I live in a mostly spanish speaking area in south Texas. As an older white guy I'm not sure I can pick this up but I want to. I watched a few of your videos and decided to go to your first one and go through all of them. I am a teacher and most of my students are from Mexico or are Mexican and I'd like to be better at communicating with them so that they can get more out of my courses. I did what you said and changed the language on my phone and also downloaded a book I am familiar with in spanish. Hope old dogs can learn new tricks. God bless.
Thank you for this!!! My parents never taught me Spanish, due to the fact they were scared I was going to experience a lot of racism and now that most of my family lives in American now and I want to connect to them but they only know Spanish. So once again thank you
Yeah!! Little by little and being consistent!! :) I'm glad you found me! I hope I can be of help! Tell me if there's anything I can do for you! The last video I did was more for beginners, do tell me if it helps you so that I can do more like that! :))
When you call to make a bill payment when they give you the option in Spanish choose Spanish to see how much Spanish you actually know that was one of the ways I learned the language.
Excellent work. Thanks for doing this. Here in the States, many schools don't bother teaching a second language until High School. That makes it more difficult for kids to learn. I'll spread the word around other parents and tell them about this. Keep it up!
And I live in Kazakhstan where we should learn 2languages(russian, english) except mother lang.(kaz). I am glad I became trilingual til the middle school~)

Hola, I've recently gotten into your channel and I think you do a great job. Since I'm blind, I found new, interesting ways to adapt for me, which is basicaly audio based language learning. I started to learn Spanish from youtube afew years ago, but because I was lazy and burned out, I gave up. I chose a Spanish teacher on Italki the last week (a teacher is a great way of pushing towards the motivation for me) and I can say now I'm getting back on the track. Even if I have latin American friends, this is the way that I found out to be the most appealing for me, to find a teacher and alternate the grammar lessons etc with youtube videos. Thank you so much for doing this channel; your way of speaking is tremendously clear, beautiful and easy to understand. I hope to receive an answer in Spanish, to be completely honest. Adiós!
This is a very good video about how to learn and acquire a language. She emphasizes the 2 inputs;listening and reading, as well the outputs;speaking and writing. Repetition is key. I am finding as an older adult learner of Spanish that I must repeat the listening and reading more times than I imagined. I thought 5 or 10 times would be enough. No, for me it’s more like 100+ (For encouragement, I now try to imagine how many times a child hears or reads the same words and phrases in their native language.) She says in this video to repeat until you are bored or tired of it. I agree and would add that you need repeat “until you are bored” for many, many days. Then go back and repeat again days, weeks and even months later. I have found that children’s books are excellent source for reading. For example the “Junie B. Jones” series of books contain many common words and phrases. Also, the “Judy Blume” books are very good. She describes in this video that she read and reread several books like these. It is important to read them many times. I have found these in both English and Spanish in my local library.
I'm a Filipino who wants to learn Spanish so I can read Jose Rizal's (one of our heroes) books that are originally written in Spanish. Glad to have found this channel! Thanks! ^^
In my opinion, your method of language learning is excellent. I think learning grammar is much less important than doing the things you suggest....listening to stories, learning vocabulary and practicing. I'm looking forward to learning more from you. :)
Hi! I stumbled across your channel only a few weeks ago, and think your channel is so underrated! You have a great way of communicating and explaining to your subscribers how best to learn a new language. Thank you for sharing your advice and wisdom. Muchas gracias!
I thought English was your first language 🤭you're so good at speaking English, like what the hell!! hopefully one day I will be able to speak as well as you do in Spanish...
I thank god so muh i found you .I learnt spanish basics but i forgot it ..now i found you ..and you are so inspiring and by listening to you helps me a lot to learn
Una cosa que yo hacía cuando empecé a estudiar español en la secundaria fue escuchar la radio de onda corta en español. En aquel entonces no teníamos televisión. Así que por las tardes después de completar mis tareas escuchaba la radio. Escuchaba VOA, Radio Habana, HCJB. Al principio no entendía casi nada pero creo que fue bueno para entrenar mi oído para el español. Cuando finalmente conseguimos un televisor yo todavía escuchaba la radio y no prestaba mucha atención a la televisión. También algunas veces podía escuchar una emisora de México más tarde en la noche. Solo ofrecían dos años de español en la secundaria en aquel entonces.
