Hell ya man! You had one of my spanish tutors! :D One thing I've found that works when making Anki cards is you can get your tutor to record the sentence you messed up on a voice meme on whatsapp. Then you use web.whatsapp.com to dl it and drag it into a fill in the blank card and the context is there too so it's easier to remember when viewing.
@Grey Dragon spanish is a little bit hard to learn bc there's a lot of words that means diferente things in the other countries but i know you can do it!!
Your Spanish is pretty good. You don’t have that “Gringo" accent. I can see you are getting confident with it. Keep it up! Soon u would speak as a native.
@@amins4493 i’m from san diego and where i’m from really anyone who isn’t hispanic or latino they’ll call gringos, it isn’t really an insult or anything. for example, my best friend is mexican and she calls me gringa just to joke around with me since i’m white- even though i speak spanish fluently, it’s more just referring to non-hispanic americans. so yeah :)
@@muttlanguages3912 c'est un bon début de phrase, mais :'' je pense que c'est à cause de vos professseurs qui vous font ça (en retour)" est mieux. In fact, all the teachers that i had were pretty chill. It's just really cringe in the ear. It just sound like a musical piece that has a broken segment that you know by heart, you just have to correct it. there's a lot of grammar nazis in the french speaking world, no one's truly safe, even french native speaker lol
Exactly what I said to my mom I have been 'learning' Italian in school for 4 years and all I can say is buongiorno it isn't fun for me and I don't want to learn it but I have to it feels more like a chore than fun
@JeremyD I am not allowed to change and even if it was possible I would have to be able to speak French which I definitely can't I am more interested in East Asian languages such as korean Thai and Japanese however they are not available in our school only Spanish French and Italian which I find really sad but it's too late now anyway
@@justpassingby365 Lol that's my situation actually, i really like languages and i wanted to do something different, learn chinese and the problem is i live in colombia and the only thing you can learn from languages here are english in any part or in bigger cities maybe french or german there are two ways or you go for a virtual learning program or basically you learn by yourself like i am doing now
spanish people use the "EEEEEEEE" while thinkingthe next word every time, using this is not a mistake, more like a thing that makes you look more spanish
El problema es que él está usando /ɜː/ en vez de /e:/. Además, aunque usamos /e:/ para pensar, a él le entrecorta mucho la conversación. A mí no me suena natural y a veces conviene más un silencio corto.
Yeah, but it's because the Spanish J sounds more or less the same as the English H, while the English J is more like a Y (jet/jugar) and the Spanish H is silent (ahora = /aora/) unless it's after a C (cucaracha). Knowing this, a Spanish hahaha would be like a-a-a.
Hey Ikenna, a bit of an advice; The filler sound in Spanish is an "Eeehhh" instead of an "Uhhhh". I'm not sure if this is that important, but in my opinion it makes is sound more authentic
jajaja yo tambien hice eso, pense que era el unico hablante de español suscrito a este canal, fue el primer canal sobre idiomas que encontre cuando aprendi ingles
Man has a condition that leaves him crippled, and yet here he is learning spanish like a fucking chad. I wish I was bored enough in that way to keep learning Russian.
The difference between "Muy bueno", "muy bien" is that "muy bien" is refer to a way you do something. And frequently, we use "muy bueno" to describe the feeling of someting. -la comida estuvo muy buena (the food was very good) -the feeling of eat it was good -comí muy bien (I ate very good) you did it in a satisfactory way
Everybody who reads this and wants to learn a new language: you seriously can! My tips (I speak 6): - have a GOAL - stay CONSISTENT - learn what's USEFUL! You got this!😇
@Lauren Ramsbottom Sure, best think you could do is remember your why, study useful stuff that brings you close to your short term goal, study actively and passively, USE whatever you have learned and ALWAYS ALWAYS learn in context: vocab in example phrase etc:) hope it helped! and btw: my insta talks a lot about language tips, check it out:) @iamkatharinafink

I wouldn’t give Him this much credit. You can’t tell if TH-cam is real. Xiamoa is fake but most of these people are. It sucks that there aren’t any real TH-camrs.
It's so reassuring to see someone as passionate about language learning as you showing your baby steps with a new language. Makes me feel like i'm doing okay when I see you also stuttering and struggling in the start of spanish as much as I am. Much love, hope you recover well!
