Sometimes while watching your videos I get annoyed and think to myself "hurry up and move on Ana, I already understand it!" But that is because you are so good at simplifying things, I understand it very quickly. You are the best Spanish teacher I've seen, and I've had many in school and online!
I learnt in an hour, what an online Spanish teacher has failed to do after seven weeks of lessons. Mil gracias a ti - you're very clear in explaining a tedious topic in Spanish.
@@geminmyeyes931 Where some teachers are better than others, or, some explain the same things differently than do other teachers, so too do some students learn at different rates or learn from different directions than other students. From each teacher, I can learn something. I, too, signed up for some online lessons. I needed the structure of regular lessons to keep me motivated. In my case, the lesson plan emphasizes reading stories where the stress is on getting the gist of the story at first.

It's a different way of learning, but it's just as valid as other techniques. My quest at the moment is to find a precise definition of "indefinido" vs. "imperfecto." They both sound pretty vague to me. Ana has hinted at a definition I can use, but I'll keep searching. The internet is a big place with lots of teachers out there. I'm sure one of them has the answer I'm looking for.
Somewhere, in the cobwebs of my memory, I was probably taught this, in High School Spanish. A loooonnnngggg. Time ago. I am now in Mexico, for the fifth year, and still try to learn the language. You tackled a VERY difficult concept, and explained it very well. I makes LOTS of sense, and looks easy. Thank you, so much. I enjoy ALL your lessons.
Recuerdo cuando era mi primera vez aprendiendo español y nunca entendí nada y siempre veía tus videos y ahora puedo entender el español con fluidez y hablar también gracias butterfly spanish 💕💕
Whenever I watch your videos, I can't stop smiling and laughing. I think my boyfriend is getting jealous 😂 Thank you for making learning Spanish easy and fun! There's no one I'd rather learn from ❤
Ana... You have a mighty intellect. This grows more obvious with each video I watch. Thank you for sharing your gift and expending your bilingual energy in pursuit of harmony and learning
Although most of you worship Ana, I don't. Her teaching method is very confusing for various reasons. However, I want to give her props big time because she is real. She has been doing this a long time and I believe she genuinely wants her students to not only learn Spanish, but also to appreciate and understand her culture (perhaps to excess). Recently, there have been an influx of "Spanish teachers" onto YT. You can tell that they are just in it for clicks and subscriptions. They heard that people are making money on YT by doing something as simple as speaking their native language and they are jumping on the bandwagon. Their "lessons" are nothing more than them talking. They don't teach anything, They just speak Spanish, as you to give them a like and to subscribe to their channel. Ana has taken time to prepare. She is detailed with what she does. She instructs, and that takes a lot of time and effort. I truly appreciate that. We all know that she has to eat like everyone else, and now she is being rewarded for her years of diligence. She continues to streamline her methods and that is also greatly appreciated. Much respect to Ana. Not so much to the others.
Hola Ana, gracias por tus vídeos. He aprendido mucho de ti. Me tomo la libertad de darte algunos consejos. Imperfecto es el nivel B1. Pierdes demasiado tiempo explicando la conjugación de los verbos. Los espectadores que ven este vídeo ya lo saben. Te deseo lo mejor
Thank you so much! I was in Spanish class yesterday trying to learn this and was getting so frustrated. But you broke it down perfectly and now I feel very confident in my knowledge of this concept. Thank you!!!!
@@yamaikoldelossantos337 en de maneras espesíficas sí. Comparado con el ingles es al revés pero cuando formes la costumbre de hacerlo, el idioma de español se converte en más claro. Estaré de acuerdo que en general el español tiene más matiz. De cualquier manera con la práctica y la dedicación, cualquiera puede aprender
Bueno, pero no se con "clarity" qué yo escribi aqui sera es correcto. Glad you found it helpful but I still feel that what I wrote up there is incorrect and there is a better way of conveying the same in Spanish.
Yup, verbs are the most important! For example, in Japanese a verb is the only required word in a sentence. You can just say one verb and that's a complete sentence (with a good context).
Ana -- This talk was over the top in knowledge of that ANY person learning ANYTHING! Wow -- You're the Wizard of Knowledge Ville when it comes to describing so many things -- in this tense -- EVERYTHING! Muchos gracias.
We say we “lost our train of thought.” I think En mis tiempos is equal to an older English speaker saying, “In MY day…” Also in English we pronounce epoch with our short e sound (first syllable) followed by the short u sound in the second syllable. So the second syllable would rhyme with tuck or luck. The emphasis would be on the first syllable. I’m not trying to be critical, I only want to be helpful. Thank you for making this video. It’s a super important one!
Okay, like WOW, i finalllly got it. She just wouldn't stop! Kept explaining with example AFTER example. I listened to this while driving but I'm going to watch it again over the weekend and take written notes because it's the most in-depth course on this topic I have found here. It's like sitting in a real live class. Muchas Gracias, Ana!

