Me cae mal ver esta clase de comentarios. Cuando veo videos para aprender inglés, nunca me encuentro con comentarios de nativos poniendo cosas como "i'm a native speaker, Lucky y'all learning our lenguaje" o "funny how hard for you is to learn our lenguaje"

La agonía, la angustia, la ansiedad, la actualización, la alarma, la astucia, la ausencia, la armonía, la alcoba, la alberca, la acequia... Yes, a logic rule

Entonces porque no es El Avispa?

Se dice, "la ama de casa" :/

@@Mentolado17 its because when you put "el" instead of "la" in femenine words its because the first "A" is the tonic syllable, but in "agonia" or "angustia" the first "A" is not the tonic syllable

@@X_carlos209_X Really good point, I didn’t think about the tonic syllable and now makes sense, y eso que soy español, manda huevos🤣

jajaja yo tambien estoy aqui para ver porque para los gringos es tan dificil español

Jajaja estanos igual

@@lookatthehottest104 Es por que el Español tiene muchas cosas mas que el Inglés. Te pasaría lo mismo si estudiaras un idioma con mas propiedades que el tuyo.

You must be super smart. Are you a doctor, lawyer, engineer etc?

Cool! I have been trying to learn Spanish for a while and ever since I hear the Argentinian accent it has been my favorite accent

@@jacobcawse616 Hahaha I'm Argentinian myself, cool you like it friend.

No tienes porqué temer, si no hablas muy bien el español si alguien se ríe no te lo tomes personal.

I want to learn English

This is exacly what happens to me with American people haha. I freeze!

Tengo miedo, tengo sueño, tengo frío, tengo calor, tengo sed, tengo hambre. These are the only feelings that you use tener for. Otherwise you’re saying I have much nervous, as opposed to I have much fear, or I have much hunger. It doesn’t make sense 😂😂. Just say estoy muy nervioso. ¡Buena suerte amigo! Hope this helps

Me pongo nervioso/* Mucho amor desde Australia*

En el ejemplo de la novela está usado exageradamente, pero en ciertas partes de Argentina se usa como pronunciación normal.

I'm a native spanish speaker and you're right. English is clearly easier than Spanish because of the verbs. Anyways don't give up ¡Tu puedes!

From my personal experience learning English (I am C2), you’ll eventually forget grammar and just know what to say. You just have to expose to native content *every day*, textbooks won’t prepare you for real life speech, and becoming fluent is not something that can be achieved quickly. It is a very long process, but if you have a genuine interest on learning Spanish (really any language) you’ll for sure be able to pull through (that might have sounded stiff idk)

​@@mau3328 @Izlan Sulaiman I agree. I think Spanish courses are taught too "rotely," so to speak. They can be rigid, unrealistic, and even punishing at times. A lot of people just can't learn that way. Personally, I don't think that studying is completely useless. I took two years of Spanish in high school, then two in college. I think that textbooks, studying, and memorizing conjugations can be helpful for setting a foundation of understanding. I actually really enjoyed learning that way at first, but I know that I'm an especially analytical person, and it just doesn't make sense for other people. Eventually, I think everyone has to move on from that mode of learning. I have returned to regular practice over the last six months and added in a number of Spanish language podcasts, KZfaqrs, and I even started watching La Casa de Papel. I'm proud to say that for the first time in my life, I can read and listen to Spanish and intuitively understand the meaning without having to think about conjugations. It takes practice to build the intuitive connection between a verb conjugation and its meaning. Learning from real world examples helps build that connection faster because real world examples have context. You don't have to stop and think about "3rd-person-singular imperfect ir-ending verb conjugations" while listening to a podcast about K’iche’ mythology, because you already have all the context you need to understand "Quetzal se convertía en un ave con plumas verdes y brillantes." Every time you intuitively understand a conjugation, without fixating on it, and then continue following along with the story, it strengthens that intuitive connection. I think it does so in a way that is much more impactful and lasting than doing flash cards or writing out conjugation tables from memory for hours on end. P.S for Izlan Sulaiman and anyone else learning Spanish: Wiktionary has been an indispensable resource for me and I would recommend it to anyone who values an analytical approach to learning Spanish verbs. Conversely, Reverso has been great for that intuitive mode of learning. Whether you use it as a browser extension or as an application minimized to the system tray, it lets you select some Spanish text, hit a hotkey, and fetches a list of real world examples from the Internet. It works with vocab words, verb conjugations, and even whole phrases. You can quickly learn a ton about the ways Spanish gets used in non-academic settings. Duolingo probably isn't going to teach you how to say "descargue la aplicación para instalarla en su móvil Android." Well, it might, but only by reading its listing in the the app store with your phone's UI set to Spanish lol

I feel like we mostly use the simple present, the past imperfect, simple past, and simple future. But I may be wrong.

