Hello, dear Arisu! ❤ Your warm, friendly words truly made my day!:) Cat Barsik sends you his deep gratitude! ❤🙏 If you weren't watching, he wouldn't be making his videos :) Of course, I’ll do it.:🙂 Conditionals will definitely require a few videos to make it easier to absorb-our brains process better in smaller chunks than in one big block. I’ve been feeling a bit uneasy because my first video was for total beginners, but the later episodes quickly became more advanced-storytelling naturally requires more complex language.. Some people mentioned they started learning with my videos, even though they’re not really meant for complete beginners.. I thought of lowering the level, but Cat Barsik’s adventures keep pushing me higher:) So, I keep balancing:)) Since each video is created from scratch, it does take some time, but I’ll be happy to choose the topics that are most helpful:) So, conditionals it is 😊 Thank you again for your kind support! ❤🙏 Cat Barsik and Pepe are sending you their warm hugs too! :)❤🐾🐾

Hello, dear Peter! 😊❤ Thank you for your message and interest! ❤🙏 Cat Barsik is currently more focused on his studies and new adventures.😊 In Episode 15, he and Pepe arrived at the Prado Museum to take a closer look at the painting, a reproduction of which was included in the mysterious parcel that Barsik received in Episode 2. Some exciting new discoveries await them there 😊 They’re still at the museum, working on Episode 16, which will be out soon! :) Thank you very much for watching!😊

Oh, ¡qué comentario tan maravilloso! 😊❤ ¡Me ha hecho muy feliz, querido/a Mattacative! ❤❤❤ ¡Muchísimas gracias con todo mi corazón! 🙏 ❤ Y también gracias por ver las historias del gato Barsik y aprender español con él! 🙏❤😊

Hola Clemente Pablo! Barsik is too sad to translate that sentence, so he changed it to 'They are eating sausages,' especially since those are his favorite food: ¡Se están comiendo las salchichas! :)

Estimado señor, ¡me ha alegrado el día! :) ❤ ¡Muchas gracias de todo corazón! 🙏 ❤❤❤ ¡Espero que le gusten los siguientes videos con mis aventuras! :)) 🐾 Barsik

Hello dear Ruusynka! ❤❤❤Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙏 I'm so glad you're enjoying the adventures, and if they make you smile while also helping with grammar, then the goal of these videos has been accomplished! :) Sending lots of love, cat Barsik :)❤❤❤

@@elenaskulova5528 Hello dear Elena!❤❤❤ It’s so nice to hear from you again!:) ❤ Well done, bien hecho! You’ve done a fantastic job- all your answers are correct! There’s just one small correction for sentence number 5: El cielo ___ nublado esta mañana. The sky is cloudy this morning. As we saw in part one of the grammar section: ser is used for permanent characteristics, while estar is for temporary states. Since the sky is only cloudy this morning (it could be sunny later), it’s a temporary state. So, the correct answer is estar: El cielo está nublado esta mañana. Everything else is spot on-congratulations, you’re doing great!:) Wishing you a wonderful weekend! We’re already preparing the next episode with Pepe!🐾 With love, Cat Barsik :)❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾

Hola querida Yolanda! ❤❤❤ ¡Estoy muy feliz si el video te ha sido útil! :) ❤🐾 Muchas gracias por tu gran apoyo, querida!🙏❤¡Escribes muy bien en español! ¡Muy bien hecho! Cuando veo tu nombre, sonrío; es como ver a una buena amiga :) Hay otras personas que también me escriben , y me alegra mucho volver a verlas por aquí, ya las reconozco por sus nombres :)) ¡Gracias de corazón! Ronroneos y abrazos, Barsik 💖🐾🐾🐾

