I feel myself like a little girl who just started to speak and I enjoy every second of it. Thank you Paul, you are the best teacher I 've ever had in my life. Me siento como una niña que acaba de empezar a hablar y disfruto cada segundo de eso. Gracias Paul, eres el mejor maestro que he tenido en mi vida. :-) xx
He estado viendo su video por mucho tiempo y he aprendido nuevo palabara todo los dias. Ahora, estoy mejorando mucho que antes. Tambien, ahora sé como hacer una oración y hablar. Pero yo necesito tiempo para hablar rapido.
Awesome, thanks! The word "confide" in English definitely comes from "confiar," though the usage is a bit different. Might be an easy way to remember this word for some people.
LEARN ENGLISH WITH JOJO The old Occitan language comprised South of France and affected lately almost Spain peninsule + Portugal. It was derivated from the faith concept. The word was "fe". The verb, "fisar". Then... fee, faith, fiancée, our "fianza", our "fé", fidelity... adding at some of point of the history the prefix "con".
Confío en Paul y confío en la policia. Para la democracia es importante, actualmente es necesario, que la gente confía en la policia y en el gobernador. Gracias por la leccion!
Hi Paul. I am trying to learn Spanish. I just found out that my father is half Bolivian. His mother is from Bolivia. And I am so excited of finding out I too, is half Bolivian. I want to learn Spanish. I am 35 years old. My only fear is, will learning be harder since I am older? 😩
This is great but is there any printed version of this? I can only find printed material for the 10 part mini course (which is also fantastico!) I can’t believe how easily I’m learning this!
Not sure why confío would need an accent since the stress is on the penultimate syllable, which is the default position for the stress normally. Same with María. Is it because "io" or "ia", as diphthongs, are not considered to be 2 syllables by default, and the accent makes it clear ?
"Tú" is a subject pronoun and can never follow a preposition such as "en." For that, you need the object pronoun: "ti" Saying "en tú" would be as wrong as saying "in I" in English.
That was great but I was hoping you would cover how to say: 'I don't trust myself' because I don't trust myself to construct a sentence correctly in Spanish ...lol
Fiarse is related to circunstances. Confiar is the overall balance about trust that you have on someone. Example. Women... "sometimes" tell lies about their age. If a woman lies and tells you her age is 40 y.o. but you... doubt it HEAVILY... It means "tú no te fías" about what she said to you. You don't trust on her answer. It doesn't mean she couldn't be a trustable person. Who knows. If you trust on a woman, friend of yours, and lies always about her age... Tú confías en ella... but "no te fías de ella" when she tells you her age. You confías on her but you don't "te fías de ella" in terms of age. Children always promising nevermore they will do something... and again they do. You confías on your children... while sometimes... you don't "te fías" on them (de ellos). Overall vs circunstances.
What a detailed and excellent explanation. I teach English to Spanish-speakers (nomás :) ) and I appreciate the time you took to respond so fully. Thank you!!!
kennybev Yes, but in a few circunstances. It is about custody. Scenario. You got 2 children. You got 1 sister. You go to your sister's home and ask her about the possibility to let her to take your 2 sons for a weekend. She say yes. As an affirmative phrase, you can say to her: - Te confío a mis hijos. It's a way to give something/someone in custody. Can be temporary or not. Someone who is dying tells you: - Te confío a mis hijos, take care of them. He gives you in custody his sons and hopes you must to take care of them.
