This is the best way to learn Spanish. I appreciate and look forward to more of your videos. Thank you Edit: why does it change to a la to al? Is it because some are feminine (la) and (al) is masculine? I just need to clarify for myself .
Thank you so much, @Donna-vh5ym! I’m thrilled to hear that you find my videos helpful for learning Spanish. Your support means a lot to me, and I can’t wait to share more content with you. ¡Gracias! 😊 To clarify your question: yes, you’re absolutely right! 'A la' is used before feminine nouns, like a la playa (to the beach). For masculine nouns, the rule is slightly different. When 'a' (to) is followed by 'el' (the), they combine to form 'al.' For example, instead of saying a el parque (to the park), Spanish speakers simplify it to al parque. This contraction happens purely to make speech smoother and is a standard rule in Spanish. So, you’ll say al doctor (to the doctor) but a la escuela (to the school). This contraction only happens with 'a' and 'el,' not with other combinations like 'a la' or 'de el.' Keep asking great questions-understanding these small details is key to mastering Spanish! 👍
Exactly! Thank you for highlighting this important grammar rule. Combining 'a' with 'el' to form 'al' is such a key concept in Spanish. Your input adds great value-thanks for sharing! 🌟👍
This is the best!! The only channel that 1. Lets you practice specific patterns repeatedly. 2. The pauses between English and Spanish are long enough to actually say it myself first. Thank you!!

a + el (masculine) = al (Vamos al doctor). a + la (feminine) = a la (Vamos a la playa)
