That's not embarrassing. That's a power move.

Be careful, though. "I like you" would be translated as "Me caes bien" if you want to say you like spending time with someone as a friend. If you say "Me gustas" people might think you like them in a romantic way.

From a native Spanish speaker pov now I understand why a lot of foreigners get confused and use the wrong nouns… this language is crazy I would never in my life dare to learn Spanish if it wasn’t my native language😂 so props to you

La misma confusión tenemos cuando empezamos a aprender inglés.

As a native Spanish-speaking person, if you say: "te GUSTO" it's "you like me" but if you say "te GUSTÓ" it's "you liked it". A lot of Spanish words have different meanings depending on the accent. Be careful next time!

Me encanta cuando alguien que habla inglés se interesa tanto por el español 😂 sobre todo cuando explotan por las conjugaciones

Your pronunciation is actually pretty spot on though, don't worry about those details because Im sure we make those kind of mistakes too when speaking english

I feel you. When I first learned to say "my heart" was mi corazon, I thought it was mi queorazon. Everybody laughed at me 😂😂😂😂

Los hispanohablantes tenemos el mismo error pero a la inversa jaja

Just listen to the song: "Me gustas tú" and you will remember it forever

I’m a year into learning Spanish everyday thru apps, movies, tv shows, music & real life conversations. My best exp for speaking came at work speaking to Spanish coworkers in Spanish while they speak to me in English. It helped me learn Spanish while they learned English.

En español mexicano, decir que "te gusta alguien" suele interpretarse que te atrae esa persona, no sólo que te agrada de manera amistosa.

be careful because "me gustas" means I like you as in "I'm attracted to you". If you wanna say you like them as a friend or as a person say "me agradas" o "me caes muy bien" (it's like saying you get along so well that they "fit" your personality, which I just realized is such a funny way to tell people you like them 😂)

Pay attention to the stress syllable in "gusto", since it sounds like you're saying "te gustó" instead of "te gusto". Te gustó - You liked it Te gusto - You like me ❤

a lot of people have a problem with this, good video

Your accent is really good! Your "r" 's are AMAZING 💕

Remember to keep your pronounciation of "te gusto" like the first time you said it. Cause the second and the third time you pronounced it in past tense (te gustó) wich means "you liked it" or "did you like it" in the case of it being in a question

After 6 years?! No one corrected you? You need more Spanish speaker people in your life.

Reminds me of when I asked people to bring me something at work I’d say “te puedo” or “puedes me” instead of “me puedes traer”.

You have all the respect from Spanish speakers!!! We always appreciate the effort 😊.

Remember, gustar has two meanings in Spanish. Me gusta (objeto), I like the object. Me gusta (persona), I romantically like the person. To say 'I platonically like this person' you have to say "Me agrada/Me cae bien" And your Spanish sounds so nice! Keep it going, girl 😆👏

As bilingual speaker and having my first language Spanish, i can tell you it is confusing from either language to the other, in a conversation words are backwards from Spanish to English or English to Spanish, but it is so good to see there's more English speaking people learning our language 😊

I’ve been living in Spain for 5 years and i have one and only advice for you when you don’t understand something (works the best for coloquial expressions): be open to native friends so you could ask them in case you need to, it really helped me improve ❤

For say I like you it’s more correct to say me gustas, ❤❤ I love when people are learning my lenguaje!

Me gusta tu entusiasmo por aprender español, porque veo que analizas el contexto y la forma

As a person who has Spanish as a native language, when I was more young, I was also confused with "me gustas" and "te gusto".

When i was learning english i made a friend who was a native english-speaking person (i'm latinamerican), but at some point of the conversation i made this same error and she tought i have so much ego saying that she was surely inlove with me, and i was just trying to say she was a nice person 😭

I’m a Spanish native speaker and trust me when I tell you it happened the same thing to me when I first started learning English lol😂

🤣 i don’t know how you did that but that’s hilarious and I’m grateful you shared this with us 🤣 😭 ❤❤❤❤❤

I really wanna learn this language it’s amazing and everyday I’m putting something on it.lets learn Spanish this year everyone

It's all a matter of context and where you make the inflexions. "La Tilde" does magic.

