I personally like this kind of videos where you bring a scene and analyze it step by step. That scene can be a commercial or any other situation in real life. That could help a lot as we are able to know new vocabulary and phrases we usually use. Im from spain and this also helps me to know more about english so keep doing this pls!! =)
Tyurtu Tryty I love to hear that. That's been the biggest surprise from making these videos! How many Spanish speakers use them to improve their English.I love to hear it because so many Spanish speakers all over the world, but especially in Spain, helped me with my Spanish. And I've always felt a debt. Never thought I'd be able to do much about it. Thanks for the comment.
Agree--please make more of these. My biggest challenge is understanding spoken Spanish. I watch a lot of videos and listen to Spanish-language radio to try to accustom my ear to spoken Spanish. But as you mentioned in this video, sometimes even when I know a word or phrase, I may not recognize it when someone says it, or I confuse it with a similar sounding word.
Great video. i struggle with the little chit chat inter actions and your breakdown on this commercial was perfect all the while teaching me some more Spanish. I really got a kick out of your analysis of the three types of people who listen and then give feedback. We, my wife and I consider your program as one of the pillars of our learning Spanish, while we are living in Spain. Keep up the good work.
I don't know if you realize how amazing you are Jordan and the impact you can have not only when it comes comprehending Spanish, but using the human brain lol!!!! if I could humbly recommend improving what I consider to already be perfection, I would add a video like this to every lesson. Yeah it lengthens the videos out and worksheets are already added to help (which is already going WAY out on a limb considering that you released a FREE series of videos to help me learn for FREE), but when you shows us something like this, it brings your points to life and I think that is DYNAMITE!!! Your the best. I wish you were my prof. Unfortunately I'm paying one to teach me and instead I've been following you all of the time and understanding it over his methods. THE BEST EVER, THY NAME IS JORDAN!!!!
+Sean Bonilla PS: If I didn't already waste my money on those credits for Spanish, I'd gladly hand it to you in cash and buy your videos as my supplies. Fortunately, I'm a blessed and somewhat broke college kid who is being given a special gift I can use and pass down (if in the position to) in my life. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, Jordan - I think you hit on something here. This video, along with the Merida dinner videos, have been the most helpful to me thus far. "Breaking it down" and going over the dialog repeatedly is terrific. I can remember the vocabulary more easily if I have a visual to connect it to - especially if it's funny :) As for the last two lines of the video, if you listen without trying to make a direct translation, I think the dialog is meant to be: "Do I look pretty?" "Yes, pretty ridiculous".
Soy español, pero me gustan mucho los idiomas y me resultan divertidos tus vídeos. Creo que es muy interesante ver cómo lo explicas. I just wanted to add something that maybe you didn't realise. At the end of the commercial there's a comment that says "Es frescura cada día". That is also a joke, because another meaning of "fresco" (apart from fresh) is cheeky, or too direct in terms of saying things that may not sound polite.
+Gringo Español "fresh" in English means the same. It just isn't used much anymore cause EVERYBODY in America is fresh (too familiar) these days. You would wear yourself out calling people "fresh". :-)
Dude, ( do people still say dude?) you are hilarious, and I mean that in a very good way. You are helping to make learning Spanish fun, enjoyable, and whenever possible much less tedious. Kudos, two thumb up, and whatever other cliché I can't think of at the moment. Keep up the great work!!
I love this! Thank You. I am born of a mother from San Salvador…however my father is Irish… I have always understood (mostly) spanish and record songs in spanish. Thanks to my mothers conversations with my grandmother, aunts, when she THINKS she's being secretive or when she is extremely upset… I am in love with this decadent , much more expressive choice of words to pull from. I have 7yr old twin boys (Darius & Achilles ) who are in an Immersion spanish school. They are building a channel ( slowwwwly…painfully slowly, thanks to my editing capabilities ) I struggle some with spanish, however the other mothers who have no background in this language REALY have a difficult time. Some have cried about it. It seems "OVERWHELMING". It is extremely exciting to find you!!! You have found a way to make it light, easy and fun. I'm quite certain thats not always the case in learning a language! I am going to share your channel with them when christmas break is over. I am going to study with you. I have sent you to my nephew who needs help wants to learn and can not get into the class at his collage. My sons watched this commercial with me today and I asked them to translate it… telling them I didn't understand it. Ultimately they thought the grandmother was "mean" and "needs better glasses because thats not a girl"… so yeah- I could've thought that one out a bit better. Either way we laughed and they think their grandmother is EVER MORE WONDERFUL NOW! You probably don't recognize the ripple effect of your gift HOWEVER, in my world alone it will be huge. THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS ~ Toni
This is great! I have watched it and sent it on to my classmates. I know that accent is a HUGE thing in Spanish. Many of the television shows are hard for me. I can understand the "voice-over" guy, but cannot understand a lot of dialogue. Some of it is speed-related, but I think some is there are so many different accents in Spanish. This one I understood, but it was pretty fast, especially the "me veo".... Great job. Do more of these!
