    Hola Dr. Danny, I found myself laughing out loud with you when you were talking about hablaba and it made me think back to when I was taking lessons in class at the Spanish institute in Manchester. Your teaching method and clarity of explanation is what makes me a dedicated student of your lessons. The great advantage your method has for me is that during class based lessons I couldn't take good notes and listen to the teacher's explanations at the same time, whereas I just pause, rewind and repeat as required to gain maximum benefit from your lessons. The only element I miss is that I am not speaking Spanish at the moment and this is something I have to address. P.S. escribiendo mi cuaderno di tablas!

    • @TheLanguageTutor
      @TheLanguageTutor  Před 4 lety +3

    I enjoy your channel and trying to learn Spanish as I commute to work/home. The only issue is I am 8 min into the video and arrived to my destination and I have not heard a single Spanish word just yet but English grammar. I am pretty sure thats helpful for many though. I believe making short video and to the point when you can see the example of the subject matter right away would interest some people as well. Much appreciated. Thanks for your channel and hard work.