Myau, dear Helena!!! 💖💖💖🐾🐾🐾 Aaawww, what a sweet message! ❤I’m feeling sooo happy, and it’s so touching to be missed!!❤ Pepe and I are still in Madrid, and we've been busy recording our adventures! I’ll let you in on a little secret: Pepe has recently become a huge admirer of the Spanish artist Velázquez. He says that his brushstrokes are pawsome! 🎨🐾 And guess what? I’m even thinking about taking drawing lessons-imagine that, a cat with a paintbrush! 🎨🐾 We’re working hard to bring you the next episodes soon, packed with art, fun, and a little mischief. The grammar section of the videos always takes time and delays the posting, but I hope to tackle it soon.🐾 I can’t wait to share everything with you! ❤ Sending you purrs and head bumps, my dear! :) Have a wonderful day ahead!:) 💖🐾🐾🐾 With love, Cat Barsik 🐾❤

Hello dear Nastya! 😊❤ Thank you so much for watching Cat Barsik and his stories! ❤🙏 I just wanted to take a moment to say that I saw your yoga shorts 😊 Not everyone can perform those beautiful movements on the aerial yoga straps with the same elegance as you do. You’re a true professional in your field, making your students happy and strong! Keep shining!❤

Hello dear Nastya! ❤ This is cat Barsik writing. 🐾🐾 You’re doing amazing! 😊 Thank you for practicing Spanish with me!🙏 I noticed a few little things that could be fixed. Let's brush them up a little together! :) 1. Este ES el gato Barsik (This IS cat Barsik) - Let’s not forget the word "es" here! :) Similar to English, we can’t omit the verb 'to be'. In Spanish, we need to use "es" to say "this is." Like here: This is my book - Este es mi libro (masculine). This is your house - Esta es tu casa (feminine). This is a flower - Esta es una flor (feminine). 2. Él va a comer - Just a tiny fix: "va" instead of "ba." The letters 'v' and 'b' sound very similar in Spanish, so it’s easy to mix them up! :) Also, please don't forget the accent on "Él." Without the accent, "el" means "the," but with the accent, "Él" means "he." For example: "Él es mi amigo." (He is my friend.) "El gato es negro." (The cat is black.) 3. Está en su casa. - Remember, "está" needs an accent too! :) Without it, "esta" means "this" (with stress on the first syllable), but with the accent, "está" means "is" (with the last syllable stressed). In Spanish, this small accent is called a tilde. It indicates the stressed syllable in a word and can even change the meaning. So, the tilde is important! :) Example: "Esta casa está en la Calle de Madrid." (This house is on Madrid Street.) See how the first "esta" means "this" and the second "está" means "is"? The tilde was also briefly explained in Episode 13, at minute 38:51:) It might seem confusing why we use different verbs for "to be" when saying: Este es el gato Barsik (This is cat Barsik) and Él está en su casa (He is at home). In English, we use "is," but in Spanish, we use es and está. The answer is that we have two different verbs in Spanish meaning "to be." - ser and estar. They simply have different uses. These were covered in more detail in episodes 13 and 14, but I won’t overload you with too much new information right now. :) 4. Tengo un paquete - This one is purr-fect! 🎉 Keep going, you’re doing great! ❤ And if you have any more questions, I’m always here to help (and to purr). ❤🐾 With love, Cat Barsik ❤🐾🐾

Muchas gracias por ver las historias del gato Barsik, querida Marie! ❤ ¡Mucha suerte con tu aprendizaje!😊 - Thank you very much for watching the stories of Cat Barsik, dear Marie! ❤ Lots of luck with your learning! 🙂

Hola querida Vika! ❤ This is Barsik writing. 🐾Your kind message made me so happy today!!! 🐾Thank you so much for your lovely words!! Te mando un montón de abrazos y cabezazos! :)) With lots of love!❤❤❤ Cat Barsik 🐾

Thank you so much for your kind comment, dear Elena!! ❤ It is a huge support for Barsik!! 😊Cat lovers understand each other with just a glance 😊 It all started when cat Barsik just had to share his stories, and the Spanish touch added something extra! 😊😊😊

Dear Helena, thank you for watching! 😊 Barsik is sending you lots of love! ❤❤❤😊

Oh, what a joy it is to read such a comment! 😊❤ Dear, Jamoke, you've made my day! :)) 🙏❤ Barsik never even dreamed of joining the ranks of such famous cats! He’s just been sorting through his life’s little twists and turns on RUclips, sharing stories about his friends, what’s been happening, and his musings on it all. :) And he’s been teaching a little Spanish along the way too. :) Thank you very much! ❤😊

