Danny Evans is the best spanish teacher for me - with great charisma and variety in the language - I love his teaching method and have so much fun with learning spanish! Muchas gracias!
Maaaaaaaan…I’m a simple country boy from Arkansas who’s been learning Spanish for 20 years and you sir are without a DOUBT the most comprehensive, effective, and enjoyable Spanish teacher I’ve ever seen!!! Muchas gracias maestro! Eres mi favorito ahora!!
Hola, eres excelente explicando. Soy profe de Español pero a veces me vuelvo loca buscando cómo explicar algo y tengo que venir a TH-cam a buscar ayuda y encuentro cosas chéveres, pero tus clases me encantan y me ayudan mucho 😄😙Gracias!
I was confused, but now I understand the difference! I have been studying Spanish with your videos for 2 months now during the pandemic. Muchas gracias!!!
I just started my journey into learning Spanish about three weeks ago, and I must say, Danny Evans makes a subject that feels very overwhelming, feel much less stressful! Anytime I am learning a new aspect of the subject, I immediately look for Danny's videos and he makes each topic very understandable!
Buenas tardes, Danny. Ahora tengo un trabajo con tres hispanohablantes y ellos no tienen mucho englais. Hace tres años estoy estudiando español y la ideoma es mas clara cada dia. Los jefes aqui no hablan español. Nunca. Y a muchos veces tengo que a traducir. Me gusta mucho. A veces por y para es un problema para mi. Gracias. Tu amigo, J. Kelly👣
Great lesson, its much better when you use examples of what we learn in context... sometimes when we are taught verbs without context its difficult to imagine where they are used in conversation
The prepositions por and para, of similar etymological origin, are very common in Spanish. In general, indicates destination, purpose or final objective; indicates the cause and means through which an end is reached.
I just discovered your channel and I am blown away at how you break things down barney style and make them make sense. Read your bio on your website and saw that you were in the Corps! 'Rah, Devil Dog! I was in the Army. I work with a tutor for four hours per week and I'm always looking for more resources to use so that I can become fluent in Spanish someday. Thanks for becoming another resource for me!
Sir, I'm a little confused with the usage of 'a' in few contexts where it means 'for'.. Like the example you gave, 'Por su amor a los niños'... Why not 'por los niños?? I'm glad I found an amazing teacher!! The best part about your teaching is, you keep it simple and clear! Me gustan sus lecciones.. Muchas gracias!!
When the direct object of a verb is a specific person or pet animal, 'a' is placed immediately before it. So for your case, I believe amor is the verb of the sentence, 'a' would be placed right after it. Keep in mind though, this type of 'a' is a personal 'a'. You can do more research on that. Something to remember is that a personal 'a' is NOT used after the verb 'tener'. It's used for every other verb, however, you must include the rule that I mentioned above, which is that 'a' is placed right after the verb if the sentence contains a specific person. Hope this helped!
@@myk1137 The phrase "por su amor a los niños" is translated "for her (his) love for the children". It indicates the reason that she/he is doing something. It would more accurately be translated as doing something "because of her/his love of the children". Her/his "love of the children" is the motivation for what is being done.
Thank you! Having watched a video on the same topic on another channel, I realise that your success is in breaking your tutorials down into chunks and using clear visuals. The other big thing is that you speak at an easy to follow pace. Great teaching, thanks 😀
I am so encouraged by this episode. I am watching to get to know the use of POR and PARA. What I have found is that I am able to translate, with near perfect accuracy all of the sample sentences into Spanish. This illustrates yet again, to me how great you are Dr Evans. Thankyou so much for what you do.
Finally got the idea. Para is used when something or someone is at the receiving end of the point you're trying to make. This was the best por vs. para video I've watched so far. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was studying for a Spanish test about this in school and I came to this video because i was studying for the test. This video has been very helpful, and thank you so much!
Another great video!! I am working may through them all. Thank you for finding ways to make connections and "keep it simple". You method of teaching and subtle encouragement is the reason I feel like I CAN DO THIS... even 20yrs after high school Spanish 😊 Keep up the good work!!
Thank You So Much Professor Danny. This Video Really Clarified some of the "Fine Points" in the Usuages of POR and PARA. I LOVE Your Sample Sentences and Easy Style of Teaching Us even the most complex material. Paz y Bendeciones. Kelly
Danny, you are an absolute master of verbal and nonverbal communication. You are a 3d language teacher. Your arms are as expressive as your face, words and tone. You are also gentle on the ear!! 😊 Love your lessons online... As soon as I have this language licked, A donation is coming your way!!
Thank you for uploading your lessons , I’m a 30yr old college student learning Spanish for the first time. I honestly learn more from you than in the classroom. I would not be passing Spanish if it weren’t for your videos.
hola professor. yo aprendiendo espanol con tu. gracias para todas. it was very benefishal to learn spanish from you.i m now in paragraph 49.i have self confidence in spanis launguege. i hope you will continue to teach us at the most hay spanish like the past knowlege.thanks a lot professor.
Hola Mr. Evans, i am in love with your videos and the way that you explains not only POR vs. Para but all your videos. Super sample, and easy to understand. I always give to my students your link so they can go and review what they learned in class with me. Me encanta y gracias!
I am taking a Spanish class while in Panama for three weeks. Today we spent an entire class on por and para. After that class, face to face with an in person teacher I did not have as much clarity as I do now after watching this 14 minute video. Wow!! Now if I could just get one on muy and mucho! That would be great! LOL!
This is so great! I'm just starting to learn Spanish and I know this is more advanced but I'm living in Spain currently and hearing this all the time and not understanding except the "for" version has been driving me nuts! Your explanation is so wonderful, it's easy to understand and to the point! Thank you so much!
¡Muchas gracias! I was having some trouble with this concept when I heard and seen para/por used in many sentences and couldn’t figure out why. Your video (and a couple of other Spanish videos/websites) helped clarify those differences for me very well! Again, thank you so much for your teaching! 🤗👍
it's always soo reassuring when you need something clarifying in Spanish, and you type it into youtube and see that The language tutor has made a video on it haha. Thank you!
I discovered your videos and podcasts recently, and boy am I glad I did! I love how you tackle one topic at a time, explaining it simply and clearly. Your verb chart has been a game changer for me, also how you group those pesky pretérito irregular verbs, I finally feel I have half a chance of remembering some of them! Muchas gracias por dar tan generosamente de su tiempo, es muy apreciado.
glad i found you again, i watched your videos on AIB then lost track of you until I found this new channel.. wish you can combine the 2 channels so nobody will lose track of you. thanks for your amazing lessons, They help me reinforce the spanish that I am learning from school.
Hey!! In a perfect world that would be great, but AIB has control of that channel. And we wanted to do things a little different for you guys so we created our own.
Thank you very much for this video. It helps a lot. One thing that could make it more effective is a very short/quick recap at the end of the lesson. For example, a brief statement of when each is used. Thank you very much for these lessons.
The differences between por and para was initially quite challenging for me. But eventually, I encountered enough differences to remember them, and also remember their meanings. And at times, the differences can be very subtle. It's the sort of thing which is best learned by the particulars in a text book in a classroom setting.
Muchas gracias senor Danny. Usted un maestro magnífico. Mi idioma nativo no es ingles. Soy de Bangladesh. Mi lengua nativa es Bangla pero me gusta mucho aprender espanol. and love you Danny. You are a great teacher.
Really really great, helpful and correctly expressed are these lessons, I have started practicing the language, though some hassles are there, still people are able to understand me. Also I ask close persons to correct me. thank you for very very very wonderful lessons
Wow, I just started your Spanish lessons on AIB (Excellent teaching btw!). Then I started wondering when to use por and para and was surprised you didn’t cover it. Lo and behold, you have another channel. I’m a happy woman again.
Thank you so much Charnelle! It's been several years since I filmed for AIB so I may have covered it in that series, but they only post a certain number of videos on TH-cam. I appreciate your kind comments and I'm really happy I can help you.
When “para” follows a verb regarding a deed, that probably typically means a good deed, but when “por” follows a verb in that case, that means “instead of” (which I either think of as someone’s having the wrong idea on trying to help me with something I either want to learn to do or can already do on my own and therefore don’t invite those people to do or as someone’s being my substitute when I know how to do something and just temporarily can’t do it).
We also used por to explain the reason for doing something when we talked about mom wants to Be a teacher for her love to her kids, why did not we use Para instead ? Thanks prof
Danny Evans is the best spanish teacher for me - with great charisma and variety in the language - I love his teaching method and have so much fun with learning spanish! Muchas gracias!
Diana, thank you so much for supporting the channel! So glad that I'm able to help you on your journey to learning Spanish!

Agree I've tried other channels and still didn't get it after a 20 minutes video
it's been 20 years , why you haven't learned español till now ? i thought we could learn a language in 3 to 4 years
You are THE BEST Spanish teacher on TH-cam. Thank you!
Thank you! 😃

Por seems generally to describe a means or cause (via, thru, etc.) while para generally describes a purpose/aim.
Yes, more or less.

Dr. I'll need a work book or an app or something from you!! You are too good at your craft!

Her love to children.Don't forget that "for" means "to" as well.They tend to use "to" more than "for" in places where you can put both for and to.

So for your case, I believe amor is the verb of the sentence, 'a' would be placed right after it. Keep in mind though, this type of 'a' is a personal 'a'. You can do more research on that.

@@unusualle4326 Amor isn't even a verb there.You're right on everything else but amor is a name. You cannot conjugate it so it's not a verb.

I look at "Por" as a replacement for "Per or Via". That helps me.

Like whenever you are signifying movement without using a verb you use por? DOes that work? Also greatlesson! It really helped me out!
Thank you Dr. Danny
Thank you for watching!!
Dr Evans you are the best teacher! I now get para and por, but how do I use porque?

Excellent lesson.

Por is used in place of 'by' when expressing dimensions. Dos por cuatro por ocho. 2 x 4 x 8 (lumber)
We also used por to explain the reason for doing something when we talked about mom wants to Be a teacher for her love to her kids, why did not we use Para instead ? Thanks prof
Gracias.Prof. what about the use of "POR" for transportation.Eg,Viajo por tren cada dia
Excelente Danny muchas gracias 😊
So, motivation for doing something seems to be both por and para? Is it either or and can you choose?
A complicated one!
Gracias para la lección it was good
Muchas Gracias! Love your videos!
I watched your video for the first time. I liked the way you taught.
Thank you! 😃
A million thumbs up for this video. 👍
