      Me gusta cómo puedes hablar inglés y explicar las lecciones manteniendo tu acento nativo y también hacer que las lecciones sean fáciles de entender. Sigue con el buen trabajo.

    Another insightful video into the pecularities of the spanish language on the students journey to fluency. As a native English speaker, I notice that "La Maestra" has a little trouble with the "r" in "preterite", so I don't feel so bad about my spanish "r's". Aquí están mis respuestas a sus preguntas:
    1. Ellá esta contenta. (estar - feelings)
    2. Cuándo era niño, iba al parque. (imperfect)
    3. No tengo nigún gato. ( dbl neg)
    4. Luis viaja para conocer el mundo. (goal seeking)
    5. Todos los martes voy a dentista. (days use articles)
    6. ¡Que tengas buena suerta! ( subjunctive)
    7. La tienda está en la esquina. ( estar - location)
    8. Juan es un profesor. (no articule req.)
    9. Me gusta correr, dormir y comer. (Inf. Verbs = singular)
    10. La comida es tan rica. ( so = adverb=tan)

      Woooow! All your answers are correct! 🤓Just a minor detail! In #5, we say "todos los martes voy al dentista"...that 'al' is necessary to express direction 🙂. Aside from that, you did amazing! I just came to the conclusion that R's are complicated in any language 🥲

    This was a great lesson of a lot of basic grammar-well done! Having studied Spanish for several years, I totally agree with you about learning the Subjunctive early! Thanks!

    I'm waiting for all the past tense stuff.... that's the only thing holding me back from getting really good at conversational Spanish.... I know the simple past but still having problems knowing everything in the Imperfect.... and not only that, i'm not sure exactly what all past tense stuff i need to have no problems at all. For future i just use va a, voy a, vas a, etc.... and i know how to say "i was going to)... iba a, ibas a, iban a, etc..... help me out Maestra, I'm waiting on that new video you have coming because I'm about to turn up the learning and put in 6 hours a day because i am close but getting really impatient. Also i still notice that understanding Mexican Spanish is way harder than other LA Spanish but it is getting much, much easier lately.... I clicked LIKE before the video even started, you are always great !!!!

    • @TellMeInSpanishEng
      @TellMeInSpanishEng  Год назад

      ¡Hola, amigo! So nice to hear from you 😊Yeah! We natives also use 'ir' a lot for the future, so it's great that you're using it! For the past tenses, you really just need to understand the preterite and imperfect. I have a couple of guides on the website about each individual tense and one focusing on the differences between these two. Don't give up! 🙃 What do you find harder about Mexican Spanish? The speed? The vocabulary? The accent? Here is the link to the guide I told you: www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/preterite-vs-imperfect/

      @@TellMeInSpanishEng thanks for that link Daniela, i bookmarked it in my browser so i can find it easily every day!!! As far as understanding Mexican Spanish here is what I'm getting from the U.S. military linguist school course: "you probably noticed, in listening to and imltating these items, that they seem to be pronounced faster than English words of similar
      length. Actually they are not, but there is a big difference in rhythm which makes it seem that they are. Thus the Spanish way is to make every syllable almost equally long, giving a rnachine gun effect, whereas the English way is to make
      the louder syllables longer."..... SOOOOO, I'm going thru the military training for audio comprehension now which it teaching me how to understand it, so hopefully it work. Does anyone in Mexico say "no tengo plata" to mean the same as "no tengo dinero" ???

      @@MexicanMovie that's very interesting!! I want to know how that process goes for you! Some people say "no tengo plata", but it's not very common. You can say "no tengo lana" if you're looking for a slang phrase. "No tener plata" is more common on Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, and Spain!

      Thanks, the guy learned Spanish in Canary Islands and was visiting Mexico City, that explains it. Military course is very hard but just my first week, it is all talking out loud, I will keep you informed.

      @@TellMeInSpanishEng WOW, I can't believe this was 5 months ago, I pretty much know the preterite and imperfect now like the back of my hand! And the more i learn, the less i think Mexican spanish is fast, it's just a learning process. Your course has helped a lot, and I'm probably gonna go thru it several more times on my way to becoming a native speaker, my little brain can't absorb everything from just one time through the course, lol..........

      I thought you said you make these mistakes! 🤔 All your answers are correct! Just a minor detail! In number #2, I can see that you tried to use the imperfect tense (which is the right answer), but "ir' is irregular 🥲. It's conjugation for the imperfect is 'yo iba, tú ibas, él iba, nosotros íbamos, ellos iban". But aside from that, great job.

      😱Guau!!! Nice work my friend! A quick note on sentence #2: did you only go once to the park when you were a kid? 😱I'm guessing you likely went multiple times, so 'fui' should be 'iba' (imperfect) because it conveys that sense of recurring action in the past 😉That's a question that can quickly assess the tense you need "did I do this one time / do I know the specific moment when I stopped".

      ¡Hola, amigo! Great work! Here goes the feedback:
      In sentence #1, we're correcting the verb not the adjective, but your solution is great 😂'feliz' actually works with 'ser' and 'contenta' with 'estar'.
      In sentence #7, we're trying to express where the store is (location), so we must say "la tienda está en la esquina".
      You did amazing 🤓and good job with changing 'contenta' for 'feliz'.
