In this video, we'll be talking about the phrase 'Me gusta', which could be roughly translated as 'I like' and how to use it with verbs to tell what you like to do. Hope it's helpful!

Senor Jordan is eternal
I pay for spanish classEs every week and have been doing so for months. I have learned more in the past hour watching your videos than I have from months of weekly classes with a paid teacher. THANK YOU!!!!!!
love how all the comments are from over half a decade ago...but anyways, this video useful as heck
Whenever I watch these videos the preceding advertisements are in Spanish. That's the only time I agree to watch them in their entirety!
I agree - I do the same thing!
@Truthbearer1
Depende de quien estás hablando.... pero si estás hablando de ti mismo, puedes decirlo de la siguiente manera: "me gusta acostarme temprano"
Well I'm glad that you like my videos! As far as your concern... I do have various mistakes in my videos... but the one you mentioned with "gusta" + mutliple infinitives is actual correct as presented in my video. I confirmed with native speakers before making the video on which "sounded right." And I recently went back to google, "gustar with multiple infinitives" and it is the singular third person form.
¡Gracias a vos!
That's what I figured. Gracias.
Thanks a lot Senor Jordan! I've been playing "my spanish coach" for a couple months and being able to learn using a different style is extremely helpful. I really appreciate the time you put into the videos, they really are extremely helpful.
+thoughtsthroughsound Glad that the vids are helping you! Thanks for your kind comment! ;-)
get off youtube now or im gonna slap ya in your face
Glad you are finding them helpful! :-)
I have a few other videos on "gustar" involving nouns. Basically "me gusta" would be for one thing
Me gusta la película. (I like the movie)
while "me gustan" would be for more than one thing.
Me gustan las películas. (I like the movies)
Hi Jordan, I have seen many courses in many languages. Your lessons are fantastic!
What I find very good is that you combine classic approach like:
-very good selection of words and grammar
-simple explanations
-best organization of the "page"
-you and your presentation etc.
with minimum but sufficient modern technology
-dynamic contents of the page
I hope everybody here not only learns Spanish with you but also learns how to learn a language. You are on the right way :-)
As far as "escuchar" or "oír", the preference there might depend on the native speaker.
But I would think that when playing an instrument, the preferred structure would have the "el" or "la". In this case, "la" for guitarra.
--Carlona ¿te gustaria ir a la galeria fotográfica en el centro de Londres la semana que viene?
-No se le permite comer allí / ahí, pero puedes comprar té/café y sandwichesí.
-perdón por la tardanza jeje
sorry i'm late ... :D
@2einhalbmaenner
Thanks for your question. I remember when I was making this video I asked some of my friends (from Mexico) and they said that it sounded better when using verbs to use the singular form... think of it like: "Playing guitar pleases me... as does singing and drawing."
had to these for spnaish!
@KBAFourthtime
It's indirect... because gustar literally means "it is pleasing (to person)"
(A ella) Le gustan los dulces.
Señor Jordan, mi clase de Español y yo realmente disfrutamos sus videos. ¡Excelente trabajo!
BRO U SAVE MY LIFE!! U SHUD BE PROUD OF UR SELF FOR THIS GREAT SERVICE . NOT ONLY JUST SPENDING TIME ON RECORDING SOMEHITNG BUT ALSO TO MAKE IT WELL ORGANIZED SO FOR US , BEGINERS TO UNDESTAND THIS. THANK YOU
Close:
(A mí) Me gustas.
I believe you can use either. It might be a regional difference or a personal preference or it might even have a slight nuanced meaning. Something to be careful of: just because "mirar" translates to "to watch / to look" and "ver" translates to "to see" doesn't mean that you won't hear "mirar" used at times and it might sound better in the translation as "to see"...
Another fun example occurs with "escuchar" (to listen) and "oír" (to hear). "Escuchar" is sometimes used as "hear".
God bless you. You are doing a wonderful thing and you're a great teacher!
I didn't really understand the whole two NOs thing, I love these lessons you explain so much for a confused beginner!
thanks this guy is an OG on utube
Lol, these old videos really show how far you've come, Senor Jordan!
close... (a mí) me gusta...
The structure really says 'to me it is pleasing' (a mí is to emphasize it more)
@musicrover531
if you want to talk about really liking / loving something, you can use "me encanta"... it's like gustar....
These videos really help me with my Spanish tests. Thanks for helping me raise my grade!
I never thought I'd be back here
Welcome back!
@RatChieftain
Something to understand when learning a different language is that things are different in the language (and the way sentences are structured is too).
So in English while I might say:
I like to eat.
Do you like to eat. (adding "Do" for a question)
in Spanish, we don't add those extra words at the beginning of the sentence to tell us "do" "did", etc...
Me gusta comer. (I like to eat.)
¿Te gusta comer? ((Do) You like to eat?)
It's not hard. It's just different.
Hola,
Yo soy español y lo correcto es decirlo en singular: Me gusta tocar la guitarra y cantar. En español sólo se tiene en cuenta lo que hay antes de "y" para saber si se pone en plural o en singular. Tocar la guitarra = singular, por lo tanto se dice "me gusta".