This was a very excellent video. You really have some great recommendations, for learning any language. I am impressed with your knowledge. I enjoy watching you. Gracias!
Mi madre, tienes una fluidez asombrosa. Yo estoy aprendiendo inglés, y uno de mis problemas es que no encuentro gente con la que poder hablar. Me gustaría encontrar como dices un Language Parent, ya que creo que es mejor el intercambio y que me corrijan si cometo algún error, y si puedo ayudar yo también a la otra persona. Miraré el vídeo siguiente para saber qué comentas al respecto. Gracias
I discovered a channel called Spanish after hours, Low-key it’s great. It’s very innovative and has time tested strategies to help me on my language Journey. Muchísimas gracias!✅
Great video I'm almost on week 3 in my Spanish and definitely language exchange has helped me so much. At my job I work with Spanish speakers from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hondoras and others I'm not sure of. Repetition of my Spanish material that is relevant to my life but fun Spanish fun. I'm a mixture of native american on my father's side my mother was italian, Scot, Irish, with a little Spaniard I found out. I noticed Spaniard Spanish stands out to me. I love your channel gracious por tu ayuda Muchs gracious
You are a smart cookie. I just discovered your channel. Your system dovetails beautifully and uniquely with the other online Spanish teachers I follow. Thank you for all your help.
Me encanta tu video mucho! Yo he aprendiendo Español desde el nivel principiante durante cinco meses. Graciãs por el subtítulo. Tu eres el una de mis motivaciones.
Gracias por el vídeo. Cuando empecé a aprender español desde hace cinco años busqué y encontré una pareja de idioma aunque apenas pude entenderlo :D Pero si, eso es una buena recomendación y llevo hablando con esta pareja de idioma hasta hoy. Pero nunca he creído que cambiar el idioma del móvil sea muy útil. Sí, aprendes unas palabras, pero ya está. En vez de eso, hice todo (bueno, digamos mucho) en español que quise hacer en internet. Por ejemplo reservar hoteles o un vuelo o si algo quise saber , una noticia, una información o lo que sea, busqué la información o noticia en español. Incluso uso google o yt de España en español.
Hola Tom, quieres practicar tu español?, I speak both spanish and english, I can help you, and you can help me with me english, What do you think? send me your discord
Comprehensible requires more than repetition; you have to make a connection between what is being said and meaning. Usually gestures or visuals are needed.
Thanks for this vid, I didn't really grasp the whole watching the same thing multiple times thing but now I realize how useful that could be. I'll try it out.
Spanish After Hours that was bad wording by me. I meant that before watching this video I had heard about watching the same thing multiple times and that whole technique but never really understood why you would want to watch the same thing so many times instead going for variety but your video helped me understand why and I ended up trying it out today with a french video. It was great to be able to understand a full 5 minute natively spoken french video and quite motivational. Secondly your speaking speed was perfect in the video, dunno about you but I myself am not a fan of people who don't cut to the chase and do really slow paced videos. Sorry for the bad wording again, keep up the hard work please 😁
@@Astro_Fizix Ahh!! Okay!! I am so glad then!! Yeah, a lot of people told me it was too slow, but I have to agree with you, cut to the chase! And I'm so glad that you tried it!!! When you start seeing the progress is definitely motivating! For real it makes me so excited to hear about progress and even more so when it's not because you are in front of a book, but because you are diving in the language!
Hello I know that you’re not that big of a channel right now but I really appreciate the content! This video was especially very useful in my own language learning journey:) Thank you so much for your contributions to this platform :D wish you the best
Thank YOU so much!! I'm so glad you liked it! I must say though that if you are a beginner in any language at first it's going to be more difficult and the compromise needed is even bigger than for people intermediate or advanced, because for example for doing a simple shopping list if you don't know the vocabulary it's going to take you more time, but I believe taht with time and dedication everyhting is possible, so keep up the work and find new ways to get a bit of that motivation or inspiration that we sometimes really need!