9:49 tu español esta muy bien, suenas fluido y logras comunicar las ideas que es lo importante de verdad me motivas a mi a aprender otros idiomas si tu puedes yo también, felicidades.
You are progressing so good, spanish is a very complicated language, and even more if you are learning it from different countries all over southamerica and from spain. Between these coountries there are many expresions only used there and could mean something complety different in spain or in any other southamerican country, so congratulations, you are doing it so well
so much respect for Ikenna actually including the times where it wasn't going so well and lacked motivation, it makes seeing these experiences so much more authentic! Thanks :)
I'm surprised by how much Spanish i knew whilst watching this! it's nice hear someone else who's learning speak at a pace you can understand - thanks for motivating me :)
Hey, brother. Me alegra mucho que hayas podido avanzar tan rápido, sé que eres políglota pero en realidad se siente muy gratificante ver a alguien no nativo aprendiendo español. Gracias por tus consejos. I'm learning English, so, here we go.
You're doing really well!! It's insane that you've learned a lot without being with full inspiration, you should keep learning Spanish! Thanks for considering my language
Hi! I am from Argentina, and here, we say "más o menos" to answer "como estas?" (How are you?) and it means that you aren't perfectly good but also you aren't in the hell, you are in the middle mood
Without realizing it, I was smiling at the end when you showed your Spanish haha PD: TU ESPAÑOL ESTA SUPER BIEN!!!!! no sé por qué estoy tan orgullosa jaja
Sii, también estuve sonriendo todo el rato al ver el esfuerzo que ponía en aprender y hablarlo bien!! Y me sentí orgullosa as well porque sí estaba progresando bastante!✨
Pau owu, creo que no entiendes Inglés. El claramente explica al inicio del vídeo que estudió Español en el High school(bachillerato), el cual dura 4 años. También ha intentado en otras ocasiones pero sin resultados favorables. Esta vez lleva 60 días y actualizo su avance.
I noticed that breaks is absolutely necessary thing while learning. I had an experience of month-break. And at the expiration of that break I had my skills on the same level.
HABLAS DEMASIADO BIEN!! i’m learning french rn for like 4 months but i’m nowhere nearly as good as you are in spanish. omg i’m so impressed at your spanish it’s really good!
Knowing someone who isn't learning the Spain dialect is such a breathe of fresh air, keep on grinding. btw when using so or sure as fillers you should try saying bueno(well) sounds more natural in most cases.
Are you sure.? I rather find it the other way round. Because most youtubers with English videos are Americans. And most Americans learn the Latin American Spanish. I also watch a couple of Korean language learners and the spanish they learn is the Latin American Spanish. The only polyglot I can think of the top of my head who's learnt the Spain accent is Luca Lampariello. And he's Italian. It's rather very difficult to find youtubers who are learning the Spain accent. Even on apps like Hellotalk where you make language friends. Which videos have you been watching? Please recommend them to me or send me the link. Lol. And I think we all know that Latin Americans have this "hatred" for the Spain accent. The Spain accent has been bashed enough 😂😂.
Kinda off the main topic, but I just wanted to say I'm super impressed by your perseverance with everything amidst your recent health struggle. My mom was diagnosed with POTS a few years ago, and it's been a difficult journey. I was so glad to see you in good spirits in this video. You are inspiring!! Oh, y tu español también es bueno :)
Even though I'm learning Japanese these Spanish videos are really motivating! I can't wait to see your next progress update (on Spanish and your health!). Thanks for all your hard work, really appreciated!
Wow! I saw your last spanish update video, and you have improved drastically! 🤯. Keep up with the good work, both in learning Spanish and in your health!
No dntendiste que estudió Español en el bachillerato( el cual dura 4 años), no más que no lo aprendió bien. Ahora se ha dado otra oportunidad de aprender. Esta vez lleva 60 días
Motivating as hell, when it comes to language learning, and very wholesome that your health is going up, 18 minutes on the bike...that’s like 3 times more than before, congrats!
Ikena hablando español es como más tierno jajaja Te sigo desde hace mucho y me inspiras. Al final las barreras nos las ponemos nosotros. Nuestra mente es nuestro mayor enemigo. Gracias por darnos esas lecciones en cada vídeo, te deseo lo mejor.
