Here is an overview of the uses of se. More in depth videos coming soon. Feel free to contact me here: Instagram: @rico.antonio.oficial Email: Rickiew2124@gmail.com
One thing I would add to this is something that confused me when I started actually talking to people who speak Spanish -- they add a reflexive form for no particular reason. I finally realized that it's the same thing we do in English -- sometimes we say, "Get yourself over here" when we could just say :"Get over here." Or we say "Did you get yourself a job?" when we could just say "Did you get a job?" In the same way, native Spanish speakers will say, "Tómate tu leche" where they could just say "Toma tu leche" -- I guess that's "te" and not "se", but if it were formal it could be used the same way.
"me" is first person. "te" is second person. "se" is third person or formal person. PLURAL: "nos" "os" "se" Yes, spanish changes for every person. But in English too: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves
@@santuki_bro Funny, I wrote that comment a long time ago, and I've been surprised that it's gotten several comments, and I was just thinking about it the other day, so it's cool that you've just commented! Another thing I just started being aware of is how some Spanish speakers will say "--ico" instead of "-- ito" to do the diminutive. And it seems to be just for fun, to change it up, as far as I can tell. I first became aware of it in that song Bicleta by Carlos Vives and Shakira ( "una cartica que te escribí...") and now I'm hearing it all the time.
Thank you. I appreciate your videos. My trick with understanding “Se hable español” - In these instances, with “se” that is often used on business or public signs, I translate literally in English as “One speaks Spanish.” In this case “Se” is a formal “One,” as in reference to a person in general. In other words, it conveys that there is someone(s) that speaks Spanish on the premises. Another example, “No Se Nadar Aqui” - often seen at a lake - “One cannot swim here.”
Bro these videos are a Godsend. Translator ALWAYS gets these wrong so its impossible to figure out on your own without knowing the usages as you explained. 💪🏻💪🏻
Nothing to be scared of from masonry! Good group of guys that want to make the world a better place! I would know I am one! Love the videos btw! I’m learning a lot just by listening. Thank you for what you do!
And the one you did with the skits of how different people act towards you when they learn that you speak Spanish, that was amazing and so true. I must have seen each one of those people you described about a hundred times
Teaching vocabulary of reflexive verbs with alternative meanings - such as, ir, to go, irse, to leave, would be very helpful. I find the reflexive verbs - an alternative verb vocabulary - a major challenge. I have understood that it’s best to consider them a different vocabulary altogether, but they are not addressed as such in formal courses I have had - just sprinkled in among lessons here and there. Truly a major task as there are so many.
Can you make a video or just explain how you started incorporating the accidental se, indirect/direct object se, or just grammar rules in general in your daily speech when you were still learning spanish? Love your videos and keep doing you!! ;)

Sure. Good idea! thanks for your support! I'm going to break them down separately.
Constantly listening to your accent is helping me change the way I sound, I have been learning by ear, its time to sign up for class now...I have located the books you suggested...I should have them next week
Awwww “se”...the most fun yet the most annoying at times lol...I saw a sentence today and it said “ Mi hijo nunca quiere irse a dormir”.....let’s just say I just skipped that whole entire sentence lol...it’s a love and hate thing...lol...just like “al que”....It drives me nuts lol
I know it's one of those annoying ones. Es por eso que decidí hacer este video jaja. Pero sí, irse es reflexivo. En este caso significa to go to sleep. Dormirse is the actual verb there, but typically "irse" significa "to leave" y voy a hacer un videocito sobre al que, el que, la que etc.
Hola Rickie Walls encontré tu canal hoy y me encantó no lo dude y me suscribí,me encanta que un chico afroamericano le guste hablar español y le encante la cultura hispana,soy dominicano,del Norte de la isla te animo a visitar mi país si no lo has hecho y así disfrute de la belleza del Caribe,me encanta visitar tú país sobretodo en invierno
6 лет назад
Porque te gusta visitar EEUU en Invierno. Sabes que invierno casi rima con inferno jaja. Gracias por suscribirte y me encantaría visitar tu país. De hecho, quisiera mudarme pa RD un día.
Rickie Walls jajaja aunque rime con infierno es diferente allí ,pues acá siempre tenemos calorcito y es bueno de vez en cuando disfrutar un clima diferente,hombre pues en Dominicana estamos a la orden con playas,montañas ,museos y de todo un poco especialmente en el Norte donde vivo y en el Este donde está la mayoría de los complejos todo incluido aunque aquí también hay bastantes
Well how much are your lessons?? I have been practicing Spanish for years and your videos have helped me with the semantics of spanish grammar that I'm not able to understand. Thank you, thank you for this video in particular.

