This might be a bit of a challenge for anyone coming to Spanish from Portuguese, Italian, or Romanian, because those three languages only inherited "multum" from Latin (Portuguese "muito," Italian "molto," and Romanian "mult."), so their cognates for "mucho" (which also comes directly from "multum") have to do double-duty as the equivalent of both "mucho" AND "muy." But your explanation is very clear, Professor Jason. Well done!
Thanks for the videos, I started taking Spanish courses two weeks ago, and watching your lessons along with my class makes the experience more enjoyable. This lesson in particular was awesome, I can't wait to share my new knowledge with my classmates!
I always love when I see a new video from you in my subscription list! Your lessons are always clear and helpful. You put a lot of thought and effort into them. I really appreciate it :)
Jesus! Los Videos son excelente... pero alquien necesita indicar solo los erores... no one nadie es perfecto... he aprendido mucho desde los videos y le profesor... gracias
@fruaanaes that's a good point, I DO make a mistake at that point, but actually we are BOTH wrong. Muy is not directly modifying the vers cantar or correr; it actually modifies bien and rápido, but these are ADVERBS not adjectives. Thanks.
this video really helps me in spanish,i know now the difference between "muy" and "mucho" see if this is right:yo amo el futbol muchisimo: well muchas gracias
nini073210 : In answer to your question you would say: No me gusta mucho. Remember muy means very and is used to describe adjectives or action verbs. In the case of Ella escribe muy bien- you are saying how well she writes or if you said for ex: El cocina muy mal you are saying how bad he cooks. Mucho,like Prof. Jason said decribes a quantity or how much an action is done,ex:Pedro come mucho,so mucho means a lot.
I really loved this video...untill I discovered misleading mistakes :-(. Muy is NOT modifying the verbs! Two examples are given as to how muy modifies the verbs: Luis canta muy bien AND Anna corre muy rápido In these two examples muy does in fact NOT modify the verbs "cantar" and "correr" as the profesor says...it modifies the adverb "bien" (canta bien...canta muy bien....you cannot say Luis canta muy!) and the adjective rápido (corre rápido...corre muy rápido...you cannot say Anna corre muy
Thanks for bringing clarity to these two words.
great video. Your examples are clear and short and therefore allow for a better understanding.

very good video - I really likes the exercises at the end
Very helpful, thank you!
Your videos are very helpful. Keep it up!
Perfect! I think I'll get it right every time from now on. That was muy claro!
Finally I get muy and mucho - well explained. Thanks!
I made a mistake with this while commenting on a different Spanish lesson video. Thank you for this lesson.
@ScientiaVeritasEtLux true, not a huge issue, but I've had some requests on this one, how are things, E?
Enjoying your series, however I have a question. How can I view the series in order??
this video really helps me in spanish,i know now the difference between "muy" and "mucho" see if this is right:yo amo el futbol muchisimo: well muchas gracias
How would you say "I don't like it very much?" would you use muy and mucho together, or just one?
Hmmm I never had difficulties with mucho and muy, but maybe it's because French is my first language :/ mucho = beaucoup / muy = très
@cosmetica529 anytime, you know you're my sweetest student ;) enjoy!
Gracias.
excelente...ahora entiendo la diferencia
Bravo!!!
Gracias!
What I keep missing up on is using muy or mucho regarding weather. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Which example exactly do you mean and why is in not grammatical?
Thanks! :)
Yes, should be "toca la guitarra" -- just a typo.
Muy bein!

Remember muy means very and is used to describe adjectives

saying how bad he cooks.
Mucho,like Prof. Jason said decribes a quantity or how much an action
is done,ex:Pedro come mucho,so mucho means a lot.
I'm native Spanish speaker and I'm learning English, I am looking for someone who practice English with me and I'll practice Spanish whit you.
A Daniela le gusta mucho cocinar or A Daniela le gusta cocinar mucho is also valid.
yes
