- Knowing how to describe things in Spanish is very important, as it helps you deliver messages even if you don’t know a certain word, because languages are all about that! Delivering and understanding messages. So if you don’t know how to say something in Spanish, you can always describe it, and with this basic Spanish vocabulary you will get around describing just fine!

He is on the beach, but we *usually* say he is at the beach.
Yaaaa see? This is so confusing! Thanks!!
@@spanishafterhours "on" as a preposition of place usually refers to something that has 2 dimensions not 3. You sunbathe "on" the beach, the boat is "on" the sea (the surface), the fish are "in" the sea. If you say "at" the beach you are referring to the general area of the beach but you could be tomando una cerveza en una terraza
@@johnremargayla5131 I was referring to Laura's example: esta en la playa
and she said it would be "She is *in* the beach" which is incorrect. I only wanted to show the difference between "in" and "on", in the same way we sit *on* a chair not *in* or *at* a chair. My American friends agree that if we want to specify where a person is we would say *on* the beach/chair and if we say *at* the beach we mean NOT in the park or the mountains. La gracia de aprender idiomas és que hay tantas variaciones de expresiones y maneras de ver la vida. Entonces por una está *en la playa*, otra *a la playa* Pero bueno, lo más important és que podamos mejorar nuestro nivel de español mientras disfrutamos de la encantadora Laura @Spanish After Hours
yeah my Hispanic friends would always say “let’s go on the car” if we were leaving somewhere
Some people I know say, im in the train, I tell them its on the train, they come back with, but we're inside, maybe...but even if there wasn't a roof, you're still riding ON it. No doubt im going to be making the same mistakes learning Spanish.
If you were to say, "he's in the beach," in English, we might be inclined to think he's dead and buried in the sand. 😅
In English 'the beach' means the sand itself. So if you say someone is 'on the beach' it means they are standing on the sand. If you say they're 'at the beach' it means they're in the general area of the sand and may be on the sand, or on the boardwalk, or even in the parking lot. If you say they are 'in the beach' it means under the sand. To us, 'in the beach' means 'within the sand.' In this instance 'in' has a similar meaning to 'surrounded by.' Hope that helps.
I'm not a native English speaker but if you can replace "in" with "inside", it's "in", if not, it's "on". So "she's in the hotel" or "she's on the hotel's roof" :) In any case, these are great videos!😊
"In the beach" really just sounds like nonsense to me. I wouldn't assume someone was under the sand if you said that, I'd definitely be asking for clarification. "On the beach" sounds less weird, but I can't really imagine using that either.
@@derekschultz7807 You could say "We have a house on the beach." Or "there's a cafe on the beach."
I also just recently found your very fun-and-educative videos.
Trust me: I already learnt many from them. They are very helpful. And I also take your advice to listen to them again and again and again; it does help me understand more each time (don’t know why).
Please stay healthy during this difficult COVID time, so that you can continue to educate us who are around the world enjoying your videos 🤗.
Thank you very much for helping us learn Spanish.
Oh!! Thanks!! Thant's good to hear!! :))
Hi. I've only just discovered your channel so I'm slowly working my way through each episode. Fantastic. I love your approach......informative and fun. Learning a new language can be quite tedious but you make it pleasurable !!!
The boy is ON the beach but the book is IN the sand.
Nice!!! :) But why is the book in the sand!?!?!?!?! afjaksñfafsñdjafsif eNgLiSh
@@spanishafterhours I can understand how difficult it is to differentiate between "in" and "on" and it can be quite confusing as there are always exceptions to any "rule". Because the book is partially buried i would suggest it is "in" not "on".
"In" is perhaps similar to "dentro" in that it is "inside".
"On" is similar to "sobre"
For example....in the house, in the car, on the roof, on the seat etc
But as mentioned earlier....there are exceptions. English is a much harder language to learn (apart from verb conjugations...lol) as there are no rules...unlike Spanish.
My favourite example......tomb, bomb, comb are pronounced differently even though the only difference is the first letter . Very bizarre !
Your English is fantastic anyway...as is your personality. You are doing a fantastic job and you make it so much easier for a 68 year-old like me who finds it difficult to learn new things....or as we say in England.....it's difficult to teach an old dog new tricks.
I moved to Valencia a few years ago and absolutely love the culture, food, the weather (obviously !!!)....basically everything. Cuidate.
Nice!! I see! Because I usually just translate on/in to 'en', but with sobre and dentro I guess it's kind of easier to understand! Thanks for your kind words!! I'm glad I'm able to teach someone with way more life experience than me something new!! :)) I definitely still have to learn a lot of tricks about life!!
