As a Spanish native speaker (I'm from Spain), you are doing a really great job! You explain the little but big differences in Spanish in a very easy and funny way. Congratulations!!
@@the-bruh.cum5 I don’t know much German, but I’m pretty sure the grammar is fairly simple, but overwhelming at first. They use a lot of compound words (putting multiple words together to make one word).
Wow, I've studied over half a dozen languages and don't think I've ever come across such an engaging & hilarious series on youtube. These are perfect for the novice Spanish learner for American speakers!
Desde Costa Rica. Esto hace que el idioma español latinoamericano se vea como un proceso de construcción, porque el español es solo un poco más variable que el inglés. Es un idioma que me gusta mucho y me llena de orgullo, y me agrada ver a un buen comunicador transmitirlo de manera correcta!
Jordan I love your videos. They are both informative and entertaining. Would it be possible, in future videos, to lower the volume on your intro music? The difference between the music and your speech volume is quite jarring.
buajajaj!! So funny! I'm totally using this in class. My high schoolers and university students will appreciate the humor --- and pay attention! :D Good job!
You're good! I retired and moved to Zihuatanejo 3 months ago and have had the hardest time learning/speaking Spanish. I started today and after a few lessons I think I'll watch all of your videos and see what happens. I have a good understanding and think it will work............. Thanks, Joaquin "Jack"
By the way, your explanation of the use of "tu" and "usted" is great! Pretty much all the others giving their courses on the tube teach as if "usted" has ceased to exist...or wish it would go away. Many years back I was on a tour bus in Spain. A friendly Uruguayan gentleman a little more than twice my age was sitting next to me. We conversed in Spanish...or rather he did while I tried my best to remember my high school and freshman college Spanish. I addressed him as I had been taught as "usted". After awhile he very politely told me to use "tu" not "usted". For awhile I wondered what I had been doing wrong in using "usted". But then I learned that he, quite properly as the elder, had been inviting me...giving me permission... to address him as tu. What the world of Spanish has now become all these years later I am unsure, but your explanation seems excellent and a bit comforting.
You missed something important!, in so many country's in Latin America they don't use "Tú", they use "Vos" it means You, don't confuse it with "Voz" it means Voice. Country's that use it: Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, In some parts of Colombia, some parts of Venezuela, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. In some of those country's they may use Tú when they talk with Gringos because we know that most of you guys don't know about it and are not going to understand it. Ohh another advice never call or assume that someone is Mexican, all of us (Hispanics without including Mexico) get sooo offended about that!.
I hope he reads your comment. There was another post about this below, but you also said in which countries this applies to. In case you are reading this Gringo Español, countries like Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay use Vos instead of Tú. Tú is practically only used for prayer. Usted is used for anyone that is older or if it's a costumer.
nadelyn Yes, I agree that we have to teach it but it's actually never taught when learning Spanish in the USA. I've always wondered why not.... we don't even teach it in college either.. :(
I just found you and love your video’s (so far 2 of them) what was so darn funny is my first one just by sheer chance was on creating flash cards so when it came to the part where you said watch that video @!# I just laughed and laughed! I love how easy it is to go and print out the words related to this video!! I’m super excited to go now and look at your playlists and figure out which ones I should be watching first!
Thank you soo much. Been trying to learn Spanish for months now and been feeling very frustrated. You have motivated me to learn again! You really know what you are doing and you are miles ahead of your competition. Keep them vids coming dude!!!
I only found your webpage yesterday but I think it's great.I;ve been studying Spanish few years can read some of it but can't seem to get off talking . I think your page might be the one that gets me there. Thank you . Joan Storer.
Hey, I'm currently taking my third course of Spanish in high school and was never taught about 'vosotros/vosotras', and my teacher teaches the Latin American form of Spanish...do you think there is any reason for that, or could it just be preference of choice?
+Serai Roberts As a teacher, you can choose to teach it or not. Since your teacher is teaching Latin American Spanish, he/she wouldn't focus on the vosotros form because it's mainly used in Spain (although some different LA countries use "vos" informally). Personally, I teach it to my students because you never know where they will end up!! I didn't learn it in high school and when I studied abroad in Spain in college, I had to learn it quick. It's not hard to pick up though so if you wanted to learn it outside your classroom, a simple google search would do the trick!
