Good example with the wet and dry cement.
Very good video. Gracias. I'm subscribing.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for making it easy.
THANK YOU, AGAIN, TIMOTHY!
Thanks for watching!
I hear "estais" all the time from native speakers. This analysis gets the 🤔
Yes in Spain the vosotros is used a lot, but not nearly as much as the other five forms! It's definitely worth practicing if you are focused on European Spanish.
"Native speakers use only ten of them" Like really?
Native speakers use all 51 forms! (48 conjugated and 3 unconjugated.) These are just the 10 best to start practicing right away :)
Gracias por el vídeo, me mola!
Gracias por ver el video!
Thank you great video!
Thanks so much for watching it!
I love that section towards the end where you clarify the common usage of putting estar in the future. Seeing conjugations of ir used that way was a quick lightbulb moment for me. I've seen it used that way many times and didn't know what to make of it. I'm pretty excited for that lesson now.
I'm glad you liked it! We'll post that video soon!
Hi, I am a 64 years old man and I am learning spanish for 12 weeks. The past tenses and the subjonctif are very complicated and confiusing. Sometimes I want to give up because of the verbs. Thank you very much for this video
You bet! We will try to make the verbs clearer and more step-by-step! Make sure to check out the LearnCraft Spanish Podcast if you haven't yet - it breaks down every essential verb into simple lessons :)
Keep going, they get easier just dont give up.
@incognito96 I'm 66 odd and learning. Don't give up, it's worth the effort. Good luck. ¡BuenAs suerte!
Thank you for your transparency about what happened in 2022. That story shows that you really care about people becoming fluent. Many people would just focus on the successes and forget about everyone else. I am going to take your course so that I can solidify the basics. I understand Spanish pretty well and have been told that I am B1. My problem is overcoming the fear of talking to people in everyday life even if I know them personally. I don't have a problem talking to teachers. Looking forward to 2025.
Hola Timothy. Puedes hablar español?
Muchas gracias mi profe 👍
Esto video me ayuda mucho, gracias Timothy.
Yo olvide decir “que” 😢 después una lección sobre “que” 😱
It happens!
Anything can mean any thing! 🤪
Thanks for watching! And you're right 😅
GraciasTimoteo!
So much to learn, so your videos are very much appreciated. Thanks, Timothy.
Thanks for watching!
I truly don't understand how this page doesn't have more subscribers. I love the podcast and the unconventional approach, and like Language Transfer, is a free fantastic learning tool for everyone. (big respect for both) but the MAIN reason why I respect LearnCraft Spanish is that you don't pretend you can learn quickly, one year of regular practise is achievable to have decent comprehension. I HATE the TH-camrs, language "experts" trying to flog off click bait titles like "Speak fluent Spanish like a native in 3 months!" it's such bullshit and ends up being very disheartening, when surprise surprise, they don't speak like a native for after 3 months. So thank you Learn Craft Spanish for holding a more reasonable standard for someone who has a full time job and other commitments (and that you don't claim that you will speak like a native after just one year ;) haha)
Hi! Thank you so much for watching and your feedback! Learning a language is not easy, and requires time and commitment!
Is there any way to access the audio comprehension without the coaching?
Hi! We have a Listening Comprehension Course, that doesn't include coaching: masterofmemory.thrivecart.com/spanish-comprehension-course/
To get better at learning you need to hone your basic language skills. His courses made me go back to the basics of speech and grammar. I would suggest you do the same. 😊
That's a great way to put it! Thanks for your feedback!
AGREED. I needed to unlearn some incorrect grammar habits I'd picked up and this helped immensely
I have been trying for years now to learn Spanish. Yes I keep learning a little more with time but still struggle with basic conservation and understanding videos and movies, etc. I am open to a new road.
Thanks for watching, and we're excited you're considering using our method!
You've given me hope that it can be done, but I'm scared to start, that I won't follow through. I think I am going to try though.
@@PettrieVanderwarf You can do it!
I wish I could feel as convinced that I could pick up and continue the pace. The 30-day challenge was a breeze. I started the cohort and soon became overwhelmed and switched to one-on-one coaching. I backed off the pace but still felt too much pressure and wasn't getting as in-depth as I knew I should. I made it to lesson 50 when some travel plans interfered with continuing. Traveling is important to me but I can't do both. The coaching is extremely valuable. I may need to go slower and continue on my own. I will go to Mexico to study for two weeks and then decide how I will continue.
Yeah it's very hard to juggle such intensive learning with an inconsistent schedule. We're always here for you if you want the coaching, but it's also easier to get your time's worth and money's wort if you have a good chunk of time to focus deeply on it for a while and get into a good rhythm. Here to support you one way or another!
I so identify with reading and realizing how little Spanish I know.😂
Thanks for watching! It happens, but luckily that can get better!
If I am finishing the six month cohort, can I be fluent in less than a year?
Congrats on being almost done with the 6-month cohort! Yes, if you keep up the same pace for another 5-6 months, you can follow the same track I'm describing in this video. Send me an email at Timothy@LearnCraftSpanish.com and we'll make sure you have everything you need.