@@spanishafterhours the book could be on the sand too, depends on which context you are saying, like if I was stood a far distance away I might say, there’s a book on the sand over there. But if I moved closer then I might say there is a book in the sand
Depends on how in the sand the book is. If it's laying nicely on top, then it's on the sand, but if it's like really shoved in there then it's in the sand LMAO .
"He is on (top) of the beach." NOT....."He is in(side) of the beach."
Thank you so much for this video and all your other ones 💜 you are so helpful!
"On the beach" is the correct choice, but it is a weird phrase in English (why must English have so many exceptions to its rules 😭). It is unusual because usually, a person's location within a generic/unspecific area is "in" or "at". In fact, "at the beach" is used more often than "on the beach".
Hope this helps!
On the beach but in the sea if you are swimming. Of course it would be on the sea if you were in a boat.
Makes sense!! :)
You are too funny! I like your videos! Regarding your question ... He is (on) the beach, unless he is a gopher and burrowing (in) the sand, then he would be (in) the beach.
I'm so not Spanish fluent, so seems bajo = short as a person or low as in a location, maybe bajo can even mean under something IDK. Love your channel.
Ha ha! you cannot be IN the beach..
unless you mean that someone killed you and buried you down in the beach, in the sand!
ha ha.. you are so funny!
The correct is: I will be AT the beach!
you want to think of how you are relating to the place both physically and hierarchically to understand English ..
- you are AT something, meaning you are in an activity of some sort AT some place, like I am AT the cinema, AT the world cup, AT school... something is going on there , so you are at it!
- like he is AT baseball training but he is now IN the locker-room, and he is trained BY the national team coach IN person, and he is ON the way to getting really big IN the baseball world considering where he is AT IN his present level, At least IN our country.....
just cursing BY here tonight sharing some prepositions AT your TH-cam-channel IN the comments and hope that is OK BY you that I do so!
... ha ha...
He is on the "bitch"? This is definitely Spanish After Hours!
In the beach, on the beach? Many times I get those mix up as well. So let's just say he's at the beach. (A la playa) 🤭
I speak Spanish and I think the video goes to fast for those learning…
Ah, finally a guide to Spanish prepositions. The Spanish confusion with 'on' and ' in' when they speak English makes sense. I think the part about time approximation in ' hacia' is definitely cultural 😄
It's helpful how you are teaching the words in relationship to each other and then in what seems like a natural progression of how they might be used. Thank you.
I love your videos! estoy currently learning espanol y es muy dificil haha. Very confusing! I never realized how hard it was for non English speakers to understand the on/ in thing pero I can see how difficult it is haha. I am speaking spanglish to get comoda con using spanish words without having to think too much about it even if I am wrong or using it out of context. Gracias !! Your videos definitely ayuda me MUCHO.
Qué guay!!! Pues has clavado el spanglish! Ha puesto las palabras en el lugar correcto! I read it all in one go!! I'm glad you enjoy the videos!! :)) Seeing your comments like this really motivates me to keep making them!!
!Hola Ayanna¡, qué buen idea usar Spanglish para ganar confianza. ¿Cómo está tu estudia de español?
Current = actual. Currently = actualmente.
Hola, tienes las dientes mas bellas en youtube :)
I'm so glad that I found this channel.
I've been looking for good Spanish learning videos, and yours is the most intimate out of all the ones I saw. Now I get why people say watching youtubers that speak a target language is a good way to learn a language. Thank you so much for posting videos.
Btw, my favorites ones are the "vlog while learning Spanish".
On the beach or at the beach but never in. We would know what you mean but it would sound so funny.
😂😂
So basic and brilliant! Thank you sweetheart🙌🌸
Gracias. Gran video. Yo suscribo. Por favor, no dejes de hacer videos en español. Amo el idioma. Puedo leer un poco y escuchar un poco, pero no puedo hablar mucho.
He is on the beach sitting in the sand. Creo que en este caso, “la playa”, como ejemplo, es la excepción donde decimos, “on”, en vez de, “in”. Por ejemplo si un hombre fue a las montañas, diríamos que, “he is in the mountains”. No decimos, “on”, como en el caso de la playa. Pero si estamos hablando de la arena específicamente, pues, entonces, “in”. Por ejemplo, el hombre está sentado, “in”, la arena.
Me encanto tu boca. Es muy animada. Imagino para un estudiante de español, te puede seguir fácilmente porque tu boca misma parece forma de entendimiento…si esto tuviera sentido. No sé. Pero te entiendo mejor por causa de tu boca.
quieres un pizza?
es triangulo?
wh- no... es circulo.........
quiero pizza triangulo.
