Love that you said, "polygot", Paul! I said that early in my uoutube lingu-ing! It is good to return to your channel, sir! I swamped myself with language videos, and made playlists that were faaaaarrr too long, and overworked my passion for tongues. Then the fall arrived, y la estación de cazar de los benado... oh, heck, can't remember how to spell it in Español, deer hunting. (My passions cycle through the year). Congratulations on one hundred thousand subscribers. Es un regalo bueno para usted en este tiempo del año. ¡Feliz Navidad, señor! Para usted, y su esposa, Feliz Navidad.
Agreed. I use it with Netflix. When I'm being a good student, I take notes and pause, look up stuff. But I keep it on also when I'm just chilling with a video. Just a bit more exposure and passive learning.
I looked this up and the tool Qroo Paul is talking about here gets a higher star rating . Why do you say it’s better ? I think after all this awesome content he has freely given us I’ll stick with what he advises
@@buttaboo5846 I agree, QRoo Paul is brilliant, I love his content. I’ve used both programs. The one i suggested has a free version and much more functionality. The one I suggested works with your Netflix or TH-cam videos. So basically tons and tons of free content, also shows you’d actually want to watch.
I really, really like ""YABLA"" .... Lots of varieties of interesting short videos with versatile subtitles in both languages, easy speed change, vocab exercises, & games.
Lingopie is great. Paul, have you made a video about the language learning theory of comprehensible input? My Spanish is improving much faster by watching Spanish videos because it's training my brain faster.
Hi Paul. I tried lingo pie about 18 months ago but the content then wasn’t that great- in my opinion. From what I saw on your video it seems to now give a much better choice of films etc so might be worth another go. I already watch my films on Netflix in Spanish, and usually have English subtitles. This works very well for me. 🙂xx
I trialed Lingopie a while ago. While I don't think it would work as a language learning tool, I do think it's a great resource for vocabulary building and ear training for more advanced learners.
Thank you Paul. I am a Floridian learning Spanish and while there are many native speakers here, as you know, I was wondering which apps you endorse to help my learning. I use Duolingo but clearly there is a lot that it is not helpful with. I like Duo's vocabulary help and it's easy to use. I have been getting better but I need more listening practice. Thanks.
Lifetime subscription gifted to oneself🎉. Deutsch und/et Français are on my future 'to do' list, after I've gotten to a decent level in Español y/ha Kernowek. Now, Paul, kick back with the better half and enjoy your well-deserved festive & New Year break.
I'm trying to learn as much as I can, as fast as I can, before I go back down to see my fiance in the Dominican Republic at the start of February 2024. And I still feel like its day one for me. I have watched almost all of Qroo Creo lessons and taken almost 10 pages of notes along the way, but I still have no clue how to comprehend when Spanish is spoken back to me. Even subscibed to Spanishpod 101 and still feel am jsut not getting it. Maybe I need to go to college. Any advice would be appreciated.
Just signed up. I will post a review after the seven day trial period. My Spanish level is advanced beginner. EDIT I can't figure out how to use it. When I sign into the site, all I get is the signup site and it won't go anywhere else. Suggestions, Paul?
I am using lingopie but unfortunately my vocabulary is still not where it needs to be for it to be very helpful. I am almost at 'cartoon level' of viewing and when I get there, I figure I will have such an easier time learning. The 'slow down' feature is awesome and so too is the way that you can look up each word and create a learning database for yourself.
I tried it and I didn’t like it. For me it was hard to find things I enjoyed and the highlighted words were always ones I already knew. I had it and only watched a few shows.
I have often wondered if Mexican kids programming would help new learners get a little more "immersed" in the language and help learn. I've searched for the Spanish equivalent of Sesame Street or Dora the Explorer or something. I mean, my kids picked up and still know a lot of Spanish just by watching Dora and Diego. My wife and I have set a goal to learn Latin American Spanish together, so we are definitely going to look into this. Muchas Gracias, Paul!
If I am not able to roll my R, how do I sound an R at the beginning of a word or a RR in the middle. Should I say it like an American R or a tapped R... Thank you
Don’t worry that much! There are native Spanish speakers not being able to roll the R as well, sometimes they would be trained by a specialist like a linguistic therapist just in case parents can pay for it 🤔 As a northern German native I would use the English pronunciation (like in “reading” I had to learn at school back then) to overcome my lack of native ability producing the R in my throat instead of using the tongue 🙄 You will be understood by using the English pronunciation 😉
Hi paul, I’m posting here because it’s the most recent and I imagine you will see it. I am working with a Spanish teacher and we’re working on prepositions plus articles and I just don’t get it. Do you have a video and this? Thank you so much for your great teaching, Valentina .
@@QrooSpanish gracias. I hope this helps. There are exercises where you have to fill in the blanks, but it won’t let me copy them and paste here. Completa las frases siguientes con las preposiciones y artículos según corresponda: de el, a el, del, al, a la, de la, a los, de los, a las, de las
I had been contemplating trying Lingopie for a while now. Signed up a few days ago. Listening comprehension is (in my view) my biggest challenge currently. @QrooSpanish - here is an idea/suggestion for a video, maybe even a whole new playlist. How about some videos on Mexico-specific ways of saying things. It's definitely not like I have been learning from my grammar books.
Hay que + infinitive is used to express the idea of “one must do something” or, “it is necessary to do something.” Hay que caminar más rápido si queremos llegar a tiempo. Hay que beber más agua para mantener buena salud. Many other examples on websites and TH-cam.
I bought the lifetime subscription, thinking it was an early product that would improve, but that hasn't been the case. If you step into their discord, you'll see that it's full of complaints, bug reports, etc. and its developers aren't very active, going days without responding. And then the bugs people report go unfixed anyway. The non-Netflix videos they host tend to be lower quality, and, judging by how the "Top 10" list has been the same for months, they don't seem to be adding anything else. So you're missing a lot if you don't spring for a $20/month Netflix subscription on top of it. I love the idea behind it, but the execution is just so undercooked right now. Nevertheless, I see ads for it EVERYWHERE. And that gives me the impression that they're spending their entire revenue stream on marketing, and not on improving the product at all.
It expresses obligation to do something without naming a specific subject. Hay que estudiar. One has to study. Hay que llegar temprano para conseguir una mesa. One has to arrive early to get a table.

