As a recently retired English teacher who teaching himself Spanish, I appreciate your upbeat personality, clear explanations, and use of grammatical terms. Using the grammatical terms really helps me because I know English grammar.
Muchísimas gracias, Ana. I have tutored over 1,500 people in college and graduate school and received a full scholarship for doing so. I never expected to receive anything, I tutored because I love to teach, like you so eloquently wrote about yourself in the above description. Your lessons are amazing. You present the material in a fun and intuitive manner which makes comprehension and rent ion of the material almost effortless. I have explored hundreds of Spanish resources - from books to courses and videos. You have found and employed what all of the others could not - that magical and intuitive "glue" that make the language come alive and live on in your memory, thus each lesson provides a strong and intuitive foundation for whatever comes next. As others have already noted, you are a very special teacher - Funny, smart and professionally excellent. Your love of teaching Spanish shines through every lesson. Your viewers actually "learn" and not have to memorize some cold, stale book knowledge. You bring the Spanish language to life! I'm learning more from your lessons than all of the other resources combined.
Ana, you are such an awesome teacher!!!!! I speak French ( my native language ) and I am also fluent in English..... now that I am retired and have all this spare time to make my forever dream to learn Spanish come true ..... MERCI A TOI!!!! I am totally amazed as to how much I have learned so far from you... I simply adore you.....
I love butterfly spanish! Me gusta mucho la mariposa española. Me caes bien la mariposa española. Eu gosto muito da borboleta espanhola. Muchas gracias mi querida maestra, Tú eres la maestra de mi corazón!
I have been trying to improve my Spanish for years. I subscribed to you years ago but wasnt determined as I am now. I am so glad I found your videos they explain everything so well! I may remember how to use something but not the why and you explain is it so perfectly. Muchas gracias por todo!
the fact that its a video class like stuff its good ,easy to follow , and also the fact that you joke and smile and use simple example I really like that please keep doing it
Anna, thank you mucho for your lessons. I like them very much. You were born a teacher - very positive approach and funny way of presentation. I am a total beginner, I started learning Spanish a month ago. I found your lessons on YT and since then I have been glued to my PC watching it repeatedly. It helps me to a lot to keep my motivation to study this beautiful language. Keep at it. !!!!Thumbs up!!!! :-)

