This used to really confuse me. I first learned that "preguntar" is how to say "to ask" in Spanish. But then, I started to see "pedir" used for "to ask". What is going on? Well, in this short video, I explain what’s going on. I give you a quick and easy shortcut for knowing when to use “preguntar” and when to use “pedir”.

Wondering if you might do videos on the conditional and the subjunctive? I’m trying to learn them, but they’re confusing for me! También gracias por todo que tu haces

Subjunctive is terrible! (Conditional endings are pretty easy, so it at least has that going for it.)

Hot damn. What a great ES tidbit this was. In a short video I have oodles of useful information I can use immediately. Puedo usar ahora. Muy útil. So proud to be a Lifetime Member. But I always will consider myself to be a, "Gringo Forever." ¡Órale!

Hola Jordan! Me ha sorprendido un poco que no conocieras la palabra "cantautor/a", ya que tu nivel de castellano es bastante bueno y no es una palabra rara. Es verdad que si no estás hablando de música no se usa, pero es bastante común porque aquí (te hablo desde la Península Ibérica) hay una gran tradición de cantautores. Y bueno, en Mesoamérica y Sudámerica ni te cuento, hay maravillas de cantautores!! Violeta Parra, Mercedes Sosa, Chavela Vargas, Víctor Jara, Silvio Rodríguez... Además, se me ocurre que escuchar sus canciones puede ser muy bueno para ampliar vocabulario una vez que ya se tiene cierto nivel, porque los cantautores saben utilizar muy bien el lenguaje y suelen llevar un acompañamiento musical suave, que deja oír muy bien la letra. Yo quiero ser profe de español para extranjeros y de inglés para españoles, y tus vídeos me resultan SÚPER ÚTILES. Respondes a preguntas muy abstractas que me he hecho a veces a lo largo de mi aprendizaje del inglés (por ejemplo "I ask myself/I wonder", pero como este muchos), o intentando explicarle a alguien el por qué de algo en inglés. Así que muchas gracias por compartir tu sabiduría enseñando 🤗 Que tengas un buen día, majo!!

I think you teach grammar very well because you make it interesting. I hate it when language teachers tell us not to bother learning grammar, not to bother learning vocabulary, don’t look anything up! Don’t write anything down! Just listen, listen, listen and everything will be ok! Then they give the example of how we learn as children but children are helpless and completely immersed usually in one language so it is completely different for adults learning a second language.

"To question" is a synonym for "to inquire". Even in English, "to question a question" doesn't sound right.

Dude, you sound like a robot. The difference between preguntar and pedir is this. Preguntar means to ask a question. Pedir is to beg.
