Loved the story behind Ojalá ! Gracias. I was fortunate to see La Alhambra, in Granada a few years ago!

"Que tengas un día mejor mañana." I like that one!

Senor Jordan, I sincerely want to thank you for all of your HARD work. It takes well thought out lesson plans to impart knowledge to others. My motivation to pursue Spanish has been rekindled because of your instructional methods. I'm a BIG KID at heart and REALLY ENJOY when Lucas is with you. He is hilarious! Can you please do more videos with Lucas? Muchas gracias por su trabajo duro!

[liamkinnaird]

I just now realized after watching dozens of your videos that you are not the same person as "That Spanish Dude". I'm completely flabbergasted.

[pushp]

Great this really helped me! Thanks Senor Jordan!

[rushabhshah]

Can you make a video for giving advice? Your videos are so helpful and awesome!

[FionaStefanie]

Your videos are literally saving my life and my spanish grade xD

[bottleofwater]

I’m a native speaker and I wasn’t sure if “que” was needed, thank you so much!

[urib]

It was very helpful. More videos with tons of subjunctive examples

[lorileopard]

Hola! Do you have a separate video like this on your S for SPECULATION?

[jenaakhwani]

I'm arab and I am learning Spanish because I want to be a spanish teacher and I knew when I learned Ojala it was like Insha'allah but you pronounced it wrong in arabic hahaha the A's in this word sound like the spanish A in insha'allah and it is like Insha' allah but it goes all together really fast haha so it sounds like Ojala a lot! and I kinda figured it came from the arabs because it sounded the same (;
