      Yes - I fully agree. I’ve just started my spanish-learning journey 10 months ago and I’m 44 years old. You have an amazing tendency to address the inherent questions a native English speaker has when trying to put some of these words/phrases into practice - the do’s and don’ts that would not be obvious to us. A lot of times I’d ask a native spanish speaker a question of “why” and they would be unable to tell me with precision why something is, in comparison to the English way of saying it, which I already know. You always make these comparisons which GREATLY HELPS me understand and mentally correlate the new learned spanish to the ‘cemented’ english in my head. Thank you!
      I will be periodically buying you coffees!

    When I moved to Lake Chapala 13 years ago, I could speak pretty well already from having had an employee the previous 10 years who only spoke Spanish. To get better aural comprehension I found XEAD FM 101.9 "ciento uno punto nueve, la buena onda, su onda de alegría." I had it on in the car all the time as there were two DJ's, a guy and a gal who bantered but spoke very clearly and fast enough but not machine gun fast or clipping off ends of their words. After about 5-6 months of just having their babble in the background and not actually trying to understand much, all of a sudden I realized I was understanding 95% of it. I still listen to them now years later.

    Normally I only watch those Spanish video lessons (eg. "How to Spanish" ) if the presenters are native speakers AND there is almost zero English used to translate or explain grammatical points etc. BUT, the one exception I make is for the excellent video lessons made by Qroo Paul. It is as if Paul finds the lacunae in the standard textbook explanations of Spanish usage and proceeds to repair the "damage". I never fail to learn something amazing from Paul's presentations.

  • @kevineros2302
    @kevineros2302 Год назад +1

    Thanks for the videos. Maybe I missed it when you were talking about present indicative vs present progressive for action oriented verbs, but in informal Latin American Spanish, when is present progressive used regularly vs. the present indicative? I've already learned present progressive conjugations, but just wondering now if I will ever use them. What about the other tenses in progressive mood? Will I use them or not?

    • @QrooSpanish
      @QrooSpanish  Год назад +1

      Thanks for the super thanks! I appreciate it. The present progressive is commonly used in Latin America. No worries there. You will get a feel for when to use it. For example, it would work well in a sentence like: No te puedo hablar ahora. Estoy trabajando. - I can't talk to you now. I'm working.
      If someone asks - ¿Qué haces? - what are you doing? Many times that present progressive will fit nicely. Estoy viendo la tele - Im watching TV.
      And if you go to a store and the person working there asks if he or she can help you, you can say, estoy buscando....whatever. It is correct.
      Those IENDO and ANDO endings are useful for other verbs too. One of my favorites is seguir + gerund (ING) - to keep doing something. Sigo trabajando. I keep working.

      There are some differences in vocabulary; however, the main verbs and constructions apply there as well. I don't use vosotros but I have started mentioning it in later episodes. One significant difference between European Spanish and Latin American Spanish is to express the recent past. I use the preterite and European Spanish uses the present perfect. Just subtle things like that really.

    Hi Paul , as always great stuff. I notice in word reference, under buscar, they use ing for present tense. Estoy buscando las llaves y no las encuentro, I'm looking for the keys and I can't find them. Is the way you're teaching the way people speak and the Word reference the proper dictionary etiquette?

    • @QrooSpanish
      @QrooSpanish  Год назад

      If you are actively searching at that very moment estoy buscando (present progressive) is common. If someone asks what you are looking for you may hear either that or the present tense: ¿Qué buscas? The latter being quite common. If we're looking for something but not literally looking for it at that moment, the present tense is common. Buscamos una casa que tenga dos recámeras (we're looking for a house that has two bedrooms). If you use buscar + infinitive to mean "to look to do something" the present tense is by far the most common: Mexico busca reforzar su alianza con Colombia (Mexico seeks to strengthen its alliance with Colombia).
      I hope that answers your question.

    Paul, in the sentence that you use conte to describe “told”. Couldn’t you have used “Le dije a Maria lo qué pasó ayer”. If so, what is the preferred way to use I told? I guess this is also true for cuéntame. You could have use dime, right? Thanks

    • @QrooSpanish
      @QrooSpanish  Год назад +1

      You can use decir but it is more common to use contar when telling a longer story or account. Think of it as narrating. Decir is great for telling people what to do (Le dije que se fuera) or sharing information or facts (Le dije dónde vive Juan).

      @@QrooSpanish Btw i should have started my comment positively - your videos are super helpful for me thanks :) But yes, whilst everyone says 'you shouldnt translate to learn a language' i disagree. i've sort of made my own version of english inside my head that's structured the way spanish people speak. Its easier to learn another english, than another language entirely. And that makes it easy to quickly rememeber structures. Eventually the spanish becomes embedded just as through any other method, if you practice enough.

    Got the impression that you are so fast for some (unknown) reasons ~particularly today's video 😢~😮~

      Sorry about that. I was a bit rushed in my filming. You can always slow the video speed on RUclips. Hit the gear icon.

    Super weird how this channel uses commercials for students of English! Possibly because I'm in Mexico now, but it's really stupid considering how this channel is focused on Spanish
