I’ve just spent many hundreds of dollars on Preply, lingoda, lingopie etc And by far I have learned more from your free videos than any other source. You even pause for us to repeat and practice which I greatly appreciate. As others have already stated, but I will repeat… You are the best teacher by far!! Muchas gracias maestro 🎉
I'm a spanish teacher for foreigners and your channel helps me a LOT. It's always important to put yourself in the shoes of a non-spanish speaker trying to learn the language. Thank you very much.
When you said, you're probably saying it with me right now, I was lol. For me these are the best videos for learning Spanish. You really know how to break it down and explain it. Thanks so much!
I love your enthusiasm, I love the pleasant introductory music, I love how you work with the computer generated charts to insure your verbal explanations are accurate. We are so lucky to have you as our professor.
Hola Dr. Danny, I found myself laughing out loud with you when you were talking about hablaba and it made me think back to when I was taking lessons in class at the Spanish institute in Manchester. Your teaching method and clarity of explanation is what makes me a dedicated student of your lessons. The great advantage your method has for me is that during class based lessons I couldn't take good notes and listen to the teacher's explanations at the same time, whereas I just pause, rewind and repeat as required to gain maximum benefit from your lessons. The only element I miss is that I am not speaking Spanish at the moment and this is something I have to address. P.S. escribiendo mi cuaderno di tablas!
i am a new spanish online learner and i can tell you for sure,none of my techers in primary,secondary and university can match up to your level of content delivery...i really enjoy learnin with you .thanks
i have completed 50 lessons from starting and understand every thing and my goal is to complete all videos from full lessons thank you so.... so.... so.... much sir hands off to you.
I enjoy your channel and trying to learn Spanish as I commute to work/home. The only issue is I am 8 min into the video and arrived to my destination and I have not heard a single Spanish word just yet but English grammar. I am pretty sure thats helpful for many though. I believe making short video and to the point when you can see the example of the subject matter right away would interest some people as well. Much appreciated. Thanks for your channel and hard work.
The best explanation I have heard defining the difference between the preterite and imperfect is to think of it like time flowing as a river the _ongoing_ flow of the river is the imperfect from left to right. But the stones / pebbles / bricks to cross the river are single points in the river. If you're referring to the flow of the river, it's imperfect (it all looks the same / very similar), but the pebble is only in one place
Muchas gracias! Simple and clear🙂 I didn't learn English grammar when I started improving my English. Now, it makes me learn it. I'm learning English ang Spanish at the same time. Thanks for teaching both!
Soy mentora en desarrollo literario y lingüístico y ahora estoy dándome el chance de enseñar español y puedo decir que tus videos son muy buenos, te felicito! A pesar de que no sos nativo del idioma, sos capaz de explicar de manera clara y sencilla la gramática de tan complicado idioma, mis respetos Dr. Evans, keep it up!
To be honest, you're so much better than my Spanish teacher. She sent us 2 videos (this was one) to prepare us for a test. If she took 3 hours to do this with us, I still wouldn't know it as well as if I watched this. Thanks so much!!!
I love you, you are THE BEST teacher I've ever come across. Thank you SO SO much for all your help over the last year. I recommend your channel to every person I meet who is learning Spanish
I'm like an eager learner with this man. I was saying to myself, I know he's going to provide a chart, and when it appeared, I lost it! LOL......I love this guy! Best teacher ever!!!!
Just yesterday i tried to understand the song Nunca vas a comprender by Rita Payes. Noticed a strange ending : Tu me hablabas del amore. Now I know what is it about. Thank you Master Danny! You are the best teacher no doubt!
Hi Dan! I have been working on my Spanish (seriously) for the last three years. I lived in Guatemala for a year and then went to Oaxaca. Guatemalan Spanish is so different from Mexican Spanish. Mexicans use a lot of slang or local idioms. I'm trying to nail down the preterite vs. imperfect and your lessons are so helpful. Thank you. Thank you.
This has helped me so much. This video in particular has opened up so much more and can become more free with my speaking now. Can also understand what people are writing to me ie: iba, ibas, viea, veias, era, eras etc.,) it’s all starting to expand now!!
This is a fabulous series, thank you so much. I found this today after previously watching the AIB videos. You have already helped me learn so much even after just one day.
Dr Danny delivering the goods!!! Your helping me so much right now! Ps! I’m in Peru! I been travelling South America for 9 months and I love your videos! :)
You are so incredibly helpful, I love the simplicity and layout and your message comes across clear and concise! You'll be at 100k subs in a year or two, guaranteed!
Thank God, I learned French before learning Spanish. I only needed to know the endings. The concept behind this stays the same :D 😭 The mental reshuffling I had to go through for learning and understanding l’imparfait is insane.
9:13 The excitement you show about the chart matches how I feel about the chart - happy to see it because of how well it helps me understand. Thank you for the great video, and presenting this in such an understandable way.
Great work by you Dr.Danny Evans. Thanks a lot for the interesting lessons. The flow is very good ,which made me to learn 50 lessons so far. Is there any of your channel to learn , all the lessons without the starting & ending phases to learn continuously.
This just made my life so much easier. I'm currently in my second year of college Spanish and no one explained that you get rid of "used to" like you did. Thank you!
you are amazing. before i watched your video, this was extremely complicated for me. but i can say, wow!!! you turned on the lightbulb for sure! thank you so much!
This makes much more sense, I was in class the other day and was not understanding the imperfect tense, but when I came across this video it is making much more sense. Great video! Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial on the imperfect tense! I am going to subscribe and keep looking out for your spanish videos!
A really excellent video Danny - thank you for your time and efforts - you're a really excellent tutor. As a future lesson, could you create a video combining all the preterite verbs and build up using examples? Also, do you, by any chance, have a book with all these lessons?