Por ejemplo, podrías decir: Me gustaN laS guitarraS y cantar, ya que "las guitarras" (lo que va antes de "y") es plural.
@ageist3
in this case, 'hablar por telefóno', you talk by [way of] the telephone. It is the means through which you talk. That's why we use por.
Thank you for being there.
TY, you make studying for my final easy :) Gracias profesor Daniel, hablando espanol is muy dificil para mi :)
@1eyesnipe
the 'r' on the end of 'nadar' can often translate to "to"... so "nadar" = "to swim"... "bailar" = "to dance", etc
Otra vez, le agradezco. Añado varios de sus "links" a mi blog cada capítulo. Ayuda mucho a los estudiantes que faltan clase.
seriousely , you are a great teacher , you make learning spanish looks sample and fun . thank you so much for all the videos .
Se podría explicar la enfatización de "A mi" y que se puede usar o no, porque en el verbo ya viene de manera implícita la persona que habla (Me gusta) igual que con
(A ti/vos)Te gusta
(A él/ella)Le gusta
(A nosotros)Nos gusta
En el caso particular:
(A ustedes)Les gusta
(A ellos/ellas)Les gusta
Si sería necesario hacer énfasis para que no pierda significado
@Vlann94 You are wrong. Spanish is my native language. The two correct forms are:
1. Me gusta viajar (I like to travel)
2. A mí me gusta viajar (I like to travel)
Number one is preferred.
@wittyworldlee
'me' => to me; for me; myself
In this video: to me
'mí' is what we use after a preposition like "a" (to), "de" (of, from), "sobre" (about), "hacia" (towards), etc to mean "me"
In the video "a mí" means "to me"
very concise and informative. easy to learn
Great videos. You're fluent in both languages, and don't waste our time conjugating vosotros. I plan on watching both series in their entirety.
Gustar is a special verb, it does not conjugate as the other 'AR' verbs: yo gusto, tu gustas... NO!
Gustar really translates as "to be pleasing" so when you say: Me gusta = it pleases me. "A mi me gusta" it's pleasing to me. I hope it helps.
yo espero que aprendan también
but it's not only used in those forms.
Eg:
Me gustas --> I like you. ('You're pleasing to me')
¿Te gusto? --> Do you like me? ('Am I pleasing to you?')
@thisthatandtother . No se usa la palabra "para" dentro de "me gusta" como una sola frase.
Ejemplos correctos:
-"Me gusta, para cenar bien, ir al restaurante X" or
"Para cenar bien, me gusta ir al restaurante X" (esta segunda frase suena mejor).
Son dos frases..
Precisiones a lo que escribiste:
1. adentro=dentro (la "a" no va separada de la palabra "dentro")
2. ¿Y cuándo está bien hacerlo?
Espero haberte ayudado.
Saludos
With gustar, when first teaching the verb, we tend to oversimplify the explanation...
gustar means 'to please / be pleasing to'
(A mí) Me gusta la clase.
(Class is pleasing to me. / Class pleases me.)
This is why we'll pluralize it for more than one object:
(A mí) Me gustan las clases.
(Classes are pleasing to me. / Classes please me.)
Of course, no one says that in English, we say 'I like, you like'
Thanks for teaching me
I really love it :))
This is actually kinda...fun 0.o (shhhh Im enjoying learning)
ur videos are a blessing.
the way u teach is just amazing!
i find ur video are very fun and helpful ,unlike other boring ones out there.
I ll watch all of your videos to learn spanish ,
thank u so much for what u do, it means soooo much to us.
have a good day!!!!
@AlannaLoren
verbs don't change based on gender... which actually makes things easier in the long run ;-) There are languages I believe that have many more forms.
"Yo" is the subject... it's what tells us who does the action.. (me gusta is a weird one because it's actually saying "___ pleases me")
"Me" is the object of the verb.. In English it would go after the verb... "[subject] [verb] me" and it might translate to "myself" "to me" "for me" or simply "me" after the action.
This is the short answer. Does that kind of help? ;-)
you're right:
tocar = to touch
it can also mean 'to play' with musical instruments
jugar = 'to play' with games, sports
Thank you! Your videos are great reinforcement for my Spanish 1 Class. I appreciate your clarity and the quality of the videos.

How to say Carolina 'what do you like to do? Do you like to go the photography class or do you like to go to library today?
@androstempest
I completely agree. But just like with the pronouns before verbs, it's used more so for emphasis. So if someone is talking about their likes and I enter the conversation saying: "a mí me gusta"... kind of like... "well I like...." [emphasis on I]
Quite helpful, thanks!
Me gusta este chico. Me gusta este clase.
@Vlann94
Actually from my understanding, I think you're confusing Italian with Spanish. In Italian you can't use both "a me" and "mi" before 'piace'
In Spanish you can use both simultaneously.
(A mí) Me gusta viajar. (A mí is optional but not necessary... it can be used for emphasis). The "me" is necessary in the sentence.
With other people pleasing you then, you'll have to take into account who is doing the pleasing....
That's why we construct the sentences the following way.
