I'm working through a huge depression. when I'm better i will consider $. Right now I'm tapped out on Monks, missions, and Catholic writers.
No worries. I understand.
Qroo Spanish is answering questions about Spanish that I haven't found in textbooks. This is by far the best format I've found. Every time I see one of these videos, I get clarification about usage that I never really understood well enough to use or to teach effectively. I have been studying Spanish for a long time. I have taught beginning and intermediate high school Spanish over a long teaching career, also teaching French and German. I grew up bilingual. What makes this program exceptional is that explanations are given in a grammatical format with examples to try out. I especially like the reasoning behind the usage, which makes it easy to remember and use the new stuff. The best ever!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed response. I try to fill a void in language learning. Having learned the language as an adult gives me a huge advantage in this area.
Agreed! He's got a knack for knowing which questions bother learners, and for providing answers clearly and efficiently so as not to waste anyone's time con tonterias
Can you teach me some basic German phrases?
I swear i just asked my Spanish teacher for this lesson and he flat out refused to give it, or couldn't! This was so so very helpful. Thanks for this!
Happy to help!
I’ve looked like a lunatic every once in a while to practice-it’s worth it! 😂
I got the best spanish lesson ever the other day when playing poker. A young spanish guy to my left said to an older spanish guy to his left "la ultimo mano", "the last hand". It struck me cause I heard him clearly and the correct way is "la ultima mano", but he was speaking in a way that Michel Thomas described as "Over the net" cause it was understood. Good news is I didn't correct him lol and instead stopped worrying so much about little errors like that, cause if the native speakers don't care, why should I. Good times. Happy Holidays to all.
this the only man on the intereet that actually m,akes me feel like im using my time well learning this language
Congratulations on reaching 100k followers! 🎉
Thanks!
congratulations on 100K!
Thanks!
Paul, lo has clavado. Los españoles me corregían mucho por "de que se trata" ... De que trata es lo correcto. La otra información también es muy útil. "No tiene nada que ver con ..." es una expresión que utilizo a diario. No me sorprende que hayas superado los 100.000 suscriptores que mereces todo el éxito.
¡Gracias!
Along the same lines, I was taught merecer is reflexive, is it the te lo mereces or mereces ?
@@silentjay6132I'm not a teacher, but I'm a native speaker so here I go the best I can, "te lo mereces" is used in the context of a reward, let's say a friend of yours has been working very hard and they've got a promotion, in that case you'd tell "te lo mereces", however "te lo mereces" is in fact an expression, if you wanted to more specific about it, you'd tell "Te mereces esa promoción, bien hecho"
"mereces" is more of a desire thing, for instance "Has trabajado duro, mereces esa promoción" wich translates to "You've been working hard, you deserve that promotion", as you can tell someone wants another person to achieve such promotion.
In short, "te lo mereces" is an expression that can be replaced with "mereces" if a more specific context is needed.
@@silentjay6132 Yeah, I probably should've written ... que te mereces todo el éxito.
Nice plaque! 🎉
Thanks!
Congratulations! You made 100,000! What a great Christmas present!
Thank you!
Haha everyone at work thinks I’m a lunatic because I am constantly talking to myself in broken Spanish 😅
Haha, just tell them you're practicing.
Hi Paul! Thank you for the video, especially the explanation & example starting at 1:23 . I’ve wondered about this, yet haven’t come across it in books or lessons. ¡Gracias!
No te dejas distraer por cosas que no tiene nada que ver con tus metas.! Learned that one in one of your old videos…love the lessons! The Qroo crew is awesome too love all the extras! Vale la pena
Good video y helpful info!!! Gracias!!!
Glad it was helpful!
great video as always…this is like something I needed and didn’t know I needed it
Glad you liked it!
¡Sus explicaciones siempre son tan claras! No lo puedo creer.
Ortro video bien hecho Y muy informativivo. Gracias.
Gracias!
