Wow I swear for whatever reason, every time I finish one of your videos I always think, "SO THAT'S IT? WHY DOES MY TEACHER MAKE IT SO MUCH MORE CONFUSING THAN IT HAS TO BE?" This makes it so much more simplistic. Thank you so much.
I'm nearly 50 and back in college. I made it to Intermediate Spanish I and have started suffering from complex migraines. I've been struggling so much and watching videos over and over between headaches. Your video has helped this concept finally click! Thank you!
The white board is great. :) This lesson came at a great time. We just covered this in my class, but after watching the video, I understand it 10x better. Thanks!
My spanish teacher actually made this homework to watch. It was very helpful I love the whiteboard method and I will be sure to look at all the other videos to improve my spanish. Gracias!
Thanks Professor Jason. I have become addicted to your presentations. The whiteboard technique is an excellent idea and I am all for it. Excellent presentations , I have always found the Imperative mood somewhat difficult to master. Thanks again y ! Hasta Luego!
VERY useful, I've been sleeping plenty and have been missing the little rules.. this summed up hours of lesson and activities from my teacher in just minutes. Thank you so much, and YES THE WHITEBOARD TECHNIQUE WORKS
Excellent! I really like the whiteboard -- it's so much easier to read and keep up with than the yellow captioning. Great review, easy to follow. Thanks for making these!
Thank you Professor Jason this is prefect for helping me study for my Spanish 3 midterm. Yo have probably saved my grade, and you have saved me a lot of stress and grey hairs.
Hola otra vez, I'm a fan of the whiteboard. I also enjoyed your sense of humour in this one. What I find confusing a little bit is when the technical term is thrown in for the verb tense during the explanations. For me, I like to remember verb tenses for their purpose instead of their technical name (i.e. "commands" instead of the imperative). You make my life overseas a little easier!
I really like it when you use the white board. With the Corona closing all my college on campus classes I'm kinda teaching myself Spanish 102. I wish my professor would make videos like this!
MY APOLOGIES! Dear Professor Jason, first, thank you so much for the absolutely EXCELLENT SPANISH LESSONS you have so very painstakingly and generously produced and uploaded on TH-cam! Unfortunately I must remove this video lesson - one of 10 videos in the series - from my playlist because the noisy introductory music wakes me from my sound slumber. Please note that I listen to your excellent series of intermediate- and advanced-level Spanish videos before falling asleep every night. Although I don't really believe in "sleep learning," I often leave the videos on whenever I go back to bed. Meanwhile, some of the other lessons that begin with much softer music do not disturb my sleep at all. Again, thank you so much for your extreme generosity.
For those who wonder about the irregular verbs, fortunately, there are only six of them, they're among the most commonly-used verbs in the language, and they're really only irregular in the positive tú-form: ir (ve), ser (sé), hacer (haz), decir (di), venir (ven), and tener (ten). In all other forms (negative tú commands and both positive and negative usted/ustedes, nosotros/as, and vosotros/as commands), they follow the normal rule of borrowing from the Present Subjunctive.
Very clear, effective presentation. I like the whiteboard, but you might want to angle a light from the side in addition to back lighting to eliminate the shadow. Thanks so much!
great video! for some reason my class is learning the commands before the subjunctive, so this helped a lot. I do like the whiteboard technique. Thank you.
Professor Jason, Thank you very much for your videos. It's really good and explained very well. I think this video is a bit difficult because of the topic itself. it takes some time for me to understand and remember.
Thanks for the very helpful lesson. Can you explain a little more about vamonos versus vayamonos? I have read both that vamonos is grammatically correct (as you show in your lesson) and that vamonos is a colloquial form of vayamonos, which follows the subjunctive tense rule. Vayamos would be the command form of Ir and vayamonos would be the command form of Irse. Did grammar and common usage diverge? Thanks for any clarification and for the very helpful videos!
I read somewhere a long time ago that 'usted' comes from 'vuestra merced' = 'your honor' (although it sounds more like 'your mercy' to me - maybe that's what they mean by 'throwing yourself on the mercy of the court' :), and so the abbreviation for 'usted' is 'Vd'. I noticed that Prof. Jason wrote 'Ud'. Are these two abbreviations considered equivalent or is one considered more formal or proper than the other? vuestra merced --> vuesarced --> vusarced --> vusted; still used by some old folks.
Thank you ver y much this lesson It was very helpful to me and YES, the white board helps so much because i can't always hear the difference and it is super clear if I see it written. One question, "Escribamos la carta", if I wanted to us the pronoun to say. "Let's write it", would I say "Escribamosla" or "La Escribamos"? Gracias.
I love your videos. Can you please not erase everything you write down? As a learner; it’s easier to make connections and retain information when one sees the information on the whiteboard as you teach each topic. For example, you went over how to form the subjunctive and then quickly erased it! Thanks again for your fantastic videos
Hello Professor Jason, Thanks for your lesson; however, I still have a question. When you are doing the NOSOTROS AFFIRMATIVE command at the end of the video, why is the present subjunctive form of sentarse Sentemonos, instead of SIENtemonos (since we are supposed to conjugate the verb into the YO form)? Thank you very much! Danny
He was using the nosotros form ("Let's"). Present Subjunctive: yo siente tú sientes él/usted siente nosotros sentemos vosotros sentéis ellos/ustedes sienten
Wow I swear for whatever reason, every time I finish one of your videos I always think, "SO THAT'S IT? WHY DOES MY TEACHER MAKE IT SO MUCH MORE CONFUSING THAN IT HAS TO BE?" This makes it so much more simplistic. Thank you so much.
hahaha, Muchas gracias, lidaiscool I'm sure your teacher does just fine! Thanks for watching!