No te preocupes, nosotros con el esfuerzo es suficiente, si lo hablas mal o te equivocas, nosotros entendemos y es más que suficiente para nosotros mientras entendemos lo que nos quisiste decir ❤

As a native spanish speaker, i struggled with this too when learning english 😭

that's correct, we have the same problem the way around because for us sound rarely impersonal but it's the best way to communicate our feelings. thank you ❤

I'm just beginning and I'm for sure going to keep this in mind. Thank you!

Hahaha as a native spanish speaker I had exactly the same confusion when I was learning English 😂

Me gustas in Spanish isn’t the same as I like you in a friendly way, is used to express that you are attracted to someone.

It’s not embarrassing, I appreciate you show interest for Spanish.

i'd have to end it all, after that realization

Refer to it as gustarse. Because it's better understood as "to be pleasing" rather than "to please." It's not something that it does to you. It's from the perspective of the object but it's still your opinion. Not something the object does to you. For example, someone may be pleasing to you in the sense that you like them, but it requires no effort or even participation on their part. They aren't doing anything to you. It's just your opinion. Think of it, not as pleasing you, but you finding it to _be_ pleasing.

Te entiendo. Yo soy hispanohablante y también me confunde ese tema 😵‍💫. Incluso sabiendo como se dice de forma correcta aún cometo errores de vez en cuando.

Your videos really inspire me. I speak Costa Rican Spanish and it makes me feel really good when natives compliment me on my Spanish. Living here in CR, it makes me feel “part of”. I’m also super hard on myself and watching your videos encourages me but also makes me feel pressure to learn more lol. I’m 35 and want to learn more languages. Currently learning Portuguese now.

I used to have the same problem but in the other way. I am Spanish and at first when I was learning English it was a lil bit confusing fo me to say "I like you" instead of "you like me". As you said, in Spanish "I like you" means "Me gustas" but if you'd traduce it word by word it should be "Yo te gusto a ti", or in a shorter way "Te gusto", that's why it's confusing. It's a fun language concept though xD.

Funny as hell 😂 but yours is definitely some of the best spanish I've heard in a while 😎👌 Take it from a native, you're doing great. 👍

I can’t wait until I have six years of Spanish experience.

This is a reflexive verb. After 40 years of studying Spanish I still trip on those.

Ayyy me encanta ver gente que aprende español! Creo que lo haces genial, sigue así 🎉

To be fair I'm a native Spanish speaker and when I was little I had so much trouble differentiating between "Me gustas" y "Te gusto". Idk why I just couldn't pick the right one like EVER

Ah lo que pasa es que si lo vemos a tu perspectiva en "i like You" también el "You" causa efecto en "I", entonces piensas "te gustó", pero si te fijas bien el "i like the book" el que genera ese gusto es la persona no el libro, es decir, si fuera de ese modo sería "le gustó al libro", capito? Pero no, porque el libro si influye pero no le sale el sentimiento.....so, "i like You", quien influye? You (tu), quien genera el sentimiento? I (yo), por eso es "me gustas"😉👌

I’m only on a month trying to teach myself! I’m a newbie but very excited.

Además de que gustar es una emoción que a nivel de decírselo a una persona tiene otra connotación más romántica, si dices me gustas tanto se entiende de una forma romántica 😅, es mejor decirle me caes tan bien o que agradable eres.

Jajajaja totalmente. Al revés tenemos el mismo problema 🤯

La mejor influencia o ayuda que puedes tener un idioma es conversarlo y practicarlo. Con eso cuando te equivocas las personas que hablan tal idioma te pueden ayudar a corregir lo que está mal dicho, o proporcionarte frases o ideas que necesitas para hablarlo.

Welcome to our confusion also, that's how Hispanics feel when we start learning English. 🤣🤣

One thing that could help you learn spanish it helped me a lot was being raised and had growing up all my life here in Narcontina.

That’s quite lol. Something like that also happened to a Portuguese friend of mine who said “estás guapo” instead of “está guapo”. He ended up saying “you’re handsome” instead of “it’s cool”. We had a good laugh.

