Opposite Spanish Verbs: 'Antonyms'

Simple Spanish lessons aimed at people who tend to learn languages better by not focusing on grammar.

Hi everyone, Paul here :)

Some people love grammar. They love the security of it when learning languages, it just works for them. It suits them to a tee.

Other people hate grammar. It does nothing but prevent them from learning. In fact, it often prevents them from even trying. It just gets in the way.

The title of this video is a good example... "verb antonyms" are just opposite meaning verbs! An example would be "to go up" versus "to go down". It's stupid simple really.

If you don't like grammar in language learning... I'm your guy :-) This weeks lesson will prove it to you.

Enjoy and see you next Monday,
Paul

Wow, a light just came on for me!!! I'm at an intermediate level of Spanish, but for some reason I have never quite grasped when to use apagar vs prender, and how to subir. They are words that for some reason just have refused to stick in my brain.
Look what I just realized!
Aprender - to learn
Prender - to turn on
Prender las luces - to turn on the lights
I teach English to Spanish-speakers (in a bilingual format) and they always get confused when I say "A light just came on!" Now I know how to clarify it for them with "a prender/aprender"! So excited about that!

Me puedes apagar la tele y bajar el volumen de la musica, por favor, porque voy a prender la radio y subir el volumen. Tambien, me puedes bajar las luces porque son demasiado brillante para mi. Gracias por la leccion, Paul!

oztra vez, necesito Esperar el proximo Lunes para el Nuevo video, gracias senior Paul, para ayudarme improving mi español,

[belakapur]

two request.
1-can you increase the number of new words. i know it will make the lesson longer
2- give a number to your lesson. it will be easy to know that you have done 11 or 12 or 13 etc
it is easy to follow and accent and speed are both right
thanks

[moujahidmohammed]

thanks a lot M;Paul
you are the best;

[stevedavies]

Hello few I clearly understand should it be el" or 'la'radio?

[billholt]

Your comments on "oscuro" vs "obscuro" are interesting - the Word Reference forums suggests both are fine and the Instituto Cervantes recommends "oscuro". From Las 500 dudas más frecuentes del español by the Instituto Cervantes:
¿Se puede decir oscuro o hay que decir obscuro? Aunque se puede escribir, y por tanto pronunciar, de ambas formas, se recomienda usar la forma simple, oscuro, tanto en la escritura como en la pronunciación.
