I learned Spanish in prison and they told me not to worry about the vosotros form because I'll never use it unless I go to Spain so it throws me off when I hear it
@personofpowera.b.c990yes, but it’s in beta and only available for some premium users for now. They have plans to release the app to everyone this year, if I understand correctly :)
No aprendí mucho de Duo lingo por los primeros 4 niveles pero después del número cuatro realizarme que las lecciones están más informadas. Ya estoy completo con todos los 8 niveles que tienen Duo lingo para el idioma español y tengo oro en cada examen hasta el nivel 4.5. No uso sola una forma durante mi proceso de aprendizaje es muy importante para usar todas las formas Música, leyendo libros de tu propio nivel, escuchando los videos en TH-cam, escribiendo sobre un papel, y más importante que todo es hablando con las hispanohablantes.
As a non-beginner I was just curious what this video was about. Didn't expect it to be a super funny sketch. Andrés and Andrea's acting is buenísimo, and Andrés asking for tequila was well-time humor. I was in stitches by that point. More of these videos ¡por fa! 😂🙏
🤣🤣 yes yall are on point. I wasted a whole year on duo thinking it would get me fluent like it advertised years ago. Didn’t help me much. All I remember is yo como manzanas 😅😂😂😂
This is the BEST one they've ever done. Using this to market to friends to watch their videos. Andy... me encanta, eres graciosa y estoy agradezco para ti. Muchas gracias de un aprendedor.
This is hilarious! Love it! Duolingo does not like “vos” and tries to force using “tú.” I appreciate Dreaming Spanish supporting multiple ways of communicating in Spanish.
Hahaha. This is really funny. Actually, I find Duolingo particularly good for learning spanish -- its content brings you up to a B2 level! I started learning spanish 3 months ago using Duolingo, and I find that I'm making quite good progress. Thanks to Duolingo, I actually understand 90% of what is spoken here in this video.
Agreed. However it is slow, so many will get discouraged. The further you progress, there are more serious topics, like purchasing a home, mortgages, repairs, workplace scenarios, the environment, the news, sports, politics, etc..
What an entertaining and fun video with hilarious mishaps that definitely occur if you just use Duolingo! I have been on a Spanish journey for quite a long time. Tried many of the different systems and while I learned lots of individual Spanish words, I found it difficult to understand and converse. Dreaming Spanish is the first program I have run across that is so much fun and easy to learn. I have the premium subscription and it is worth every penny! They use a comprehensible input style of learning, similar to immersion-- how we all learned our primary language as a baby. I am such a fan of the various teachers--Andrea, Alma, Augustina, and Shel. The videos are wonderful and my Spanish comprehension is increasing by the day! Bravo, Pablo for creating such a wonderful program!
Haha- yes this is a cute sketch! I think it's important to remember that a beginner of any type, Duolingo or not, would be in much the same situation as these two. It looks like your poor friends have only taken the first lesson or two and they are doing GREAT for only one lesson! Superb pronunciation and conjugation! I assure you I wasn't doing as well as them after just one or two lessons! Haha so many manzanas! Love it and thanks for the video!
This is one of the best one's yall have put out in a minute. Disfruté este video mucho, espero que creas mas videos como esto en el futuro, me gustan mucho. :) Feliz nuevo año mis amigos.
Please make at least one of these videos everyday so that I can keep up my daily streak! How many points and crowns do I receive for watching this video? 👑😂
I love, Andrea ❤❤❤ she has taught me how to properly pronounce certain words that I thought I was pronouncing correctly to begin with, but I was actually leaving letters out of the words.
This is really funny and accurate, everything on Duolingo is so random🤣(estoy aprendiendo español por hablando a gente de Venezuela en mi país en lugar de Duolingo).
This was so good. This is definitely how duolingo starts. But I'm not ready to give up my duolingo 970 day streak. 1 lesson a day, then rack up the CI hours (660 hours). Wish i would have found DS first, but i didn't, and I'm not a quitter 😢😂
I just started using Duolingo to brush up on Spanish and begin learning Catalan. In my case, it's not las manzanas, instead it's how specific they are about the location of the bathroom. In Catalan, they are always saying "el lavabo del tren" or "el lavabo de l'aeroport" (still learning the use of articles in Catalan). I think people would think I'm nuts stating the obvious with what mode of transportation. At least, when I'm on a plane or in a specific building, I don't include the place when asking for the bathroom as I'm sure the person I'm asking knows where we are. Also, it does not help with pronunciation as it will accept a complete butchering of a word. I know the pronunciation of most beginner-level words, however, I'll stumble over a few of them when they are paired with certain words. I'm glad I found Dreaming Spanish to use as additional input. I've already spent an unknown amount of time listening to Latin music. I see expanding my knowledge of conversational words and topics as being key to helping with the confidence to practice speaking.
Right, it's too curated, this is why Pablo said he kind of wish he wouldn't have listened to so many audio books, it's not natural, it's best to probably do a mixture of both, (not the duolingo stuff), I mean just stories but focus mostly on regular conversations.
Yeah its great if you have little to zero knowledge of spanish. definitely speeds the process up a bit. I still use it occasionally to help my comprehension/know how words are pronounced. its not all bad as long as you aren't just using that to learn. But that goes with anything in language learning. It's important to have several different sources of learning