Hola Dr.Evans . Mi nombre es Kleanna Lujille, Yo vivo en pilipinas. You are the best I love you! Also I'm only 8 yrs. old and I have learned a lot from AIB and The Language Tutor.😊😇
Hola Kleanna! Thank you so much for this message! It really made my day. I am so glad I can help you with Spanish. Keep practicing and you'll be a fluent speaker!
I speak Spanish nativaly, you should write "Me pongo nervioso haciendo frases en pasado, pero ahora viendo tu vídeo me ha ayudado mucho" Saludos desde Colombia ❤
This was very helpfull.I noticed this form of verbs when i listen to spanish songs but i could not understand that very well.Now i can.Incredible teaching methods!!
Wow!!! This is brilliant!!! You broke down the imperfect tense so well!!! This was my biggest problek but i understand it much better now. Thank you sir🙏🙏🙏
@@TheLanguageTutor Tomorrow I am working to understand how "de" works in Spanish between nouns and adjectives, how those relationships are made in Spanish compared to how they are achieved in English.
Thank you very much!!!! You help me a lot in learning Spanish. Before your videos, never had i found an motivated and easy way to study Spanish. You make Spanish interesting me
You gave us three irregular imperfect verbs at the end of this lesson. And, I have a question. Does SER, for example, change to ERA and then get conjugated or is -ERA an ending? Thank you for all that you have done for me in learning Spanish, it really means a lot to me. You are an excellent teacher!
You have to be extremely talented! That's amazing how much time you dedicate to teaching people different languages. Great explanation and examples. By the way, I've also seen your French and guitar videos. You certainly deserve more subscribers than you currently have! ¡Gracias!
Hola señor! You have made spanish so easy to understand and interesting😊....thanku for your efforts....out of interest i did some homework and came through these statements..."We would lunch together everyday" and its translation is " ALMORZÁBAMOS🤔 juntos todos los días"....and the other sentence is "The ladies would always chat in the morning" with the translation "Las señoras siempre CHARLABAN😐 por las mañanas"....can you please explain how these words came in these form.....it will be very grateful of you...muchisímas gracías por todo🙏🏻
¡Hola Dr. Evans! Me encanta mucho su estilo de enseñar. Realmente, soy estudiante de espanol y he estado aprendiendo español por alrededor de un año ahora. Así, solamente tengo un duda. No pudé entendir la segunda condición de usar el imperfecto porque recientemente aprendí el genero del pretérito indicativo... en qué yo aprendí la estructura "Estuv + é/iste/ó/imos/isteis/ieron" + EL VERBO EN EL GENERO. Así, mi duda es para saber cómo diferenciar entre "el pretérito indefinido en el genero" y "el pretérito imperfecto". ¡Muchas Gracias, profesor!
Hola! I am Mexican but I was born in Southern California. I am deaf and speak with sign language as well. I learned Spanish Second language since I was in college. I need more practice in Spanish verbs to improve.
I've really been looking forward to delving into these verb tenses. Now, I feel like I am learning/mastering the heart of the language by understanding these verb tenses.
Thank you for your videos, they are amazing and very helpful! Very detailed explanations which I personally would love to hear in Spanish. I think moving forward to learning past tenses students have enough vacabulary to understand more of Spanish.
I am retired and want to travel to Central America. I took the Elementary Spanish I & II at the local college. Right when the second part started, we went into "house arrest" with the virus. The course became an online course. I didn't want to annoy the professor with daily email questions. I found Danny Evans and was rescued. He breaks it down to terms even a caveman such as myself can understand (no offense to cavemen). With his dry humor and anecdotes, he makes learning the language fun and interesting! He is an excellent knowledge and very effective professor. Buena suerte en el futuro :-)
You are the best teacher I’ve ever met!!!! Your classes are structured and it’s so easy to learn!!! Thank you for your dedication!!
Wow, thank you!
Yes, he is great!
De acuerdo. También amo sus lecciones. 👍🏼❤️🙌🏽
D best
😊
Omg. Finally I found a Spanish teacher on TH-cam who is fluent at English and knows how to explain.
I’ve just spent many hundreds of dollars on Preply, lingoda, lingopie etc And by far I have learned more from your free videos than any other source. You even pause for us to repeat and practice which I greatly appreciate. As others have already stated, but I will repeat… You are the best teacher by far!! Muchas gracias maestro 🎉
¡Muchas gracias! So kind of you to say!
I've never seen any teacher break down Spanish grammar the way you do.👍👍 you're just amazing!
Wow! You've made my day. Thank you so much!
I'm a spanish teacher for foreigners and your channel helps me a LOT. It's always important to put yourself in the shoes of a non-spanish speaker trying to learn the language. Thank you very much.
This channel has helped me a lot . It helps with my homework and classes
Even if you were born in a country ,that speaks the language we ALL have to start from ZERO no one born knowing ,snd doing it all just practice.
At this point i just go around my house saying hablaba. I love how it sounds
trabajaba
Jajajajajaja
Gustabas la palabra hablaba 😉
I do that with paragua
Anyone that says "habalaba" isn't their favorite imperfect verb conjugation is a liar
When you said, you're probably saying it with me right now, I was lol. For me these are the best videos for learning Spanish. You really know how to break it down and explain it. Thanks so much!
Thank you Kimberly! Im so glad that you are enjoying the lessons!
its like the third or fourth time I've watched this video over a long period of tie and its finally starting to set. Dont give up hope guys!
I love your enthusiasm, I love the pleasant introductory music, I love how you work with the computer generated charts to insure your verbal explanations are accurate. We are so lucky to have you as our professor.
This is the best lesson on how and when to use the imperfect tense I've seen. Thank you!