WELL DONE , GREAT JOB! All the time, effort, care, and dedication that you have invested in this “your baby” really shows awesome results. Keep the good work! Can’t wait to see your next video!!!!! :-)
Late but a tip i just figured out: For any west europeans, if you wanna get your hands on spanish literature of a niche interest but struggle or its too expensive, use vinted. A lot of spanish sellers are on there, and it ships internationally.
Subscribed... I'm going to try your suggestions because I've been so lost. I will have to find someone to talk to as there is no one right now. Thank you for reading children's books. 😊
Hi Katie, I want to know, If do you want to learn Spanish with me? I could pass you my IG and help us learn more about our cultures or other things, I'm from Mexico 😄.
Just came across your channel, very useful. I’ve been using apps to learn Spanish, watching Spanish speakers on travel vlogs on RUclips and changing my Netflix settings. Hopefully I start speaking it more when I travel to practice.
Hi Oswaldo! Thanks for the offer! Of course I would love to help you with your English. Check out my RUclips channel for learning English: ruclips.net/channel/UC-uMAbe03SOoqKGq3Df8UHQ I'm from Costa Rica and I loved Ecuador when visited in 2011! Hope to go visit again soon! 😄
Lol it's crazy that I have 3 friends from the country which Spanish is spoken but til now can't speak the language.😃 Cause we talked in English everytime 😃 Anyway thank you for all your videos I love it and I learned a lot of vocab.. 💗
I've actually noticed that ,13:46 . I'm making small mistakes in English as I get better at French. I only listen to French radio now , no English at all. I'm moving to Quebec City in future and will NEED French , not English , so It's maybe not a bad thing ! Sadly , Spanish for me is just a side study because too much of it interferes with my French vocabulary . Your channel is my last link with Spanish . Maybe some day I will pursue It also with as much intensity as I study my French .
Just discovered your channel and I’ve already subscribed! I’m learning Spanish and I found your tips so useful!! Can’t wait to check your other vids out!
Hello! I found your channel by chance so I like it because I want to teach Spanish in the future and your videos give me ideas, Yo hablo español y me gustan los idiomas, sé italiano, portugués e inglés y estoy estudiando catalán y francés. Bueno, tus consejos están muy bien, una forma que yo hago es ver series o podcast sin subtítulos y después los veo una segunda vez con subtítulos en el idioma que estoy aprendiendo. Buen trabajo!!! Saludos!!!👌
I’ve mentioned my thanks for your videos before but thanks again. Your channel is a wonderful addition to my learning quest. Another source I might suggest for other beginners, like me, are the PEPPA PIG cartoons that are dubbed in Spanish. They are short, have lots of contextual cues and easy dialog plus a limited, somewhat predictable vocabulary set.
For the listening practice, I'm doing exactly what you are suggesting. I've downloaded a lot of MP3 files out of RUclips channels, most of them are between 10 to 30 minutes. And then I listen to them again and again. Once I get bored, I move on to the next one. I'm following another "comprehensible input" Spanish channel called "Dreaming Spanish" where Pablo suggests just listening and delay reading and speaking to a much later time. He says the speaking will come natually later. And by delaying reading and speaking, you'll have a better accent which is closer to native. What do you think about this? He has a blog entry named "Dreaming Languages - 2 Kinds of Foreign Accent? What?" I'd love to know your opinion on it.
I also do the file downloading and listen to them until I get bored!! Each time I listen to it I understand more and more, so it's pretty helpful!! :) As for delaying reading and speaking, with reading I agree! Specially if the alfabet is different, it's much easier to read if you already know what the words mean! As for speaking, I would say definitely get a language partner, and have them describe pictures to you! Little by little you start asking questions about the words or the pictures (this is what I did!) And after a few months we transitioned very naturally into a frankenstein kind of speaking!! hahah
Tell me! What did you think? ¿Qué te ha parecido?
Me encanta tus videos!