That’s a good point. You can’t have comprehensible input if you know literally nothing. Surely it’d take you months just to comprehend the basics. It does have random sentences and I reckon this video is inspired by that famous skit by that Aussie lady on TH-cam. I must say though LOVE Duolingo stories and their podcast content is easily better than Dreaming Spanish’s content in terms of holding my interest and variety (not that DS is bad).. I’ve listened to all of them multiple times but now want content purely in Spanish.
There's actually an app now that's similar to comprehensible input because it uses mainly pictures. It's called Drops. No need to use Duolingo to get started
So good 🤣 I spend 2 years on duolingo before i found this site. Only audio input i got was from the bizarre cartoon like accents. Oh and constant pedantic spelling tests, to ensure my Spanish 'skills' were good enough to proceed. I might go back to it when i get to 1500 hours or so.
Es necesario combinar algo que ya conocemos (como la historia básica de Estados Unidos) con el aprendizaje del español. Ven a las misiones españolas de California y haz un recorrido en video a pie y conversando. Hay dos excelentes, que están a una distancia de 25 millas una de la otra. Una es Santa Ynez en Solvang y la otra es La Misión de la Purísima Concepción de la Santísima Virgen María o simplemente Purísima. Ya sabes que a los estadounidenses nos encanta acortar todas las palabras y expresiones, si podemos.😃✈
You stand a better chance learning more Spanish via AI than via Duolingo. But the Most important is speaking in a dialogue, and we can only practice this via actual conversations with a Spanish Speaker
Question for anyone using these videos to learn Spanish…as a “advanced beginner,” should I try to understand their conversation (I.e., translate in my head as they talk) or just listen to the conversation and I will learn to understand gradually as I go?
just listen and understand what you can, then move on to the next video, your brain will remember and eventually connect the dots. don't over think, just watch :)
What has worked for me is to definitely try NOT to translate but rather focus on the sounds of the words in Spanish. When sentences get longer and/or faster you will not have time to translate so now is the time to get into the habit of focusing on the Spanish sounds and letting their meaning "come to you." If you want to be more "deliberate" about your learning, figure/find out the meaning of words after viewing and then watch again. Then the Spanish words will mean something to you without the translation step. This make take several listens but eventually the Spanish sounds will immediately have meaning for you without translating.
If they had been DS users it would have been “my friends have only been practicing every day for an hour for two and a half years, they aren’t ready to speak yet,” while they make pre verbal noises like Luna
I thought this was going to be pedantic. But I laughed way too much. When I was speaking with Mexicans learning French, they said Duo focuses on pizza. Lol.
I remember in school they taught us the names of a bunch of balls used for sports. Why are you teaching me about volleyballs and beach balls? I don’t know how to order food!
So I wanted to add this to my list of things to help me learn Spanish. The problem is that I noticed that you're speaking Spaniard Spanish and I'm trying to learn Latin American Spanish because my wife is from Ecuador and I'm from Miami. She tells me that she fully understands Spaniards despite the slight differences in conjugation, but she's not sure if learning from a course that teaches Spaniard Spanish would help or hurt me. I really liked this video and I'm interested, but I don't want to screw up what I already know and scramble my learning. Has anyone had a similar scenario? Are Spaniard Spanish and Latin American Spanish really THAT different?
No, and there are plenty more dialects within Latin America alone, just so you're aware. The cuban accent is not like the mexican accent, for example. Even myself coming from a Mexican family, my accent is a mix of my family's influence, my education and other experiences, so I don't have a Mexican accent really. Andrés is from Spain, so he has that spanish lisp accent and he uses 'vosotros' (you all plural, informal). That's really the only different conjugation ADDITION, I'd say, because Spaniards also use 'ustedes' but purely for more formal instances, for the most part. But Andrea is actually from Mexico. She has a different accent and doesn't use 'vosotros'. It doesn't matter though, you just focus on whichever dialect you're more exposed to (in this case it sounds like ecuadorian per your wife) and then you'll recognize the differences, over time, with other dialects. And all the teachers on Dreaming Spanish are from different countries which helps with the dialect diversity. They have videos solely on this topic alone, where the teachers literally teach themselves words they know but are said differently outside their native countries (like the word for pool: 'alberca' in Mexico, 'piscina' in Spain, etc.). I wouldn't overthink this if I were you, but if you really don't want to sound like a Spaniard, then just try not to pronounce words like the Spanish. It's not that difficult, and I think developing your own accent is one of the last things you start to care about. At the beginning, I'd focus more on vocabulary and learning how to communicate. Saludos y buena suerte.
Thank you for the explanation! I did notice that it only seemed to be coming from him. So many teachers are from different countries and speak in their own native version of Spanish. That's actually really cool, as when you begin to advance, you'll likely be able to tell accents apart easier.

