Thanks in Advance for Buying me 3 Coffees, just kidding, 1 is enough.

Yep. This is brilliant. After a year of wasting time on what I realized were garbage apps, I signed up for two classes a week and now practice everywhere I go. Gonna knock this down!

People tell me I can’t learn it too. But I want it sooo bad. I’m trying so hard.

That's so true about the preterite tense. Conjugation of radical-changing verbs in the preterite can be a real challenge, even for those who generally enjoy learning grammar. I tried to guess the conjugation of "referir" the other day (failed!) and don't even talk to me about "satisfacer" 😮

I would love to learn spanish, but I am working as programmer and with this proffesion you're constantly learning new things and that's what pushes me back a lot. I am learning while working and I have to learn after work which is really frustrating. And to be honest I am not that big of a nerd, so I need my time out to relax and enjoy myself!

Many good points are mentioned here! I would add the necessity of immersing yourself in the language and culture of a Spanish-speaking country by traveling. In my experience learning the subjunctive was quite a challenge!

I've done the same thing with English... not that I am fluent, but I've built my entire career in the US/UK environment as an entrepreneur, my business was always about clients from those English speaking places. Now, life has proved to be a strange and sometimes whimsicle thing, so a series of crazy events (war in my country and other things) made me move to Spain (never planned) and it seems I will have to stay here for years and possibly for the entire life. My child was born here and it seems like the fate, if this is a thing at all, is just pushing me to stay here. Not a bad thing, at all, not that I'm complaining. I kinda like learning Spanish but I do not think I have a goal of becoming really fluent. Do not have much time for it. Just having a decent B1/B2 level would be more than enough. To live, feel comfortable, and possibly do some business here. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for the videos, really refreshing kind of content. Very different from traditional learning videos. This playfullness is what energizes me to actually learn a bit more of Spanish. Every time I have zero desire to do my daily 15-20 min Spanish stuff, I watch one of your videos and kinda get motivated and eventually do stuff that I need to be done.

Love your preterite comment, which can be extended to Spanish verbs generally.
It cracks me up how people always think Spanish is one of the easiest languages, based mostly on how Spanish 101 is sorta easy because of its phonetic spelling and more straightforward vowel system.
I learned French first and Spanish verbs are way more complex and brutal - and more important to get right because of the lack of separate pronoun. (Don’t even get me started on subjunctive - used more often in Spanish and harder to conjugate.)
I’m sure Mandarin, considered one of the hardest languages, has its unique challenges with tonality and such. But can you imagine: they have NO verb tenses/conjugations! ...Anyway, yes, motivation is key!

I don’t know if I’ve told you much of my Spanish journey so forgive me if U repeat myself. To begin when I was a young child the next door neighbors were a Mexican family and when u heard them speaking Spanish I was fascinated and wanted to know what they were saying. The kids spoke both Spanish and English and I thought that if they could do that ten there should be no reason why I could not do the same but I didn’t learn anything from them. Their oldest sister was an adult at that time and she did teach me a couple of sentences. I had to wait until the ninth grade before I could actually begin my study. At that time they only offered two years of Spanish in high school. I lived it. That first year I was shocked to recurve the Spanish award. Before that assembly I didn’t even know that awards were given for anything. That was a great encouragement and motivation for me but I found out that I could not win that award again the next year so that discouraged me somewhat and so I didn’t do quite so well the next year. After high school I joined the AirForce and after discharge from I enrolled in junior college where I I majored in Spanish and l also began studying French. When I was in high school I was so excited about Spanish that I wanted to become a Spanish teacher so I went talked to the guidance counselor and he told me that I could not teach in high school or any of the lower grades because he said that I had the wrong type of personality and would not be able to handle discipline problems. He suggested that I should aim for the college level. One day during a break between classes a group of students were sitting around in a break room talking about what our plans were for the future. When I said that I wanted to teach Spanish a girl at the other end of the table looked very sternly at me and almost yelled at me, “YOU’LL never teach!!!” What did she know that I didn’t? Anyway she was absolutely correct. But t I went in to university after that still majoring in Spanish. Years later when personal computers became available I found tremendous resources on internet and have continued on my own since then. In the year I between I was a subscriber to the Spanish edition of Américas magazine until they ceased publication. I used to read that magazine aloud. I still read aloud in Spanish. I have had very little experience actually speaking with people. About 5 years ago I married a Dominican woman so I thought great now we can speak Spanish at home. But no. That was not to be. She prefers to speak English and we only lived together less than a year.

It's love of the language and culture(s).

Hi, my English is not good enough yet to get it. What is 'predirict'? I turned on subs, but it says 'predate', which seems also illogical.

[louisagenrich]

Hi. When you say this is a learn to speak “Spanish” subscription, is it LA Spanish or EU Spanish 🇪🇸. I’ve been told to be careful as there are some differences. I don’t want to get to Spain and be saying the wrong thing. I’ve also been told it probably won’t matter that much 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’m actually moving to Spain and would like to be able to “get by” initially and learn more as I immerse myself with the locals.

I speak 3 languages fluently but I still watch these videos because thai is so hard for me 😅 but I will be there so soon it's no point.

[KeremKrm-pu]

What is the thing that fluent speakers do in a nutshell?

[kingly]

if you don't already KNOW you'll become fluent at some point... you won't
