This is pure class.. the skill to teach something so difficult for English natives (that I have found difficult too) so easily underlines your great ability to teach. Thanks Paul

[korradog]

Qroo Paul is the best Spanish teacher I've ever come across!

[katanaki]

I’m letting my Duolingo expire now that I’ve joined the QRoo Spanish crew for his excellent explanations! @17:10 I finally get the complexities of olvidarse!

[DouglasStamp]

Paul, you are an excellent teacher. My frustration with Spanish lessons has been too many people passing themselves off as teachers because they speak Spanish but don't have a good grasp of Spanish grammar. You are not among that group. Always enjoy your videos.

Se me olvidó is My husband's favorite thing to say

Cowabunga! I am a lifetime member of the QRoo Spanish Crew and I was just about to post a request on that forum for precisely this information. I was taught this some years ago but I NEVER understood it. Thanks to learning the pattern, I finally have a handle on the construction. Thanks Paul!!!

[kbris]

This video answers most of my questions about this difficult concept. The pattern is very helpful if I can only remember to use a singular or plural required conjugation . Wonderful lesson Paul. Gracias.

Please keep teaching Spanish this way
With different examples we can learn faster
THANK You very much 👍👍

[buddyru]

So pumped when you corrected the translation of "wake up"... I was like, but wait, isn't it despertar? Thank you for the awesome info! You're helping so many people learn this language without so much frustration.

[Donna-vhym]

My goodness, you're a great teacher ❤
Edit: I came back to say...you're actually the best teacher .

[Mexitplans]

The thing that I love most about your videos is your ability to make the complex SIMPLE. There is so much to like about this video.

[raymondmansfield]

I have been studying Spanish for years and never really became fluent, I think these classes will finally put me there. I think Qroo Paul being a native English speaker really helps.

[kristinmontiel]

I'm so happy you clarified on that one example because I used despertarse and was bummed I made a mistake

[christaylor]

I don't have time for this right now but I'm glad to know it's here. I understand the extra 'le' but it still messes with me. I was actually going to search the internet for this explanation but my regular maestro hooked us up!

[KellyODo]

This is great! Super helpful. These types of sentences always stop my conversation flow so it’s helpful to think about the pattern.

[pickedupapencil]

I have been studying this exact topic for the last few weeks. Very auspicious timing.

[ivanivke]

Despertarse/Levantarse - I thought I made a mistake and I am like, “Ivan, when are you going to get it right” - luckily you jumped right in to put faith back into my Spanish learning 😉

[gregoryjames]

So much good I could say about this video. You're excellent at explaining things. And to anyone reading this, take the time to pause it and work it out. Get pen and paper if you want but at least pause and work it out. If you're struggling a little he has other videos that can help make sense of this. You can do it!

[ronaldmorris]

Best video on this topic. It shows patterns of how things are said, and how they are not direct translations. No one else is showing patterns where direct translations fail. Thank you! Suggestion: Leave off the longer phrases as they can get in the way of learning the objective of your lesson.