Buenas dias maestra Ana. Estoy muy alegre escuchando tu leccion. Ensenas bien. Contigo estoy comensando hablar y escritar la idioma espanol. Gracias mucho.
Such a great video! So thorough and broken down for easier understanding. Thank you for taking the time to do it! I'm glad to have found Butterfly Spanish!
You’re an excellent teacher and very natural on the way you teach. There is only one thing that I need to mention and it is the sound of the letter V and the letter B. It seems that we Latinos don’t see the difference of the sounds we interchange them, but for Americans there is a definite difference. They get confused specially if they’re not looking on a written word like victory they only hear the sound of bictory because that’s how we are accustomed to say it. So watching you going over the verb to go vamos I see your lips saying bamos. I can see now how important it is to pronounce the words correctly as they’re written. Am learning a lot from you. Thank you.
¡Me gusta tu sentido de humor! Tus descripciones son muy completas pero me gustaría oír más español. Eso sería útil ya que me cuesta entender el español hablado. ¡Gracias!
In simple terms For stuff that was a habit[things you used to do,]and Uncompleted actions,that were happening when they got interrupted by another action 🎬and continous actions For things that are no longer as they once were To explain dreams and imaginations Also used to sound,as you'd use the conditional
Hace mucho tiempo sin verte profe...te quiero...you're the reason i didn't give up on Spanish ...gracias por la lección I needed to brush up on these 🥰✌🇺🇬🙂❤
@@naishalubega3756 Sí! Jajaja! I am contemplating changing my phone menu from Ingles to Español so that I learn fast. Besides learning online, do you attend physical Spanish classes?

Brilliant! At last a long explanation which absolutely helps me see why and when we use imperfecto! I have given you a monetary thanks for your work. THANK YOU 🙏
Buenas dias, Ana from Butterfly Spanish. Even though I am new person but I find your channel excellent. Usted es una professora excelente. Me gusta su channel. Muchas gracias.
Muchisímas gracias por la lección muy rica. Me has ayudado más de que puedas imaginar. Todo el tiempo yo estaba confundida sobre cómo puedo identificar el pretérito imperficto. Ójala usted pueda grabar un vídeo que aclare la diferencia entre estaba + gerundio y estuve + gerundio. 👌👌🌼🌻
This video is incredible!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Do you have a video on using either “había or he/ha” bc those are so confusing for me and you are an incredible teacher. The length you go to describe and also show with examples is something i really appreciate

I've taken 9 years of Spanish in HS and college. Ana has more skill than any of my instructors. Her energy and excitement is inspiring!

I humbly need to get the outline of Spanish grammar
The problem is they don’t go to the basic like they did when they taught us English
I've never listened to a better Spanish teacher!!
Ana you broke this down so good . You're the best spanish teacher on the internet
exactly, teaching perfect..

nunca entendia nada
How long did it take you to be fluent?
Hey maybe you can give me pointers by responding to my comment.
I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure it’s “me recuerdo” not just “recuerdo”
Being taught about tenses ends up being strangely existential and philosophical.
Thanks for the wisdom!
Could there be a possible relation of memory , magical realism and the nuances of the ' imperfect ' ?
Whenever I watch your videos, I can't stop smiling and laughing. I think my boyfriend is getting jealous 😂 Thank you for making learning Spanish easy and fun! There's no one I'd rather learn from ❤
you teach in a way that allows people to stay watching the entire lesson.

You have an incredible talent for teaching. There are none better. You should be cloned and put in every school in the U.S. thanks.

Hola trate de hablar con nativo en español
La mejor maestra del mejores de verdad. Gracias por los videos increibles señora butterfly
Let me be clear I mean in the beginning you speak a lot of English and I'm ready to learn Spanish but you're great you're a good teacher
I'm learning Spanish. It's the same verb tense as imparfait in French that I teach. You gave a great explanation.
Yup, verbs are the most important! For example, in Japanese a verb is the only required word in a sentence. You can just say one verb and that's a complete sentence (with a good context).
Same in English, such as “Go,” “Gone,” “Run,” “Sleep,” etc.
Hola. My favorite maestro. Gracias por la leccion. You're the best. My Spanish us getting way better.
Hello my name is Leonardo I am from Chile, I speak Spanish and I would like to exchange languages specifically English
Ana, I love you and am so happy that you now teach Vosotros!
You are awesome!!!!!! Nice and very understandable work! Thank you!!!
Wow. First time I could understand the imperfecto so perfectly. Muchas gracias Ana