Very good. Informative and interesting. Thank you. I'm following a comprehension course. The speaker is Mexican I believe. More often than not I clearly hear "quienes" when she's actually saying "tienes". Among several other difficulties is that when a word ends in "r" it sounds like "s".
Glad you liked this one. I still get mixed up with certain sounds from certain people. But generally, the more you understand the words and context, the less it will trip you up. Keep at it! Which comprehension course are you following?
estaba buscando "We're Not Gonna Take It" por Twisted Sister, y me salio esta cancion, y toavia no se como me salio este video, pero yo tambien como menso talareando el titulo a la nota del cancion. Sin embargo, estaba muy educativo el video!
Hi gringo, just wanted to poit out that the diminutive of "amigo" is written "amiguito" with an u between g and i. The same apllies for amiguita. It's because of a pronunciation issue. If you use "gi" it sounds as in the word Gigante (sounds like a J in spanish) This happens when using the letter G followed by an "i" or an "e". Ex. Gente (sounds like Jente) - Guerra (here sounds as when you use the G with an A and O or a U) The same difference in pronunciation: Gil (pronounce like Jil) - Guisante
Me gustan tus videos. Explicas muy bien las palabras. Creo que haces muy facil y entendible el español. Solo una cosa... amigita se escribe amiguita. Estaria bien un video explicando las palabras que llevan la letra U despues de la G. Por ejemplo, no es lo mismo guiño que giño jajajja. O como se pronuncian las palabras que llevan los dos puntitos encima de la U, como por ejemplo cigüeña (stork). Un saludo desde España
Algo muy importante que hay que recordar, es la diferencia entre los signos de puntuación del idioma inglés y español. Hay dos signos de admiración. Uno que se coloca al principio de la palabra o frase, y el segundo se coloca al final. Ejemplo: ¡Hola! Lo mismo sucede con el signo de interrogación: ¿Qué haces aquí? Es completamente incorrecto colocar sólo un signo al final, como en el inglés. Hola! Qué pasa? Saludos desde México.
Hey, I was just checking out your videos; they are very useful to teach basic lessons of spanish. Actually, Im peruvian, therefore, my spanish is quite good, so I wanted to tell you that you have made a mistake, you spelled the word amiguito/amiguita with a missing U. if you want to make that sound with the G before using a vowel like "i" or "e" (only those 2) you must use a "u" before them, just like: guerra, Guillermo, juguete. they sound is similar to the words guest or geek in english. best wishes
I always struggle with comprehending Spanish. If it’s not a word for word translation and even if I know all or some of the vocabulary, when I translate it to English, it’s like I’m playing scrabble in my head to make sense of what was said. I feel stuck! 🤦🏾♂️
Cuando dices "AMIGITA", lo correcto es usar "AMIGUITA". Igual que se dice guitarra (guitar) y no gitarra. En español, las vocales E-I tienen un pequeño "conflicto" con las consonantes G/C. Podrías hacer un vídeo explicándolo. Por lo demás, muy buen trabajo, sigue así. I use your lessons to improve my english. It helps a lot to understand the using of at/in/on... do/make.....
Manuel Lg Thank you! I appreciate the correction. And I love hearing that my videos help you. I understand. Prepositions are really difficult because you just have to learn when to say which, there aren't real translations often. Very cool to know a lesson in Spanish would help in English. I see why clearly. Prepositions, ugh!!!!!
+Gringo Español No worries, I'm not trolling or anything. I just think that when you put information out there that presumes to be educational, it should be correct. I do like the idea of using this funny commercial to educate. It's a good idea.
A decir verdad el anuncio que has elegido NO es español de España si no que es latino, si los vídeos que haces van dirigidos a personas que quieren ir a España te recomendaría que usas anuncios españoles, españoles.
Gringo Español Sí, el anuncio es Latinoamericano. Jaja aunque está muy bien tu labor, enseñas bastante bien. Sigue así ánimos y yo soy español así que si necesitas algo házmelo saber quizás te pueda ayudar =,)
WasdCat Jajajaja. Gracias tio! Lo aprecio mucho. Aprendí español originalmente con españoles (en Holanda) y entonces en España. Me encanta. Saludos desde Florida!
Gringo Español A ti por contestarme, la verdad es que escribes y hablas bastante bien. ah y se escribe "tío" con tilde en la "i" puesto que es un diptongo.
I realize that the videos need to be concise but you are talking so fast and the video cuts are jumping so quick that it is hard to follow you. If you do anything to bring in the noobies and hold our interest......... SLOW DOWN a little. Muchas gracias de tortugabob
Okay Jordan, you gotta make more of these. That was a lot of fun!
Amine Bouzidi I know! I really do. Thanks for the kick in the butt.
sí ! Tienes que hacer más de esos.. son lo más fácil manera de aprender escuchar a español (corrections of this sentence are very welcome ! )
these are great. more please
I think it would be better said like this.. Es el método o la manera más fácil para aprender a escuchar el español
I personally like this kind of videos where you bring a scene and analyze it step by step. That scene can be a commercial or any other situation in real life. That could help a lot as we are able to know new vocabulary and phrases we usually use.

