La mejor RU-vidr española dedicada a la enseñanza de idiomas.Magnifica, simpática, divertida y muy didáctica...y sí ella me lo permite, muy guapa también😊
I'm so glad you have done this video as it tells me I am on the right track. My learning is; 1. a weekly zoom lesson with a native Spanish teacher 2. Most of the TV I watch is in Spanish with English subtitles 3. a grammar book ( which I barely use yet) 4. Nino Bravo !!!!! 5. Spanish with Patry :)
Es una locura el acento que tienes, nunca hubiera pensado que eras española si no hubiera leído la descripción del canal. Hablas el inglés británico (RP) perfecto. Yo estuve un año trabajando en Londres y tengo acento de allí, además soy andaluz así que tengo 2 acentos muy marcados en ambos idiomas 😅 Igualmente eres un ejemplo a seguir para mí, ojalá hablar el inglés tan bien como tú algún día!!
I did Spanish at college (here in the uk) and I miss learning and using languages. I work in a different sector now but my ambition before life beat me down was to study and work in interpretation. Missed calling! But am loving your channel and content - and super bubbly personality!
The most important tip that I wanna share is motivation and belief in yourself, as if you speak 🗣️ sometimes other language's word your parents/etc. May make fun of you or act aggressively on you so try at least not to take their thoughts in mind
I’ve never heard you speak so much English in a video and I enjoy listening you you speak it. think about that. that’s how good your English is. and I heard you tell your husband that is “flawless” so that is nice you have that much confidence in a 2nd language! Por cierto, bonita camiseta.
😂 Flawless? I must have been joking! Thank you so much for this feedback 😊🫶🏻 We all make mistakes in our second languages and that’s ok! It’s how you learn from them is what makes a difference I think. My husband helps me a lot as he makes sure he tells me EVERY SINGLE TIME I make a mistake in English 🤦🏼♀️😂
@@patryruiz. of course you were joking, however I admire your well deserved confidence, the truth is, you probably speak better English than a lot of natives- the funny thing is, one of the only “mistakes” I ever heard you make, and i’m not sure, was an English vowel in Spanish- but you go back and forth so fast I don’t have time to hear any errors. I mentioned before I thought you were native English and learned Spanish as a 2nd language! honest!
Tienes mucha energia y estas divertida. I'm in eeuu and basically need Latino Spanish but you and some others just teach so well that I view your videos. I have recently used HelloTalk and used other apps throughout the virus time. Tandem actually has been the most fruitful and I even visited two buddies from there in Colombia. Being over 70 my brain must be shriveled up. When I was about 20 and resided in Deutschland I felt that I was and still am pretty fluent - although on a basic level. But Spanish seems much more difficult even though most of my neighbors here in Virginia are spanish speaking. Thank you for your unique perspective. BTW I did spend a week in the London are when I was young and only understood some.
Yo que hablo español viendo esto: mmh, mmh, muy interesante. Por cierto señores, no se confundan, están ustedes contemplando belleza española. Lo supe desde el minuto 1 aunque en su primer vídeo que vi hablaba en perfecto inglés.
I didn’t want anybody to miss the info! This Sunday I have a video coming up fully in Spanish for listening comprehension! 😅👍🏻 don’t forget to check it out!
Hi Patry..I love your videos.I have been learning Spanish using most of the methods that you listed but I just want to add Smule as a brilliant way to develop first friends and second fluency. It started when I tried to sing Viva por Ella by Andrea Bocelli on Smule. Yes...I was no superstar but I quickly formed a network of castillian and latin american friends who are helping me with the language. I even found a Spanish tutor who came to stay with us in June. Singing is divertido and Spanish people are generally muy amistosa ! Keep making hermosa videos 😊
I do talk to myself do because there is no one else to talk to. One of the things I have done for years is read in Spanish aloud. Also another thing is look up words in a monolingual Spanish dictionary. Sometimes then you find unfamiliar words in the definition so you look those words and finally you will understand and in case you still don’t understand then as a last resort you can then look up the word in a bilingual dictionary but only as a last resort. Yet sometimes you may still need to see a picture especially in the case of a word that might be the name of a plant or animal. You might get a description with words but still not quite know exactly what plant or animal is being described.
Yo escucho canciones de Espana y latino America. Espanol es una lengua bonita pero yo prefiero el idioma mexicano o colombiano . Muchas gracias desde Grecia 🇬🇷
I would recommend Tandem too for finding a language partner. I spoke with a lot of persons there and I would say it benefited a lot. I have a question, even though I am fluent in Spanish I don’t have an idea about how can I prepare for the DELE C1 exam. If you have any tips that would be helpful. Thanks for all the videos!
Oh, never heard of that one before! Thanks for sharing that! 😅👍🏻 Regarding DELE, I would recommend going for a tutor, there are quite a few DELE preparation books you can use but a tutor to guide you through the exam/s would be ideal 😊
Jajaja es increíble como yt me recomienda como hablar español siendo español siendo sincero esta tía es súper graciosa me descojono sigue así me suscribo, pero te reto a que intentes hablar catalán jeje que te parece este reto?