Dear Tinatin! ❤Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙏 Every time I publish a new video, I always feel the urge to tweak something later, add a bit here or cut a bit there... So it's really heartwarming to receive comments like yours! ❤ I'm truly glad if my video was helpful!😊

Tiene toda la razón, querida Corala, debemos estar agradecidos a Dios por todas las cosas buenas que tenemos en la vida.. ❤🙏 You're absolutely right, dear Corala, we should be grateful to God for all the good things we have in life.. ❤🙏

¡Oh, qué comentario tan bonito! ❤¡Muchísimas gracias! 🙏 Quería que la gente sintiera calidez en el corazón después de escuchar las historias de Barsik, como si hubieran vuelto a su infancia :)❤ Oh, what a wonderful comment! ❤ Thank you so much!! 🙏 I wanted people to feel warmth in their hearts after listening to Barsik's stories, like they've been transported back to their childhood :) ❤

Dear Angelina, ❤ You are like a kind angel who visits my channel and leaves comments that warm my heart! 🙂Thank you so much! 🙏 I wish you all the best in your language learning journey! ❤😊

Dear Tia, ❤ good day! Thank you very much for your comment! ❤😊 "Un gatito que abre la puerta" literally translates to "A kitty that opens the door." "A kitty opening the door" is also a correct translation. Since it's a more natural and common way to phrase it in English, it was preferred and further explained in the video. I completely understand your desire to translate it word for word, so in this case, we would say "un gatito abriendo la puerta." The word "abriente" means "something that can be opened" in old Spanish, as in "a window that can be opened" - "una ventana abriente" - describing the characteristics of an object. It has become a technical term, no longer in general use. Nowadays, people would say "una ventana que se puede abrir." Thank you very much watching!:) ❤🙏

@@SpanishWithCatBarsik thank you for explaining!! Sorry I'm super new. That makes sense!! Thank you so much for these videos, they're really fun!

@@ThePianoWhisperer Dear Tia, ❤you're most welcome! 😊 It's my pleasure-I’m happy if I could help! Every day, a small step forward will bring you closer to your goal! Thank you so much for your kind comment about my videos. After I post them, I often think that something could have been done differently, but what's done is done. I understand you'd like to use the gerund in Spanish. Let’s go over how to form it together-it’s quite easy!🙂 Start with the infinitive verb: For example, hablar (to speak), comer (to eat), vivir (to live). Then remove the infinitive ending (-ar, -er, -ir): hablar → habl- comer → com- vivir → viv- And finally, add the appropriate gerund ending: For -ar verbs: add -ando. (It repeats the same letter as in the stem of the verb) For example: hablar → hablando (speaking) trabajar → trabajando (working) For -er and -ir verbs: add -iendo. comer → comiendo (eating) vivir → viviendo (living) Here are some more quick examples: Cantar (to sing) → Cantando (singing) Beber (to drink) → Bebiendo (drinking) Escribir (to write) → Escribiendo (writing) And that’s it! It is similar to the "-ing" form in English. Of course, there are several irregular verbs (how could we do without them?😊), but the majority follow this rule. 🙂 Thank you so much for watching!❤🙏😊

Dear Bhagi, ❤ welcome to the channel :) You can’t imagine how happy I am when I get a comment from someone who enjoyed the videos! 😊Wishing you all the best in your learning journey! Thank you so much for watching!❤🙏

You are most welcome dear Hélène! ❤ Thank you for watching! :)

Dear Kai, thank you very much for your kind comment! I'm very glad the video was useful for you! :)

Dear Angelina, thank you very much for your kind comment! ❤❤❤

Dear Angelina, thanks a lot for your kind support in the comments! I read them and I smile. With so many talented and hardworking people on RUclips, luck is definitely needed. I wish you all the best in your language learning journey! ❤

Dear Jin Zhang! Thank you so much for your kind comment, it really means a lot! ❤

Querida Angelina! ¡Muchas gracias por ver mis videos! :) In the near future, there will be more stories told by Barsik the cat! :) Have a great weekend, and I wish you every success in learning Spanish!

