Solid recomendations. ChatGPT is a must.

Acquisition with listening to comprehensible input.

Use subtitles or no?

I’ve been getting so tripped up on esto/este/esta. Thank you for the excellent explanation. This video should have a million views.

The Language Reactor chrome extension is great.

Dreaming Spanish is just like this but a bit easier.. check it out

Dreaming spanish

Thanks for the video! I'll try this trick out for other reflexive verbs I come across. Thanks for your effort 😊

Agradesco por su ayuda , que sea informaciones muy utiles . Gracias amigo .

Speak speak speak, and make sure your face muscles are activated.

great video man thanks

💐🔥🌹🔥💐

I love these comprehension videos of your's, please keep them coming... The most difficult part of Spanish, the dreaded comprehension!

Thanks very much, I can identify with your challenges. 😊

I learned several languages with the Assimil system and for me it’s the perfect way ❤❤❤

Another great vid, thanks! I saw a similar vid from a native speaker and she made a large distinction between the usage of all of the different options (e.g., whether you became something passively, or actively, or gradually, etc.). ruclips.net/video/5kvGwJYjTto/видео.html You didn't do that. In your experience, do you think they are all more or less equally substitutable? It sure would make life easier, if so! lol. (Oh, and can I correct your English? 'Anyways' isn't a word in English. It's 'Anyway'. (chuckle). Anyway, keep the vids coming...

There's no U in Colo-mbia :)

This helps a lot thanks

I have been waiting for someone to work with songs in Spanish. I did learn some new phrases. I live in Costa Rica.

wow. ive never used chaptGPT before in my life, you may have just convinced me.

Tienes que ver las noticias, cambiar la configuración de tu teléfono y conversar con cualquiera que lo haga en el idioma que estás intentando aprender.

switching it to "i get...." makes so much more sense. especially in sentences like "me puse felíz" or "este te puso triste"

#4 was my big mistake. I still think that learning grammar is important, but comprehensible input is more important.

Thank you for the tips this motivated me. I needed to here this. I have not practiced my Spanish in about a week and I feel like I forgot everything. Now I know I just need to refocus. Thank you. ❤❤

niceee

Thank you

After studying Spanish for 2 1/2 years while living in Spain, trying various learning methods, my biggest frustration has been that virtually none of the instructors or methods taught me how to really listen. It's as if conversations are only one-way ("Learn the top 50 phrases!"). And this is where you get into trouble. You practice what you want to say, you initiate a conversation, but when you get the response which is often somewhat incomprehensible, you become like a deer in the headlights, either because the response is not what you anticipated, the words come at you too fast, the words sound jumbled, the accent is unfamiliar, or all of the above. I'm not suggesting anyone can teach you every possible response. But, you can be given guidance on such things as how to listen to the dialect(s), anticipating run-on words, the two or three most likely responses and key words related to the subject, common idioms, etc. In other words, as the student is establishing a foundation of basic grammar and vocabulary, put the textbook aside and offer preparation for how the language is actually spoken in real conversations, which is often fast and rarely linear. I hate using sports analogies but it's sort of like a quarterback learning to read the defense. One can never know exactly how they'll come at you but you can learn what is most likely and, if nothing else, to expect something unexpected, be ready to adjust accordingly, and stay on your feet.

Great advice, thank you!

It would really help your channel if you were to make the text larger. Much larger. I think most people focus on the talking head portion of these videos when the meat of the learning is your voice and the text displayed. That said I know this is free and I appreciate it. Thank you and do as you please. 😊

Not sure how you ended up in my feed, but liked the video. I like your second point, skip don’t stop, I never really thought it through (although I naturally did/do it). If you get stuck, just keep going and your comfort level with the language continues to grow. At some you “backfill” the grammar gap, or unknown expression, etc., but it’s easier the further you move along the growth continuum. It might be subconscious, or maybe a conscious effort to grab a resource and look it up. But I’ve noticed that sometimes you’re just not ready to learn and assimilate something new, but later on, you are. Not necessarily because it’s too hard at first, but more likely because it’s too much and may be too nuanced for your level. Well, that was a ramble. Keep up the good work. I’ll check out your channel.

I don´t know about "before" but, one of the main things that REALLY pisses me off about "Spanish" is having to state "Spanish of Spain and ONLY Spain" over and over on nearly everything. I finally have sympathy for Language Simp saying "American" and totally agree. English is for England, Castellano is for Spain, but the idiots on the Internet do not agree. So, that´s very annoy and, I did "waste" a year learning generic "who cares Spanish" without realizing the NUMBER ONE first step is to decide WHICH Spanish. While I´ll give you a pass on Colombian Spanish, because they try very hard to be "neutral", you are still using the flag of Spain for your lessons. That kind of annoys me because you're asserting a better Spanish "as if". The problem with the latino varieties is, the majority of the population never went to school. They make words up. I mean, how can you misspell "Vaya" with "Baya" until you´re just a dumbss.

Great advice that works for learning any language. I have most definitely been caught up in some of these mistakes with my other languages 🙂

SKIP AND DONT STOP YESSSSS. This feels productive but you ultimately spend so much time on the first few sentences and you get too bogged down in pausing that it wastes time. Your best to listen to a 1,000 words while knowing 30% than trying to understand or "memorise" and learn singular words or short chunks without context

The problem is they speak so fast these people so its had for me to listen word by word lol...i have been learning portugese and i can make a few sentenses evn in text but wen i hear someone speaking ...i realise i actually dont knw anything lol

Very impressive way to learn . like training wheels for language , it works . also avoid people who want to practice their English on you . At least in the beginning .

Nice one. A genuinely useful video, unlike a lot of langauge vids on RUclips which are just clickbait

"get & myself" should help - despertarme !

This was supremely helpful. Thank you!

Great Idea👍

Super. Gracias.

More more reflexive verbs…gracias

Como magia! 🪄 por fin lo entiendo!

Could you help me with Nosotros Nos - I’ve just learned the basic concept of subject/object but a I could do with some examples to drill it in

Wow, so glad I found your channel! This way of learning is super helpful to me! Thanks🙌

That was excellent-I finally understand the reflexive.The "get"is the key for me!!

great insight! I'm come to the conclusion that its best to learn from someone who learned spanish as a second language because they understand the roadblocks or difficulties whereas a native spanish speaker probably don't grasp those concepts because they've never experienced them.

OMG!! The word "get" really made that clear. Gracias!

The more Spanish I learn the more I like English!
