How To Build Sentences In Spanish (Episode 1) - Learn Spanish With Paul

A simple "building block" system I use to teach students how to construct their own complete sentences in Spanish.

Hi everyone, Paul here :)

All too often I see students who know a lot of words in Spanish but still struggle to form coherent sentences in the language.

So, with that in mind, I've decided to show you a simple building block system you can start using right away to construct your own phrases in Spanish with confidence.

If this series proves popular, I'll continue it with more episodes. Let's see how you go!

I have learned more in 25 minutes than I've learned all year. Well done sir.

If anyone is on the fence about buying the paid lessons, do it! And here's why:
I am a SpanishwithPaul youtubevideo watcher for almost a year and am now a paid member.

1. Don't worry, what he is teaching works in Spain too. (I live in Barcelona, Spain).

2. His program is laid out beautifully and skillfully where each lesson builds onto the next.

3. The categories are broken down into bite size lessons so you can stop when you need and pick back up easily.

4. After a lesson: there are lots of examples helping cement the topic.

5. If you watch his free weekly lessons and don't know if you will get anything from his paid membership - yes you will. His free lessons only touch the surface of what this program has. I am kicking myself "Why didn't I start sooner?!'

My Spanish has grown more with his lessons than it ever did living right here in Spain.
Thank you Paul!

I have tried several Spanish courses in the past 5 years. You name it, Berlitz, Pimsleur and so on and so forth but they all got me nowhere as near the level that I’ve gotten with Paul. His slow step by step approach with little reminders of words used in past lessons contributes to almost 100% retention. Conversation is supposed to be practical and a means to communicate ideas used in everyday life. Paul’s method is simply the best and that’s just the youtube freebies. As soon as I finish everything in YouTube, I will enroll in his paid course.I am eager to find out just how good he says it is. Paul es un maestro magnifico.

I am an ESL teacher and I have been learning Spanish. The material you have prepared is absolutely amazing. It's pretty helpful for starters.

[CodeDropAccount]

Paul. Thank you. Your simple approach is exactly what is needed in order to learn a new language. I have found these videos to be very beneficial and much better than the large bloated systems advertised at a much higher cost. I just wanted to say thank you.

This video is more helpful than any other channels I watched. It’s a good technique to building sentences

[legaleagle]

This method actually does work very well for learning how to form complex sentences. I used a similar method when learning how to form complex sentences in Greek, only I used what was called "backward buildup" -- that is, I started learning the sentence at the end and worked my way back to the beginning of the sentence. My understanding is that learning the sentence that way was the best way to learn correct intonation patterns in speaking.

Lessons with Paul are clear and easy to follow. I am a great fan of his courses.

[Learay]

I have been learning with you for years off and on. Reallt want to take it seriously this time, but always come back to you!!! Amazing videos and techniques, super clear and easy, Thank you paul the best channel ever!!

[SunnyDaysRFun]

I like the way he put the sentences again in the end. Nice.

[paul-akers]

Thank you you are hands down the best and most effective Spanish teacher

[trudiweisman]

You are absolutely right about building sentences. Block by block. Not trying to say all at one time. ( sometimes I try to memorize complete sentences, which is wrong. I understand it now . It finally clicked when listened few times. Thank you for your time.

[cemalcagrier]

First of all, I just want to say unlimited thanks to Paul that i have been learning Spanish from his YouTube channel.God bless u Paul.

[elsevos]

as a Dutchy this does improve my english and my spanisch is getting better every day Thanks Paul!

[jannlawrencealparaque]

I have never took my Spanish that serious but I sometimes have a good flow of reading Español, because I'm Filipino (my mother tongue is Hiligaynon) lots of words are more related to Spanish for example the word earlier in Hiligaynon is "mas temprano" as I see these resemblances between the two different language I can say that the colonization of Spaniards really had an influence and an impact in the language and culture en la Filipinas.

[Hjino]

this is the best thing i've seen!! It's so good because i can try the sentence myself, and then learn what and where i'm doing wrong, so i can correct it! I also learn new words!! PLEASE make many more of these "how to build sentences" episodes!! i'm subscribing solely for this!! I haven't seen other contents from you yet, but if it's just as good and, then you have my gratitude and my respect! This is without a doubt GOLD!!!

[rmopcsz]

If you are wanting to learning Spanish I totally advise you to learn it with Paul in a matter of a week I am already able to involve Spanish words in my everyday sentences I am quite quickly picking up the language and everyday I am learning more and more!!
