Steve, good to hear from you mate 😃 How's things? Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. I hope things are going well with you & I might see you at the next trip, I see they're planning one in Mexico which I might go too

Good question, "he estado" is the literal translation from English. I've been to Spain a lot & they use Llevar & would never say "he estado" but there are some countries in South America that use "he estado" so you can use it depending on where you go. If you want a uniform way of saying this that works across all Spanish speaking countries though then Llevar is perfect.

Hey yes you can use Llevar in plural form as well. I just tend to use more singular examples as they're more common in a conversation. Mis padres llevan seis años trabajando en la empresa (My parents have been working in the company for 6 years)

@@spanishwithhoani 👍 Thank you

@@detamanage204 no pasa nada 👍

Sin problema 😃 espero que hayas estado bien mi amigo

Muchas gracias ☺️

@@SISI-q1l de nada 👍

Muchísimas gracias 😃

Thanks, I'm glad it helps 👍 do you mean the difference between Ser & Estar in general or when making a Comparison?

De nada, gracias por el comentario 😃

Thanks, I've made the same mistakes before so I know where you're coming from. I'm glad this helps

Sin problema 😃 thanks a lot for the comment & let me know if I can help with anything else

Muchísimas gracias 😃

Haha I'm not sure but let me know what they say. I've said it to other ppl from Columbia & Argentina and they didn't take offense to it but they weren't sure what it meant either.

Gracias mi amigo 😃

@@spanishwithhoani 👊🏻 ❤

Thanks, I'm glad it helps

Fair enough, you have to find people that resonate with you personally & that's different for everyone. I agree, I think 70-80% of your learning should come from natives, which is the case with me, most of my teachers are natives but I also learn from non natives 20% of the time as they can explain certain structures differently that make sense for me as a native english speaker. Good luck with it all

Sin problema 😃 gracias por el comentario

Hola Margaret, muchísimas gracias por la recomendación 😃 Tengo que decir 'gracias' porque somos una comunidad de personas que quieren aprender más

Thanks for the comment, yes I'm learning Spanish & the point of my channel is to help Spanish beginners who are learning the language outside of a Spanish speaking country. That's your opinion & I appreciate you for sharing that. I think I can give some value to people who are having trouble with learning the language outside of a Spanish speaking country but we'll see, I could be wrong

he can help people like me learn Spanish. i am a beginner but just like learning new words and phrases

Don’t be discouraged about any criticisms regarding pronounciation they are purists and probably proficient beyond this video anyway. But from the ‘gringos’ perspective the video has both consolidated and progressed my own Spanish knowledge so thank you….

@@markpowellmpgracias mi amigo 😃 definitely not discouraged, it's all part of the process of learning. Some ppl will find this useful & some won't and that's completely fine. Appreciate your kind words

Hey thanks for the comment. No I'm learning Spanish & just want to help others learn as I love the language. Wow I've been studying the language for years & literally just went to Barcelona last month but you're right, that's how it should be pronounced. I'm shocked none of my teachers have picked up on this as I study with them regularly every week so thanks, I can make that adjustment.

Sin problema mi amigo, es tu opinión y gracias por el comentario 👍

Hey thanks for the comment, I'm going by what I've heard native speakers say & I've heard them say "cómo te va" frequently but not "cómo te vas"... In Spain I've heard "como vas" though as well but there's so many different phrases around different Spanish speaking countries.. That's right, no pronunciation of the H

Muchísimas gracias 😃 Will do, I'm glad these are helping you in someway

Great question, it's because we have to use the present subjunctive mood in Spanish for this particular phrase. Have you heard much about the subjunctive in Spanish before?

Sin problema 😃

De nada 😃 I'm glad it helps

I'm glad it helps 😃

Thanks & that's a great idea. I'll definitely do more of these in future 👍

No worries at all, I'm glad it helps 😃

Yes that's a good idea, I'll do more of these in future as it's important to try replicate an actual conversation

👍 Do you feel like going to the cinema?

👍

Muchísimas gracias 😃

That's a great question, tener ganas is definitely more commonly used in my experience & I can't give a technical reason why you'd say "Me apetece" or "Me apetecen" (plural) but it's similar to the verb "Gustar", you'd only say these 2 forms in the present tense "Me gusta" or "me gustan" in plural form

De nada 👍 Keep practicing the basics first & this will give you a base to work from. If I can help with anything else then let me know

Sin problema 👍 It's a great language to learn as it's used in many countries. Just start with the basics first & slowly you'll start to establish a base to speak from

Thanks, Im glad it helps

Sin problema 😃

That's a great point, I'll add that to the list of other things to talk about in future. If I can help with anything else then let me know.

Gracias mi amigo 😃

Haha no I definitely won't be doing that. I'll keep everything as authentic as I can. Thanks for the comment

No worries, I'm glad this helps 😄

Thanks mate 👍 I'm from New Zealand but live in Australia & I don't have any Spanish ties etc. I've just been studying Spanish for the last 5 years & have made a few trips to Spain recently to practice/study. I'm still learning more myself with my teachers & I just like to pass on things I've learnt since I love the language but I also know first hand how hard it is to learn, when you live in a non Spanish speaking country

@@spanishwithhoani Thank you Mate!!! That is very awesome! Thank you for sharing your journey! Hoani, you could definitely pass for being Spanish!

@@RonnieWisdom thanks mate, appreciate that

Hola Rohini 😃 ¿Qué significa eso?

@@spanishwithhoani mejor

👍

Sin problema 👍 todavía estoy aprendiendo 😃

Thanks, it takes time to add it into your conversations comfortable but its simple once you get the hang of it
