Why does learning in CZcams for 5mins feel easier than in class for like 2 hr 😂
Yep
Probably because you choose to
Since clas is kinda forcing you to do it, you don’t enjoy it so you get distracted
You have ADHD
lol ye
graciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Denadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I want to marry you to learn Spanish language,

gracias
I love you and wish for your the best....you the best teacher
Graciaasssssssssssss
My teacher made this seem so hard. Thank you for making this so much more simple.
same bro same
I can relate this was so hard but she made it so easy
why did you watch it then😂@@chantricemarcellin1987
¡Qué bonito gatito! (What a cute kitten!)
You are awesome. Gracias
si tu eres!
Yes, we use military time but it is not very common and it is used in a formal context. To use it just make the rule Hour+Minutes plural, and make sure you learn the numbers from 12 (doce) to 24 (veinticuatro) to give the hour.
Sería, por ejemplo: Son la trece horas, quince minutos (Es la una y cuarto). Son las veintidós horas, veinte minutos (Son las diez veinte), and so on.
But what hour is Midnight ?? 0000 ?
This one is gonna take some extra time to learn , literally 😭😭 !!
Great lesson! I think it's easier to stick with hours plus minutes. Maybe other people might feel differently but, I don't want to have Spanish be more complicated than it already is. You're doing a great job Ana!
I agree 👍
When you tell time on the plus side of the minutes, i.e. 1 to 29, you are adding the minutes. Therefore, 3:05 am /pm is "Son las tres y cinco de la
mañana OR de la tarde." In other words, you need to use the "y" in between the hour and the minutes.
Very helpful thanks!
Estoy de acuerdo, falta la ”y” .
She addressed that in this video.
@@ronarce771 Yes, I used to live on the Mexican border and Spanish speakers there omitted the "y" unless using media or cuarto but did not use "y" with the minutes. I also never heard the use of "menos" like they teach in Spanish classes in the US: Son las siete menos diez was not used but like the teacher said - Son diez para las siete or faltan diez para las siete or son las seis cincuenta.
I love the way you say "OK" ;) Thank you for the lessons, you are doing really good job.
I took up Spanish just out of sheer interest and Anna you are the only Spanish teacher I've ever learned from. This video is absolutely terrific! The explanations and examples were better than any website. Thank You so much. Love from India.
Where are you with your Spanish now?
In the UK we can also say "it's twenty to twelve" so "son veinte para las doce" works for me. Great videos Ana, keep it up!
Thank you for all your helpful videos! I'm in college and never took Spanish in high school. I'm only on my 4th day of Spanish and I've already learned a ton thanks to your videos! I'm able to communicate with some of my Spanish friends although just a little right now ;) Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos.
It’s been 5 years now,would you tell me about your spanish level?cuz I’m also learning I wonder how many years it takes to be fluent
You are way better than my spanish teacher
Hundredth like
Me da gusto
You are best spanish teacher.Really
I started learning Spanish recently and I really do find her videos very useful. She is also full of personality. By going to her website I will definitely make some donations. She deserves it.
I have learnt so much of Spanish from your lessons..thank you....mam ❤️
She’s Always Smiling 😊,I Like That About Her❤️...
WoW
I'm traveling in Costa Rica right now. Yesterday sitting in the water on a surf board, one of the local surfers asked me in English for the time. I decided I would reply in Spanish and how I learnt it was "son las once menos veinte". It is a correct way. However he giggled and gave me a fist bump. "Mi buen amigo, en Costa Rica puedes decir 'veinte para las once" : just like it's being taught in this video. I had to come home to check Butterfly to see how it is being taught. It's not until you travel do you learn more about the real everyday Spanish; if you don't mind reading: here's another example: I was sitting having lunch and this man asked for a "frio", I watched the waitress bring back a tin of fanta. I thought strange then that night, I was ordering some food when she asked me "que frio quiere": forgetting that I had heard that phrase earlier today, I was eh? How cold do I want?, "Como?" "que frio quiere" and she pointed to the fridge. Ah which soda would I like. This is taking my enjoyment of Spanish to a new level and I am more enthusiastic to keep learning more and more. Every day is a School Day. Pura Vida
I was going to give up on Spanish because I had some terrible teachers. But you are THE BEST SPANISH TEACHER ever!! Thank you :)
You are so amazing!! Everyday, I'm learning - reading Spanish thanks to you... Thank you very much and keep smiling, you look like so pretty..