Cuidado con Hello Talk que a veces encuentras el amor de tu vida sin querer 😂 Mi chico estadounidense y yo somos fans de tu canal. Me encanta tu energía y humor. Aunque nos pasa lo mismo que a vosotros, al final solo hablamos en inglés y él apenas habla español. A ver si este vídeo le anima a ponerse las pilas!
i've been learning spanish for 6 months now and i find i understand it better when i'm reading spanish rather than listening to it. i was just wondering if that's normal while learning spanish?
Im definatly going to start use spanish when I'm talking to myself in daily life. That's such a great idea 😍 By the way, I met my boyfriend on Hellotalk, funny you brought it up 😅
I don´t know about listening study material while cooking - cause I hardly ever do it - but trying to combine learning two different skills at the same time - training strengh or endurance AND the command of a foreign language seems to be kind of self-deception and a waste of time. The golden rule of acquiring a skilll effectively is concentration, as aquiring a foreign language is a trained skill, that requires dedicated time and is not passive knowledge. That's of course my personal view and I admit there may be people who combine that successfully.
I think it all depends on your level. I know quite a few people that go running whilst listening to a Spanish podcast, but I agree, it’s not ideal if you are a beginner, in that case you need full attention 😊
Is memorise best for Spanish Spanish. I worked my way through duoling but it was Latin American and had lots of stupid sentences like the duck is not an apple 😂
Es mejor ver los vídeos en español y con subtítulos en español. Es el mejor ejercicio. De tanto hacerlo va llegar un momento que casi no lees los subtítulos y luego ya no te hacen falta.
Random question: how many different dialects of Spanish are within Spain? is it all homogenized? The whole "lisp" sounds that replace s sounds has thrown me off slightly in the past. Is that everywhere within Spain? Or regional?
I agree, it active listening is what you should be doing but even passively having a radio as a background noise you are training the ear to the new sounds believe it or not 😊
I have various Spanish teachers on most of the day and during sleep. It's very passive, so I suspect I'm learning only a little bit more than nothing. But every once in a while, a word or phrase catches my attention. Then, I switch from background passive to foreground active and then bingo (de vez en cuando) I have the new word or phrase forever. Listening passive helps me to stay in the game of learning. Otherwise, I'd drop out.
I have a “well actually” for you regarding learning in your sleep. While you can’t pick up new vocabulary completely in your sleep, if you familiarize yourself with it before sleeping and then put on something using that vocabulary while you’re sleeping, it helps your brain integrate it so you remember it better when you wake up. They did a study on this, unfortunately for the participants, waking people up at 2 am to test them on vocabulary they’d learned the night before, with one group having practice audios running during their sleep and another group without that. The ones with the practice audios running scored better with a significant enough difference to write a paper on it.
@jmrumble - That's what I will do. Before sleeping, I'll listen and look at the words fully engaged. Then I'll sleep listening to the same words. Sounds like a good plan, man!
@@dsyncnsx7725 el termino latino América incorrecto fue introducido para enseñar a los iberiamericanos qué hacer creer son los latinos cuando eso es falso existen latíno América es iberiamerica nosotros somos iberoamericanos
El inglés deriva del germano por eso se parece los alemánes igual los neerlandéses daneses franceses italianos suecos suizos Austriacos noruegos Islandes aland son germanos tu restos mencionados
You are wonderful but still struggling with "o" in the middle of English words. Some words are spoken as if "o" is "u" or somewhere in between. Month is more like Munth in pronunciation. I caught you with this error at least twice. But you are still awesome.
It is a huge challenge and not everyone has the skills or consistency to do it to be honest. I have seen it, students that in one month go from very basic knowledge of the language to being able to hold a conversation (upper intermediate level). It requires A LOT of hours, almost a complete immersion in the language and a certain type of linguistic prone brain 😅 Not easy at all, but not impossible! However, the more realistic time frame would be 3 to 5 months in my opinion 😊
@@lavishreacts8010 Well, that’s where you play a big part. You don’t need to travel to the country to immerse yourself in the language: change your phone language, read, listen to songs, watch movies/series/news, consume Spanish speaking social media… That, along with translating your day to day vocabulary into Spanish little by little, is a recipe for success! In 3 to 5 months you would have covered most of the vocabulary you’d need to understand and speak the language. At the end of the day, unless you need certain niche vocabulary (such as for a job, for example: medicine), in our day to day we don’t really use as many words as you might think 😅
Realistically it is 3 years of using the language every day. You can learn the words and gain the comprehension, but you need to speak it so that it is internalised.
A good way to improve Spanish comprehension is to watch a very, very sophisticated and intellectual show starring Dra Anna Maria Polo called Caso Cerrado. Surely it is the finest expression of intelligence to ever have or ever will exist. VIVA DRA POLO!!!!!
@@Yuny77 You are just jealous that you cannot afford to dress like Dra Polo. Caso Cerrado is the highest expression of intelligence in The Universe that ever has and ever will exist!!!!!!!!!! Go Dra! Go Dra! Go Dra POLO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
