I have found the content of this video along with nine others so far in the series “Spanish stories for beginners “ to be very useful for improving listening comprehension skills because of the methodology of a slow reading with the written text first and then a reading at normal speaking speed at the end interposed with a section on vocabulary. They have also helped me expand my vocabulary- especially idiomatic - and with pronunciation. Excellent content I would strongly recommend.
Thank you very much Edward! I really appreciate your feedback and your kind comment. It makes me very happy to know that you find my content very useful. That’s the main reward I get from the time I invest in making my videos. Que tengas un buen día! 😊
I recently started watching your videos. I spent 3 to 5 hours a day watching other Spanish videos, your videos are now my favorite ones to watch. Thank you so much for such well thought out and well planned lessons. I really like how you gave several examples of everything you explained. I find the examples of the 3 tenses of the verb "dar" to be very useful. I appreciate your time and effort in giving me many useful tools and tips to improve my Spanish. Muchísimas gracias!
Ohh thank you very much for taking the time to give me your feedback and leave such a nice comment. I appreciate it a lot. It makes me very happy to know that you find my videos useful. It motivates me to keep creating content! Un saludo 👋🏻 que tengas un lindo día :)
This is some of the very best Spanish instruction available ... great for improving listening skills and understanding idiomatic expressions. THANK YOU SALO !
22:57 Spanish is so fascinating, like there's a verb that means "getting up really early"?! I'm a complete beginner but I already fell in love with this language
Research show that Reading While Listening (RWL) improves fluency. You are way ahead of the game. You should create the transcripts for "Learn Spanish with Daily Life Stories" (even if for a small fee). This will allow us to highlight vocabulary that needs focus. Perhaps at some point you might even consider adding a hover feature so that we could hover and see definitions if we get stuck on a word. What if one day you could do this in the actual video? Just a thought. Thank you for being such an important part of my journey.
Hi Ronald, thank you so much for your kind comment and your suggestions. I appreciate it a lot. I’m glad you’re enjoying my content. I am indeed in the process of creating the transcript of my videos, but those from episode number 22 which are fully explained in Spanish. Once they are ready they will be available for purchase on my website :) saludos y gracias de nuevo 😊
Language exchange is a language development method based on language practice in pairs, since you speak English and I speak Spanish, could we contact each other to learn better?
It makes me very happy to know that you find good value in my videos even if you already have an advanced level of Spanish. Gracias por tu comentario y espero que sigas aprendiendo cosas nuevas con mi contenido cada semana.
Have dipped in to one or two of these videos before, and after spending a few weeks of lock down on a well known language app, I decided to come back to Use Your Spanish to broaden the language experience. Have just finished studying this video carefully and feel it will really help my learning. I love listening to both voices! Thank you 👍😊
Oh that’s very kind of you. Thanks for your kind comment. It makes me deeply happy to know that my videos are helping you improve your Spanish! Saludos 👋🏼
Ha ha well, the first part is a good exercise to improve your listening skills. Then in the second part everything is explained in English and you get to use those new words and expressions in other contexts. I hope you find it useful :)
19:28 cargar pilas. Pronounced cha dah peel las means recharge batteries for, while resting . An often used phrase for English speakers . It's good to know that spanish speakers would understand what I mean when I say Cargar pilas
200th Like and new to your channel! These videos are incredible and as someone new to the language thank you so much for the english breakdown Looks like i'll be here for a while. lol Cheers!
16:30 " castle lee zone" for the pronunciation of " que subidon" . I need to try that out with some Spanish speaking coworkers ( salvadoriian) to see if they understand me
sir.. The context you give us, those are very helpful.. But sir if u please add those context's complete meaning in English.. It will be very helpful for use to understand those aptly..
@@UseyourSpanish I mean the full story ("The weekend / EL FIN DE SEMANA" ) .. In this story you only explain some particular words in Spanish .. I don't totally understand the meaning of this story.. I want to learn the meaning of each word of a sentence.. (if it's possible to make)
Oh I understand now. The translation of the full stories will be provided in the PDFs files for each video on my website. These files are still not available and will not be free. Please come back to my website in a few weeks and you will find the links to download the files.
¡Hola! Me gusta mucho esta lección.Pero, tengo dos preguntas. ¡ Vale! En la oración " Ser médico o enferermero debe ser muy agotador.¿ Por qué no usa la palabra " agotado" en vez de "agotador"? Tambien , en la oración:" Cuando todos duermen , las calles son apacibles. ¿Por qué no usa el verbo "están" en vez de "son"? Gracias por su repuesta , por favor.
Hola Reynold, me alegra que estés disfrutando de mi contenido. Con respecto a tu primera pregunta te respondo con ejemplos; cuando dices agotado te refieres a que una persona está cansada (yo estoy agotado, tú estás agotado, you are tired, etc). En cambio cuando usas la palabra agotador te refieres a que una cosa causa cansancio (trabajar es agotador, estudiar es agotador, working is exhausting, etc). Con respecto a tu segunda pregunta, ambas formas son correctas en este contexto. Ya sé que la diferencia entre ser y estar es a veces confusa. Las calles son apacibles o las calles están apacibles significan más o menos la misma cosa en este contexto.
I enjoyed this video. In English, the expression is, "She goes to bed with THE chickens." NOT, "She goes to bed with chickens." Somehow the word "THE" changes the whole dynamic of the expression. Also, don't forget, it's "Give it a thumb's up" and not "thumb up".
!Qué raro! !Usamos el mismo modismo en griego a "acostarse con las gallinas"! Κοιμάμαι με τις κότες. (To sleep with the chickens). Same words, same meaning!
Los fines de semana no son los mismos. El sabado, voy al Mercado para comprar comidas que voy a cocinar Durante la semana El Domingo, prefiero ir à la casa de Dios para decirle gracias para su amor. Despues regreso a casa para cocinar.
If you offer Spanish lessons, why do you speak English all the time? You have to speak Spanish all the time, and we will somehow figure out whether to take your courses or not.
@@UseyourSpanish Gracias. Tus clases son geniales. Pero hablar inglés es como añadir lejía a una deliciosa paella. (y además el inglés me da dolor de cabeza).
Ha ha it’s true... I try to give some context for those people who have never watched these types of videos... I’ll try to make it shorter next time :)