And also "qué bueno verte" with an O, like the fact of seeing you is "bueno". In spite of that you're doing pretty well, you even put "me alegro de qué" instead of "me alegro que", which is a common mistake even for native speakers :D
This Destinos was the best Spanish studying tool for me back in my school days. I watched this over 100 times seriously. Recently I made my own Spanish speaking video for the first time. Thanks
i see this video today(a month after has been updated) and i feel motivated (i'm learning english and my mother language spanish jaja), i'm excited for your new spanish progress video that should be around this days i hope you feel better soon
6:38 Native here, this kind of sentences is more common to say "El la inspira", "El la enoja/El la molesta" maybe is in her accent tho, but as a native I recommend you to say it this way
After trying to read manga in Russian, I quickly learned that doing that is really only suited to romance languages/languages similar to one’s native language
es increíble lo bien que hablas español tan solo habiéndolo trabajado por unos meses! sigue aprendiendo, porque, esto no solo lo digo porque sea mi lengua materna, pero el español es uno de los idiomas más bonitos del mundo. como dicen: “un idioma nuevo, una vida nueva”. it’s incredible how well you speak Spanish having only been studying for some months! keep learning because, i’m not saying this just because it’s my mother tongue, but Spanish is one of the most beautiful languages in the world. as it’s said: “a new language, a new life”.
Wow I really appreciate that you have been honest about your struggles and the times when you lost motivation. It happens to us all but the fact you have got back on it even when you feel shit is amazing. Thanks for sharing this, very inspiring.
It's not an easy word to say/write, but it's not too hard to understand once you get the patterns and the "feel" down. Profundo = profound or deep, profundizard = to deep or to get deep. I'm terrible at speaking Spanish, but I can usually get and understand mas o menos by guessing at patterns like these.
Yes! This method is something I discovered 8 months in which is way to long. It’s better to find the ways natives express things and build on that then learn by the book and have to reverse anything. Look at expressions with “dar”- “me da curiosidad”, “faltar”-“que le falta?”, “no puedo faltar a la reunión”, “quedar”-“cómo me queda?”, “poner”-“me pongo nerviosa”, etc...it’s endless. The way I study is almost completely changed now.
@@thenorthwillow1536 I find new phrases watching TH-cam vloggers then stick them into an app called Reverso Context that gives a bunch of examples. I play around with those and make phrases that suit my life or that I think I’d say and then I add those phrases to Anki flash cards. That’s pretty much my routine now. And following a bunch of Spanish language pages on Instagram
Learning Spanish at language school and didn't get much progress I want. I had changed my learning method recently and am very inspired by people who progress so much in a short period of time, like you! Looking forward to your Spanish learning update for some more secret sauce.
This was so motivational, as someone who also suffers from multiple chronic illnesses who also loves learning languages also, sometimes the brain fog& pain is too unreal to even focus! "Um" seems to be one of my favourite words at the best of times! I admire you so,so,so much!Thanks so much for sharing your language learning journey,you do not know how encouraging and important this is. Stay Awesome💕🥄
It's been some 10 months that I've started watching your videos. I can't believe I can speak a foreign language and digging my way through another one thanks to you. Even though you're in a tough situation, you still don't give up!! I admire you even more now that before. I hope you will allow me for you to be my role model, haha. The obstacle is the way and you live it tous les journs, man. I wish you all the best
I’m actually impressed with not only you but with myself. I’ve been studying Spanish for 4 years and suck at it, but I understood everything you said at the end!!!
@@shantiohm5847 He wrote a book called Fluency Made Easy, it tells you how he learns languages (the apps he uses, etc) and it's a huge motivation to learn languages.
@@mj85432 No, it's in Spanish... but the original is in Catalan. It's dubbed to Spanish, so the mouths and the sounds don't fit exactly. It's kind of weird for me (like my personal uncanny valley), so I watched it in Catalan although I can't speak a word of it.
