Personally, I love your way of throwing in lots of vocab during your lessons. That's the perfect way to learn vocab - poco a poco.
Happy to hear that!
@@QrooSpanishhey just curious about the video, so when I’m speaking with a native Spanish speaker and they say those verbs in the sentence, do we just assume there speaking in that “ing” for that you were talking any
Do I just assume*
Talking about* ingles muy difícil
I needed this so much. I had never realized I was doing that. I love that it’s an easy rule that it will NEVER follow a preposition
Dear Paul I live in Istanbul. Naturally, my mother tongue is Turkish. My English level is upper intermediate. I have been trying to learn Spanish through social media and especially on TH-cam for about 3 months. I came across a video of yours 3 days ago and I'm hooked on your channel. As you can imagine, it is not very easy to learn a third language that I have just started using a second language that I am trying to learn, which is not at a very good level. However, the English you speak is so pure and understandable that it both improves my English level and allows me to easily understand the Spanish topics you explain. Thank you very much for all your efforts. I will definitely continue to follow you. Best regards.
Your English is excellent. Congratulations. Thanks for following the channel and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.
You speak clearer than most natives
This was the easiest way to understand this type of gerund formatting thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Damn, I was patting myself on the back for getting most of these and then I remembered who taught me this ish. I need to watch every video you ever made. If I don’t know the subjunctive, it’s because I don’t want to. You explain most concepts so dang well. Especially that one. I love to write, you give me infinite hope that soon I can do this completely in Spanish.
Gracias Paul. Lo que me gusta más de tus videos es que siempre aprendo nuevas palabras ademas del tema principal! Tengo ganas de ver más videos!
Dear @QrooSpanish,
I don't know how tagging works here on YT as I rarely comment on anything, but I hope you see this.
I have been with your videos for a year now, and every time I have a doubt, or I need to look into something, you are the first person I search for. The way you explain each concept is the best and in this video in particular I got many of my questions answered that I didn't even expect to get answered.
I appreciate the time and energy you put into these videos.
Thank you so much!
Another short but brilliant video packed with useful stuff! Thanks Paul!
Glad you liked it!
Love the way you explain things. Keep up the good work. Your lessons are the best I have come across and I am very encouraged. Everything you teachIam able toeffectively apply. Stay encouraged, my friend, and do not let negative naysayers keep you from helpingso many of us. You are an excellent teacher. press forward.
Thanks!
Another great grammer point that traducing in the head creates . Well taught
Another great job! Short and sweet. It goes both ways. You will sometimes hear the English learner use the infinitive when the gerund should be used. Regards from Indiana!
Thanks for another great lesson. Most of us I think know how to hit the pause button while we are thinking about our answers. So you don't need to worry about the length of the pause before the answer.
I signed up for a formal college class in Spanish.
Let me know how the class goes. I've thought of signing up for one just to see how the language is being taught these days.
thanks Paul, I learned a lot in this episode. I love how you explain the grammar - breaking things down so they are easy to understand and start to apply. I also really enjoy the excerises, I always pause the video after each one and play around with the solutions.
Glad it was helpful!
This is super helpful.
Thank you very much Mr.Paul.
Glad to hear that!
much appreciated pep talk. look at what you learned already, don't look at the mountain in front of you.
a lot of teachers just have time to give A's and F's and then they go home make dinner watch t v and go to bed.
the student is left all by himself to give himself the pep talk and do the homework.
Your explanation is very clear. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, I am learning Spanish because I live in Barranquilla
As always, a good lesson. One way I like to work on my Spanish with Paul’s videos is to try to translate his English examples to Spanish in a translator app to see if I come up with the same or similar sentence before I see his sentence in Spanish. When I make a mistake, the correct way gets reinforced with his translation.
Top content as always, thanks for making this whole language a little bit easier to learn. Cheers from the UK
Thanks! Chreers!
Thanks!
It should be the goal of beginners to learn something challenging and new as I learned Harto de today. I was confused why cambiar was reflexive in the initial sentence. Also I had been using Quitar to quit when it's just remove or take away I guess. Great job at the end with Ponerse because I've been trying to understand the difference in usage between Poner, Hacer and Quedar when taking about becoming something. Anyway well done.
Cambiar was reflexive because cambiarse refers to changing your clothes. I should do a video explaining poner, hacer and quedar with that usage. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to my list.
Very helpful lesson-keep them coming!!!
Thanks. Will do!
Thank you Paul super cool… eres grande
Te quiero Mucho mi maestro excelante
Gracias.
Wow i have so much more to learn. This video blew my thoughts away. Sheesh but ill get it I just have to keep watching
Eres mejor que me profesor de Italki. Solo digo.
¡Gracias!
A huevo, huge help!! So glad I subscribed!!
Oooh I didn’t know this… ok this makes sense. Very helpful.
Thank you good advice 🎉
You’re welcome 😊
Oh wow... Sorry, but when i was translating the last sentence I used a different verbs all together there, it was "Al llegar a casa, se me notó que la puerta estaba abierta." I want to know if that works too?