You don't have to actually memorize a lot of verb conjugations, we use "algorithms" to basically conjugate any verb with any pronoun and tense that's something you learn in primary school, for example if you say "yo tengo" or "yo siento" the n and the o, are indicating present tense also indicate the pronoun I, if you say "ella tuvo" y "él supo" the letter O by itself is indicating simple past tense, it's similar to english when you transform any word to a verb using "ing" at the end that's a mechanism to transform a word into a verb.

yo tengo dos idiomas materno, español y ingles pero como soy Estado Unidense con tiempo voy pierdendo el idioma porque mucho de los hispanohablantes con el que creci se han fuido de mi area me da verguenza ser incapaz de hablar el idioma que usi para dicir mis primeras palabras

Good point

Is not buddy!

'Gringos' don't think it is nice when 'pochos' or "lavaperros' call them that.... Does that make sense? Or should we all try to just be a little more respectful to one another? If I wrote your words and exchanged 'gringo' and 'Spanish' with 'pocho' and 'English', people would rightly be offended. We can do better than that.

Te parece lindo que otros intenten aprender español? yo trato de aprender inglés y nunca escuché a alguien decir que le parece lindo que aprendan inglés es más los anglosajones se molestan cuando no hablas bien su inglés y quieren que te expreses bien en su idioma.

@@Bertopk A mi nunca me pasó, pero es cuestión de práctica, debes tener cuidado con quien te juntas, quizá las personas con las que hablaste eran racistas o xenofobos, o simplemente muy impacientes.

It also depends on if things are subjunctive and objective for positioning the adjectives. True and concrete facts or based on opinions.

It is a common mistake that not well educated (and a few educated) people make.

Actually is a pretty phrase. BTW is hard to understand some Chileans hehe

I remember reading that phrase alongside “Me agradezco...” “Me lastima...” in one of my textbooks

Me basta y me sobra jeje, incluso para nosotros los hispanohablantes de América o España, el acento chileno es muy muy dificil de entender, por que hablan muy rápido y quitan palabras

@@joseemiliocoloradomedrano2396 no, it's the position of the pronouns like me, te, la, lo, etc in sentences.

He told me what he told you. At least in writing, sometimes there will be additional info for clarification/context.

He/she told me what he/she told you, spanish can be quite difficult, you just gotta practice! Now the they it's written is incorrect : the correct word is "dijo" instead of "dijó" the accent turns the word into a non existent word in spanish because it would have to be read with stress in the end so when speaking, it would sound totally off

Congrats! 😄 I haven't gone back to complete more crowns before I had already completed the Spanish Duolingo tree before crowns existed.

A rule I just thought after thinking over it that could help you guys to figure out when the mix of those sounds at the end of a word and at the beginning of the next one is ok, is that when the second word is larger than 2 syllables, its ok (la altura, la amiga, la armadura, la apariencia) so words like "El Ala, El alma, El Agua, El Arpa" are treated as masculine, until you pluralize them "Las alas, Las almas, Las Aguas, Las Arpas". I think it Fits with at least, most of the cases.

@@ivanlopez7665 You’re definitely on the right track. Replacing the “la” with “el” is for phonetic purposes and is intended to separate the “a” in “la”from the “a”in agua, for example. However the rule is actually based on stress. This is why we have el águila following the same rules as el agua y la habitación following a different pattern. When a feminine word starts with a stressed “a,” it takes the masculine article. In agua and águila, the first syllable is stressed, so they take the article “el.” In contrast, the last syllable of habitación takes the stress, so it keeps the article “la.”

En qué gramática dice que "dijistes" "hablastes" "corristes" es correcto?

@@susanaorellano2942 if you use voseo, which the conjugation is basically the modern form of "vosotros" minus -i-. pensáis -› pensás podéis -› podés dijisteis -› dijistes hablasteis -› hablastes corristeis -› corristes

@@xolang Es absolutamente incorrecto lo que afirmás. Reitero que me aportes la fuente donde pueda corroborar esta novedad.

@@xolang Y el voseo no es moderno. Es la forma de español usual en el siglo XVI que desapareció en España, Lima y Nuevo México, las grandes metrópolis y permaneció en regiones más aisladas como el Río de la Plata.

Y pensar que ellos se burlan de nosotros cuando intentamos hablar inglés, si supieras que ellos consideran al idioma español como la lengua de los pobres.

Its not common to use aquella

Experience tells me otherwise. Many Spanish-speakers don’t expect gringos to be able to speak Spanish, so they’re often listening for and expecting English when you speak to them.

Korean : Oh what a cute thing

¡Gracias, Ryan! 🙏🏻 -Jim

Thanks for sharing where you’re at! I highly recommend getting a tutor, possibly to prepare you for a DELE exam. This would be a great way to fill in any grammatical holes you might have, and to improve your speaking and writing. Baselang is a fantastic resource for those.

Yes, some people do, and both are correct. "El empleo de ser o estar (ser casado o estar casado) depende de la intención del hablante y del contexto en que habla." www.hispanoteca.eu/Foro/ARCHIVO-Foro/Casado-ser%20o%20estar.htm

Error. En Argentina decimos "soy casado o casada". "Estoy casado"podría utilizarse para aclarar una situación nueva. Por ej." No puedo salir con vos porque estoy casada ahora".