@@LeonBlackbird I know, I'm from Barcelona lol, I watched it when it was on tv (it's not a Netflix original) and I know it's dubbed to Spanish verry poorly, the translations are wrong and half of the jokes don't match. I only said that you can't say it's an "spanish netflix show" because: 1. Is not in Spanish (originally) 2. It's not from Netflix, it's just in Netflix.
you're doing very well man keep it up! just don't get discouraged. even as a native speaker I still get tripped up by certain things mainly accents and slang their will always be room for improvement and that keeps the learning fun and interesting
Man, you have made a lot of progress in here!!!! I’m a Spanish native and I've been learning English. I understood everything in this video. You inspired me. Also, I recently decided to learn Portuguese but the main key is inspiration. Thanks a lot!
I’m so glad I came across your video. I’ve been learning Spanish with Babbel for approximately two months and I know I’m learning well. However, I couldn’t figure out how to get from mentally ingesting Spanish to extracting it in thought and speech during conversation (without clamming up). So I tried Language Transfer (the first 10 lessons in one sitting) and shocked myself at how much I was able to fluidly think in Spanish through the tutor’s format. You just got a subscriber. I’m eagerly watching for your next update 💜💚🖤
Watching this video as a Spanish tutor made me so happy and proud of you as if you were my student hahaha. Enhorabuena por tus progresos en español y en tu salud!

Felicidades Ikenna!! Eres super inteligente e increíble...continua aprendiendo así por un mes más y vas a hablar mejor que yo! Cuídate 😊
so much respect for Ikenna actually including the times where it wasn't going so well and lacked motivation, it makes seeing these experiences so much more authentic! Thanks :)
Guys Cesar at 2:12 is an amazing teacher! He’s helped me learned Spanish a lot! Lmfao that’s my teacher. My spanish is improving fast.
Hello there, I have to say that I have used him as well and he is indeed very good haha
Me alegro
My name is cesar and i can say the cesar do everything better :v
What website is it called
@@yourone906 Italki, its an app
I'm surprised by how much Spanish i knew whilst watching this! it's nice hear someone else who's learning speak at a pace you can understand - thanks for motivating me :)
Hey, brother. Me alegra mucho que hayas podido avanzar tan rápido, sé que eres políglota pero en realidad se siente muy gratificante ver a alguien no nativo aprendiendo español. Gracias por tus consejos. I'm learning English, so, here we go.
Que ilusión que veas mis vídeos! I've been following your language journey for a while too :)
Haha I love your videos! Glad you’ve been following the journey :)
I'm learning English y veo sus canales, beyond words es de mi canales favoritos y fue una sorpresa verla en este video, saludos a ambos!
Tbh man the Spanish part of this video was so cool. But to see that his health is starting to get better was the best part.
You're doing really well!! It's insane that you've learned a lot without being with full inspiration, you should keep learning Spanish! Thanks for considering my language
Hi! I am from Argentina, and here, we say "más o menos" to answer "como estas?" (How are you?) and it means that you aren't perfectly good but also you aren't in the hell, you are in the middle mood
“Arent in hell” jajajja
In the hell suena como esa gente que dice "go to the shit" jJSJDJ
Sometimes that's how I answer my Cuban grandmother lol
in enlgish when describing the "middle mood" we say we are alright , or we are fine.
@@Otra_Chica_de_Internet JAJAJAJJ
Without realizing it, I was smiling at the end when you showed your Spanish haha
PD: TU ESPAÑOL ESTA SUPER BIEN!!!!! no sé por qué estoy tan orgullosa jaja
!No le mientas!
@@RobertRod818 no estoy mintiendooo el español es muy difícil y habla así con solo 2 MESES
Sii, también estuve sonriendo todo el rato al ver el esfuerzo que ponía en aprender y hablarlo bien!! Y me sentí orgullosa as well porque sí estaba progresando bastante!✨
Pau owu, creo que no entiendes Inglés.
El claramente explica al inicio del vídeo que estudió Español en el High school(bachillerato), el cual dura 4 años. También ha intentado en otras ocasiones pero sin resultados favorables. Esta vez lleva 60 días y actualizo su avance.
@@RobertRod818 literal te había hecho la mensa respuesta y accidentalmente borre todo :'l
This is so motivating because i lost all my motivation for studying Spanish after 3 months of hard work😭😭 Keep going!
Eso está bien. Yo quiero aprender Inglés.
Me too I've been learning Spanish for 4 months
I recommend that you Download Language transfer and delete social media (including TH-cam) for a month and you’ll be conversational in Spanish.