+Serai Roberts "tú" and "vosotros/as" are informal forms and "usted" and "ustedes" are formal forms (or cortesy)... This is the difference... In english, or french you don't have a "formal form" but you have it in spanish or german In latin america people are very polite and formal, they never use the informal form :-P... but if you want to have a complete knowledge of spanish you must to know all of them ;-) No sé si me entenderás, en español me explico mejor :-D
+Serai Roberts It's not so easy... at least 80 millions in America use "vos" instead of tú. España informal tú vienes/vosotros venís formal usted viene/ustedes vienen México informal tú vienes/ustedes vienen formal usted viene/ustedes vienen Argentina informal vos venís/ustedes vienen formal usted viene/ustedes vienen
Man I just found your channel and I have to say this is exactly what I was looking for! Just started to learn spanish a couple weeks ago and definitely gonna check out all your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work! Greetings from Hungary.
***** Thank you Tamás. Tomas is a very common Spanish name. You might get some confused looks if/when you travel to Spain or Latin America. I'm glad you found me. Please ask any questions you have. My main suggestion is FOCUS. Focus on something and it's usually not that hard. Try to learn everything, it will seem impossible.
Good stuff man but just a couple of things I noticed. You make reference to your other videos more than a couple of times in your presentation. A hot link in the video itself and, or at least, a link to them in the description would be a great help to me as a viewer. Having to scroll through your whole list and/or search to find the right one that you flash up could make the experience much more enjoyable. Thanks for your help, you've clarified many mysteries about Spanish for me.
Is there any way that you can post another version of this video without the cuss word? I personally don't have a problem with it, but my school does. Thanks in advance.
You are missing the "vos" from argentina, which is actually having a different conjugation. Actually in old spanish there were 3 pronouns, "tú", "usted" y "vuestra merced", which became "vos" of very high respect. Finally Spain kept essentially "tú", south america "usted" and Argentina "vos" (which in old spanish sound like speaking to all the people like if they were the king)
The pronoun "you" is much easier in French. It's either "tu" (informal/singular) or "vous" (formal/plural). And there's no need to differentiate between masculine and feminine in either case.
+Louis Bourbon mais si vous êtes très formal avec tout le monde, alors tous les personnes seront-elles "vous" et vous devrez creer une nouveau forme pour être formal (usted = vuestra merced = your mercy) et pour savoir s'il est singulier ou pluriel vous ajouterai "les autres" "vos y los otros" o "vos y las otras"
You did not mention "vos'. Using that form for me would be difficult to master I think because I am so used to "tú". When I studied Spanish in high school and even in college "vos" was not very often heard. Also the verb form used with "vos" is different. I am not sure about the other tenses but I know it is different in the present. I am not sure but I do not think they use "vos" in Spain but since I have never been there I could be wrong.
+Clarence Hammer "vos" is a very informal "tú" in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and even Colombia as far a I know. It´s not used in Spain at all. My advice is to just stick to "tú" and learn "vos" if you want. It´s pretty much like learning British English and then introduced to American English. Regards!
i'm practicing my english a little more often watching your videos and it are pretty cool, helps me. For all which are studying spanish and needs to learn it fast for any reason exists a little trick: the conjugation of the verbs in third person is the same that for second person with the pronoun "usted". 2x1 learning ;P
"Vosotros" is only used in Spain as far as I know. At least in Venezuela if someone said it (other than a spaniard...) people would look at you like you're trying to be all fancy. Instead we just use "ustedes" (formal or informal, doesn't matter). Interestingly enough, in Portuguese, there is also "tu" = "tú" and "você" = "usted", but in Brazil they only say "você", whether it's formal or informal.