🌚
👉🏻👈🏻
Al llegar a casa, noté que la puerta estaba abierta. -- is an option.
Thanks Paul
You are the best! Thank you.
Thank you!
¡Gracias!
¡Excelente! Muchas Gracias
Gracias por verlo. :)
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks
Gracias. :)
Here is a tip that viewers of this channel might find handy - I save videos like this in playlists, BUT, I have three playlists. Espanol, Beginner, Intermediate, and C-A-N (Coming Along Nicely) How you might name your playlists will differ. I, for example, plan on hardly going beyond beginner, because of my needs and plans.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉very useful hasta luego 👋
I’m curious if this could be correct (which is how I responded) «María insistir en madrugarse todos los día»? thanks
Madrugar does appear in the pronominal form as well. It's like despertar(se)
seems like gerund should just be removed from an (english speaking) beginner's vocab altogether until later on.... in what cases is the gerund used?
It is used in Spanish too, just not in this case. Here are some videos about when to use it:
th-cam.com/video/qryYrFVtnWo/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/mhLAutb8dBs/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/W62TVclkgG0/w-d-xo.html
And doesn't the very simple, entire progressive tense, use gerunds? Estoy usando gerundios?
Yes, it does. Estoy leyendo. I am reading.
Gracias Qroo Paul por ampliar mi vocabulario.👍
Me puse triste al no poder pronunciar claramente el nuevo verbo ENTRISTECERSE.🥴😉😅
Haha
En-triste-cerse 😉 siempre hay palabras tengo que cortarlas en partes para pronunciarlas y memorizarlas como “estadounidenses” y “lavavajillas” 😂
Might you offer a subscription providing worksheets with each of these lessons? I'd sign up in a heartbeat.
That's a good idea. I do offer additional content to members. Tell me more about the worksheets. Would they have practice exercises etc?
any tips on how to get the "rr" pronunciation down?
@@Bones_Ex Practice? thanks Tips never thought of that
It’s not your tongue doing it. It’s the cycle of high pressure blocked air followed by reduced pressure. So it’s the same as learning to whistle. The mouth shape and tongue position are a matter of developing the muscle memory. To do that we have to start by getting it right a couple of times, so move that tongue around trying to find the sweet spot.
I’m using the r like in “bring” in English (foreign language to me) as in German that sound doesn’t exist. This helping me to practice the rr and from time to time I get it and then I’m losing it again 🙄 you should know that not every hispanohablante is able to do it 😉 so it’s definitely not a “must” especially for foreigners 😂
Brillante estoy haciendo este error 😊
It's a pretty common error but one that is so easy to fix. :)
I’m pretty sure you “commit” (cometer) errors in Spanish, not “make” (hacer) them, right? Entonces, “estás cometiendo este error”. ¿Es correcto, Qroo Paul?
Ante. Cool word. Even some of my Native Spanish speaker friends look at me goofy when I use anteojos instead of gafas for specks 👓
Linda prefers anteojos for reading glasses and gafas for sunglasses. I use lentes.
For the past 3 days I have been unable to complete my registration with your $10 club. ¿Que pasa? It says it can’t accept my payment.
I'm not sure what the issue is because it's a third party app, but thanks for trying.
Am I supposed to download the app first?
Would it be wrong to omit the “al”? Ex. Julio se puso triste escuchar la noticia. I know we can do this in English, not sure in Spanish.
It would be incorrect without the al.
well done
I will say that the US educational system gets an (F) when it comes to teaching language. We literally have schools with fluent spanish speakers already in them, but they aren't utilized as a resource, the schools just keep teaching Spain spanish, like Mexican Spanish doesn't exist. Thanks for what you do!
What he is teaching in this video is true for every dialect of Spanish . Differences between one or another Spanish are minor and irrelevant for beginers, they are even less than between Brittish English and American English.
Why is madrugar not a reflexive verb?
how do you turn off the English translation in ur head?
That's a great video idea!
It simply happened to me after a while 🤷♀️ like driving a car: at first I had to think about what I was doing (using my hands/feet) and after a while it simply stopped. Guess it’s automated processing. No idea what else could be “done” to force the automation but practicing.
Todavía no te compraba un café pero, cuando lo haga, puedes comparar una silla que cuesta cien dólares. Está bien. No estaré enojado contigo.
🙂👍
😁
could I say Antes van al parque instead of de ir al parque?
No, you would need antes de + infinitive or antes de que + subjunctive.
Antes de que vayan al parque
Quiere cambiarse antes de ir a la fiesta sounds odd, like it should be a question. It sounds more natural to say El quiere cambiarse antes de ir a la fiesta.
Why escuchar (to listen) and not oir (to hear)?
It varies by region. In Mexico, escuchar would be the most common verb here because you are listening to the news. Paying attention to it. Like listening to a story.
@@QrooSpanish thanks.
@@warrenjones4713 to hear = oir (the physical ability) vs to listen = escuchar (paying attention, brain activity) so you might hear the news without having any impact or you are listening to the news having an impact
@@anneli1735 ahh, I see. Thanks.
