    I grew up in a Spanish speaking house. My Mother and Father both spoke Spanish to each other but did not speak too much Spanish to us. They did not want us to have a hard time in school. I absorbed as much as I could but I am not fluent by any means, I took 2 years of Spanish in high school and 2 years in college. I think you are a great teacher and shouldn't stop. My parents grew up in New Mexico so the Spanish is a different accent and slower than in Mexico and Spain. Your accent and speed is perfect for learning is easy to understand and it is obvious by the other comments that it works. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

      In English, to fall for someone is to be in love.
      Por ejemplo: She is falling for him.

    This is my second time watching this. I hope you decide to continue this series. You make the best videos and are a grand teacher. I sometimes stop a video and continue it later, just because a video isn’t watched all the way through at once doesn’t mean it isn’t liked or finished. Someday I’ll speak Spanish fluently, thank you for your lessons.

    I come from a Puerto Rican family and a Italian family and never got to learn Spanish since my parents divorced in childhood. I have always been embarrassed when people told me I wasn’t a real Latina ( even though I was raised around alot of PR culture) if I didn’t know the language , but learning bit by bit has been helping me feel like I can claim my culture. The fact that you made this for native English speakers just hits different, thank you again!

    Ok…. So i never comment but i want do an amaze shout out to Qroo Paul…. I’m going to El Salvador in four months and just moved to west (gulf) Florida and figured i should learn some Spanish…. At 50+ i was already prepared it would be difícil! I’d been using an app (rhymes with suo-ringo) which is helpful in some ways but doesn’t explain the WHY words/phrases are structured the way they are…. WHOA! I love listening to Paul… not only helps answer the questions almost before we need the answer but his voice and calm demeanor is likely the most enjoyable and helpful videos on Spanish for adult learning I’ve come across…. Thank you Qroo Paul!

    These lessons are very worth while I get really tied up when there are complex sentences with multiple direct indirect & reflexive pronouns
    I know the rules generally but have trouble with the order and correct translation
    Please keep up the lessons I use them along with other TH-cam channels & Duolingo to practice Spanish I can gene understanding written sentences but understanding native spoken Spanish and composing sentences are a challenge The Spanish sentence structure is difficult sometimes. Need a series on special phrases “En cuento de, hay que”, and different uses of quedar, tener, llevar, etc

    The grammatical pattern approach has been extraordinarily helpful to me. I am finally beginning to see the patterns. Also looking at the word by word translation was something I tried for 40 years to do to help learn patterns, but was always told by teachers DO NOT DO THAT. I am delighted to see you do that and it also helps me. I was confused for years but finally I think I get it because you pointed out subject, indirect object, and redundancies. . Thanks.

    I've been watching the QRoo Paul videos for a while now and have always found them entertaining and informative. I recently decided to start from scratch and I'm using the cero to
    conversation course. I'm so glad that I chose this route and this course. I've been hovering around intermediate level, without much progress so this course is perfect for me. I know enough Spanish be able to interchange my European Spanish when needed. I would recommend this course to anyone at any point in their learning journey. I've picked up on some nuances that I didn't notice before. Thanks Paul

      @QrooSpanish  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In Latin America, usted is going to be what you use most of the time. As your Spanish improves, you should move to that because you won't qualify for the "newbie pass" anymore. When starting the language, the tú form is just so much easier to use. It gets students communicating faster and that keeps them engaged and committed to learning more.

    Thanks for this series Paul. I found it a while back when I started my Spanish journey in April, but was disappointed to see that it wasn't being continued. Upon return, I've now learned that you are continuing it which is great. I've been searching for a step-by-step but have not found what I was looking for in other TH-cam series'. I particularly like the sentence structure translation practice that you include with each video. Re-watching the video makes the practice easier and I'm learning faster. I have a pretty good vocabulary via SRS, but struggled with sentence structure.
    Did you ever use a online teacher (i.e. italki) or mostly the Mexican population you were serving? Your teaching personality is encouraging and challenging without letting lessons get overwhelming.
    I'm looking forward to lesson 8 and beyond.

    Learning Spanish for decades now (in different places in Spain and Cuba) and nobody ever told me the difference between gustar (like like) and caer bien (like) 😝 that’s really mean - always thinking it would be the other way round more like the English expression “I’m falling for her/him” 🙄

    Los gatos no les gusta el agua
    Cats don't like water.
    This is a sentence from the children's show Perro y Gato. This is a children's cartoon on HBO in demand. When I first started learning Spanish I watched this series over and over.
    When I first saw this sentence in Spanish it struck me as really strange that you needed seven words to say a four word English sentence cats don't like water.
    Again, Paul great video, but I would suggest that these videos are more self contained than you night imagen.
    People who get sent to this episode by an algorithm might have seen other videos, not from your channel. So telling people they won't understand this lesson unless we have seen the previous lessons might put some people off. OK to mention that there was a previous lesson that talked about "duele", but I honestly think people can learn to use gustar and encantar with out already knowing "duele".
    It's great that you start your lesson with a review of the last lesson and how duele works.
    I think that it is extremely cool that you start your discussion of this structure with "duele". This makes your approach totally unique. I think this might come from your background in law enforcement and saying where does it hurt was something that came up early on in your language learning.
    For me the most interesting part of this lesson was learning how to use "caer". This idom is weird for me so the practice was great.
    I am making a list of Qroo Paul vocabulary words. A lot of words in your more recent lessons are already on .my other vocabulary lists but many of them are not.
    importar
    politicas
    interesar
    and resultados
    we're not on any list. What is cool about these words is that they are all cognates and easy to remember.
    Keep up the great work. Nice to see you back in action with this great series. I gave it a like and have already watched it a couple of times.

