I confess I want to visit Puerto Rico within the next two years to investigate an incident that occured in a countryside area of Trujillo Alto in 1991. There are witnesses who allegedly saw - just after midnight - a large brightly lit object that was hovering over an electricity substation and absorbing electricity from it(!) Some of the witnesses have passed away but others are very miuch alive. I'm glad I came across your channel!
Was lingering around to find some good videos to help me understand the overall structure of Spanish language, and finally found one. I bet this is one of the best Spanish lectures around the globe. None has made me get familiar with this subject, but this one(thumbs up). Thank you so much! Muchas gracias!
I will never understand how youtube algorithm works. With this 19min video i have managed to understand so clearly what has taken me tons of videos hrs on yet the 2 yr old video barely on a 25K views 😢. As articulate as he is surely? Thanks dude, eres mejor.
I love how direct he is. There’s crazy long videos out there but he condenses it into a reasonable time. Unfortunately, I think it might have to do with race. A white guy teaching Spanish vs. Someone who looks Spanish teaching Spanish, who are most people going to flock to first?
Many years ago I had to take some Spanish in college and absolutely hated it. I can’t believe that I’m now trying to learn it on my own and voluntarily watching a video on verb congregation and tenses. Great work Nate!
Kid, you've got it going on! Without a doubt that was the best introduction to Spanish verb conjugation I've ever seen. Wish like hell that's how I had been taught. I'm 72 and have just started learning Spanish. Why? I don't know any Spanish speakers and only once in every dozen blue moons do I go somewhere that Spanish is the primary language; still, I don't have much else to do, so why not. Might as well be learning something. I've been learning from a teacher on iTalki from a native Mexican, but he does like to talk to me a lot in Spanish. Normally I don't understand much of what he says. And that's okay. I'm fine with reading, writing, and speaking (however badly) the language even if I can't understand a native speaker. That, I think, would come in due course. I've also used DuoLingo and Babbel. I dislike Babbel. Once you get to the A2 level, very little Latin American Spanish is offered, even though they promote themselves as teachers of it. They also pronounce things differently and seem to use different words for the same thing. I'm going to take a look at whatever courses you're offering because I now realize I'd rather learn from someone whose first language is English but who is fluent in Spanish. Oh, and BTW, I'm glad you're not teaching 2nd person plural. The US borders on a Latin American country, not Europe, and those are the guys whose pronunciations and diction I'd rather learn.
That was an incredible video. Thank you so much for this 🙏I have watched many videos on conjugation - but I haven't come across one where it was taught in such a succinct manner. You are the best! Making my move to México a lot easier 🙌
Hey Nate! That was so crystal clear that there is no way that I can have any questions. I definitely needed this refresher to help reinforce what I am learning as I push toward taking my Spanish to the next level. Thank you!!! Ya me suscribí 😊
Joven, tú eres muy amable y eres un maestro excelente. Me encantan tus videos. Tengo 55 años y no soy demasiado vieja para aprender español. ¡Muchísimas gracias!
After a year of studying Spanish off duolingo, Pimsleur, RU-vid & language transfer, I finally broke down and bought a HUGE Spanish book of verbs and all the forms. I love it. (still not fully aware of Subjunctive, so I'm looking forward to your video on that! 🤯)
estoy viendo este vídeo porque, aunque ya conozco la información, en la mañana tengo un examen y quiero estudiarlo otra vez 😊 gracias por el excelente vídeo
!Muchas Gracias Nate! I have really found your videos helpful, they address the exact needs I have in learning Spanish. Please continue to make these awesome videos!
Thank you for the great video! I wish vosotros would be covered too, it’s the most confusing conjugation and someone wants to learn castellano will have a big gap in their knowledge.
Hey Nate, Ive been learning Spanish for a few weeks, but I wonder whether you are able to give your perspective of what to learn and in which order, that you think is the most helpful to people who are new to the language Thanks
Hi Miles! Get a basic structure going through the form of a Spanish course or textbook! You can check out my website here :) spanishwithnate.com/ ¡Saludos!
I was never taught the term "informal future" before. I usually decide when to use "ir + a + inifinitivo" formula and the regular future tense conjugations by feel. Do you think people use more futuro imperfecto (formal future?) conjugations in more formal settings, or is there any sort of correspondence to how we use "be going to" and "will" ? Once again, great succinct video!
Hi Calvin! Great question. As you had said, the correspondence is "be going to" and "will". I say use the future tenses just as you would in English. It all comes down to your own preference. Saludos!
I don't know why in English Spanish tenses are translated like that (particularly the past tenses), the original name for The preterite is "Pretérito perfecto" then the other one shown is not Imperfect, it's actually "Pretérito imperfecto". Btw preterit is a fancy sinonym for past. Other than this parentheses that I just made great video
Why is “yo caminado” is wrong and “yo caminé” correct I understand some verbs like “hablar” for instance “I speaked” is wrong but I still don’t get why it is a big deal I have looked at all sorts of literature and it still doesn’t satisfy me when they either say “it’s the Spanish language and not English” or “it doesn’t provide the complete idea or context” when it clearly does like the shortest sentence in the world “Jesus Wept.” It conveys the idea of -ed in the -t suffix I am being critical because it is frustrating when I can see that it could be done and simplify the language but no I have to be given unconvincing arguments I am just asking a critical question is that bad.
Does the "sharp" author of this Spanish video lesson for foreigners and "budding" teacher believe that it is really worth simplifying the learning of verbal conjugation in Spanish... to the point of supposedly saving time, knowledge and skimping his Spanish students in learning the final ending of the 2nd person plural of all the verbs corresponding to the personal pronoun "vosotros"!, in addition to hiding its daily use by almost 46 million Spanish speakers who exist only in Spain?