@@anandgoyal Gracias!! Me alegro que sean de utilidad! :)
I really did pick up a lot of new things tysm ill surely try those out and also, im looking forward to your future videos

books, newspaper, magazines
3) find a language partner/parent 4:15
4) consistency 6:27
5) make a calendar for language learning activities 7:34
6) make sets on Quizlet of vocabulary to learn 8:05
7) do things in spanish 9:25
thoughts, shopping list, phone language
8) sticky notes 11:14
9) make mistakes 12:15

thank you for this 🙏
You speak English really well but gosh you speak so fast. If I could speak Spanish half as well as you speak English I would be a happy guy. 🙂👍🇪🇸🇬🇧
Yeaah! I admit I spoke quite fast in that video!! (If I didn't it would have been super long!!)
@@spanishafterhours I don't think you spoke too fast at all. It was easy to understand and probably the same pace at which I speak English.
Spanish and Japanese are the two fastest spoken languages in todo el mundo.

I'm moving to Quebec City in future and will NEED French , not English , so It's maybe not a bad thing ! Sadly , Spanish for me is just a side study because too much of it interferes with my French vocabulary . Your channel is my last link with Spanish . Maybe some day I will pursue It also with as much intensity as I study my French .
10:52 hahaha I was like this mak... wait... what are those things? Great video by the way... good advice.
Your Hair Looks Great!!!
Just discovered your channel and I’ve already subscribed! I’m learning Spanish and I found your tips so useful!! Can’t wait to check your other vids out!
Nice!! I'm glad it helps!!
Really good advise! Thanks…I’m at the intermediate plateau everyone talks about…feeling stuck and hard to stay motivated
How to apply Spanish speaking speed to english🤣
Great video Laura 👍🙂
HAHHAHHHAHAHA
Hello! I found your channel by chance so I like it because I want to teach Spanish in the future and your videos give me ideas, Yo hablo español y me gustan los idiomas, sé italiano, portugués e inglés y estoy estudiando catalán y francés. Bueno, tus consejos están muy bien, una forma que yo hago es ver series o podcast sin subtítulos y después los veo una segunda vez con subtítulos en el idioma que estoy aprendiendo. Buen trabajo!!! Saludos!!!👌
I’ve mentioned my thanks for your videos before but thanks again. Your channel is a wonderful addition to my learning quest. Another source I might suggest for other beginners, like me, are the PEPPA PIG cartoons that are dubbed in Spanish. They are short, have lots of contextual cues and easy dialog plus a limited, somewhat predictable vocabulary set.
Muchas gracias!
Thanks for the tips
For the listening practice, I'm doing exactly what you are suggesting. I've downloaded a lot of MP3 files out of RUclips channels, most of them are between 10 to 30 minutes. And then I listen to them again and again. Once I get bored, I move on to the next one.
I'm following another "comprehensible input" Spanish channel called "Dreaming Spanish" where Pablo suggests just listening and delay reading and speaking to a much later time. He says the speaking will come natually later. And by delaying reading and speaking, you'll have a better accent which is closer to native. What do you think about this?
He has a blog entry named "Dreaming Languages - 2 Kinds of Foreign Accent? What?" I'd love to know your opinion on it.
I also do the file downloading and listen to them until I get bored!! Each time I listen to it I understand more and more, so it's pretty helpful!! :)
As for delaying reading and speaking, with reading I agree! Specially if the alfabet is different, it's much easier to read if you already know what the words mean! As for speaking, I would say definitely get a language partner, and have them describe pictures to you! Little by little you start asking questions about the words or the pictures (this is what I did!) And after a few months we transitioned very naturally into a frankenstein kind of speaking!! hahah
where do you find these? Any recommendations?
You always bright up my day whenever I watch your videos. Thank you for this vid! very informative.
great and wonderful suggestions, I started learning Spanish on own and looking for a partner to share the language.
La última parte sobre errores es mi favorita 😃
GRACIAS POR TODO!
just found your Chanel, i am looking forward to your recommendations for the listening books
Thank you very much for the tips and help.
Of course! Any questions you may have, ask away!
This video was so good that I pooped myself.😊
Thank you for your tips! An English nugget for you, it is hanged, not hung. A very common mistake among native English speakers :P