      @@QrooSpanish Thanks for the Grammer tip Paul. This inspired me to go back and watch my old HBO kids favorite show Perro y Gato again. I copied down the exact dialog.
      First the dog jumps in the water and splashes the cat. Then the cat says in "cats don't like water".
      The dog answered " por quy no te gusta el agua".
      I noticed it sounded like they were using the pronoun "nos" instead of "les" but it sounded like the cat said:
      "A los gatos no nos gusta el agua"
      Then later says what sounded like:
      "Nos gatos no nos gusta el agua"
      We cats don't like water (is this grammatically correct)
      At last the dog asks:
      "Por que a los gatos no nos gusta el agua"
      I kind of looked this up then wrote it down and typed it up for my own benefit but hope that some of my fellow students might also benefit.
      Thanks for all your help Paul

I've been seeing parecer, molestar, importar & caer bien being used and didn't put it together that it was the same construction as gustar, I just was confused about the pronoun & the a. Now I think I will recognize the pattern!!! Thank you so much! BTW, is there a name for that construction?

Thinking of it as "to" will make the more complex constructions using LE clearer down the line. There is a method to my madness...lol

  • @rsmrymcgwn

    Would you use llevarse bien/mal in similar context as caer bien/mal. As I understand llevarse refers to getting along with someone but that seems to mean to like someone. I get along with my neighbor which may imply I like her or does it. Hmm is there a subtle difference? Caer bien is what I'd call a reverse structure me cae bien (I like him) but llevarse not so, Tom se lleva bien con Mary (Tom gets along well with Mary) Have I got it right and is it used in Mexico?

    • @QrooSpanish
      @QrooSpanish  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is reasonable to infer that people who get along well together like each other. l asked my wife what she thought -- she is from Colombia -- and she said that you can get along with people you don't like. I suppose she has a point. And yes, we use llevarse bien/mal in Mexico. Juan se lleva bien con sus colegas.

      You use the personal A when the person is the object of the sentence, not the subject. These are unusual constructions for English-speakers because the person liked is actually the subject of the sentence, not the object.

    Absolutely fantastic videos and teaching!
    This video has me lost though!
    'A Maria la duele el ojo' I am thinking there is 'la' here for the feminine Maria.
    Next you give the example:
    'A Juan le duele la pirerna derecha'. Why here is it 'le' and not 'lo' for the masculine Juan? If 'le' here, then why not 'le' for Maria also? Why also 'el' for eye, but then 'la' for pierna? This confuses me.
    Lastly there is Juan (M) but the sentence ends with derech(a) -female. I suppose the leg is feminine here and this is something that just needs to be memorised?
    Thanks Paul!

    • @craigmoore7821
      @craigmoore7821 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The one with Maria did in fact say le. You were right that it should say le, and it did. Visual error I'm guessing. We're all human.
      For the eye and leg, you are using the el or la that matches its gender. Ojo is masculine and pierna is feminine.
      As for derecha, it depends on if it's a noun or an adjective. If you're saying "to the right" it is a noun and you will always use derecha (with an a). If it is an adjective like the right leg, it will have to match in number and gender from derecho, derecha, derechos, derechas. This is singular feminine (pierna) so you use derecha.
      I hope this helped.

    Hey Paul. I'm a bit confused on why the verb gustar is not being conjugated in the present form in your examples. How come it's not "me gusto" or "te gustas"? Is there an exception to this verb that it always stays "gusta" when using "me, te, le, nos, les?"

    • @QrooSpanish
      @QrooSpanish  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The verb is being conjugated in the present but the subject of the verb is the thing liked. In Spanish, you don't say, "I like something", you say, "Something is pleasing to me."
      ¿Te gustan las fresas? - Are strawberries pleasing to you? Strawberries is the subject so it controls the verb.
      When we talk about things we like to do, meaning verbs, it will always be gusta no matter how many verbs there are.
      me gusta esquiar y cocinar. I like to ski and cook.
      A mi abuelo le gusta esquiar y cocinar. My grandather likes to ski and cook (but literally, to my grandfather skiing and cooking are pleasing).

    I know this video is a bit older, but maybe someone can help explain this. If we say “Juan likes Maria” - “A Juan le cae bien Maria” why don’t we use the personal “a” before Maria?

    • @QrooSpanish
      @QrooSpanish  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The personal A is only used when the person is the object of the sentence, not the subject. In that sentence, Maria is actually the subject. It literally says, "Maria falls well to Juan." Juan is the object of the sentence.

      I'm stretching the vowels out because I am saying them slowly. Tey would normally be shorter and sound more like meh, teh etc. They should sound normal in the actual sample sentences.