I’m convinced that I can do this, Timothy! I’ve followed your work for many years but never to full fluency due to lack of follow through. I’d like to change this in 2025.
Thank you for watching! And you can do it!
ok Im convinced
Thanks for watching! And yes, you can do it!
I'm convinced enough to change my approach to learning Spanish. :)
I'm curious what the biggest change is you'll be making, if you don't mind me asking!
@@learncraftspanish The biggest change will be switching from the specialized vocabulary of my interest (literature) to your top word list. I have accumulated a lot of words about literature but can't converse on the subject.
Absolutely, I am convinced. Absolutely.
Awesome! And thanks for watching!! You can do this. :)
I used a program called Lingvist to learn my first 1000 spanish words It took me about 9 month of 20 minutes per day. I realized near the end that it was mostly a waste of time becuase I had no idea what was gong on with the grammar! Once I found Learncraft Spanish, I have made leaps and bounds in my ability to speak and understand. There is ALOT more to a language than just memorizing words!
Way too intro and less information
Thanks for watching and for your feedback!
Perfect lesson….very impressed with your insight!
Glad you liked it!
Why is it le preocupa instead of la? Some sort on trasitive/intransitive, direct/indirect object thing? I'm finding I don't have a logical case for some of these grammar particulars, like why sometimes debe de and other times just debe, or ir and irse.
Great question. Some verbs fall into a category of "affective verbs", such as Gustar, Encantar, and Preocupar. These verbs always take indirect objects (le, les, etc.) rather than direct objects (lo, la, etc.).
Where's the link for this challenge?
Here's a link to the January 2025 Challenge! It covers the top one hundred words in 4 weeks. timothymoser.lpages.co/1-month-challenge/
I recently found Learn Craft through a Facebook group of others who are currently trying to learn Spanish. I have done one week of the free online course, and I am seeing a HUGE difference in my past experiences of trying to learn Spanish. I am sure that it helps that I have always been called the "grammar police" by friends and that I do remember quite a bit about English classes from school. I am looking forward to learning more as the weeks go on.
Not convinced. The speed at which Latins speak (not so much the Spanish speakers of Spain) and the way they drop loads of letters makes Spanish most difficult for me. The method you describe would not help me with comprehension of spoken Spanish. I can understand/translate about 90% of what I read in Spanish but comprehension of the spoken word is much lower, 20% maybe.
This is a great point. Typically, if you have trouble with comprehension, it's not because of words you don't know; it's because you need more practice comprehending the words you do know - especially the highest-frequency words, which native speakers run over the fastest. That's why we recommend practicing comprehension specifically within what you are able to read. For example, listen to lots of native-spoken Spanish that only uses the top 100, 200, ... 1000 words. That's what Alicia did, and it got her from 20% comprehension to 85% comprehension (see what she said at 12:01 in the video).
This is an additional tool for learning how to comfortably speak and for me it has been about breaking what I call my bad grammar habits, without some additional comprehensible input of course you won't be able to understand much. There is no one and done approach to language learning in my opinion. It's amazing that you can read it, so watching movies in Spanish with the Spanish subtitles could be a good place to start if you feel your reading is good enough to do so? Also, I have particularly been focusing on ONE accent, Argentinian, so I can understand them quite well now, but watching Mexican movies I still struggle a little. But with time I know this will get easier.
Hola Timothy , Yo tengo mucho algeria que encontre tu proceso de aprender y estudiar mi mejor espanol. Si se Puede! Gracias para todo tu apoyar y tambien tu equipo🎉!
Are you a native speaker
“lo” (#10 on the list) is so common because it has different meanings in different phrases. For example, It can be a direct object pronoun, a neuter pronoun or used with “que.” For this reason, I don’t think it’s so useful to just say “you have to learn “lo” “ because it’s on this list. I think the more useful frequency list, if it exists, would be a list of the top 1000 chunks (not sure of correct term) of words. For example, “lo + adjective” (i.e., lo bueno) would be counted separately from all the “lo”s as direct object. I could make a similar pont for "que" (#1 on the list). Such a list would be a phenomenal resource. Do you know of one?
We are building it : ) Our database catalogues every use of the top 1000 words, individually, and we're building up a collection of thousands of sentence examples (written by native speakers) so that you can choose one chunk and drill that specifically.
I'm very excited about your 2025 Challenge, Timothy! I can't thank you enough for making this available to everyone to reach their individual highest goals!
Only 1000 words? Are they all or are they mostly verbs?? Spanish to me is made of a focus on the verbs within sentences! That could be explained but it might take too much time and space! ❤ More than a thousand words. 😱
Hey, thanks for watching! These are the 1000 most used words in Spanish, so by knowing them, you will know most of the language. Plus, we teach Spanish grammar right from the get go, so you can use the words in the way native Spanish speakers use them.
DO IT, ALICIA!👊 DO IT, LISA!👏
They've done amazing!!
I have tried other methods and they have all left me feeling "inadequate" about speaking in fluency. I am excited about starting this journey and conquering the mountain that has always seemed too incredibly high. Thank you for giving me hope!!
You can do it!!
