About 1/4 of my Spanish confusion involves the question “Where did that ‘se’ come from?”
Thanks for clearing up one example 👍🏻👍🏻

The difference is that "Lo estoy buscando" can easily be misheard as "I'm not looking", whereas "estoy buscandolo" is crystal clear over long distances or through a crowd

How cool to have some examples... I have found that the better my Spanish gets, the more is Forgiven by the Spanish-speaking community, that being friends and family that have Spanish as a first language and in many cases it is their only language... The more I try and learn the better our friendship is!! MIL GRACIAS Paul!

It's amazing how you are able to cover this topic concisely in like 11 minutes. I've been trying to figure this out for so long. Thank you for this

[StevenMitchell-ou]

Will use the acronym RID to remember. Reflexive, Indirect, Direct pronoun order. Great lesson!

“LE turns into SE before a DOP” and “RP, IOP, DOP” should be taught exactly like that in every Spanish curriculum. Short, sweet, and to the point. Plus easy to memorize.

This topic is my wall in moving my Spanish on. So I keep replaying the various episodes and
Practice on ChatGPT.
I think I am beginning to get somewhere now, thank you!

[bikrambarua]

Thanks for the' hierarchy ' it would help immensely. Look forward to more learning aids .

I love your videos! My mother remarried before I was a year old, so despite being very Irish/white, I grew up with a Mexican dad. I wasn't interested in Spanish as a kid, but now, at 31, I'm obsessed with learning, and your videos are the best. I enjoy the short videos, perfectly packed with the right amount of info to not overload us. I also really enjoy those 20-30min videos you put out during your initial lesson series (like the gustar, encantar, caer, etc... video). They're great for long commutes! My one suggestion would be monthly listening comprehension videos, like a short or medium-length monologue/story/convo. I feel like you'd blow everyone else's way! If you're into that kind of thing! We'd love to put your lessons to the test with you🎉

Forgot to say. All these things I ALREADY know, but it is so hard to say them without having to stop and really think about them. Great lesson.

[johnspielberger]

Your lower rate of speech in this lesson helped me . Good subject matter, well done.

[davidhsherrod]

Gracias por incluir las formas "vosotros". Y por esta lección. El orden de los pronombres es muy útil.

[dianegoldfarb]

Rp, Iop, dop, que, bus, nof.... ha ha! Explained very clearly. Once you understand the 'rhythm' and order, it is easier to understand. You just have to keep practicing it and seeing it in print as well. I think also it is important to watch your videos over and over, not just one time. The most difficult part is using it in conversation...easily! Thank you Paul.

[hollywinters]

Another great video. You are a gifted teacher. I am so lucky to have come across your videos.

[rickyhansen]

I don’t know about everybody else but I need all the help I can get with rp’s, iop’s and dop ‘s. So keep them coming. Still trying Rick. Buenos Dias

[makkam]

this is the only vid on youtube explaining this and to this depth. thanks!

[Carlos-qzul]

Me alegro de haber aprendido todo esto cuando era pequeño ! 😂 Mucho ánimo, se le ve a usted una persona seria que domina el tema ! 👍🍻

[shanemillard]

The RID acronym helped me a while back. Hearing the negative always has the pronouns in front was good too. The irregularities on negative commands throws me off sometimes though.

[birgittastevenson]

Thank you so much for including the ‘os’, Paul. It saves me from having to look things up! 😁
You must have a large number of students who like me want to use their Spanish in Spain. Please keep it up! Love your videos 🤗
