazing! 👏🏼 I agree with you on that last advice!

this rule is a simplest and remarkable i've seen to be remembered between this two verbs. thanks 👍

You’re so smart!! Love you’re videos so much!!!!

Great video. In Mexico, escuchar is often used where I would expect oir to be used. One example is when people hear gunshots: Los vecinos dijeron que escucharon detonaciones de armas de fuego.

Awesome video and research! I came here because I wanted to say “I heard that expression in a podcast” but the translator said I should use “escuchar” rather than “oír.” One note - I will say the examples from Yo No Soy Tu Perfecta Hija Mexicana may not be typical because the whole book is written in the first person by a teenage girl born to poor Mexican parents. The translator may be trying to capture a more colloquial way of talking. Just a thought.

Great video, Jordan. :)

Hola Jordan, ¡Déjame felicitarte por otro video excepcional! Se nota el esfuerzo que pones, el contenido siempre Preciso y presentado de una manera fácil de entender. ¿Estas seguro que los traductores de ese libro son “profesionales”? Muchas veces traductores traducen palabras sin tomar en cuenta “usage” me imagino que cada país latinoamericano tiene su propio usage, el que también puede cambiar de acuerdo al nivel de educación del hablante, pero ya tú sabes eso. ❤

Wow, another great video!

Great video. Thanks!

Great to see you. I love your videos.

Great video! Thank you!

Jordan thank you

Jordan a great course you should consider selling is a "Vocabulary Builder Program." Where the top 1000 to 5000 (or however many you choose) are taught through context and we are given tips and tricks to memorize them. Just an idea cheers!

Yes, this has driven me nuts for so long!!!

Hola Jordan, I am still a beginner and have been doing ok, but am a little stumped on when to use ti or te and also mi or me. It must be obvious to everyone but me. Any pointers?

OMG another great video about something I 'was" 100% perplexed about. Muchas Tenkius Sr. Dude! HotDam!

Hola Jordan, I am trying to sign up for your lifetime membership on your website, but I'm not getting a confirmation email to make my account! Excited to get started, let me know if I may have done something incorrectly.

I don't know what it is but you are very good at explaining spanish. Thanks.

Muchas gracias..

im a native speaker, and a tip for having a better pronunciation is to instead of saying for exaple in the word "vecino" an "ou" at the end like "vecinou" dont say the "u" its a problem that lots of english-speaking people have Also, great videos :)

Good stuff

Also, I’m interested in seeing the translations and opinions given to you by the professor from Costa Rica. Do you have a copy of the answers from the different regions? 😃

I think it boiles down to this. The rule of thumbs stands, except when "hearing" as in "was able to hear" (although it was faint), escuchar is the one to use.

That distinction isn't surprising to me as a Latin enthusiast: escuchar < auscultāre "to listen to, take heed to" oír < audīre "to hear" That is why Spain keeps the tradition while Latin America aren't always doing so.

Cuando vas a darnos un video del subjuntivo! Haha o ya has hecho uno??

yeah 4yrs in México & I barely ever *heard* oír

Where are the 3 from?

Is this similar to the difference between entender and comprender?

When I was studying in Cuba, my teacher told me never to use "oír" because it refers to the biological process of hearing....escuchar is to hear/ to listen. But I was corrected by various profs when I was working on my degree. It is totally regional, in my opinion!

How to watch the lessons in order please ? I'm new to Español

Book translators don't think in context. It depends on what something like "the sound of the radio" changes into throughout the whole book.

“The birds singing” translates to: los pájaros cantando.El canto de los pájaros would be: the sing of the birds. You don’t hear or listen a secret, you uncover , be told or or get the knowledge of it in spanish. There’s no possible literal translation. Me enteré de un secreto o descubrí un secret o me contaron un secreto In general the translation you use are cheesy. Like Jimmy heard someone open a door Your translation: Jimmy oyó que alguien abrió una puerta Translation could be: Jimmy oyó abrirse una puerta (someone gets to impersonal) Jimmy oyó a alguien abrir una puerta (most literal, but a bit weird) Jimmy oyó que alguien abrió una puerta would translate to English as: Jimmy heard that someone opened a door. Which is not the phrase you started with. Note the that clause you added in Spanish and the change in tense in open verb. Also scream would never be vitorear. Vitorear is to cheer, scream is gritar o chillar And you can hear or listen to music, just as you can oír o escuchar música. It depends on the intention of understanding. If you want to understand or interiorise the sound, then you listen,, if not, then you hear Please note this is from es-es Spanish context. Native spanish hear

How many t shirts do you have with random Spanish phrases/words on them?

I gave this video s like. I want to get coffee right now but I want to make a detailed comment in the future. For now great job.

Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

I listen to Spanish but I don’t hear it well 😢. I have no idea how to translate that.

ESPAÑOL si the best

It’s mostly interchangeable - what does “Oye Como Va” mean? Hear how it goes or Listen how it goes, lol.

Is it just me or does this guys voice sound computer generated?

Everything in English is confusing like oir and escuchar. So don’t worry oir and escuchar is the only difficult thing in Spanish .

So basically do your best and if anyone acts like a language snob then show them this video haha

Omg! Your content is awesome but your presentation sounds like AI and a lot of the text is unnatural. It is muy difícil de escuchar. For example, you repeat “rule of thumb WAY too much” If you could work on that I think your audience would explode with Spanish learners signing up. But again, great content and hopefully my comment came across as constructive and not critical as that was my intention.

Please work on your accent, I love your videos but it sounds like your not even trying to pronounce it correctly.

We need more videos of you speaking spanish in the streets