Hai ...I wanna improve my English fluency will you help me please.....
I noticed that breaks is absolutely necessary thing while learning. I had an experience of month-break. And at the expiration of that break I had my skills on the same level.
HABLAS DEMASIADO BIEN!! i’m learning french rn for like 4 months but i’m nowhere nearly as good as you are in spanish. omg i’m so impressed at your spanish it’s really good!
I'm actually watching this video in Spanish class lol 😂😭
Actually I'm watching this video and my native language is spanish lol
Hola compa
Yo quiero aprender Inglés
Knowing someone who isn't learning the Spain dialect is such a breathe of fresh air, keep on grinding.
btw when using so or sure as fillers you should try saying bueno(well) sounds more natural in most cases.
Why? You got something against Spain? Jajajaja
@@Es97Coqui En absoluto, solo comentaba lo inusual que es que alguien se centre en otro dialecto
Are you sure.?
I rather find it the other way round.
Because most youtubers with English videos are Americans.
And most Americans learn the Latin American Spanish.
I also watch a couple of Korean language learners and the spanish they learn is the Latin American Spanish.
The only polyglot I can think of the top of my head who's learnt the Spain accent is Luca Lampariello. And he's Italian.
It's rather very difficult to find youtubers who are learning the Spain accent. Even on apps like Hellotalk where you make language friends.
Which videos have you been watching? Please recommend them to me or send me the link. Lol.
And I think we all know that Latin Americans have this "hatred" for the Spain accent.
The Spain accent has been bashed enough 😂😂.
Since Ik some Spanish... it just gets more satisfying seeing the improvement
Kinda off the main topic, but I just wanted to say I'm super impressed by your perseverance with everything amidst your recent health struggle. My mom was diagnosed with POTS a few years ago, and it's been a difficult journey. I was so glad to see you in good spirits in this video. You are inspiring!! Oh, y tu español también es bueno :)
My mum said your spanish sounds great and works very well conversationally.
Mans was out here getting bored so he picked up one of the most disturbing mangas out there to stay motivated 🤣🙏🏻
Even though I'm learning Japanese these Spanish videos are really motivating! I can't wait to see your next progress update (on Spanish and your health!). Thanks for all your hard work, really appreciated!
Wow! I saw your last spanish update video, and you have improved drastically! 🤯. Keep up with the good work, both in learning Spanish and in your health!
Para solo llevar 60 dias vas bastante bien amigo!
No dntendiste que estudió Español en el bachillerato( el cual dura 4 años), no más que no lo aprendió bien. Ahora se ha dado otra oportunidad de aprender. Esta vez lleva 60 días
Sí, no es la primera vez que lo intenta. Ya ha tenido experiencia con el español
Motivating as hell, when it comes to language learning, and very wholesome that your health is going up, 18 minutes on the bike...that’s like 3 times more than before, congrats!
hey dude i'm from Spain, just want to say that your videos are amazing!!!
un abrazo!
Ikena hablando español es como más tierno jajaja
Te sigo desde hace mucho y me inspiras. Al final las barreras nos las ponemos nosotros. Nuestra mente es nuestro mayor enemigo.
Gracias por darnos esas lecciones en cada vídeo, te deseo lo mejor.
Oye amigo, ¡qué buena verte! Me alegro de que estás bien y yo te espero seguir aprendiendo español🇪🇸
Be careful, "te espero" means "I wait for you". If you wanna say "I hope" is "espero" without the "te" :)
And also "qué bueno verte" with an O, like the fact of seeing you is "bueno".
In spite of that you're doing pretty well, you even put "me alegro de qué" instead of "me alegro que", which is a common mistake even for native speakers :D
Hola 🇨🇷 !,vas muy bien con el Español, espero que logres tu meta, ánimo que si se puede !!!
Instead of saying "ahh" or "umm" say "esteee" hehe it's the expression in Spanish when you're trying to figure out what to say.
This Destinos was the best Spanish studying tool for me back in my school days. I watched this over 100 times seriously. Recently I made my own Spanish speaking video for the first time. Thanks
Keep up the good work man, I'm sure that you will become very fluent in Spanish in no time! 👍
Thanks man!