I had to come all the way out of the app and over to TH-cam just to say that this skit was amazing! Thanks for the laughs!
There’s an app?
Same! I knew I couldn’t miss out on the comments on the site or on YT! 🤣
@ Yes, it’s in beta. It may only be for paid subscribers? (But you should know that the extra content is well worth the monthly cost!)
@personofpowera.b.c990yes, but it’s in beta and only available for some premium users for now. They have plans to release the app to everyone this year, if I understand correctly :)
@@ackerman1008 it's free, but some of the content is only accessible for paid members. It's definitely worth it.
I'm a little over 650 hours, and I'll still watch beginner videos if Andrea is in them. This one actually made me LOL.
Yeah she seems to have the most personality (at least in terms of humor) out of all of them, and I've heard most if not all of them at this point.
Her judgy “¿habl-AHS español?” is everything 😂
4:36
Andrea: Tu hablas español?
Andrés: Yo, sí. No sé vosotros.
Lmao 😊😂
If y'all made a comedy channel or film not even related to learning Spanish, I think a lot of people would still watch 😆
Totally agree. I used to use Duo - I think I had an entire unit on Apples 😂
Yes but guess how well I know las manzanas, ahora?! 😂 How would I have ever become an expert on fruit jaja 😂
I know! I dream about apples! 🍎 🍏
I was also so confused when it popped up Boligrofo instead of Pluma
Only one? Years ago I swore a third of the content was apples
Amigo, screw Duolingo! Las telenovelas are mucho más divertidas. That's how I learned Spanish.
It is OBSESSED with apples 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probablamente no es una opinión popular, pero Duolingo me ha ayudado a entender los videos de DS mucho más rápido. Y gratis.
A mi también