Orlando Rodriguez Ok i wrote the comment after like 50 seconds of the video, only to realize that you did mention the thing about "vosotros"... sorry :P
Me encanta tu canal jajaja es una forma divertida de aprender(claro esta yo de hablar español no me hace falta :p) pero me entretiene Saludos desde España😛
Hahahaha the cursing part cracked me up, good way to draw the attention back if someone ''wandered off'' :D Anyway, great job with all the vids! Thanks a lot! :D
There's actually one case where English has redundant pronouns; it's the "you" vs "thou" case. Very few native speakers actually know how to use all 2nd person singular and plural forms. We only learn the verb conjugations for the pronouns that are used in our own dialect, but all pronoun uses are mutually intelligible. So if you are a Spanish student, don't worry too much about what 2nd person pronouns you use nor whether you are being too formal or informal. Spanish speakers all over the world will understand your pronouns even if they sound clunky or foreign.
Shot fired without a provocation, given that there is no mention of any other video prior to me being called an asshole. Weird. Or sad, really, given that however you define someone else is a reflection of how you see yourself in this indescribable, unfathomable world.
The information in the video in general is good. The problem is that I use your videos with Middle school students and I believe the cursing words are NOT necessary. It damage your image. I'm not able to recommend your site without my supervision.
so does some parts of Colombia, Uruguay and all Central America, some. Guatemala for instance uses the three forms of singular you: Usted (very formal) Tu (friendly) Vos ( among good friends - very informal) .
You're right, the use of "Vosotro/as" in Hispanic America, is just used in Ecclesiastic language like in the Bible. That pronoun didn't stuck in Latin America mainly 'cause The southern Spaniards speak like the most Hispanic Americans. Hey! By the way, could you explain the correct demonym for the Americans in Spanish? I get stress when Americans say it wrong!
Thank you soooooo much! This is what I’ve needed to help me with my Spanish. I’ve been around it my whole life and have a good idea of the basics but having someone break down the language and explain how it works, rather than just memorizing, has been an immense help!
TooRawwMerkz I'll do a video about this soon. "Vos" is not necessarily the most formal. Usually not. Maybe in the past. But these days, when used in certain Latin American countries, it replaces "tú" so it's informal you. I can tell you for sure it's used in Argentina and parts of Nicaragua, because I've personally heard and used it there. I'm pretty sure and Ecuadorean guy on here said they use it there. I'll research the locations and make the video. You conjugate the word differently too. It's confusing. But important to at least be familiar with if you're traveling to those countries.
Gringo Español I am from a place in Colombia called Antioquia and vos tends to be a very common why of addressing someone. Historically vos was mostly used by peasants when speaking to those of higher rank than them.
Really we use it almost for anyone. Although we do tend use it for elders or people we are familiar with most of the time. Some common frases are "vos queres" or "vos sos".
In Spanish there are a few types of pronouns and one of them are "pronombres demostrativos" that refers to objects and depending on the proximity or how far to the spoker, we use "Esto" (near), "Eso" (mid distance) or "aquel" (far). And "ello" is a formal form to say "eso"; and it is why it is not used very often, because it is for formal language. If you have another question you can ask me!
the word "Usted" is traceable to the old phrase in monarchy time called "Vuestra merced". It has a common link when Spanish and Portuguese were part of the same origin. "Voce" (sorry i don´t got the Portuguese letter) is the similar word in Portuguese. The possible translation is "Your Majesty", "Your Mercy", or even "Your Highness". but contracted with the generations. or whatever the British monarchy use. maybe could be funny a video of common bad words, curse words in Spanish that are different to the English ones.
The Spaniards don't use the word "gringo." The Mexicans and the nations around Mexico invented that word to describe any fair skin American. "Gringo espanol" is a contradiction because the ethnic Spaniards are Aryans. By "Gringo espanol" are you trying to describe yourself as an American Spaniard?
This is the video that turned me off from this channel in my beginning stages of Spanish until way later and now this is my go to channel for spanish learning. I’m far too sensitive to be called an as***** 😂
Lol Cxb I think it's difficult for anybody who speaks one of the languages as a first language to know which is more difficult to learn. I never learned English. I just speak it. But I learned Spanish. So I can't comment. I see things that seem easier in English and others that seem easier in Spanish. This is a debate I've heard many, many times. I think they are both considered two of the easier languages in the world.
Just a recommendation: use the proper pronunciation, even when explaining. You’re better than “VOHS-oh-TROSS.” Makes it seem like gringos can’t actually learn the right accent for a language that’s not *really* that difficult.