Thanks for checking out my content! I would love to continue to help you. I felt like this video would answer a lot of questions so glad to see that that was true. Please shoot me an email so that I can give you the whole run down for my lessons. Rickiew2124@gmail.com
I was in Mexico last year. I made friends with someone. He asked me. “Cuando se va?” I understood what he was asking but i dont understand why he used “se” Im sure you answered it here but not sure where. Additionally: i was doing church ministry. Regularly we offered “Dios le bendiga.” Why ‘le’ and not ‘te’?
"¿Cuándo va (usted)?" (when do you go?) is not the same as "¿Cuándo se va?" (when do you leave?). The question is using the verb irse, not just ir. Ir and irse are not the same verbs, if you want to learn more just google pronominal verbs. The tú form of this question would be "¿Cuándo te vas?". I hope that helps.
4 года назад+2
Maybe you misheard him? Or he just said it wrong. Cómo te va or como le va work but not cómo se va.
I love these types of vids because it showcases more than just u talking about the topics it shows the are/backgroud and people like myself that live in the boring country on the uk can see that there's hope o one day leaving this country

Yes, I always dreamed of living in Miami after visiting here for a little bit 5 years ago. Where I was just living was the most boring space. There is hope!
I was looking for that last one. I was speaking to a native Spanish Speaker and that person said "Se me olvido" I was what, why did you use "Se" here. Thanks this clarified.
Por favor, hace un video sobre "the subjunctive" tu explicas cosas tan bien. Finalmente, voy a comprender el subjunctivo. Y has hablado sobre "haber?" Yo pienso que lo harias facil para comprender (to understand). Lol, got a little confused there. This probably barely made sense, but thank you again for another excellent lesson. I watch your channel like netflix! Jajaja!
I understand the money thing and that is good. But im a single mom i and I follow you along with reading spanish books and teaching myselfon my own but I learn better by following your videos. If people want to pay for one on one that's great but please dont stop uploading videos for people like me.
6 лет назад+1
You make a good point, and i never said that I would stop uploading videos jaja. I just didn't want to put all of my lessons up. I will continue to clarify things and I will put up some lessons, just not all of them.
My wife is the only one who seems to be able to understand my speaking spanish but thinking english. My short term goal is to be able to speak directly to my 5 year old...
I am currently reading El Hobbit and I don't understand the usage of "se" in this sentence: "La puerta se abría a un vestíbulo cilíndrico, como un túnel".
Do you raise your kids bilingually? If so, can you make a video about that?
6 лет назад+1
I don't live with my kids anymore. I used to only speak to them in Spanish for the first two years. There is a video of me talking to my oldest daughter on IG when she was about 1 & a half, but now it's all English. If they want to learn when they get older, then I will teach them.
Q lo q Ricky Puede hacer un Karaoke de la canción del género de Salsa q je llama “ El Todopoderoso “ mane I Challenge you to do it, just to see how you do it mane, saludes desde Clinton, Norte Carolina.

Hola Rickie, Yo tengo a pregunta por tu. I see you vive in Florida tambien. We are having our Spanish group meeting next week and we want you to join us here in the Central Florida area as our special guest. It will be next Friday. Would you like to join us?
6 лет назад+2
Hola! I would love to do so, however it depends on where it is, because my vehicle is still in Illinois. I don't work that day so i am free. Can you email me with more info please Rickiew2124@gmail.com
Rickie Walls it doesn't have a? So you didn't ask me something I know it's something about me having your information are you giving me your information
Rickie Walls oh because you said you were going to stop posting certain lessons online because you have people who pay for them and I was saying if a person doesn't live in a state where they can pay you or they don't have access to pay you then how do you gain access to do that but we've already established that
6 лет назад
I use paypal, Square cash, and venmo for payments. I don't think you have to be in a state to use those. Idk

But in English too:

This comment and the other comment in-front of me has helped me so much
Glad you said that, because a lot things now make sense to me.
Exactly! I'm a native speaker and that's completely right