Thank you for this video! It was very helpful having watched a few of your videos and then seeing the commercial broken down. Thank you!
Do more commercial breakdowns please. Amazing how many little extra things we can learn when you break it down and explain it to us.
Agree--please make more of these. My biggest challenge is understanding spoken Spanish. I watch a lot of videos and listen to Spanish-language radio to try to accustom my ear to spoken Spanish. But as you mentioned in this video, sometimes even when I know a word or phrase, I may not recognize it when someone says it, or I confuse it with a similar sounding word.

+Jose G Oh wow! I didn't know that at all. That makes this commercial even better. Thank you so much for this comment. Really cool addition.
+Gringo Español "fresh" in English means the same. It just isn't used much anymore cause EVERYBODY in America is fresh (too familiar) these days. You would wear yourself out calling people "fresh". :-)
@@elspanishdude Can you Please make more of these types of videos! I think this best way to learn Spanish because it has contex. Gracias Amigo!
Great video. This really helped me with comprehending Spanish. Make more of these types of videos please.
+Shishio23 I will! I'm glad this helped you!
Gracias! Estoy viviendo en Barcelona y tus videos han sido un muy provechosos!
Yes more of these! Super fun way to learn comprehension, which I definitely struggle with. Thanks for all your videos! You’re the best.
Excellent strategy. Easy to learn. Cool, very cool.
Dude, ( do people still say dude?) you are hilarious, and I mean that in a very good way.
You are helping to make learning Spanish fun, enjoyable, and whenever possible much less tedious. Kudos, two thumb up, and whatever other cliché I can't think of at the moment. Keep up the great work!!
Awesome exercise! Please more of it!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Yeah, I need to do more of these for sure.
This was super helpful! please do more comprehension videos!
¡Wow! Jordan, I loved this! You packed so much in 7 minutes 21 seconds! ¡Perfecto!
I liked it a lot , keep it going you're a very good teacher. Thank you.
TheBobbalu Thank you! I will keep going. Make sure you're subscribed, I'll be back next week with a new video.
another great video, Jordan. Mantener el buen trabajo!
I loved this video. More please!
Loved this!! More please!
This was REALLY useful and REALLY effective. I really appreciate all the effort in these videos.
I love this! Thank You. I am born of a mother from San Salvador…however my father is Irish… I have always understood (mostly) spanish and record songs in spanish.
Thanks to my mothers conversations with my grandmother, aunts, when she THINKS she's being secretive or when she is extremely upset… I am in love with this decadent , much more expressive choice of words to pull from.
I have 7yr old twin boys (Darius & Achilles ) who are in an Immersion spanish school.
They are building a channel ( slowwwwly…painfully slowly, thanks to my editing capabilities )
I struggle some with spanish, however the other mothers who have no background in this language REALY have a difficult time. Some have cried about it. It seems "OVERWHELMING".
It is extremely exciting to find you!!!
You have found a way to make it light, easy and fun.
I'm quite certain thats not always the case in learning a language!
I am going to share your channel with them when christmas break is over.
I am going to study with you.
I have sent you to my nephew who needs help wants to learn and can not get into the class at his collage.
My sons watched this commercial with me today and I asked them to translate it… telling them I didn't understand it.
Ultimately they thought the grandmother was "mean" and "needs better glasses because thats not a girl"… so yeah- I could've thought that one out a bit better.
Either way we laughed and they think their grandmother is EVER MORE WONDERFUL NOW!
You probably don't recognize the ripple effect of your gift HOWEVER, in my world alone it will be huge.
THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS ~ Toni
Solvador tiny beautiful city

is AMIGUITA, with GU: GI is like JI.
Nice Video 😊😊
Just a little correction, instead of amigita and amigito. They are AMIGUITA and AMIGUITO 🥰🥰
I hear the girl saying "tu muy bien"
I really have a hard time hearing the correct words in actual conversations.
I hear her saying "¿su bien?" "It's good?"
Can you explain "ñoño"???
Amiguita, Gringo Guy. Spelling counts on the quiz.
+Dorothy Potter Spanish That might be true. But the quiz doesn't count! Thanks for the correction =)
+Gringo Español No worries, I'm not trolling or anything. I just think that when you put information out there that presumes to be educational, it should be correct. I do like the idea of using this funny commercial to educate. It's a good idea.
+Gringo Español where everything is made up and the points don't matter... Well, except for the first part... but you get the gist. :-) Rock on!
I don't know why she says amigita. He's about seven foot tall.
Amiguita it needs a u for pronunciation
A decir verdad el anuncio que has elegido NO es español de España si no que es latino, si los vídeos que haces van dirigidos a personas que quieren ir a España te recomendaría que usas anuncios españoles, españoles.

Why is it, Se llama Mike instead of Se llamo Mike? Isn't Mike a guy so it needs the masculine ending? This is counter intuitive to me
!!
