This video made me realize how much more I listen to people from South America, and how little I listen to people from Spain. I am able to understand everything in this video, but it takes me a little bit more effort to understand. I should start listening to people from Spain a little bit more often so that understanding Spaniards becomes more automatic for me.
Hola tenemos un grupo en donde hay nativos que hablan español, ellos quieren aprender Inglés y ustedes Español, se podría hacer un intercambio de conocimientos aquí les dejo el link del grupo: chat.whatsapp.com/1BoqdWvcK5QAtZROrhE1by Hello everyone we've a group where there are English and Spanish native speakers, They want to learn English and you Spanish, we could make a knowledge exchange, here is the group link: chat.whatsapp.com/1BoqdWvcK5QAtZROrhE1by
I was getting really, really discouraged and then I opened my eyes and saw that this was 4.5/5 difficulty. Now I feel better because I was able to actually pick out some words!
Kevin Harris I, m a native Spanish speaker , and he speaks really fast , and doesn't articulate the vowels clear .For non natives he is hard to understand.
I am born in the US and learned Spanish due to my Cuban mother and family. My mother has been gone a long time and I have few opportunities to speak Spanish on a regular basis. I could understand every word! thanks mom!
I used to think my Spanish wasn't very good just because I was born in the USA and don't speak it outside the home but I keep coming back to this video and realize I can understand him basically 99% . The accents from Spain are quite difficult but my grandpa has a very thick Sinaloan accent where he talks fast and slurs his words so I guess I have heard worse, lmao
Vivo en España por casi 7 meses, soy de Florida, y español es mi segundo idioma. Es verdad que hay una variedad acentos de diferentes o lo rápido que la gente habla allá.
Being an American living in the midwest, I am used to hearing Mexican Spanish so that Castilian is a little harder for me to understand, but I'm coming along listening to such talks as this. Thanks to LightSpeed Spanish.
Para mi es muy dificil entender que Guillermo dice, pero creo que mas o menos entendi lo mas importante de la conversacion. Muchas gracias por estos videos - es la ayuda grande para mi.
Maia Petrova Según la R.A.E. ( Real Academia Española) es " una persona contratada para dar información y ayudar a los participantes de congresos, exposiciones, etc., o que asiste al presentador y al público en un programa de televisión".
this is interesting - i started spanish from zero on march 13 2017 - i am fluent in french as well as english - after four and a half months of fairly intensive study, two or three hours a day, but no one around me who knows the language - i was beginning to think i was getting good at comprehension, and then i hear this guy after a second listen i can understand about forty percent, not really enough to make much sense - after a third listen some parts are suddenly fully understandable like getting busted for drinking in the street - but other parts are still gibberish with a fourth listen, my faith is restored and i understand enough to keep me plugging plugging away and try to train my ear before attempting to speak it because i'm kind of lazy with the rules
Whilst I can agree with the comments from 'holopinieo1' (except that my non-understanding of this chap was more 99%) I guess this does give us an insight to how 'real' Spanish people speak and the different accents that are out there...At the end of the day I remember what an old and valued Spanish teacher once told me...."stretching your Spanish is what makes it grow and flourish. Keep at it..."... Wise words indeed...
I couldn't stop staring at him from the second he started talking! He's absolutely one of the most beautiful men alive! Holy crap, nearly made me bite the end of my tongue off just looking at his beautiful, perfect face! Someone said he was talking. I didn't notice. All I hear are angel's singing.
It is honestly so hard for me to understand an accent from Spain. I couldn't understand 85% of what Guillermo said. My mother is from Colombia and unfortunately didn't teach me Spanish. I'm more used to the Bogota accent than any other.
holipinieo1 That's purely a question of becoming familiar with an accent. Repetition is a great way. Just keep listening. You will pick up more and more. :)
holipinieo1 I am also so much more used to the Latin American accent. I didn’t learn as a kid from my Mom either (she is Nicoyan) but I’ve taught myself to an advanced level. When I came to Spain I was so surprised it was so hard for me to understand them, so I started only talking to people from Latin America. Lol I’ve been here for four months and it’s still hard!!! I need to try harder but they speak so damn fast and mumbled.