Thank you! Something I learned just yesterday that is similar to your topic. Ex: "estamos a punto de...". (We are about to...") Also, I just learned the phrase "tener que ver con..." last week. I like your explanation! Again, thank you.
Thanks for watching. I use "estar a punto de" quite often. It's a good one. :)
Gracias Paul, eres el mejor. Siempre aprendo mucho con tus lecciones. Tienes un don para ensenar. Que Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia. Feliz navidad!
Esta video tiene que ver con estudiar más fácil! Muchas gracias ❤ saludos desde Alemania 🇩🇪
Your explanations are always very good. Thanks!
Thanks for the positive feedback and for watching.
¿ Paul, "probar" significa la misma como 'intentar' y 'tratar de'?
Me encanta de ver su premio en la pared! 🎉🎉🎉
Gracias Paul! Vivo en Buenos Aires y aca se usa tratarse. Podrías hacer un vídeo corto de las etapas del tiempo: A mediados/A fines/A finales del mes por ejemplo? 🙏
Congratulations, Paul! You've reached 100k subscribers!
Thanks!
your last comment made me laugh. I speak to myself in Spanish all the time while I'm driving and try to create new sentences. people probably thing I'm crazy. haha. but on a serious note, your videos have helped me a ton! I actually had to translate for two hispanic families that came to my church the other day and it felt so good knowing that all of my hard work is paying off. Gracias mucho!
That's great that you were able to communicate! That proves that your hard work is paying off!
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
The verb Tratar, it also has another very important meaning In English..."Don't TREAT me this way" = No me TRATES así.
thank you but, how do i say "what is it about this book that you like so much?"
You make it very easy
tu eres lo maximo.
Gracias. ;)
Quiero decir algo sobre la placa de CZcams en el fondo. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Gracias :)
Hi Paul, is there a “rule” for using the article with the verb tener? For example: Ojalá la casa tuviera garaje. As an English speaker my natural inclination would be to say *un* garaje, so is there any way to know when to omit the article? Thanks in advance.
Hi, I'm a spanish speaker from Chile. You can say in both ways... "un" is an article of quantity... but both ways are correct
Perfecto
Hola Inez. :)
ver con ... ok thank you
❤
Gracias.
You can replace "trata" for "va" to be more informal
Great video as usual. A question unrelated to this video- are Spanish words always pronounced the same as they are written? What I mean is that for instance in English, the word “live” can be pronounced “liv” or “lyve” depending on the meaning/context. Are there such words in Spanish?
Spanish pronunciation is much easier because they will be pronounced as they are written. If the emphasis is on a different syllable than it normally would be, thry will include an accent mark over that vowel.
Great video! Sobre can be used when you say that you will come “sobre las cinco. de la noche”…but what I am having hard time finding in Spanish is when French people say: vers 5 heures…this is close to 5, but actually a little bit before 5…any idea how we can say this in Spanish. “Towards 5” would be in English…but is this correct?
En francés, « vers 5 heures » no significa un poco antes de las 5, pero claramente significa alrededor de las 5. Puede que pasen 10 minutos antes o 10 minutos después, pero diremos: «Nos vemos vers 5 heures ». Una forma educada de no asumir un compromiso demasiado firme.
Please could u make video in the past subjunctive
Conjugations or usage?
@@QrooSpanish usage. conj are in WR!
@@QrooSpanish ambas porfa
Another good video but why is Paul talking at half speed…..?
Apologies to Paul. Someone changed playback speed on my iPad so lesson was odd! Whoops. Great lesson and recommended.
Haha. You probably thought I was drunk.
Why do "this is a story about my grandfather" and "this book is about..." fall into different categories? Why can't we say "Esta historia trata de la (el)..." or Este libro es sobre...🙈"? Because there is "this is a..." and in the second case there is no "this is" ?
Thanks!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your generosity! Have a great week!
Thanks!
Thank you soooooo much!