It was very interesting!❤

Thank you very much, dear Angelina! I hope the next episodes won't disappoint you either. :) They describe the kind world of cat Barsik: his thoughts, his conclusions, adventures, and everything that happens in his life. In episode 8, you'll learn about his favorite perfume; in episode 7 you'll meet Barsik's friend, Isabel the goat; and in episode 10, his friends Señora Magpie and her son Roberto. And along the way, you'll be learning Spanish grammar. :) Thank you for your kind attention to my channel! It makes me very happy! :)

Dear Angelina! It's totally my pleasure! :) Thank you very much indeed for your kind, supportive comment, and for watching the story of cat Barsik! In the next episodes, I've slightly adjusted the video format and made it more complex linguistically, aiming to add more life and humor to the cartoon. I hope you'll enjoy the upcoming episodes too!:) Thank you very much again! :) ❤

Dear Leslie, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind comment! I am happy you had fun watching the video:)) The episodes will change their structure a bit, focusing more on grammar exercises. I was reluctant to remove the "listen and repeat" section because speaking aloud is very important. By speaking aloud, we help our brains build new neural connections and remember new words and phrases. Many intensive courses are built around memorizing long dialogues at the beginning of each lesson. However, RUclips analytics showed that people generally paid less attention to this, but spent more time on grammar. I hope that the true stories of cat Brasik will make you smile and contribute to your language learning. :) ❤

Dear Abdulrahman Gamal! Heartfelt thanks for your kind words! They provide positive energy and are very valuable! When you release the next episode on the Internet, you don’t know whether people need it..whether they like it or not.. That’s why it’s so valuable to get a comment from a real person! I wanted to create a good story of the friendship and adventures of slightly naive but endlessly kind cat Barsik and the young man Pepe, bringing viewers back to the warm world of childhood.. add a little humor to make you laugh; add vocabulary to boost your knowledge of words and phrases; a fairly large portion of grammar, since this is the basis, knowing which, you yourselves will be able to compose words and sentences; finishing it all with many exercises to consolidate the new material. During the process, I repeatedly changed the video format in different episodes, trying to improve, wanting to make them as effective as possible. Thank you again for your kind support and I wish you every success in learning the language! :)

Dear Max, good day! Thank you so much for your feedback and for helping me view the videos from the perspective of the audience! I initially stretched the subtitles into one line to avoid covering the image, but your suggestion will certainly enhance their readability and make it easier to compare both versions. I do appreciate your advice and I will keep it in mind for the next episode. :) Thanks a lot for your kind words !!

Hello dear Charles! Thank you very much for your comment! Nice to hear from you! You are absolutely right in saying that when we are in the afternoon, it is better to say 'Buenas tardes' -´Good afternoon´. And when it gets dark, we should say ''Buenas noches'' - ''Good night''. And since we have already mentioned the topic, let us keep in mind, that both nouns ''tarde''- 'afternoon'' and ''noche'' - ´night´, are of feminine gender in Spanish, which has an automatic influence on the adjective ''good''. Instead of ''buenos'', as in ''buenos días'', we say ''buenAs tardes'' and ''buenAs noches''. Thank you very much for assisting and attempting to solve the question about the time difference between the caller and the cat Barsik:) I'm trying to improve videos as I can, and this was the first one. The attempt to avoid overloading it, and make it as simple as possible for viewers, may have resulted in some confusion, which I regret. Using "Buenos días" in a dialogue was meant more like a courteous general greeting to start a conversation and wish someone well, similar to saying "Good day!", without focusing very much on the time of day. The effort to keep things as easy as possible, also led to some confusion about the meaning of the phrase 'es tarde' - 'it is late', as a longer and more complex sentence would better explain the meaning and make it clear in context. It could be late in the afternoon. It could also be late to eat. The goal was to show the structure of the Spanish sentence and its resemblance to the English equivalent, 'es tarde' (it is late). Thank you for your attention to my videos! And special thanks for your kind words, they are dear to me!