In english you can say you like somebody in a romantic or desire way but also if you think that person is ok, you have a good vibe from him. In spanish is always attraction. So, "me caes bien" "me agradas" is the way to go

As a spanish speaker, we suffer with this every time we have to express something with the verb "like". Don't give up

hahahaha funny you say that, because if you flip it, you’ll find out is one common mistake we hispanic people make, in using “like”. learning a new language, can be challenging, but don’t let those small mistakes pull you back -to all the english learners, mis latinos- 😎

Lol..yes..Is kind of confusing..I'm learning English and It is also kind of tricky❤🙏🇨🇦

Haha, don't worry all hispanics struggle a little with this, (mostly like in six grade when we start to talk about relationships) So the conversation traduced is like: *"Did you know you like Laura, no I mean no that that you like her but that she..."* And the other person would be like: *"I get it, don't worry"* So relax other people must understood you.

Curiosamente me pasa lo mismo en inglés 😅, me confunde ese verbo.

Yes it indeed is complicated by letters “te gusto” can be as u like me but “te gusto?” Can also mean did u like it?

Last caption should be "Dios mío TE gusto tanto"

That reminds me the time i though "molestar" wich would be "bothering" was instead "molesting". So instead of saying "he is bothering me", i went to the teacher and tell her "a dude was molesting me" 😂. I remember her paninc face instead of her angry face and i figured out i might have said something wrong xd

Hola shannon.Tu español es muy bueno.ahora debes aprender chileno.cachai.bendiciones.

I'm learning english and i thought the same thing. I thought "Te gusto" was "I like you" but then i notice that wasn't like that 😭

Same when I was learning english. I thought that because "te amo" was "i love you", I thought "te gusto" was "i like you"

Bastante común con hispanohablantes aprendiendo inglés también. Cuando aprendí inglés de niño me confundía mucho decir "I like you".

No problem! We got it as you guys understand when we make so many mistakes.

Native born speaker here; stopped using it along the way. Re-learning now. I still make those mistakes.

That part with “gustar” happens the same the other way around to Spanish speakers

El sujeto del verbo gustar es el libro, otra persona, un cuadro, etc. y el complemento indirecto es la persona sobre quien recae ese gusto. Es una transformación de "el libro gusta a mí", cambiando "a mi" por "me" y poniéndolo delante del verbo "tú gustas a mí " ="tú me gustas". Quizá lo que confunde es que, en español, "me" nunca es igual que "yo"

Que acento tan bonito tienes en español, lo haces genial 🥰 mucho ánimo para seguir aprendiendo español ☺️

I want to say I'm confident others have pointed it out to you by now, but here are a few things to consider. 1) "Te gusto" with the stress on the "u" means "You like me". When said as a statement, it sounds like you are exerting dominance. 2) "The gustó" with the stress on the "o", means "You liked it". Could be used when referring to an object or a situation; food, the weather, the entire day, etc. 3) More importantly you should and very likely do know that Spanish changes from region to region and some meaning for certain phrases change sometimes slightly others significantly. The reason I say this is that growing up, the word "gustar" has always meant "to like" the same way as in English when referring to an object, or a situation. "Me gusta la comida china" - "I like Chinese food" "Me gustan mucho las rosas" - "I like roses a lot" *BUT* Whenever used toward _someone_, the meaning changes from "liking" to "*liking* liking" at least where I grew up, hence why I brought up the whole region to region. Maybe it isn't true everywhere else, but if you say "Me gustas" to someone, be ready for them to blush or be taken aback. "Me gustas" doesn't just mean "I like you" in the way it would be used in English at least, you're pretty much confessing your romantic feelings toward the person you are saying it to. 4) Here are a few alternatives if you want to convey a feeling of liking someone in a more platonic manner, so to speak. "Me caes bien." - "I like you." (literally "You fall well on me." "Me agradas." - "I like you." "Me simpatizas." - "I like you." It becomes very confusing when trying to make sense of them when translating directly or literally, but think of them as fixed phrases used in Spanish to show feelings of friendliness toward others. In conclusion, we all make embarrassing mistakes when learning a new language, but you aren't the first and won't be the last. Keep it up. ¡Buena suerte!