You're one brave soul putting yourself in front of the camera with this dude! Don't get me wrong, you're a handsome man Gordon, but this is another level, lol. I think even David Beckham avoids this guy! :)
+Logotha Ironsides I cheated a little bit here because I downloaded the video so that I can play it in VLC because if you click on VLC's playback menu, you can slow it down and down(which is not possible in youtube ). So poor gordon is drawling along in slow motion in order for me to hear guillermo more clearly. I shall be playing this one back and back until I can do it without slow motion!
El hombre bala se le entiende pero yo no puedo hablar asi tu cerebro explota no puede capturar tanta informacion al mismo tirmpo ja ja ja bravo gordon hasta tu te quedas sorprendido.
Esta vez me fue mucho mejor que hace un ano. Probablemente es el mejor "benchmark" video en youtube. No voy a mentir, necesitaba poner mucha atenction cuando estaba escuchando. El verdadero problem es que todavia me falta mucho vocabulario basico.
Asi es como se habla normalmente en españa Soy español nativo That is how you normally speak in Spain I am native Spanish (sorry if there is something wrong in the translation xd)
Ok this is just too weird now I have to say something hahaha. So I've been watching your videos for a while, not really realising where you're from (Gordon) and then I heard you big up 'Ocean Road' and I couldn't stop laughing. I sent the video to my brother who also speaks Spanish, in disbelief as we too are massive fans of going for curries there. We were born there (not Ocean Road but Shields) but raised in Jarrow. Anyway I'm doing my Erasmus year and work in a school here in Madrid in ... Torrejón de Ardoz. Out of all the places in Madrid, it's quite surreal to happen twice hahaha. Anyways thanks to you guys for your videos, they're very helpful and I really appreciate them! Cheers! Jack
Jack Traynor Hey, Jack. Wow. Now that is a big coincidence. jajaja. You don't get many of them to the pound! Hey, we are in Torrejón in April. Will you still be there. We should meet up and make a video about your experiences in Spain and perhaps talk about the coincidence. Let us know.
Jack Traynor We are there in July. For good! So, perhaps we can meet up when we are at Cynthia's parents' house. Don't worry about the vid in Spanish. It will inspire many students to hear you talking in Spanish and living out there. And... I'm getting good at curtting out the errors. I make plenty. jeje.
I started learning spanish in 2018, just playing on duolingo, i picked up the ords, and i have decent vocab, i took a course on university but my problem is with listening, i can read, speak okay but with listening its very difficult to pick up, especially since spaniards tend to under pronounce and swallow their words.
From all the years teaching and, of course, learning, the conclusion that I have arrived to is that all speakers (even English speakers) under pronounce and swallow their words (at least some times). We just all do. What we need to do is to tune our ears to the sounds. If your problem is listening, then, immerse yourlself as much as possible in Spanish, Kevin ;) Cx
I can't help but wonder what this would sound like in a much more informal environment. Informal as in two buddies hanging out and maybe drinking a few beers kind of informal.
@@LightSpeedSpanishChannel That actually might be a brilliant environment to use for a Spanish conversation video. You could help people learn how to engage in a conversation that is taking place in a rather noisy environment.
As spaniard i would say he is not a fast speaker at all, lets say average speed, he makes a lot of pauses for example, wich i think makes easier to understand for a learner of the language. I talk more or less like him but there are a lot of people that talks faster than this in Spain.
Haha, I was trying so hard to understand what he was saying that when you asked him something else I suddenly thought you'd asked it in English Gordon. I even skipped back to check I wasn't going mad lol. La diferencia entre escuchando a tú y a los nativos es todavia enorme para mí. :( Pero entiendo bien por qué... Necesito prestar más tiempo praticando escuchar. Lo siento por mi español.
i dont even think its the speed thats confusing me just the accent, ive watched videos in neutral spanish even faster than this and i can watch it without esforzarme forgot that word in english but yea
The guy that speaks faster seems more natrual and knows exactly what he's thinking and wants to say. The slower speaker seems confused and has to think if his words.
Estoy en clase de español. Tengo estado en clase de español para dos meses. Mi idioma nativo es inglés. Mi profesora de español aprendio español en la españa y no intiendo una palabra de lo que dice....
Im a spanish language student, i find it more difficult to understand Guillermo's spanish than those of the Latin americans'. I understood your conversation but "halfway" only. Hola, Sr. Gordon! Soy de Filipinas