Estimado Charles, ¡gracias por su comentario! ¡gran trabajo! Excepto que el número 1 significa ´Please¨ = ´Por favor´.:) El objetivo del “Diccionario antiguo” era hacerte sonreír:) transportarle al mundo mágico de la infancia, donde los gatos hablan e incluso escriben algo complejo, como un diccionario. Y cuanto más complejo sea el lenguaje de este diccionario, mejor :) Además, algunas personas experimentan estrés mientras aprenden un idioma extranjero, una trama divertida y absurda les ayudará a relajarse. Se ha comprobado que lo absurdo de las situaciones se retiene más fácilmente en la memoria, y existen métodos de aprendizaje que aprovechan esta característica de nuestro cerebro. Además, ¡amplía tu vocabulario! ¡Ahora ya sabe cómo decir "antiguo Egipto" en Español! ¡Le deseo mucha suerte en sus estudios! ¡Y abrazos del gato Barsik!:)

Hello dear Charles, now I understand your point :). This issue was somehow touched upon in the third episode. The grandfather of cat Barsik is a famous translator and author of several scientific works about Ancient Egypt. This dictionary was written by him. Maybe it's because he's an exceptionally talented cat, or maybe it's because cats were considered sacred in Egypt, but either way, he's become an expert in the field. :) So, this dictionary was just part of the story :) Thank you very much for your comment and interest!

Estimado Eamon, ¡sus palabras son un gran apoyo! ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Abrazos del gato Barsik! :)

Dear David, hello! Well done! Let's brush up on these phrases so you're entirely comfortable with them! 1. Este es Barsik - Este es el gato Barsik - both variants are correct:) 2. Va a comer - correct! 3. Es en su casa - Está en su casa. In this sentence, we talk about location. (Where is he? - He's at home). To make things easy, just remember, that in Spanish, when we want to say that something is located somewhere, we use the verb 'estar', that has the form 'está' when used in the third person singular (he, she) or with the polite form of the pronoun 'You' - 'Usted'. Es - (the one that you used), is the 3rd singular of the verb ´ser´. Both are translated into English as 'to be', although they have different purposes. This is a lengthy topic that demands a video, or several videos, to explain everything in detail. Please pay attention to the accentuation above the final letter 'a' (in está), which is called tilde. If it is lacking, the word changes the meaning, and becomes the feminine demonstrative pronoun 'this'. (Esta es mi casa. - This is my house.) 4. Tengo un paqueta - un paquete 5. ??? - Digame? - It is a polite way of saying 'Hello?' over the phone. When Barsik answers the phone, he says, "¿Digame?" Literally, you may translate it as 'Tell me?' in the polite form 'usted'. On the phone, you may hear the words 'sí?' or 'yes?' as a reply. The word 'Hola!' also can be used.:) 6. Is it mr Barsik - correct! Literally, ´Are you Mr Barsik?´, however, the meaning here is the same. 7. I am Barsik - also correct! By the way, here we use the verb ´ser´, that we spoke about in paragraph 3. In this sentence, we have it here in the 1rst singular (I am). 8. I come right away - correct! :) Well done, David! I wish you the best of luck in studying Spanish!:)

Dear Juan Paulo, thanks a lot for the kind words! Cat Barsik is blushing:)

Thank you so much, dear Tinatin! Your kind comments truly brightened my day! :)

@@SpanishWithCatBarsik I found your channel only today, but I already love it! Going to learn Spanish with you <3

Dear Tinatin, welcome to the channel! The plot begins in the first episode (when the cat Barsik receives a call) and progresses from episode to episode. As our brain builds new neuron connections through repetition and pronunciation of new words aloud, another section was made for this purpose. The grammar portion covers the fundamentals, and the exercises that follow help people use and retain the new material. Of course, the current videos only cover a small percentage of the grammar (it's always tempting to add more, but the videos end up being too overloaded), thus many topics remain to be covered in future episodes:)