In all honesty, it's one of a few verbs that follow this slightly confusing structure:
(A mí) Me gusta... = It pleases me. / I like it.
(A mí) Me gustas. = You please me. / I like you.
(A mí) Me gustan... = They please me. / I like them.
yes... good job! and "tocar el piano"
ME GUSTA esta leccion.
Senor Jordan, gracias.
Thanks!
A mi clase y yo nos gusta mirar tus videos
gustar = to be pleasing (to something)
me gusta correr = running is pleasing to me / I like to run.
Hi! I started now to check these videos, and I find it very very useful, so thank you very much for making lessons like this!
@AlannaLoren because it does not apply to verbs - but to nouns, adjectives (and if I am not wrong) to adverbs. But not verbs!
German and Portuguese also have gender for nouns (o/a for PT and die/der/das for DE)...
Me gusta learning from your videos!
Also, I do know there are occasions in English an article is not necessary, which I have been wondering if my query is in the same occasion. Thanks again, :)
you are very good speaking spanish,me gusta como enseñas ojala alguien me enseñara a mi ingles
@AlannaLoren
the feminine and masculine thing applies to nouns... not verbs.
example :
canta - she sings (could mean he sings too)
cantar - to sing
so heres the sentense...
me gusta cantar - i means i like TO sing
if you said me gusta canta it would mean i like she sings. which wouldnt make since.!
so the feminine and masculine thing dosnt apply to verbs because it wouldnt make sense (:
I do classes at the Venezuelan Institute which is in Barbados as well as in other caribbean islands, so i guess most of the stuff being taught is based on their culture.
the (a mi) situation is similar to the redundant Spanish some phrase books use. for example to say "I speak Spanish" some phrase books write it "Yo Hablo Español" but like the "me" in "me gusta" the "o" in "Hablo" already tells you who speaks. It's difficult for English people to get this to begin with as we don't conjugate verbs in the same way. "
Nicolas Lopez ❤
me gusta- i like
te gusto-you like me
le gusto-she likes me,he likes me
etc...
Sr. Jordan, I regularly use your videos in the high school Spanish classes I teach; students relate well to you. Thank you! I have seen only one error in all of the videos I have watched. When liking more than one thing, even actions, the verb becomes gustan. ex: Me gustan tocar la guitarra y cantar. Because the subject of the sentence is plural, the 3rd person plural form of the verb is needed. Granted, I think I would hear more native Spanish-speakers say this incorrectly as 'gusta'.
buen hecho! eres un gran ayudante
@ptorcher1
You're too kind thank you!
sus vídeos son el mejor, aprendo español de la música de reggaeton.....ahora puedo aprender mucho más fácil........asi que, gracias (:
@tontitofrito "She is pleasing to me" Couldn't help but giggle at that. Great videos btw! Been a great help for my begginers Spanish course at uni!
Thank you! I'm learning Spanish, and this was great practice!
@tontitofrito that is true. Im spanish and I always say Me gusta estudiar but other times I find myself saying: "a mi me gusta something", because our language has many combinations!!! you can use whatever you want and we ll understand you :)
Gracias me gusta mi profesor señor borja
This a bit like in the Russian language. There is no subject in this phrase in Russian either unless indicated WHAT I actually like. "Me" is an object. So, to me it's a little bit easier to catch. You're giving a good comparison: "It pleases me", in fact in Spanish (or Russian) it goes without anything like "it", just "Pleases me".
@TheKittengoddess
Exactly, i means : to me. But there's actually a mistake in this video.
There are ways to say you like something:
1. Me gusta viajar. (I like travelling)
2. A mí gusta viajar. (I like travelling)
You can't say; A mí me gusta viajar.
thanks for all your videos
one question about this plz : what's the difference between "me gusta" and "yo gusto"?
I had to watch this for homework
cheers nice ice breaker questions to use when i practice my spanish
Great question.
Me gusto = I am pleasing to myself.
If you were speaking in the past tense, you could say: 'Me gustó ____" (I liked it___ / It pleased me).
Eg: Me gustó la película.
In the present tense though... 'me gusto' isn't commonly heard. I suppose if you were joking around with a friend and they talked about how un-likeable you were, you could technically say "A mí me gusto"... as a joke. But otherwise, I can't think of a context and that would still probably sound kinda funny.
If I like to do something...
Me gusta + [infinitive]
No 'que' is needed.
When you say "me gusta", is "me" direct or indirect? Like for "she likes candy", do you say "la gusta dulce" or "le gusta dulce".
What is the name of the kind of verb gustar is? (Like dormirse is a REFLEXIVE verb, gustar is a...... verb..)
yo gusto = I am pleasing / I please
so...
te gusto = I please you ... or you like me
le gusto = I please him or her..... or he / she likes me
les gusto = I am pleasing to them ... or they like me
When you want to say "I like" you're really saying that "[something] is pleasing to me" ---> Me gusta(n)
me gusta = I like
(yo) gusto = I am pleasing (to someone/something?)
"(yo) gusto" by itself isn't really used.
@tontitofrito actually he is right, i am learining spanish in school right now and he said it right....
I know! Seriously.
Senor jordan is my dad i love his videos and he cures my depression at night