Pugakhang 007 It's because he speaks kinda with the accent of the suburbs of Madrid. Usually people living outside big cities are chavs and this guy. Actually all the places he goes in summer are really chav in Benidorm and Gandia the spanish Jersey Shore was shoot. This lad would fit in this show
Pugakhang 007 hola. Soy filipino también. De donde eres? Bueno, el accento latinamericano como mexicano, colombiano, es mucho mas facil a comprender que el accento de madrid. Just like in english, american vs british. We have no problems understanding american english but with british sometimes we need some clarification.
Some ppl I can understand like it was English and some ppl I STILL have a hard time listening to. I live in Colombia and almost always talk in Spanish. It is not the speed of the talker that kills me at all, it's that some people speak so "enredado" that I can hardly make out the words. I'm constantly practicing listening to different accents. Ironically I prefer accents "cantados" like the paisa/Caribbean/andalusian way more than flatter accents of bogota/Madrid
He is pronouncing ll in different ways ,his name Guillermo(Guiyermo),then calle as (calye),later on says calle again as caye. Is there a rule for this ? I'm a little confused.
The One Normally in Spain the LL is pronounced as a soft J. Depending on the word, this will sound stronger sometimes. Don't worry too much about it, if he can alter the sound, so can you!
Marie S The rule is “ll” is pronounced más o menos: • Guilyermo • Calye • Desarrolyo Somewhat like “million” in English, but a bit more merged together. ... but rules are meant to be broken. :v
it depends on the spanish language country for example the double LL in MANY latín american countries we pronounce LL = Y in yuca for example in argentina they pronounce LL = CH
qué chevere!..le puedo entender sin esforzarme mucho... no lo puedo creer. púes, el examen de b2 DELE está a la vuelta de la esquina (de aquí 6 días). si solo supieron ustedes como me ayudaban tus vídeos superar algunos de mis problemas. se lo doy mis gracias y espero que sigan ayudando a la comunidad de los principiantes del español. una vez más, un mil gracias😃
Holy crap my spanish is so bad now, I can't understand him lol. My spanish used to be fluent, I grew up in Argentina. Now it sucks because I stopped speaking it :(
woodyfly man, can you tell me how it feels?, I know there are people that forget their native language when they move to other countries but I am curious about how it is, I just can't imagine that. I am native Spanish speaker
Sergio Sánchez I haven't really spoken it in like over 10 years but it's still not completely forgotten to me. I just need to talk more on it and I think I would get it back completely. This guy also has a pretty thick spaniard accent that I'm not used to. Whenever I watch messi talk on interviews, I can probably understand about 80%+ of it. Sometimes it takes me a while to 'process' what he's saying, like I have to translate it in my head from spanish to english.
ur videos is the best just wanted 2 ask u something would u mind to translate your videos to English so we could understand I'm learning spanish but I'm not that good I just know some phrases and words
Meechul Abdullah Meechul..All our lessons have transcripts. We offer them along with helpsheets on our website. This is how we cover our costs and time of making these videos. You can find them here:) www.lightspeedspanish.co.uk/lightspeed-spanish-helpsheets/
I know right! Thats because of the new law. before that me and my friends used to have "botellones" in the park. But things change so we only drink in the bar now.
on the other hand, spanish speakers like him who speak so fast inspire me to improve my spanish listening skills. thanks!
juan tamad Exactamente. :)
I guess this time tol. Fluent ka na sa spanish heehehe
i love the fact you put different levels of difficulties.. Its very helpful to develop your listening skills ☺☺
+Julyana GK Gracias:)
he speaks so fast that literally even the closed captions can't understand what he's saying... turn them on and look
Hi
@Double Bubble Disco Queen jajaja I am spanish and we say the same things of you , the english people
Bueno pero los gringos hablan re lento
Im sorry to tell you that in Spain we normally speak faster than this guy
@@ivanescartinsaezdeadana223 even faster in Chile
wow. the beauty in the language and the speaker. hAhah
:D
Everyone: He's speaking really fast
Me, a Spaniard: Wait people consider that fast? That's like... normal everyday speed, that's not fast xD
Me a Mexican: This is not fast but the Spanish accent is showing
Literal jajaja esta hablando normalito
This video made me realize how much more I listen to people from South America, and how little I listen to people from Spain. I am able to understand everything in this video, but it takes me a little bit more effort to understand.

Same. It's the "θ" they use in their accents
such a shame that theres only few videos on youtube of spaniards teaching spanish
Thata what I do i listen to Spaniards it helps alot . I believe thats the original authentic spainsh 🇪🇸
I was getting really, really discouraged and then I opened my eyes and saw that this was 4.5/5 difficulty. Now I feel better because I was able to actually pick out some words!
Kevin Harris I, m a native Spanish speaker , and he speaks really fast , and doesn't articulate the vowels clear .For non natives he is hard to understand.
We are used to 'complete' the misheard vowels as we hear these words regularly, we can understand him clearly just that way.

god damn this guy is quick! the lisp makes it even harder
Eslam Ali Más rápido que la luz... :)
I'm a native Spanish speaker and, to tell the truth, he doesn't speak that fast. He's got a kind of lisp, that's all.
Seems the accent of Southern Spain lacks annunciation.
@@johnbass7551 he has not andalucian accent .
Once I turned the speed down to 75% my listening skills improved.. Oh dear what a sign of old age! 20 minutes in Benidorm and we wanted to escape!
Good system, Michael:)

He is pronouncing ll in different ways ,his name Guillermo(Guiyermo),then calle as (calye),later on says calle again as caye.
Is there a rule for this ? I'm a little confused.
The One Normally in Spain the LL is pronounced as a soft J. Depending on the word, this will sound stronger sometimes. Don't worry too much about it, if he can alter the sound, so can you!
Most Spanirds do both sounds deppending on the place of the letters y or ll more than deppending on the letter itself .

The rule is “ll” is pronounced más o menos:
• Guilyermo
• Calye
• Desarrolyo
Somewhat like “million” in English, but a bit more merged together.
... but rules are meant to be broken. :v
it depends on the spanish language country for example the double LL in MANY latín american countries we pronounce LL = Y in yuca for example in argentina they pronounce LL = CH

He is not speaking fast, the difficulty is with his accent. I am not used to Spain's accent.

¿Qué acento de España te gusta más, James?
Holy crap my spanish is so bad now, I can't understand him lol. My spanish used to be fluent, I grew up in Argentina. Now it sucks because I stopped speaking it :(
:(
woodyfly man, can you tell me how it feels?, I know there are people that forget their native language when they move to other countries but I am curious about how it is, I just can't imagine that. I am native Spanish speaker

I haven't really spoken it in like over 10 years but it's still not completely forgotten to me. I just need to talk more on it and I think I would get it back completely. This guy also has a pretty thick spaniard accent that I'm not used to.
Whenever I watch messi talk on interviews, I can probably understand about 80%+ of it. Sometimes it takes me a while to 'process' what he's saying, like I have to translate it in my head from spanish to english.
Torrejón Torrejón!!

I can understand about 90% of the conversation but lose track at minor points.