Thanks for all the work but man, why do you pronounce "V" the English way and pronounce "Vosotros" and "Vosotras" and some other words so lengthened?!! As far as I've lisened to Spanish-speaking guys and watched some stuff in Spanish, this is not the way they pronounce words in this language!!
Gringo just means foreigners so unless you are from Spain or Latin America you are a gringo. That being said, it is often used as a derogatory term towards the English or Americans.
As a Spanish native speaker (I'm from Spain), you are doing a really great job! You explain the little but big differences in Spanish in a very easy and funny way. Congratulations!!
Watching this as a german native speaker: Learning something in a foreign language about another foreign language :D

so does some parts of Colombia, Uruguay and all Central America, some. Guatemala for instance uses the three forms of singular you: Usted (very formal) Tu (friendly) Vos ( among good friends - very informal) .

Really we use it almost for anyone. Although we do tend use it for elders or people we are familiar with most of the time. Some common frases are "vos queres" or "vos sos".

Can anybody explain what "gringo" means
The v in spanish actually has a "b" sound..
yo soy Vicente. (Bicente is how it would be pronounced)
In spanish the v and the b sound equal
There is 3 ways to say you in Spanish
1 usted
2tu
3 vos
Well that escalated quickly.
the word "Usted" is traceable to the old phrase in monarchy time called "Vuestra merced". It has a common link when Spanish and Portuguese were part of the same origin. "Voce" (sorry i don´t got the Portuguese letter) is the similar word in Portuguese.
The possible translation is "Your Majesty", "Your Mercy", or even "Your Highness". but contracted with the generations.
or whatever the British monarchy use.
maybe could be funny a video of common bad words, curse words in Spanish that are different to the English ones.
***** I'm gonna make a video about the whole usted/vosotros/vos thing one day for sure.
Gringo Español probably gonna be for a lot of help for a lot of people. thanks for answer
Gringo Español OMG....you speak soo fast....phewww
if is too fast to you to hear, play with slow motion. check the option button on TH-cam. is the second to the left to the full-screen button.
The Spaniards don't use the word "gringo." The Mexicans and the nations around Mexico invented that word to describe any fair skin American. "Gringo espanol" is a contradiction because the ethnic Spaniards are Aryans. By "Gringo espanol" are you trying to describe yourself as an American Spaniard?
Actually "gringo" was started in spain it only means 'foreigner" I now many white latinos calling anglos "gringos"
This is the video that turned me off from this channel in my beginning stages of Spanish until way later and now this is my go to channel for spanish learning. I’m far too sensitive to be called an as***** 😂
Man. good video. you just forgot "vos" the way to talk to the royalty. ;) and all diferent conjugation for every pronoun
Lol. Loved the swearing :D
I'm Spanish.English is more easier than spanish language
Lol Cxb I think it's difficult for anybody who speaks one of the languages as a first language to know which is more difficult to learn. I never learned English. I just speak it. But I learned Spanish. So I can't comment. I see things that seem easier in English and others that seem easier in Spanish. This is a debate I've heard many, many times. I think they are both considered two of the easier languages in the world.
oi mate you forgot "vos" voseo central American Spanish and south America
nice
Just a recommendation: use the proper pronunciation, even when explaining. You’re better than “VOHS-oh-TROSS.” Makes it seem like gringos can’t actually learn the right accent for a language that’s not *really* that difficult.
Thanks for all the work but man, why do you pronounce "V" the English way and pronounce "Vosotros" and "Vosotras" and some other words so lengthened?!! As far as I've lisened to Spanish-speaking guys and watched some stuff in Spanish, this is not the way they pronounce words in this language!!
Vosotros is used in Paraguay.
danke fur video.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Hi! I'm Español and I have to tell you that you pronunce wrong Hola. It is not houla, it is hola. Bye
Ya sé! Qué más?
not all of us are gringos :)
Gringo just means foreigners so unless you are from Spain or Latin America you are a gringo.
That being said, it is often used as a derogatory term towards the English or Americans.
we dont use ello in argentina we just use esto it o eso that and we dont use vosotros and vosotras
which means you "vos"
You're so cute :) But I watched your conjugation video
🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥
