This is why the school system fails us spanish speakers. They teach us how to translate it. They teach us how to read Spanish, but translate in English. I love the Spanish language, and I plan to pursue it, but i need to get this issue. Thanks for the video

Hahahah random Im native spanish speaker and I love the english and Im learning with so much things like TV series in this language and watching youtube videos and I don't know dude , I will travel to california later as 10 years so , I would teach you spanish if you teach me english because is still so hard for me everything:((

I make myself read my Bible in Spanish only. It really has forced me to think in Spanish a lot more! It was tough at first, but It has paid of tremendously! I went to a Spanish only Church Sunday, and I understood everything!!! They understood me too! Thank you for such awesome videos and lessons you don't learn in the classroom!!1

i'm like that too unless its a short phrase, like "de nada". i think in time when we learned,it'll get better.

@karimbarakzoy2984 4 года назад

I’m so confused. I thought here And there was aqui alli and something else (sorry about the spelling). How do you learn more natural ways of saying things that they don’t teach in school. I’m in Spanish 2 and we’ve never gone over the use of para also meaning over here when combined with the word for here in Spanish. Also the entire message you wrote had like three words i haven’t learned and I’m worried Spanish 3 won’t cover that all. Are you just using more advanced vocabulary? or do I need to get an app for extra help?

@diamondhudson8552 3 года назад

@Johannes3006 4 года назад

I have taken Spanish my entire life. Including two semesters for my undergraduate degree. For my graduate degree I was taking Latin. And one of the things that the professor said was to think in the language that you're learning. That one concept was probably the advice I needed the entire time.

I'm struggling to get past pausing when I'm speaking, because I am afraid of making a gramatical mistake or get the preterit vs imperfect wrong. My friend told me to forget about it if you make a mistake. Just talk. It's better to talk and make a mistake without pausing, than keep pausing. What do you think? How did you get past that stage?

@shethatstruggles 4 года назад

I’m so happy I found your channel!! I just got back from Puerto Rico and have been completely immersed ever since. I’m to the point of trying to move there but I need to learn Spanish. OAN: why does everyone say he talks to fast when you can literally change the speed on the video with 2-3 taps of a button. Also: do you think you can add Spanish subtitles to your videos instead of just English ? I have been doing one language for audio and the opposite for the subtitles so I think it would help on your videos.

I like qtranslate. Similarly, I like how it gives you similar context clues and alternative words in Spanish if setup correctly. It will really help you expand your vocabulary and see the many alternative ways something you say can be interpreted and vice versa.
