I have struggled to understand the ‘redundant’ Le for months. I’ve searched grammar books and all over the internet and this is by far the best explanation I have come across. Muy claro. I now understand. Gracias.

Born to be teachers - excellent class ❤❤

[melaniemonteiro]

THANK YOU!! Simplest explanation ever, to use it whenever there is an exchange. I've been asking my native-speaking friends and instructors whether there is a simple rule to follow for when to use redundant pronouns and have always been left confused by their answers. Until now! Thanks again!

Love your books. They are the best resources available for truly understanding the language. Thank you so much.

Just add to ALL the other comments I too, also searched the internet to find a straight understandable explanation and this was to be sure the best and finally my humble brain grasped it. Fantastico! I alao looked in "A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish" (chap11 in my Oxfam copy) which overcomplicates it and a cracking good verbal explanation beats the jargon used in this former book. I have subscribed to your channel and am working through 1-30 vids with the pdf bundle but I can see that I will have to delve deeper into the wizard from South Shield's lessons and his lady from Spain. Love her frankness.Just as a bit of waffle my grandmother in law on my esposa's side lived in a house near the 'Roman Ruins' and my wife had me searching up and down that area for hours looking for it. Somewhere down the road where the "sandmen" lived. They are "Peels", me wife's lot are, and possibly related to that woman cast into stone on the sea front who was a pirate's friend. Got a photo of her somewhere - from memory either Dolly or similar. They have a lot of Cutty's and Dorothy's in the family.

[jimmychafins]

Best explication of this anywhere! Thanks

[robertogarcia-cwgo]

For me, this is the best explanation I've heard.

[leenobody]

Never hurts to re watch these lessons .Thanks so much guys . 😀 oh, by the way folks I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gordon and Cynthia’s new book ‘The Road To Morocco ‘ It is great ! 👍

[canobolas]

Hola Cynthia. Acabo de ver tus videos de YouTube llamados "Cynthia's Insights", de hace varios años, y realmente los disfruté. ¿Hay alguna posibilidad de que puedas reiniciar una serie como esta, hablando de temas de hoy que te interesan? Tu español natural es tan claro y comprensible para mí (un estudiante de nivel intermedio-avanzado) 🙏. Mis mejores deseos para ti y Gordon. 💃🏻

As of 7/25/21 0 dislikes-- Congratulations! This video deserves it.
I am going to take your strategy of "exchanges" (of words and items) with me whenever I am talking. I trust you guys. Thanks for the good advice/strategy.
Also great explanation that the basic sentence construction is "Le doy la pelota" and that the "le" isn't redundant, but repeating someone's name would be redundant.
So after struggling for clarity for this the last 10 years of slogging through Spanish, I have resolved this problem in 10 minutes 🤦‍♂️😂

I seem to remember an older version where you mentioned you have a list. But I actually agree now rather than memorising lists with language it is usually better to get an intuition for why the sentences form the way they do and when it applies as they you can actually talk in conversation without needing to reference things you have memorised. I find it is just constant use and repetition of gramatical structures until what seems unnatural becomes perfectly fluent by virtue of just having the right connections wired up in your mind.

This question of the dative is really badly taught in general in Spanish classes, and I'm not sure why, maybe it is seen as too complicated? I remember head scratchers like "ciérrame la puerta" which made no sense until you realise that it is saying close the door FOR ME. Or "Te me olvidaste del niño" - you have forgotten the child (and it affects me, an exchange) that only make sense if you understand this concept of exchange vs. information and it is almost never covered.

Vuestro libro de gramática de Pronouns llegó por correo (Amazon) hoy! Soy como un niño con zapatos nuevos! Soy muy fan de vuestros libros de gramática!

[jenb]

Gordon, please tell me that one day I will find that all my ducks are in a line and this will make sense 🙈. Needless to say, I’ve ordered the book 😁

[nigelblanchard]

¿Por qué en el minuto 7, 57 del vídeo usas en tus subtítulos la expresión “como dias manda”? Reproduje el vídeo hacia atrás y hacia adelante un par de veces y estoy seguro de que no te oí usar esa expresión ni que Gordon estuviera alzando la voz en broma sobre Pedro.

[jannaswigart]

Me encanta tu explicación pero todavía tengo una duda... el verbo querer en el sentido de “love” . Te quiero, os quiero, etc. En tu ejemplo has la quiero.... pero xq no puedo decir le quiero a Cynthia xq es un “exchange”. She loves you and you love her.... I better go read your pronoun book that arrived today! It might explain. Before in my long ago Spanish grammar classes I thought le/ les were just like English indirect objects and lo/ los /la/las like our direct objects.... I told him. (Told whom? Him. Direct object that receives the action... so LO... lo dije) but now i realize it’s not that cut and dried.... le dije because of explanation on video. Or is that the manner in Latin American Spanish “lo dije?”? Or maybe I just didn’t get it back then.... LOL. Sorry for the rambling debrief of thoughts rumbling round my brain.... me estoy comiendo el coco un poco. Jajaja

[musicamaxima]

Is there some prejudice against teaching cases? Because that’s essentially what we are talking about. Accusative: lo/la, dative: le

[jeffyoung]

Gordon y siempre claramente explicado y muy util!!!!PERO iis it not correct simply to say that ALL verbs which require A before the relevant person would be translated in the same way as Le di un libro a Maria.This would include eg aconsejar informar invitar ofrecer preguntar explicar preparar dar etc.etc. PS yous is great!!