He already is fluent. 🙄
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UP 😌✨
Vas de lo más bien, hombre. En bien poco tiempo también. Realmente tienes una habilidad bien impresionante para aprender nuevos idiomas.
i see this video today(a month after has been updated) and i feel motivated (i'm learning english and my mother language spanish jaja), i'm excited for your new spanish progress video that should be around this days
i hope you feel better soon
I'm curious to know if you'll eventually learn all of the romance languages, that should be an unlockable achievement.
¡Bien hecho Ikenna! Hablamos hace 2 meses y aprendes rápido
¿Has hablado con él?
@@eliandiaz7094 si
Bien hecho.
your accent is almost perfect i love it, i´m mexican so i can say your accent is very good and you´ve also learned a lot. Congratulations¡¡¡
6:38 Native here, this kind of sentences is more common to say "El la inspira", "El la enoja/El la molesta" maybe is in her accent tho, but as a native I recommend you to say it this way
After trying to read manga in Russian, I quickly learned that doing that is really only suited to romance languages/languages similar to one’s native language
Unlike Japanese, it'd still be easy to type into Google translate
Estoy muy contenta con tu progreso. Me pone muy feliz ver qué tienes interés en aprender español. Saludos desde 🇨🇺. Berserk es mi manga favorito 👍
es increíble lo bien que hablas español tan solo habiéndolo trabajado por unos meses! sigue aprendiendo, porque, esto no solo lo digo porque sea mi lengua materna, pero el español es uno de los idiomas más bonitos del mundo. como dicen: “un idioma nuevo, una vida nueva”.
it’s incredible how well you speak Spanish having only been studying for some months! keep learning because, i’m not saying this just because it’s my mother tongue, but Spanish is one of the most beautiful languages in the world. as it’s said: “a new language, a new life”.
Wow I really appreciate that you have been honest about your struggles and the times when you lost motivation. It happens to us all but the fact you have got back on it even when you feel shit is amazing. Thanks for sharing this, very inspiring.
She said “profundizar” (to delve into/погружаться), that’s not a simple word.
It's not an easy word to say/write, but it's not too hard to understand once you get the patterns and the "feel" down. Profundo = profound or deep, profundizard = to deep or to get deep.
I'm terrible at speaking Spanish, but I can usually get and understand mas o menos by guessing at patterns like these.
@@richardandrus2194 Creo que está correcta tu explicación, se entiende lo que tratas de explicar
@@richardandrus2194 Tranquilo, se entiende perfecto c:
Yes! This method is something I discovered 8 months in which is way to long. It’s better to find the ways natives express things and build on that then learn by the book and have to reverse anything. Look at expressions with “dar”- “me da curiosidad”, “faltar”-“que le falta?”, “no puedo faltar a la reunión”, “quedar”-“cómo me queda?”, “poner”-“me pongo nerviosa”, etc...it’s endless. The way I study is almost completely changed now.
Do you have any other tips on learning a language?
@@thenorthwillow1536 I find new phrases watching TH-cam vloggers then stick them into an app called Reverso Context that gives a bunch of examples. I play around with those and make phrases that suit my life or that I think I’d say and then I add those phrases to Anki flash cards. That’s pretty much my routine now. And following a bunch of Spanish language pages on Instagram
@@TheChicagoRose Okay. Thank you!
Man you are so good in just two month. I really hope to see you talking spanish in VR :D.
Learning Spanish at language school and didn't get much progress I want. I had changed my learning method recently and am very inspired by people who progress so much in a short period of time, like you! Looking forward to your Spanish learning update for some more secret sauce.
Bruh I was just about to check up on this channel and then notification go like.
*allow me to introduce myself*
Aye Been waiting for this video!!
This was so motivational, as someone who also suffers from multiple chronic illnesses who also loves learning languages also, sometimes the brain fog& pain is too unreal to even focus! "Um" seems to be one of my favourite words at the best of times! I admire you so,so,so much!Thanks so much for sharing your language learning journey,you do not know how encouraging and important this is. Stay Awesome💕🥄
Just as I am feeling so unmotivated then this video came right in time.
I feel so inspired, thank you man!
now i'm feeling lucky for being able to speak spanish cause is so tough sometimes
Same, siento que a veces no aprecio que hablo uno de los idiomas más difíciles del mundo. Lol
@@user-ye8en3uy8p Stop spouting nonsense.