Thanks for the confirmation. This is what I thought when I saw the phrase on businesses.
Wrong - “No se nada aquí”
I always thought it meant we speak Spanish, when I would see the commercials
Bro these videos are a Godsend. Translator ALWAYS gets these wrong so its impossible to figure out on your own without knowing the usages as you explained. 💪🏻💪🏻
I appreciate your content so so much
I appreciate you for watching it!
My man Ricky! I need a Spanish podcast from you bro jj
El Chévere that's exactly what I was thinking

Sí 👍
I come back and watch at least once a day. Appreciate you man
More ser and estar. You brave sitting up there!!
Thanks for making these videos because this is what is key to learning how to speak fluently
And the one you did with the skits of how different people act towards you when they learn that you speak Spanish, that was amazing and so true. I must have seen each one of those people you described about a hundred times
thank you so much for making the correct meaning of SE.. you rock, mi hombre!!

Ricky, can you make a videos on words you shouldn't use in a particular Spanish-speaking country? Muchas gracias!
Can you make a video or just explain how you started incorporating the accidental se, indirect/direct object se, or just grammar rules in general in your daily speech when you were still learning spanish? Love your videos and keep doing you!! ;)
Sure. Good idea! thanks for your support! I'm going to break them down separately.
Muy bien,eres un gran profesor, te felicito,tienes una muy buena forma de enseñar Español..

I listened to a few videos on se, I like how you simplified it. Subscribed
I'm gonna be doing a whole series on it here! Thanks for subbing!
Your video's are the best I have seen on spanish teachings
Thanks for the clarity Rickie, this summary definitely helped me out!
No problem! I'm glad that I could help.

Chris Stafford I believe “le” is used with the “usted” form, to be polite
"¿Cuándo va (usted)?" (when do you go?) is not the same as "¿Cuándo se va?" (when do you leave?). The question is using the verb irse, not just ir. Ir and irse are not the same verbs, if you want to learn more just google pronominal verbs. The tú form of this question would be "¿Cuándo te vas?". I hope that helps.

He was a kid. I distinctly heard him. I told him that i was flying home soon and he asked me, “cuando se va? It confused me.
@@memowilliam9889 ooooooh! I read it wrong. I thought you said "cómo se va." "Cuándo se va" is when do you leave! My mistake.
¡aprendido todavia, pero tus videos ayudan mucho!

Rickie Walls I hope miami seems so far away from me right now pero one day I'll visit
I was looking for that last one.
I was speaking to a native Spanish Speaker and that person said "Se me olvido"
I was what, why did you use "Se" here.
Thanks this clarified.
Just checked the channel about 2 hours ago looking for new content. Thank you Rickie
Thanks you for checking. I'm really trying to update regularly. More coming soon! : )
Why would anybody down vote a video like this?
It's all good lol. Sometimes you need opposition. I know that everyone won't like me or what I say
What would be, time is running out? Does that exist in Spaniah? I have to take notes!
These videos are immensely helpful.
Very helpful, thanks so much!
Por favor, hace un video sobre "the subjunctive" tu explicas cosas tan bien. Finalmente, voy a comprender el subjunctivo. Y has hablado sobre "haber?" Yo pienso que lo harias facil para comprender (to understand). Lol, got a little confused there. This probably barely made sense, but thank you again for another excellent lesson. I watch your channel like netflix! Jajaja!

Rickie Walls okay I'll have to find your email first.
That dominican accent is beat
I thought ser is used like sea amable , subjuntivo ser!
I just completed a few lessons with Progressive Pronouns. This video was helpful. Please go further with more pronoun practice.
I will definitely go over pronouns, those are so important even though they are so small. Stay tuned and thanks for sticking around :)

How do I get a session with you?
Hola, Please shoot me an email at Rickiew2124@gmail.com so that I can give you all that you need to know. : )
Man you pissing me off talking fast like they do here in the DR I moved a week ago 😂
So I was watching a show and one of the guys said “se lo tenian merecidos esas gonorreas” why is the se used there?
Because of the word Merecidos. it comes from the verb merecerse which is one of the reflexive verbs in that case.
Rickie Walls ohhh okay thanks
No hay de que : )
7:15 tengo la mente sucia😭
