    I love how you keep most of your videos a perfect length. I love to rewatch most Spanish videos 4,5,6+ times to really get it to stick in my head. These are perfect. Muchas gracias!

    Can you please explain why 'mi' has 'A' before it but 'Yo' and 'Me' don't?

    • @TellMeInSpanishEng

      Mí is a prepositional pronoun. In other words, it's a pronoun we use after prepositions 'a mí, para mí, por mí', etc. 🤓 Yeah, Spanish pronouns are picky like that!

      @@TellMeInSpanishEng what’s crazy to me about learning Spanish is that I’m learning more about English than I ever did growing up in the USA. Also I swear my reading level in English has increased exponentially from studying Spanish. I think spending a lot of time learning Spanish while living in the USA connected new neural pathways in my brain. I absolutely fly through English books now it’s pretty wild to be honest. Man it’s not easy learning another language when you aren’t in that native language country!

      ⁠@@clath2823 i thought maybe this is a fun fact to share😅
      I’m not from the US and English is not my first language.
      In The Netherlands its very important to learn our own grammar and language this exact way. I would say it’s 70% of our Dutch classes from when we’re 8/9 until 16. They do this to help us write better. I always thought it was a waste of time until i started learning other languages like English, German and Spanish.
      I think learning these rules in your own language is very useful. I hope to get better at English and Spanish and i wish you a lot of luck with it too(:

    • @TellMeInSpanishEng
      @TellMeInSpanishEng  Год назад +5

      'Mí' is always used after prepositions! 🙂 'A' is a preposition. This construction (a mí) is very common with verbs like 'gustar' to emphasize or clarify who likes something.

    • @kimcrayne3819

      That's what I want to know. Duolingo (which is Spain-ish) often says it with a j sound (like "Joe") but I am certain that I usually hear "yo" out in the wild ;)
      Anyway, in this video, she's definitely got a j sound going on....

      Here are the corrections!
      1. Yo quiero aprender español (use the subject pronoun when talking about actions you perfom)
      2. Yo me bañé con agua fría ('bañarse' is a reflexive verb, so we must use 'me')

      It's like saying you please me, not I like you. So tu is the direct object and me is the one being pleased.

    • @TellMeInSpanishEng
      @TellMeInSpanishEng  10 месяцев назад +1

      When we express liking something in Spanish, we conjugate the verb based on the person or thing that is causing the feeling of liking. This might seem confusing because the word order is different from English. But check: "El chocolate me gusta / Me gusta el chocolate", "Las películas no me gustan"...The conjugation matches the subject...So, "tú corres"...."tú me gustas". The subject is not the person experiencing the feeling, but rather causing it.
