WHY THIS VIDEO HELPS YOU TO LEARNING SPANISH
* The script of this video was written using a list of the top 1,000 words in spoken Spanish. This helps you focus on the most useful words, words you'll hear all the time.
* In today's video, the only words outside the top 1,000 are: "Actualmente", "español", "irte" and the names of the characters.
You can download a list of the 5,000 most common words in spoken Spanish here:

FUN FACTS
* Misusing the word "actualmente" is one of the most common mistakes foreigners make. This is because the English word "actually" and the Spanish word "actualmente" are false friends: They're similar, but the meaning is different. In today's video, John should have said "En realidad...".
* In some cases, an adjective can change the meaning if you swap "ser" for "estar". In today's video, John should have said "María no es mala. María es muy buena."
* The character of Laura was inspired by Federica de P. Luche, a fictitious character in the Mexican comedy show "La familia P. Luche".

It’s a big mistake that he doesn’t want to leave her, he DEFINITELY should 😂😂
Well, then maybe that's "Mistake #3"
actualmente
No shit lol😂
¡Este comentario me puso a reír a carcajadas!
😂
"No, ¡María está buena!" 🤣 🤣 🤣 Ay, me encanta...
I really hope everyone understands how funny the joke at the end is when he says “Ella está muy buena” 😂 súper chistoso, este video!
Well…never expected a simple animation to convey the most accurate representation of a language error induced train wreck but here we are. A crash course on the language and culture simultaneously. Buen trabajo
¡Gracias por ver!
Su único error fue noviarse con una tóxica 🤣🤣
Bueno, sí. Quizá ese es el error #3 en esta historia.
Well, I'm not sure how to say this in Spanish, but my advice to John would be run for the hills while you still can. Laura is an absolute car crash. Looking forward to the next episode.
Hi! In Spanish I would say "Corre mientras puedas".
Por favor, mas videos como esto. Muy chistoso.
¡Gracias por comentar!
Wow, I was tuned in to this & I learned a lot 😂😂😂
If I could find more short dramatic beginner Spanish clips on RUclips, I'd know spanish in no time
Another great video. And truthfully sometimes when my wife and I are in a "heated" conversation it becomes worse because of my poor Spanish speaking!
Thanks! I have ideas for at least two more videos in the "gringo mistakes" series, but my current goal is to complete all the videos in the comprehensible input series.
My wife has been fluent in english for over 40 years she even corrects my english. But we still can't communicate, no way I'm trying to have that kind of conversation in spanish, ever!
Love these videos - thanks for making them!
Thank you! I have literally dozens of scripts ready to record and animate.
Thanks for this video, it was well done.
Un video excelente, muchas gracias!!!
¡Muchas gracias por comentar!
This is some great content for learning Spanish !
Thanks a lot!
Good training video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Banderas rojas.....
Creo que las llamamos "señales de peligro" en español. Pero no lo usamos mucho.
This is a very hilarious video. I have a question about one of the lines in video "¿Qué? ¿Qué quieres decir con eso, ah?" It sounds like she is saying "'¿Qui? ¿Qui.." at the beginning to me. Is it my hearing or is that the natural way "Que" is said when someone is upset like her? By the way, I like these short videos for transcribing because they are short as well as entertaining. This is exactly what I need to help me be consistent in improving my writing and listening comprehension skills.
Hi! I also noticed this while editing, and decided to leave it because it's so natural. And yes, my explanation would be exactly that. She pronounced /e/ almost like [i] due to emotion. Another example would be when we pronounce "no" almost as [na] to reflect incredulity.
CUTE! Gracias!
Glad you liked it!
Haha muy chistoso, especialmente la broma en el fin 😂 that has gotten me awkward looks every now and then 😬 Lol
Todas son locas 😂
Bueno, no todas.
Run John!
Yup.
Pero si "actualmente" es engañoso, que puedo decir, si ella era una amiga antes y ahora ya es mi tóxica?
Me gustan mucho estos historias cortas.🙌
This is hilarious. Well done. Poor John. 🤷♀️
Yup, poor John.
Jajajaja, qué buen video.
jajajaja . Te desee una Feliz Navaidad y Año Nuevo.
Damn she crazy
Yo conocí una gringa que dijo "Las flores son tristes" en vez de "Las flores están tristes"
Oh, chispas. Suena poético sin importar cómo se interprete.
This may not be related to the video but I have a question about "R" at the beginning of a word. and double RR in the middle.. If I cannot roll my R's yet how should I say these.... As a American R or a tapped R. Thank you
Hi! I have a whole playlist devoted to the trilled RR: ruclips.net/video/fQ09ZsAgLgo/видео.html
Leccion excelente, muchisimas gracias. Una pregunta por favor - at 3:02 se dice
"Pero no quiero ver otra vez a María" Laura is saying she doesn't want John to see Maria again, I think? Although it could sound like Laura is saying "I dont want to see Maria again". Is it implied that John is the one not to see Maria again or am I missing something obvious?
Saludos ;-)
¡Hola! It means "I don't want to see María again".
@@spanishinput excelente, gracias. Pensé que era un pedido para John, masa!! Muchas gracias por aclarar.....
¡Qué le pasa a Laura!

Maria está buena. Una buena tía 😅
Un poco celosa.
Yikes, great lesson but boy does that bring back some horrible memories of toxic exs lmao
Sorry about that! But hey, emotions can help with learning.
@@spanishinput it just goes to show the accuracy of the dialogue 😜
Why does he say “Maria no está mala.” ? Shouldn’t it be Maria no es mala? Isn’t her being a good person a more inherent quality in which case we use Ser instead of Estar?
Hi! The whole video is a collection of gringo mistakes.
John needs better female friends - Laura is toxic and maria (who knows spanish and knows john is now learning Spanish just watched him sink himself without trying to help - I think maria either has a dark sense of humor or she wants John for herself - let's get a sequel to this drama!
Thanks for your comment, Emmanuel! I actually wrote María as just an honest friend, because in the main Spanish Input Course María is married to an Argentine man. I originally wanted her to explain John's mistakes, but it would have ruined the timing of the humor.
Su Big mistake es andar con latinas.... 'Actualmente' son bien dramáticas 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Talk about toxic
Que tóxica
Totalmente de acuerdo.
Laura was right. She isn't as pretty as Maria. But don't blame John. Blame the illustrator. ;)
The irony is... I actually used the exact same base file for both. I only changed the hair and colors.
@@spanishinput Interesting. But now it sounds like some AI intervention. 😄
