My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
Thank you so much Kate! I hope that you continue to watch and share your favorite videos as you continue to get better. You can actually donate through Paypal without actually having an account.
You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me
Hello Doctor, just started watching your vids today and they have been brilliant, I typed in to see how many lessons you have and it's 25, I hope to be back to you in a month in terms of my progress
Hey Philip! Thanks for the kinds words. You saw that I have 25 videos? Was that on my channel or the AIB RU-vid channel? Here on my channel I have over 50 lessons and a new one comes out every Sunday morning. Just curious where you're watching.
In my language (Tagalog) carne is karne, we call steak bistek Tagalog, Quezo is keso..La patata is patatas..Las frutas ,prutas, La manzana is mansanas , La uva is ubas , tomar is toma (mainly slang used in drinking alcohol).
Another great lesson, not sure how I overlooked this one previously but glad to have seen it now, thankyou. I have advised my mother-in-law to start watching The Language Tutor as she has moved to Gran Canaria and is trying to learn the language. Let's hope she stays with it.
Thank you for the food vocab. Will you be extending this lesson to include specifics around ordering e.g. can I have... is this vegetarian....do you have....or can I make a reservation etc? Thanks!
You may want to help us to actually learn the usage of those words by providing simple sentences rather than simply reading off a vocab list. No one is gonna remember/learn anything that way. And please, at least a summary of the words introduced would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
By the way el agua is not masculine, it is feminine but it uses el and un because it starts with a stressed a sound. So it would be: ‘el agua fría’ but it would also be ‘las aguas frías’.
I have just watched lesson 22 and am confused by the way you appear to pronounce the v,s my understanding is they sound like a soft b, but that is not what i am hearing can you clarify please?
Doctor B. is using North American/Mexican pronunciation. In European Spanish the V is pronounced like a B but in Na/Mexican as a V. Also, NA Mexican pronounce the C as a hard letter (like an S) but in European Spanish it is generally pronounced as soft "th".
The Filipino language has a lot of names of food taken from Spanish language. The difference is that the we take the plural form. Example: For the grape (SINGULAR), we say UBAS (from the word uva) For the lettuce, we say LITSUGAS (from the word lechuga)
Hi all, just a note: Agua is not masculine, is femenine, but we use "El" to avoid the bad sound called "cacofonia" Plural for "agua" is "las aguas" as you can see now it takes it femenine form
The headline of the video is “how to order the food” but the video itself is just about the words and there weren’t even a construction about how to exactly order like “I would like to”, “can I have a bill” and so on …
We can see that in spanish they say "the something" Not "a something" As if it were in English For instance: La potata (not una potata) - a potato El ajo (not un ajo) - a garlic Or did I get it wrong?
Hi Mr Evans. I really learn a lot from your videos and appreciate your work. I have a question. I am confused sometimes - for example « La Cena « translates to dinner but not to « the dinner » I have seen this quite often with other nouns. How do we know when add « el « or « La » before a noun.
Hi Doctor ivan i am a Alvin Cugal from the Philippines and cudrently studying Spanish Language in one of the Learning center school here in the Philippines. I am on my 1st Level on my Spanish class and we have 3 level to finish the spanish. I always watch your video and i have learn so much from. I just want to thank you and it helps me a lot. Can you help me more on providing me a complete videos from your end. Thank you so much in advance.
Buenos dias Dr. Evans, I have noticed that in minute 2:2i you start explaining about Tomar = to drink I have always heard Algo DE tomar? and you say it with out the DE, which one is correct?
11:19 I was told that agua is a feminine word but because it starts with “a” we write el agua and not la agua. So we write mucha agua and not mucho agua. Right?
My Babbel app says you should say, “Voy a querer un café” or “Voy a pedir une café” (or whatever you are ordering). Apparently it’s rude if you don’t start with “Voy a...”
Because it’s not a direct translation. It’s a figure of speech. If you translate break a leg into another language it might not be understood as good luck, for example.