Thank you so much for another wonderful video! Using the right way to tell time is an extremely useful skill.
Im doing self study to learn spanish and I can say your way of teaching is fantastic! So light, so easy to understand! Muchas gracias! 💖💖💖
Learning Spanish for a few months and this is the best Spanish learning channel here! When my teacher makes things complicated, I always watch your videos, it helps a lot! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Love this lesson,so clear! Thank you!
Abby Mulligan Me pone muy feliz que haya sido claro :) Saludos, muchos saludos.
No, it is not wrong. It is correct; for example, "Te veo a las doce" (I will see you at twelve). Es correcto.
You are the best Spanish in the world
Best spanish teacher ever
Lesson 3. Hora: Time. Ahora= now. Para ahora = for now. Y Cuarto: and A quarter. Y Media: and a half. Veinte minutos Para Las Doce = 20 minutes to 12.
when your spanish teacher dosent get that you don’t understand this so you come here and learn it 🤭🤩
True
You also need a few lesson English..
I have Spanish as my subject in school and your videos help me to get good grades
Fantastic and clear explanation.

I learn Spanish to your butterfly spanish
I'm filipina and i speak bisaya dialect I'm surprised because we speak the same by numbers. so grateful because It will be easy for me to learn more Spanish. Gracias Ana.
Estoy aprendiendo un poco de español y inglés al mismo tiempo vendo su canal. :) Me gusta la calidad de sus videos. Soy de Brasil. :)
In Spain we say the time quite different than that. I don't know in Latin American countries, but here we don't use 9:00am or 9:00pm. We say 9:00 (in the morning) and 21:00 (in the evening/night). And also, we don't say 9:45 the way it's said here. We say 9:35 (Diez menos veinticinco), 9:40 (Diez menos veinte), 9:45 (Nueve menos cuarto), 9:50 (Diez menos 10) and 9:55 (Diez menos cinco).
Thank you for this. I'm going to Spain next year and this is very helpful.
Eloines if it's in A. M - de la mañana and P. M - de la noche . Evng time is de la trade
Thanks for sharing , it is very helpful :) 💜
I think it’s generally a bit less common to use AM and PM in Europe, but more common in the American continent. But I think that’s fine. Even if you use the “infrequent” style people will get what you mean.
Pero en Latinoamérica decimos las horas de maneras distintas. A decir verdad, me pareció muy raro decir las horas con minutos sin la y. Ella como mexicana dice: Es la cinco mientras que acá en Sudamérica decimos: Es la una y cinco, no es la una cinco.
Great! Thank you
I have just started learning Spanish.
Greetings from Bali Indonesia 😊
You are very good teacher my friend. I like the way you teach. Thank you very much
In my book & class
We read if it is like 3:40 then we'll use
"Son las cuatro menos veinte''
That's because there's many ways to express time in Spanish. That isn't incorrect. It's just easier to say "It's 5 'til 2" for example
Yes, that's the version I learned, too. I didn't even know there were other ways.
Sí, creo que en España muchas frases se dicen de manera diferente En la introducción de mi video (vídeo en España), hablo un poco de la variedad de una lengua y de la variedad de voces que la hablan.
What if we want to say 20 to 1. Will it be son veinte para las uno or es veinte para la uno??
I like your smile and you look like asian people, what name in your IG. Please tell me name IG you. Thnks
@@aartirajput4836
These are the different ways to say that time:
Son las doce y cuarenta (It's 12:40)
Son veinte para la una (It's 20 to 1)
Son veinte minutos para la una (It's 20 minutes to 1)
Es la una menos veinte [ It's 1 minus 20 minutes] [Round to the next hour & take away the minutes] ; This approach is no longer used I believe, but only works for the the left side of the clock dealing with above 30 minutes]
** You would say UNA because we are referring to the hour (la hora= the hour [ singular] & it's a feminine noun).
You would only say "para LAS _____" if the hour that follows it is 2-12, or the plural hours.