No one denied it then, rizz master

I totally feel you. I'm a Brazilian who learned Spanish and made the same mistake 😂

Sí, eso es lo complicado de cualquier idioma, que usan distintas formas de expresar lo mismo, algunos usan pocas palabras para algunas cosas y muchas para otras, mientras que otro idioma igualmente lo hace pero con cosas distintas. 6 idiomas diferentes podrían decir: Yo gusto el libro, el libro me gusta, el libro es gustoso para mí, yo tengo mucha gustación por el libro, el libro tiene mucha gustación. Pero a lo mejor usan una forma distinta para otra cosa siguiendo una logica que para los hablantes del idioma tiene sentido pero para los hablantes de otro no, porque tienen formas distintas de ver la vida. Y después estan las excepciones.

I am a Spanish speaker and even I was confused, but I was surprised xd. You speak Spanish very well, keep it up! It is common to avoid, just try to learn from them.

as a native Spanish speaker, this is funny. We're also proud of all the ones who challenge themselves like her and learn❤

As French we have the same problem in english with the word "miss" because the meaning is the same with his french translation but the use is inverted.

Que bonito es estar aprendiendo inglés y pillarte con un canal donde alguien que habla en inglés, está aprendiendo a hablar español :]

Yeah, as a spanish sepaker i had the same problem talking in english

At least you sounded confident.

Siempre me pasa a mi, pero jamás pensé que a alguien le pasara a la inversa.🤭👌 Genial escucharlo.

That's called "stress", it's the way we emphasize how words are pronounced plus the tone + volume + pitch + inttention of what we trying to say. In English i think it's a bit easier than Spanish (aside I'm Chilean) but that's how it works. Mostly because you can say "te gustó" but it doesn't mean the same as "te gusto", in "te gustó" is when you apply past tense in the conjugation of the verb, in this case, the verb is "gustar" and with past tense it goes like "gustó" the main point is to know that "gustó" applies for each pronoun "a él le gustó, a ella le gustó, a ti te gustó, a ellos les gustó, a nosotros nos gustó" but what about "gusto", "gusto" in this case is also a verb, but the main difference with "gusto" is the stress wich goes on the first sillable "gus" so with the tilde (the little stick we use to mark the stress) it would sound gústo, but in this case some words don't have tilde but they have stress. Is not easy, but is not impossible, and as a latina English teacher, I really appreciate your effort and discipline to learn my language ❤ keep going girl! I bet you're gonna be speaking as a native very soon!

Well... When I started learning English I thought "I'm fine" means something like "I'm tired". Now I remember all the conversations I had with other people that had me saying "oh I'm really fine today" and making a tired gesture and people looking at me weird lol

Animo!! lo haces muy bien! Saludos.

As an Spanish speaker I never thought about it! But it's true, it can be really confusing 😂

Theres also this thing about the "to be" verb and adjectives in Spanish. First there's "ser", which is more like to just exist, and then there's "estar" which is more commonly used to also express state. So you gotta be careful when saying something like "im bored" in Spanish since, instead of the more appropriate form "estoy aburrido" you might accidentally say "soy aburrido" ("im boring")

Se nota que has aprendido el español por mucho tiempo, sigue aprendiendo que ya casi lo dominas por completo

OMG YESSS. As a native Spanish speaker when I learned English I struggled with this so baddddd

Also it's difficult for foreigners to find the tonic syllables (the syllable emphasised in the word, you can tell there's always a stronger sounding syllable in the word) in most cases you can easily tell by the "tilde/acento". In this case if you say "te gustó" with a tilde it means "you liked it" whereas "te GUSto" means "you like me"

Que feliz me siento cuando algún extranjero quiere hablar nuestra lengua y más si es gringo ya que es el único país o uno de los pocos países del mundo donde solo se habla 1 lengua mientras que el resto del mundo se habla entre 2 y 3 idiomas muy orgulloso de ti.

I was confussing with I like you and you like me, when I learned english

The way you accentuate “gusto” is more like “gustó” so it would really be understood as the second singular person, past perfect. Something like “You liked that so much”

Yo tuve el mismo error al traducir desde español a inglés, mucho tiempo después caí en cuenta

La acentuación y puntuación son clave para ser entendido.

A little tip the word gusto with out the force at the end is like as a present verb. Gustó with the force at the end is pass tense meaning liked if it makes any sense 😬😁😄. You are doing great. Keep up the good work 💪👏👍❤️

Nos pasa exactamente lo mismo a los hispanohablantes cuando aprendemos inglés "You like me" y "I like you" nos producen terrible confusión