This is hilarious! Love it! Duolingo does not like “vos” and tries to force using “tú.” I appreciate Dreaming Spanish supporting multiple ways of communicating in Spanish.
Vos is only used in Argentina and Uruguay
@ also, Paraguay, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Colombia, Bolivia and Costa Rica
@@katieromanoNope, usted. Noob you have no idea what you’re saying 😂 Vos is for white people.
@@katieromanoYeah, not everyone uses it.

Agreed. However it is slow, so many will get discouraged. The further you progress, there are more serious topics, like purchasing a home, mortgages, repairs, workplace scenarios, the environment, the news, sports, politics, etc..
B2 is deep advanced. I needed 25 years of English to reach C1 and that's still one step below native.

I love, Andrea ❤❤❤ she has taught me how to properly pronounce certain words that I thought I was pronouncing correctly to begin with, but I was actually leaving letters out of the words.
This video has such Section 1 Duolingo Spanish vibes
Duo gets so much hate, but if you get to the higher levels, you do learn a lot
I just made it to level 2 this morning so i'm SOOO EXCITED to jump into the beginner videos!!!!
The *muy taco* part. I am dead and buried 😂😂😂
Never thought i'd lol so hard at a spanish learning video. Well done!
Andrea, eres increíble 😂🎉 Me gustó mucho el video. Gracias
❤❤❤
This is really funny and accurate, everything on Duolingo is so random🤣(estoy aprendiendo español por hablando a gente de Venezuela en mi país en lugar de Duolingo).
Hablando, no por hablando. No puedes aprender un idioma traduciendo te tu lengua nativa palabra a palabra.
This is great. This should be a series.
I have 1000 hours and I’ve never used Duolingo. No matter. I still thought you were both brilliant in this video. Rock on!
This was so good. This is definitely how duolingo starts. But I'm not ready to give up my duolingo 970 day streak. 1 lesson a day, then rack up the CI hours (660 hours). Wish i would have found DS first, but i didn't, and I'm not a quitter 😢😂
what would happen if you streak came to an end?
I ended 400 days quite happily when I started DS. Break the streak - be free!
@@imminicheddars Yes, break free! It's just a manipulation tactic to keep you hooked.
Im on 975 so I definitely feel you!! 😂😂😂
@imminicheddars 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly 😂
I tried duolingo and spent month in " manzanas"
Now just subscribed to your Channel and it's good one
Thanks a lot !
Muchas gracias por este video! Fue muy cómico!😂
Las ovejas tocaban violines en el lago.
Literally had that one yesterday! 😂🤦♂️
"I was pregnant together with my wife" - another actual sentence. I already reported it twice.
A classic Duolingo sentence! It's a bit silly, but I like it still..
Pato contra tortuga
Has anyone else come across the dog which is a doctor? The sentences sometimes don't make any sense 😂
This video is one of your best! Made me laugh out loud several times and was highly entertaining. Gracias por este video!
Este Vídeo es muy manzana roja con leche.

That’s exactly why I quit duolingo 😂😂 and I’m now 68 hours in on DS thks for the new video !
Well... it worked for Lilly. ;)
Lilly come manzanas....
Gracias por hacerme reír! 😄 great video lol
This is hysterical! I love it! ❤
This is one of the best I’ve watched! So funny 😂
Looks like these are the last DS videos for Andrea! Launching out on her own!
Me ha gustado, por favor hagan más de estos.
Un muy bueno vídeo. Gracias.
😂😂😂 Wow! had a good laugh... keep it up guys
The most funny Spanish Learning video ever! 😂🤣
CALCETIN!!!!
El video no es realista. ¿Dónde están los boletos?
hahahahahahahaaaa🤣
Without Duolingo I wouldn't have a clue what was being said in some of your superbeginner videos
Also with Korean, it doesn't give you serious insights of a language. You normally don't talk about the tall girl with a red bow by the door 🤣
@@BlackHoleSpain😂😂😭

It was a real challenge 😅🤣 💜
Soy nativo de español y entendí todo
Andrea es bonita ❤
I loved this 😂❤
why do they teach everyone the names of every fruit but not how to hold a conversation?? in spanish classes it is not better
I remember in school they taught us the names of a bunch of balls used for sports. Why are you teaching me about volleyballs and beach balls? I don’t know how to order food!

Only thing I’ve learned on Duolingo is “soy Americana” over and over again
I was told by a Spanish speaking friend pretty quickly to never say that lol. Soy estadounidense.
