Spanish teacher reacts to celebrities speaking Spanish: Gwyneth Paltrow 

For me, as a Spanish native speaker, she has a perfect Spanish accent. Really really accurate. Only I realize she's not a Spanish woman because she has errors in grammar

Wow, as a spanish native speaker her Spanish is great!!! She is fluent, and her accent is from Spain .. she can pass a native Spanish speaker.. really few errors but her accent is just unbelievable

I feel like she's so relaxed because she's talked A LOT of Spanish so she can let it flow a bit even if there are small errors. The more you speak, the more phrases stick (I think) and due to this extensive practice, she's able to relax, think and express herself very well. In speaking a language, with all the many grammatical rules (and Spanish is filled to the brim with them), it is so very difficult to speak freely and match, for instance, experiencia profunda. It is a struggle. I definitely want to check some of your other videos. Te agradezco mucho por el video.

I think she spoke great Spanish and spoke it formally.

Subscribed specifically for more of this series. I personally don't care much if it's celebrities or not but I found it fun to try and follow along and think learning from others mistakes will be useful.

Thank you , this is brilliant. So helpful

Extremely valuable, great video

Spanish is my first language and it amazes me how much that makes a difference. I can spot the mistakes immediately. I speak English so much better than Spanish now and I would still not make those mistakes. You are really ahead of the game when you learn a language as a child. Begin teaching your kids early and that makes the difference.

Subscribed, super helpful, I make all these same errors and it's great that you break each one down and explain.

Estudio español por dos meses :-) me encanta su canal y me ayuda muchísimo :-) me encanta su acento también :-). Pienso que necesito probar tu clase en línea.

Very helpful video! I think this format really helps us learn. I would be interested to hear more about how to use "a" because I've heard phrases like "a ver" which use a with infinitive. But I know you can't cover everything in a short video! I think the most important thing is that Gwyneth is comfortable expressing complex thoughts/concepts so she can have a natural conversation, and as long as the meaning is clear, her conversation partner will most likely forgive or ignore the mistakes.

Way beyond my Spanish level but love the content and the teacher's kind manner.

I think she did really good speaking Spanish. She may have said a couple of words but you definitely can understand what she was saying!!!!

Elle est parfaite! Elle parle aussi bien Anglais, Espagnol et Français !

About two years ago Superholly did a very similar video.

No se si eres nacido en un pais hispanohablante o americano, pero muchas felicidades tu English y Español se oyen super bien👏👏

Como nativo hablante de español, yo entiendo que decir :" para ir a España a estudiar español" está correcto. Del mismomodo, "para ir a España para estudiar español tambien suena bien, aunque no me gusta la repetición de 'para'.

La primera vez que la vi hablando español estuve tan sorprendida pq ella suena prácticamente como Española. Pero después de aprender el idioma, puedo ver que ella no ha aprendido subjuntivo (como usa el indicativo en cada entrevista). Pero eso está bien pq tiene gran fluidez con el vocabulario y pasados que sabe, y yo creo eso es lo que cuenta. Subjuntivo aún me molesta :/

Hi! could the combination of irse + a un lugar also mean “i’m leaving FOR london” for example ... or would one have to use para instead of a ?

Una opinión mía es que utilizó el pretérito perfecto compuesto 'ha dicho' porque no se acordó en ese momento de la conjugación del verbo decir en el pretérito perfecto simple 'dijo', que creo que tendría más sentido puesto que se trata de un pasado no cercano en el tiempo.

Good point at the end on the problem with extremely proficient learners dragging mistakes 🤦🏻‍♀️ because no one corrects them anymore, haha now just imagine being a wealthy celebrity 😵Few would have the courage !

wow having a Castilian accent really does help you show that you know spanish, without knowing the grammer and everything

But it would be nos ha dicho the correct it’s nos dijo. Because this is from so many years ago.

No sé si es un tema de la variedad de español que usted habla, pero en España lo más normal es decir "una oportunidad de" y no tanto "una oportunidad para". Una oportunidad para sencillamente suena raro en español peninsular.

Hey here's a suggestion that i don't thinks any language teachers have ventured into, can we see a reaction video about a native speaker that doesn't necessarily use the right grammar..more or less? It would be good to have a bar to aim for..not that we should aim for allowing mistakes in our speech. But i think you know what I mean. Sometimes the idea i perfection can interfere with triumph.

Question, what about when one says "nos había dicho" because it's in the past. Not present past. I would think if the teacher had just said something to us and someone asked what she said, then one could say "la maestra nos ha dicho que..." But if I'm relaying something that was said much longer ago then one would sai "la maestra nos había dicho que..." Or this not correct? Because this is how I've always understood it to be.

Great! Do you teach?

will the freddie highmore one be re-uploaded after edits?…

'Tener la oportunidad de' me parece más apropiado.

Carlos, may I correct the teacher? We don’t say “accorded” but rather “agree”. Adjectives agree in number and gender with the nouns that they modify, for example. Maybe accorded is a Britishidm. Not sure. But to my American ears, accorded is a bit odd and clumsy. Great vid and channel. Enjoyable!

Can I ask a rookie question please? Why did she not say "la maestra nos dijo" instead of "la maestra nos han dicho " ? Thanks very much in advance

. La profesora nos ha dicho? No sé de qué manera estas analizando esto pero está mal dicho con el ha y el han porque ella está hablando en tiempo pasado, con lo cual lo correcto es la profesora nos dijo. La profesora nos ha dicho es una expresión que usamos cuando hace muy poco que sucede ,ella habla de muchos años atrás

Gracias profesor Carlos we understand in Spain but mistakes jaja like she try , but don´t be Spanish no no no la profesora nos han dicho, 😭 NO es ; la profesora nos dijo... la lengua NO es dioma jajaja práctico en España , es tengo actividades ,,, no es hablar o charlas jajaj cuidado se nota no hablan español a diario jajaja

I'm a native from Spain and sorry for correcting you but being a native speaker doesn't always mean one's grammar is gonna be always 100% correct specially if you're Latin-American as you didn't pronounce "gracias" like she did. When she was talking about her teacher in the past and she said "Nos han dicho" not only did she speak in plural instead of in singular saying "Nos ha dicho" but even if she'd said "Nos ha dicho" she would've been also WRONG cos in spanish the "Preterito perfecto compuesto" which is "I have+the participle verb form is not used in the far past only in the immediate one like things that have happened within a day so using I have+participle when talking about simply yesterday is absolutely wrong, even in english the simple past is often used to also talk about daily present and past events instead of the compound one with have like in spanish, it's not wrong though what is wrong is using have+participle for things that happened after one day. For example: In Spanish you could say, "I've arrived or I arrived today" whereas in english is more common to use the second option, both are totally correct, what is defenetely and absolutely wrong is "I have arrived yesterday" that's like, mmm, what????? 😕🤔. So that's the mistake she made as she should've said "Nos dijo" or simply "dijo"

She doesn't look relaxed. A bit shy...

who* is an actress not “which is an actress”

Tsk, tsk. Gwyneth is a who, not a which. :) However, to some, she may be a witch. Lol
