I love the way you teaching ❤🎉

[@aliaila4475]

Oh this helped fill the gap with duolingo 😅

[@TrailBlazingTurtle]

Maybe it is just me, but I have had to rewatch this video multiple times just to get a small piece of it to stick. It is really hard for me to retain anything grammar wise because there are so many different rules, I wish there would have been more examples or something a little more visual.

[@user-ow3ov3ps9z]

Yup u r right

[@user-ow3ov3ps9z]

*Spain in the Middle Ages* ….. Hey how can we confuse the English with our language? Oh let’s make all of these tenses!

[@pookizzz]

This video is super helpful in learning the different tenses! I think if you went a bit slower and gave more examples, it would be easier to follow.

[@dmaeceryes905]

you had me up until the subjunctive. Maybe that should have been a separate video?
