  • In this video I will read a text so you can practice your Spanish comprehension skills. You will learn many Spanish verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs - in context. I used a text written by a Spanish native speaker so that you see how naturally the Spanish language flows. This video will not only help you learn to understand oral Spanish, but will also help you speak Spanish in an idiomatic way. With this video I hope to help you understand Spanish when your hear it. While reading the text I will take the opportunity to go over some terms, phrases, and verbs that are important not only in this story, but in the Spanish language world. This type of class will improve your vocabulary and grammar while also helping your pronunciation and understanding.

    You teach with the perfect mix of speaking Spanish and English, letting us figure it out on our own for a minute, and then filling us in. It's a wonderful challenge! We stretch our minds a bit, but yet you don't leave us behind if we don't understand immediately. Teaching is truly your gift. Thank you for sharing it with us!

      And very clear enunciation. Many native speakers crush two or three words into one sound or mumble or are too fast, and it is very difficult to understand.

    Back in school they had a Spanish teacher that could barely speak English, so 99% of the class didn't learn anything during Spanish class. I went to Colombia and I've learned so much that now I can pick out few words when people Spanish people speak. I even start thinking a little in Spanish and I'm glad I discovered your CZcams page, because duolingo can only give you an idea of the language.

  • @lyons11siren

    Spanish is my first language. I learned English at age 5. I no longer speak Spanish and this video is a great way to dust off my Spanish language listening skills.
    Thank you!!
    With all my respect…there was one part of the video
    where you talk about descargar/“download” and the English word should be “unload”. For better clarification: We unload cargo and download information.
    I’m now a subscriber.

    • @JuanMoreno-wo5yb
      @JuanMoreno-wo5yb Před rokem

      That is the case in English, we would say unload but in Spanish unload and download both can be translated in Spanish as descargar. Kinda crazy but that is true.

    I studied Spanish as 3rd mandatory language in middle school in France 35 yrs ago. Now i live in the U.S, it's an excellent opportunity to review and refresh my memory (in French we have same nightmare in conjugation, gender, grammar). Our teacher was like you, very passionate and humorous. She encouraged us to fundraise and had enough to money to discover Madrid for 1 week. Thanks