There is a chrome extension called language reactor that does the same thing but is far superior, it also has an AI chat bot that is cheeky and fun.
Agreed. I use it with Netflix. When I'm being a good student, I take notes and pause, look up stuff. But I keep it on also when I'm just chilling with a video. Just a bit more exposure and passive learning.
Is it available for iPhones or only desktop computers?

Fantastic info!
That’s awesome! Also congrats on hitting over 100K!

Hey Paul , thanks so much for sharing this website with us sounds like an amazing tool I'm going to check it out!

Looks interesting. So is this a monthly fee platform?
Thanks for that. I find understanding Spanish the hardest part of learning the language.
I trialed Lingopie a while ago. While I don't think it would work as a language learning tool, I do think it's a great resource for vocabulary building and ear training for more advanced learners.
I'll consider using it because my maternal family is Chilean, and I specifically want to pick up more Chilean Spanish to understand my family better
Thank you Paul. I am a Floridian learning Spanish and while there are many native speakers here, as you know, I was wondering which apps you endorse to help my learning.

¡Peppa Pig en español es muy bueno!
Me gusta Atención Atención, desde Puerto Rico. Es como Sesame Street pero con música mucho mejor!
I have the paid version of Lingopie. I love it!
Can you help an old dude out? How do I get the app to work?
Showing off the gold plaque!
It's silver. It only looks gold because of the lighting. It takes 1M subs to get gold -- that's crazy! :)

I notice you’re already at 101K subscribers. 2024 goals!
@@QrooSpanish You do great work. I appreciate it as I'm sure the other 100,000 people do as well.
If I am not able to roll my R, how do I sound an R at the beginning of a word or a RR in the middle. Should I say it like an American R or a tapped R... Thank you
I would opt for the tapped R although in Costa Rica they often use an American R. Something unique about that dialect on single Rs.
Don’t worry that much! There are native Spanish speakers not being able to roll the R as well, sometimes they would be trained by a specialist like a linguistic therapist just in case parents can pay for it 🤔 As a northern German native I would use the English pronunciation (like in “reading” I had to learn at school back then) to overcome my lack of native ability producing the R in my throat instead of using the tongue 🙄 You will be understood by using the English pronunciation 😉
I tried it but prefer the show called extra in Spanish on youtube the vocab was easier for beginner - intermediate level
I'll check it out.
