Eres con diferencia el mejor profesor de español.

Hi, Paul! Another great explanation from you. And you keep the length just right. Many thanks!

[jimmychafins]

I like the “Acabar + de” also to say you’ve just done something..acabo de llegar, acabo de comer, etc…using with the gerund is new for me and a little tricky..I always put the “de” after because that’s how I’ve always practiced it…so it kinda caught me up a little thanks for the video.

[KC-pduk]

I appreciate your approach to teaching spanish from a native english speaker's perspective. Thank you!

[chueco]

I swear these videos feel tailor made for the rut I’m in. I just found your channel a few days ago. Thanks man you’re the best.

[JoKoRn]

Great video! Can you also make one about the verb quedar? As far as I know, there are 100 ways to use that verb.

I love it when you teach something I didn’t know, and then later that same day I hear it used in conversation, instant gratification!

[DaisyMae]

I absolutely LOVE how you teach Spanish. I've learned more in just a few of your videos than in many of my classes. Gracias!!

As a french speaker I can say that there's a lots of intersections between Spanish and French grammar. But what is funny in french with en lugar de ( au lieu de = instead of or in lieu of) we also use the infinitive, but on the contrary acabar (Finir par, to end up) in French is followed by the infinitive form and not like in Spanish and English where the gerund is the rule
Professor, we are so lucky that we have you to teach us Muchas gracias

Sigo viendo tus vídeos porque siempre aprendo algo, gracias.👍Así que, acabé / terminé suscribiendo a tu canal.😀

[dwightmoss]

Love these videos! How to say things in Spanish that way we it say in English is awesome. Spanish teachers never teach this.

[dancersbythesea]

Perfect! I was just studying this today and then I saw your video. Your explanation was just what I needed! Muchas Gracias!!!!