Eres una chica bonita
Tu eres muy bonita
my dream is to speak spanish as fluent as you speak english fluent :D
I have already gained my confidence in it a lot more than when i was younger so now ik i can do much better
That spanish rap at the beginning 👌
HAHAHHAHAHHA I WISH I knew how to rap xdd
If you're *_IN_* the beach, something has possibly gone very wrong. 😅 ... that is, that would tend to imply that you're buried in the sand.
Mediocre 😁 Mediocre 🤔 Grey is not ugly or pretty, just Mediocre 🥺 Thanks, from Gray 🤣🤣🤣 Gracias por tu ayuda, como siempre. 💓
Where are you from? I hear you use the "j" sound quite a bit :)
examples: soy DE Ucrania. Vivo EN Bulgaria. Yo quiero encontrarse con mi amiga HACIA las ocho. Trabaja como voluntario HASTA el 15 de febrero. No comprendo SOBRE que va esto. Mis colores favoritos son el ROJO, AMARILLO, MORADO, ROSA Y NEGRO. ESTE es mi chocolate favorito. Yo trabajo AQUI pero vivo ALLI. Esta tienda esta CERRADA, en mi ciudad todas las tiendas ABREN solo las fines de semana. Me gusta MUCHO mi ciudad pero me gusta POCO mi país porque mi país es muy GRANDE y mi ciudad es muy PEQUEÑO. Quiero aprender Español MAS. Soy BAJITA y tengo una amiga muy BONITA.
Gracias por este gran video! Eres muy hermosa!
Your pronounciation of "Sand" is actually german, in english it would be pronounced like "sänd", but also written "sand".
I love it when you had to get up and get the pencil, jajajaja! Genial video! Eres una buenisima maestra! BTW... no estoy en la playa.
The opposite of "tall" is generally "short," rather than "low" -- especially if youre talking about people
On the beach.! In the beach means your probably buried in the sand .😰 great vids!
La palabra que aprende es "FEO"!! (Which is the opposite of you ;) had never seen this word before! /facepalm But also the shapes, because somehow I have gotten away with not knowing shapes after about 2 years of learning Spanish.
And you can say "he/she/they/it" is/are ON the beach or AT the beach. Either are correct and commonly used all the time concerning an outdoors location. Unless it's a forest. We don't normally say "He is AT the forest". Normally it would be "He is IN the forest".
Thank you for all of your amazing videos. Ciao
I guess he is in the beach is incorrect. It just sounds wrong. On the beach is correct if the person is physically within the sand area. At the beach is also correct if the person is in a place considered within the beach area (not necessarily in the sand area)
Quiero mas agua y menos refresco. I'm still learning, so that might be an awkward sentence lol.
Muchas gracias. This is exactly what I needed. I can understand why you thought its he is in the beach because that actually makes more sense jajaj. But in English we say he is on the beach.
You don't say people are low 7:56 for short , It goes High vs Low , Tall vs Short . Someone Low would imply that they were a sketchy person, maybe a criminal ?
It's on the beach th-cam.com/video/-yXVufG5oV0/w-d-xo.html disfrutando de tus videos
Ayer he visto una Chica muy bonita y tenía un gato adorable que se llama Lassie
Está bien mi ejemplo?
You would never really use “in the beach”. If someone is there as in physical location, you would say Maria is at the beach. Use in when someone /something is inside something. Maria is in her house. She is literally inside her house. You can use in for non specific dates and seasons, like “In March it rained”. But specific dates, you would use on. “Let’s meet up on Friday”. “He was born on January first”. The only way “in the beach” would ever be correct was if he was inside the beach somehow, like literally buried into the sand. If you use in by mistake everyone will know what you are saying, but it is not correct.
Your lessons are excellent but this one was rapido, muy rapido. Tengo un pregunta. When you want tao ask for a beer in a bar can you say me pone una cerveza? And are there different words for can of beer or s draft beer. Muchos gracias!!!
in the sand at the beach , on the sand at the beach , on the beach , at the beach , but I think that "in the beach" would be rare and maybe literary or scientific usage--Languages get pretty iffy at the outliers. In French there is a book called "Le Bon Usage" , which kind of blows you away at the many unusual ways you can bend French Grammar Rules
my sentence: quiero aprender sobre la cultura de España en la idioma y visitar un país de español.
You totally confused me with tras and detras. I've only heard of detras and you barely went over it in the video and confused me. Could you go over detras again?
Tengo el libro verde que esta cerrado. El libro esta sobre la mesa.🙂
Saludos desde Polonia🇵🇱
Las menzanas estan pequeñas :) I'm good right?
