How well have you mastered your phrase? What was your score out of 5?

I'm a native spanish speaker, and your videos have helped me a lot for my english classes. Thanks 😁😁

Iam not a native speaker but I have been trying to learn Spanish for years. You make it easier for me. I was a 3/5 with "Tengo que" I put the sentence together just fine. Tengo que ir al mercado comprar tomatoes, lechuga y pan. Great concept for me.

The last part is so true. i explain grammar to my friends when i learn something new and they aren’t even learning spanish but they listen cause they get a better understanding of how it works and know it helps me. Plus i do it to my self i pretend i’m explaining stuff to someone when i’m not

Mil gracias, yo soy maestra de Español para extranjeros, y estoy aprendiendo mucho de tus videos pues tienes una forma muy eficaz de explicar estrategias para aprender un idioma tan extenso como lo es el Español. Felicidades, eres genial. 🙂

What an excellent video! Concise and useful suggestions. I have several areas to choose from where my knowledge of various concepts and phrases is between 0 and 3. Keep up the fantastic work. This is an EXCELLENT channel!

Good video y info!!!! gracias

Watching Netflix helps a LOT. I remember watching Mexican Television shows on Netflix and here are some of the phrases I learnt: - Ahí nos vidrios - Se me cayó el viente - Se me hace que

Tengo setenta años .. soy viejo lol. So back to English so it does not take all day. At 66 I became a serious student of Spanish. I see and experience the forgetting curve daily as I take my morning walk and drill on sections of a 5,000 word vocabulary course to begin my 3 more hours of focused study. . So while I can’t disagree with the basic principles your excellent video provides I think there are several other memory setting techniques that the “Spanish language teaching Industry” misses. I .don’t know the names so I will give them my own names. 1. Daily review of pronunciation fundamentals, that is, the sounds of vowels, diphthongs, and combinations (por ejemplo bra bre bri bro bru). Now see, hear, and feel these sounds as you pronounce all of them as you practice “en voz Alta”. 2. Practice everything out loud and when you can’t recall then get mad and channel that energy into paying better attention to your studies. 3. Spend time each day “studying ahead”. For example find an advanced lesson and challenge yourself to review what you already know and to struggle with what you don’t. Then repeat that lesson the net day and the next until it is no longer a struggle. I could go on but you are the teacher and I the student. Anyone can learn anything. They just have to do whatever it takes. Thank you for all of you great lessons. I am a fan.

02/11/2022 Your explanations are clear and your videos help in learning Spanish. Muchas gracias.

Excellent Excellent!...as usual!! It's a pleasure listening to this teacher present Spanish.

OMG OMG OMG! Literally for 6 weeks I’ve been trying to get THIS EXACT ADVICE. I came across your videos, listening to the whole list as I’m showering(random fact) then I HEAR THE INTRO and literally shout… FU**ing FINALLY!!!!! someone gets it!!!!! Thank you so much for this . Amazing !!!!!

E. L. Thorndike, the father of educational, said that practice makes perfect...and he was so right. Thank you for another excellent lesson in Spanish. Everything that you say is always "spot-on" and correct. To learn a foreign language, mathematics, or anything, the student must realize that there is always a price to be paid...time!

I feel like lots of these mostly I’m a 4, but when it comes to speaking a longer sentence it averages a 3, or the odd words I won’t know to use in the sentence. Reading is easier, because you can visualise and remember what these words mean, but trying to say it in a sentence is the problem as it’s a 3. Understanding fast spoken Spanish is the hardest as it’s the 2nd quickest lang and words can be blurbed even though I recognise them I cannot pic how they’re spelt.

Hmmm you really sold this im convinced😊

Your enthusiasm is contagious. Can't get enough. Thankyou sooo much. Repetition, repetition and keep watching your videos.

This is really an excellent video, it gave me the straight up idea how to work strategically on my loose strings. ¡Gracias!

I love your videos!! They're super helpful! I was wondering if you could make a video on "por vs para"? That's something I've been struggling with and if anyone can help me understand it it's you!! Thank you!!

Such a great teacher! Thank you

Thank you for your hard work. It shows!

What an excellent video. Thank you so much. 👍

What a great lesson! I’m going to take your advice as of today. Muchas gracias !

very helpful advise thank you.

Great information thankyou

Excellent lesson - thank you.

Super helpful to see the spaced repetition across a while -- this is excellent. I've seen "spaced repetition" a zillion times without fully understanding how often I needed to "check on it" to make sure it stays in my memory.

Very clear explanation, thanks

Wondering why you used the imperfect ‘tenía’ with ayer instead of the pretérito in the first example?

Es genial, gracias, muy util.

Thank you very much for your awsome videos🤗 I am a non-native English speaker ( Actually I didn't have to speak so far, I can not speak well most likely) your viseos improve not only my Spanish but also my English. 😊😊🌸🌸

What an excellent video!! Thank you so much!

Thanks, that was really helpful!

You're a good teacher

These videos are great. Subscribed.

Easy to follow your presentation.

Excellent Andrew

Very helpful. Thank you. At 5:19, the caption says "Ayer me dijo que tenia ir al banco," omitting the "que" between "tenia" and "ir" although you say it correctly. Not nice to confuse students!

REQUEST: It is good to see you making new youtube content. You have a few really good videos but I would like to see more. As a suggestion for I topic I would like to see a video on a complete listing of all the conjugations of the verb haber including the indicative mood present, preterate, imperfect, future, and conditional tenses. In addition the two subjunctive mood congugations present and past. That would make a total of 7 charts. With each of the seven charts and congugations it would be nice to include what compound tense the conjugation is used for. For example present conjugation of haber is for "present perfect tense" Thanks, and this is just a suggestion keep those videos coming you are doing great.

Super video. Muchas gracias 🙏

Gracias por su buen presentación.

Great channel. Tu eres uno maestro bueno. Gracias por Clases ( because of!?)

Your channel is criminally under subscribed

Hi, it's been a ive came across you videos . Really finding it helpful and interesting in the way you go about teaching. I really need to crack the conversation 😩 so keep the great videos coming please. Are you on twitter ?

At 5:19 minutes in, you're missing a "que" in the phrase "Ayer me dijo que tenIa QUE ir al banco."

Make more viddeeeooos

I find your advice very helpful and applicable. I have been keeping your tips through the newsletters. I tried visiting your page to register for a class. I don't know how can I determine which level do I belong? I had been doing self-study with Spanish. Do you have any admission test to identify who qualifies for a levels 1, 2, or 3?

Muy bien, tengo que ver más de tus videos. Mi nivel de "tengo que" es 5 pero, me doy cuenta de que tengo que hacer más trabajar con las otras frases.

Oh I like that graph. Got some confidence in continuing my learning of Spanish. Thanks!

At 5:20 there is a graphic on the screen with a word missing.

Remembering my vocabulary is my main problem. I cant remember the new VOCABULARY I learn and it makes learning very frustrating. Any tips on how I CAN improve my memory ?

The point of this video was good, but now I am confused now by the use of the phrase "tengo que"...I thought the verb tener (tengo) was normally used for describing possession (i.e. I have something....) whereas the verb haber is used to say I have to do something. I will have to search for your video on the topic of tener vs. haber.

I'm learning Spanish and was confused by two things. At 5:18 your graphic is missing "que" "...tenía que ir..." but you say it correctly. Also, why is it "tenía que" instead of "tuvo que"? His going to the bank does not seem like a habitual or ongoing action. It seems like an action that was completed yesterday. Does "ayer" invoke the time and date use of the imperfect tense or is there another reason to use the imperfect tense?

I used to teach, and would suggest to my fellow instructors that the best way to master you subject was to teach it. Repetition of a thought.

Wow

cuando sacaras uno nuevo

De todos ellos

Question: Why literally use "I cannot to find this" in Spanish like "No puedo encontrar este" instead of "No puedo encontro este"?

A general comment for you (positive) Your videos are not too long. There is a very, distractingly, pretty female Spanish utuber who tends to pick a subject and the explanations are too long to maintain full attention! Yours are bite size so you embark on them in the first place, and continue with full concentration to the end. Excellent stuff….

I like to memorize longer sentences that can be used in a wide variety of situations, and practice saying them quickly to myself, until it all just flows naturally, for example: "Todo lo que puedo hacer en estas situaciones es reírme."

This is not a Spanish lesson! How lovely it would be to find language instruction videos that omit redundant explanations of the obvious, and avoid falling back on cliché mechanistic inapplicable breakdowns of how memory works or doesn't work, and instead would simply stick to precise, concrete expanations of how the target language functions, trusting that the student will pay attention and catch on. This is a rant, yes.

The teacher is very fast.

5:18 Why is it “tenía ir” instead of “tenía que ir” here? Is the latter wrong? Or maybe you just drop “que” to avoid too many “que” in the same sentence, while still making sense? Edit: Sounds like you said the 2nd “que” out loud, anyway 😅

it do take nerve to flatten the (memory) curve!

Please consider having NO background music - my brain is struggling to hear the sounds of a new language while subtracting the sounds of the music

tenia que ir al banco?

Please stop background music it diverts from attention.

Amazing...trying to learn something with that damned music in the background. TURN THE MUSIC OFF.

Sweetie pie, spanish is so much closer to French than English .... Why are you teaching this? Spanish is a latin language like French and not at all a germanic language.... I find it so funny when you mentioned spanish is like English..... baby...

too much blah blah blah in english

I really hate phrases. Why can't we just translate word to word and make same sentences in Spanish? Surprisingly Spanish have a ton of phrases like these and it's inevitable. If someone says a phrase and you never heard of it, you will get a completely different meaning.