@@oznerolnavi3772 Who talked to you?
@Khalse Fan Nope, I said "uno de los más difíciles del mundo"
which means, "one of the most difficult in the world"
Spanish it's obviously very far to be the most difficult language out there.
You know, Asian languages exist jajajja
2:01 is just me trying to talk to my grandparents
Me just trying to speak to my family in general
It's been some 10 months that I've started watching your videos. I can't believe I can speak a foreign language and digging my way through another one thanks to you. Even though you're in a tough situation, you still don't give up!! I admire you even more now that before. I hope you will allow me for you to be my role model, haha. The obstacle is the way and you live it tous les journs, man. I wish you all the best
I’m actually impressed with not only you but with myself. I’ve been studying Spanish for 4 years and suck at it, but I understood everything you said at the end!!!
Heyyy can't wait to watch this video and see your progress! Your book is really helping me with my Japanese, so thank you!
What book?
@@shantiohm5847 He wrote a book called Fluency Made Easy, it tells you how he learns languages (the apps he uses, etc) and it's a huge motivation to learn languages.
you should totally watch “Merlí”! It’s a great spanish netflix show, im sure you’ll get motivated to learn
It's a great Spanish show... but it's better to watch it in Catalan, because it was the original language and then the Spanish was dubbed.
it's in catalan, not spanish 😅 like, is FROM spain but it's not in the spanish lenguage.
@@mj85432 No, it's in Spanish... but the original is in Catalan. It's dubbed to Spanish, so the mouths and the sounds don't fit exactly. It's kind of weird for me (like my personal uncanny valley), so I watched it in Catalan although I can't speak a word of it.
@@LeonBlackbird I know, I'm from Barcelona lol, I watched it when it was on tv (it's not a Netflix original) and I know it's dubbed to Spanish verry poorly, the translations are wrong and half of the jokes don't match. I only said that you can't say it's an "spanish netflix show" because:
1. Is not in Spanish (originally)
2. It's not from Netflix, it's just in Netflix.
so happy that your spanish and your health is getting better!! and i'm really looking forward to the app!
you're doing very well man keep it up! just don't get discouraged. even as a native speaker I still get tripped up by certain things mainly accents and slang their will always be room for improvement and that keeps the learning fun and interesting
Happy birthday to Brenda.
Ur first congrats
Me sorprendí cuando dijiste "pero": el sonido de esa "r" 👀
Diablos man felicitaciones, buena pronunciación, perfecta diria yo de esa palabra.
Me alegra que llegaras tan lejos, sigue dándole y mejórate. I'm glad you got this far, keep working mate and get better.
I’m brazilian and now i’m starting to improve my spanish and i found your channel and this makes me feel happy haha i’m in this process with you
I enjoy Castillian,Caribbean and Canarian Spanish accents the most.
Desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 un abrazo 😉 nuestros acentos son lo’ más cariñosos
@@Es97Coqui de velda papi
Spanish language is so beautiful, I watch spanish movies and series with subtitles bc I love to hear the original 😄
Que bueno saber que estás mejor ikenna y también que bueno saber que sigues practicando! Que tengas muchos éxitos!
Man, you have made a lot of progress in here!!!! I’m a Spanish native and I've been learning English. I understood everything in this video. You inspired me. Also, I recently decided to learn Portuguese but the main key is inspiration. Thanks a lot!
¡Esto es un progreso impresionante, Ikenna! Dale para adelante. Un abrazo desde Argentina
Tu pronunciación esta muy bien, casi ni se nota el acento 😎. Soy hablante nativo y estoy aprendiendo inglés, eres un ejemplo para seguir estudiando 👍
I’m so glad I came across your video. I’ve been learning Spanish with Babbel for approximately two months and I know I’m learning well. However, I couldn’t figure out how to get from mentally ingesting Spanish to extracting it in thought and speech during conversation (without clamming up). So I tried Language Transfer (the first 10 lessons in one sitting) and shocked myself at how much I was able to fluidly think in Spanish through the tutor’s format. You just got a subscriber.
I’m eagerly watching for your next update 💜💚🖤
Watching this video as a Spanish tutor made me so happy and proud of you as if you were my student hahaha. Enhorabuena por tus progresos en español y en tu salud!