Querida Anna,thanks a million for the excellent guidance and explanation in connection with the Spanish Verb- Gustar- to like..God bless you in abundance.👌🏾👌🏾👏👏🎶❤❤
U know how long I was waiting for you to upload a new video.....Thank you for all the Spanish Learning Videos ...I'm trying to learn Spanish here in Trinidad and Tobago....Keep up the good work ,God Bless and HAPPY NEW YEAR :)
This woman is absolutely adorable. I'm learning Spanish out of necessity and she's making it more fun than anything else I've tried to use. Gracias, Butterfly Spanish.
+Butterfly Spanish profesora, es correcto decir 'me gustas' ?? as I like you? I thought verb gustar was not conjugated and only used in the third person, can you explain that, please?
+Piotr Maz Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to discover fastest way to learn to speak spanish try Alkarno Spanish Alchemist (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my brother in law got amazing success with it.
andrieyPL Hey, I am a spanish native speaker, Im learning english and also interested in having talks with english native speakers, so if you find this attractive you can email me: liz_alec@hotmail.es and talk through another means afterwards, Im not a teacher but i understand english and I can help you with some spanish. Bye
I have always wondered what 'A mí me gusta' was supposed to mean, now I know. Your video was very easy to understand and very interactive I enjoyed watching every minute of it!! ♪ ^ ● ^ ♪
The best teacher in the world:)that happiness and smile is so contagious....helps me to learn Spanish faster and I started loving the language even more coz of u....I wish I had an elder sister like u...:)u made my day Mam...!
I am currently taking college Elementary Spanish with En Linea - Vista Higher Learning. Was falling behind because of the lack of lecture until I found your video's on You tube. Great energy and excellent explanation! Muchas gracias
I absolutely love your videos. I learn so much from them. You are a natural when it comes to teaching. Please continue to make more videos, I really enjoy your upbeat spirit and concise teaching. Can you do a video on past tense words? I am Latina but was not really taught Spanish in my household. Though I understand it pretty well, speaking is difficult, because I am terrible with past tense. Please help:) Gracias.
Home with Hannah I´m friendly boy and I would like to meet different people. I'm from Dom. Rep. and can teach you spanish and you teach me english. great deal! my facebook Fausto Vasquez
Hi Anna, I liked the lesson. When I initially learnt the verb Gustar, instead of meaning 'to like', I understood it to mean: 'to please, be pleasing'. Therefore instead of using a Subject Pronoun, (Yo), one would use an Indirect Object Pronoun (Me) meaning 'to me'. e.g. Me gusta el libro = The book is pleasing to me (= I like the book) Me gustan los libros = The books are pleasing to me (= I like the books) The beginning of the video may confuse new students regarding the use of 'Me' instead of 'Yo'. I will be learning from your many other informative videos. Many thanks.
Just learning this, but that seems correct to me, in English it's saying the same thing with a passive voice. I wonder if this isn't some sort of adaptation by Latin to aboriginal speakers in Spain who kept some earlier syntax while using Latin - soon to become Spanish words.
Fun fact! The English verb "to like" used to function just like the spanish "gustar" a few hundred years ago, so when you said "I like her" means "she likes me" in today's English. In Shakespeare you can see the old use in cases like "The music likes me not" to mean "I don't like the music." Hopefully that helps people grasp the concept.
Me encantan tus vídeos. Yo también enseño español y como seguimos el método comunicativo, no nos permite hablar de gramática en clase (o por lo menos deberíamos evitarlo). Por lo tanto, yo siempre les envío recursos adicionales a mis estudiantes, especialmente los que aprenden mejor de un vídeo que del libro de texto. Cuando yo hablo sobre el verbo "gustar" y otros de estos verbos sicológicos (molestar, atraer, caer bien, etc.) suelo notar que el verbo "gustar" funciona de forma parecida al verbo "disgust" en inglés. Por ejemplo. En inglés, si no me gustan los perros, no puedo decir "Dogs disgusts me". De igual forma no puedo decir "The dog disgust me". Claro que no, porque lo que da asco es el sujeto de la oración. Por lo tanto, "Dogs disgust me" o "The dog disgusts me". Lo mismo pasa con los verbos como gustar: "Me gusta el perro", "me gustan los perros". Allí les señalo que el objeto, "me", señala a la persona que está experimentando el cambio psicológico. Sigue así me encantan tus vídeos :)
I’d think “me gusta” as “it pleases me” and “me gustan” as “they please me”. What you like please(s) you. The object(s) liked become(s) the subject in Spanish and the liker(s) become the object. 😊✌️
This is one of the things I was struggling with and you've made it so clear, MUCHAS GRACIAS ANA! But I have one thing - in the video you said 'snakes' was las víboras but I thought it was las serpientes
Both terms are common in México, using either one is a matter of a local preference. I think maybe the term "víbora" is just what people use more frequently wherever she is from in Mexico. I live in the state of Sonora, and although we use both, the term víbora is more common here (example: we would never call a rattlesnake "SERPIENTE de cascabel", over here would call it "VÍBORA de cascabel".
I'm so glad you love to talk because you teach really good. I have always wondered why we use "a mí me gusta" indirect non obligated pronoun . No one on RUclips ever explained it. You explain things so well. Thank you. Learning Spanish has become my hobby and it fun.
First time listing to your class, have to get acquainted with Spanish as I am leaving to live in Costa Rica, you are a Butterfly, listings and watching you made my day.
wow God bless you, the best Spanish class ever, you don't get bored but enjoy ever class. i do listen over and over again
Again, thank you Miss Ana.
Muchas gracias Miss Ana.

you are amazing teacher and very very clear and make it fun to learn.. i loved all your videos so far thank you and keep up uploading more videos..
Nice video. "Me gusta" actually means "I like" or "It is pleasing to me" and the infinitive "gustar" means "to like"
I’d think “me gusta” as “it pleases me” and “me gustan” as “they please me”. What you like please(s) you. The object(s) liked become(s) the subject in Spanish and the liker(s) become the object. 😊✌️

This is one of the things I was struggling with and you've made it so clear, MUCHAS GRACIAS ANA! But I have one thing - in the video you said 'snakes' was las víboras but I thought it was las serpientes
They both are synonyms and are interchangeable words, but the most usual word is Serpiente.
Both terms are common in México, using either one is a matter of a local preference. I think maybe the term "víbora" is just what people use more frequently wherever she is from in Mexico. I live in the state of Sonora, and although we use both, the term víbora is more common here (example: we would never call a rattlesnake "SERPIENTE de cascabel", over here would call it "VÍBORA de cascabel".

To practice I recommend you this Manu Chao's song called "me gustas tú"
I've been listening to it many times lately