Me gustan los vídeos sobre aprender español. Yo necesito :3
prepositions are not easy.
i knew a korean girl in san francisco.
she said "it's cold, let's go to on in the car. i don't know which one is correct but let's do it."
poor thing had memorized every preposition and the definition but didn't know which one to use.
btw it's on the beach. if you said in the beach you would be saying buried up to your head in sand.
we say on the beach which means our feet and our feet only are touching the beach.
Ponme esto aqui, triangulo de color morado :D Este esta debajo la sofa. No bonito y no feo. Tenemos decir que este es mediocre. :)
Can a lot of the time think of ‘in’ for inside. He is in(side) his house.
And on is like on top of. He is on his car - Por ejemplo
At 7:15 the English translation says: "I only like bog dogs"
bog= pantano
I can’t imagine not starting with these basic words like what they say at the full CI camp
in the beach would mean in the sand in my opinion, but i would still understand what you ment, on the beach works, but to me i would say ``he is at the beach``
someone that is short not low . Thanks for the video.
Very useful video. I endeavour to start at the very beginning and carefully re watch all your videos. Now that my skill level has improved, I should get more out of these. 😎
Yeah I think you are right , the book is in the sand but the sand IS the beach so , yeah , in the beach is logically equivalent !
it's equally confusing for a non-hispanohablante to use 'corriendo a lo largo de la playa' but we have to do it
Por ejemplo,
Mi botella de agua está en la mesa
Eres muy bonita. ¡Solo usando un ejemplo! Gracias por el video.
As a colourblind person, using colours to describe object has its issues...
I need short stories especially for the beginners like kids. I belive if i start as possible as at the begining it will be so usefull for me. As a result necesito muchos libros para las hijos para leer as pdf of course.
at the beach, definitely. I tell you as a Russian native speaker!
Alto y bajo - mi amigo es alto y yo es bajo o medio. My friend is tall and I am short or not so short or tall.
Is this correct?
Thanks for this video.
The book has sand picture or the book with sand pictures
Tell me please why you speak fast like someone is chasing you..🙄
ON, not IN. that would be like saying . El esta adentro or debajo de
Esa chica de alli es muy bonita. Creo que su nombre es Laura.
In school I learned a rhyming trick for esa y esta - “this and these have t’s (esta y estas), that and those don’t (esa y esas)
Io sono studiare Espanico por oi. Gracias por les studiares buenos!
mi gato es gris y grande. mi otra gato es blanco y pequeño
I glanced around my room and came up with this example sentence: La caja verde este al lado de la lampara blanca. y en la mesa de madera.
Laura, nada de inglés, por favor. Solo español.
Mi gata es muy pequeña!) Tu eres muy bonita. Se mi gata
Gracias por encellarme un poco.Fabuloso..🌹
Hola! Gracias para el vídeo! Yo quiero estudiar español!
Después de trabajar, quedamos sobre las 7 de la tarde. Podemos quedar al lado del restaurante.
Thank God I found your channel,
Thank you for being on TH-cam
I was searching for a professional channel to learn Spanish, I guess I found it..!! ❤️❤️
Este camiseta es bonita. Aquello camiseta alli es feo.
On the beach is fine, in the beach would mean under the sand.
Tras la cena, solo estaba tras el chocolate y el vino tras la puerta del cabinate.
The English doesn't translate.
He is *at* the beach.
I've only been learning español for four days and it makes me grateful to have found your channel early on! Thank you for doing your best to make language learning fun. I'm Filipino, apparently, we're supposed to learn español fast, but I have my doubts haha. Wish me luck!
hows your journey going
¿Puedes pasarme mi libro? Está allí
Eso gato de color negro y blanco en la mesa es muy grande y muy bonito. 🙈
Have you done a video about how to trill the r's ??
el ejemplo:
aquello carro tras de la pared es verde y bonito
eso correcto? :o
Esta maestro es muy bonita y mejor de TH-cam !
Mi bebe es jugando detras mi sobre la cama. Si?
Estoy enfrente de mi ordenador viendo este video que es muy bonito
Laura is a good teacher and very pretty 👍🏻
"The t-shirt of my sister is red." Hmmmm....Why wouldn't it be "Mi hermana's camiseta es roja?
I don't think romance languages use the " 's " thingy (whatever it's called. Lo siente, no recordo). Instead the word "de" is used which literally means "of"
Por ejemplo : "La camiseta de mi hermana"
O "La casa de papel" etc
Edit : Correct me if I'm wrong. Gracias amigos
Okay...imma try, soy bajoto y mediocre.
Tras ver el video, dejé un comentario.
Por un ejemplo… Ella es baja - she is short
mi escuela esta cerrada porque la hora es hacia las 6
Mi grande perro sobre las mesa comio mi comida 😭