You are so much more helpful than my actual Spanish teacher. The whiteboard technique is amazingly helpful! What a great review for my test :)
It's excellent how you reviewed the difference between "you" in Spain and Latin America--very nice. Thanks.
Thanks Professor Jason. I have become addicted to your presentations. The whiteboard technique is an excellent idea and I am all for it. Excellent presentations , I have always found the Imperative mood somewhat difficult to master. Thanks again y ! Hasta Luego!

Lee Cox, great! Thank for this! Very helpful.
Very good. You are a great teacher
Muchas gracias!
Very clear, effective presentation. I like the whiteboard, but you might want to angle a light from the side in addition to back lighting to eliminate the shadow. Thanks so much!
gracias profesor Jason. The white board technique works for me. Could you also upload a video on relativos y preposiciones. Gracias
Whiteboard works for me... I like a practice quiz to be included in the lesson..love the lessons!
"how to tell people to do things" my specialty
Emily Merrill hahaha hope this helped!

Professor Jason, Thank you very much for your videos. It's really good and explained very well. I think this video is a bit difficult because of the topic itself. it takes some time for me to understand and remember.
Very helpful! Thank you!
thank you for this video!! so helpful!
cerrar is a stem-changing verb which means it changes to "cierre" in the present yo form.
holy shit thats pretty clear!
+Johnny Lewczyk That's what I do!
Thank you so much! This is really going to help me with an upcoming test.
Great video! Thanks so much!
thank you, this is helping me pass spanish
I was wondering about irregular tu commands with ser, estar saber ...etc would I use sea, este, and sepa?
I have my final exam coming up, thanks for the review! Loved it!
You're the man keep on doing the white board technique
Thanks for the very helpful lesson. Can you explain a little more about vamonos versus

better than my teacher... and I'm in college spanish. Also a quarter of the time.
This just saved my test grade. Thank you so much
We like that Spanish music at the beginning. Is there any way we can get all of it?
again, very helpful thanks :)
this is so much clearer than my teacher
Do you have a lesson on the irregular informal commands, like poner, venir.....??
The white board technique is very helpful.
you just saved my test grade thank you so much!
i like the white board technique very much!
Muchas gracias, cosmética, A+ para ti!
muchas gracias! antes, esta leccion fue muy dificil para mi pero ahora, es facil.
i have a test tmw on the imperative and YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE! :"D
Great lessons! I like the white board though the lighting could be better (watch where the shadow from your hand falls)! Gracias!
I know this is 10 years late but the whiteboard method is A++

You're welcome! "Escribámosla."

Hello Professor Jason,

Thank you very much!
Danny
He was using the nosotros form ("Let's"). Present Subjunctive:
yo siente
tú sientes
él/usted siente
nosotros sentemos
vosotros sentéis
ellos/ustedes sienten
Yo me siento
tú te sientas
él se sienta
nosotros nos sentamos, etc, etc
Don't confuse sentar with sentir
this has helped me alot
this was very useful
Muchas gracias,me gusta
you are the best! thank you :D