@@krystal5z Thank you for your detailed explanation:D I was also struggling to it XD
@@Jack-mk5mi No problem Jack! Happy to help :)
¡Hola! ¿Cómo te va, Ana? Soy un médico y pronto estaré trabajando en los países latinoamericanos de escasos recursos. He estudiado español durante años, pero todavía disfrutar viendo tus videos! (Mi esposa es de Zacatecas y es un estrecho empate entre quién es más linda! Ja ja ja ja!) Tiene una personalidad encantadora, y sus vídeos ayuda la gente a superar la barrera del idioma. Espero que su carrera le lleva mucho más allá de CZcams! Usted es el mejor comunicador (y artista) me acuerdo de ver! : )
Gracias por escribirme un mensaje tan bonito. Ma pone muy contenta. Yo soy de Cuernavaca. Su esposa ha de conocer, es un lugar muy bonito. Buena suerte con su trabajo y gracias por ayudar a la gente que lo necesita.
This is the 2nd time I've been learning Spanish and it hasn't been sticking but ever since I've been watching your videos it has helped a lot
"Excelente" en español.
May I add minutos like this 3:5 AM son las tres y cinco minutos de la mañana
Is it correct???
Te amo mucho mi linda maestra😍😍😍
Thank you so much for this! So helpful!
Good teaching skills. She makes learning fun.
I really want to learn Spanish. I have been watching your lessons for 3 days. I'm from Greece and I see that all these are EXACTLY like Greek. Especially the time!!!!
this is the best lesson ever
This was very helpful, gracias!
Hi
Eres el mejor maestra del mundo.
You are the best teacher in the world 😩♥️♥️♥️
No creo pero gracias de cualquier manera :)
Maybe you are more visual. I am too.
Your lovely this is for sure 👍
Beautiful 💝 Butterfly :)
Are you single ..
Your... So sweet !
I wish you explained even the spain version, i think in spain they use the word "menos" after 30 minutes, like son las tres menos diez, for saying its ten past three and so on :-)
Thank you so much, I have learned a lot by watching your videos.
Abbas Vallipour son Las tres menos diez means ten to three not ten past three. :)
Abbas Vallipour son Las tres y diez is ten past three
Brown Gyal Kalisse, you are right, thank you :)
Abbas Vallipour yeah thats how I also learned it if u wanna say 10 minutes to 3 (2:50) its tres menos diez...
We're learning that way :p and it confuses me
best teacher in the world
mejor profesor en todo el mundo
This is so good. Better than Anything I’ve tried
In our spanish class we learned the pink time and we say "Son las doce menos veinte" for 11:40.
in some countries is correct ...
son las doce menos veinte =son veinte para las doce = son las doce cuarenta
Winston Zeddemore Shouldnt it be son las once cuarenta on the last one?
In my country just really old people say it this way. ¨Faltan veinte para las doce¨is what most people say.
Very well! Thank you! Don't stop, please. (Y)
Thank you Ana Ma'am, you helped me to learn the timing in just 9 minutes. I don't know how to thank you. Love from India.. 🇮🇳💙🌷
In the Phil., my country, it's pretty easy to master the telling the time, because our senior citizens still use those term. Phil. had been colonized by Spain in 1521-1898, but teaching Spanish had been totally stopped in public school which replaced by English. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU for making clear that the correct way to ask the time is "qué hora es?", and that the correct answer is "es la una". I am so tired of hearing "qué horas son? and "son la una".
However, I have a problem with "Son las dos diez". Who speaks like that? a computer? How about, son las dos y diez...?
Otherwise, great class.
If you think about it, it makes sense. In English we say "It's two ten." Son las dos diez makes sense to me when I think of it that way.
I disagree. One cannot speak Spanish using the argument "in English we say" it like this. Otherwise we'd be putting adjectives before nouns too.
I completely agree; they are different languages and it would be incorrect to argue grammar based on another language. I've also noticed that some things are similar across languages while other things are very different which is why it's less surprising that "Son las dos diez" is one of multiple ways to communicate time.
Hahaha... Being trilingual myself, I often think in Spanish when speaking French. Fortunately, both languages share a common root and with some exceptions, they can be superimposed. However, when attempting that with French/English, or Spanish/English, the results can range from comical to downright disastrous. Having said this, I don't want to discourage anyone from learning. The videos are indeed very helpful.
I am native spanish speaker from Argentina and we rather say: dos y diez for 2:10 and tres menos diez for 2:50.
How do I say 12:59 in the second way ? "Es una para la una?"
and also, in Spanish, do we use 24 hours rule, or 12 hours + am/pm ?
GRACIAS de antemano! :D
Falta un minuto para la una. Son las doce y cicuenta y nueve. Una para la una is correct but sounds funny, I rather round it and say ¨es la una¨ tell you the truth.
Y si el reloj marca 1: 02, yo digo:
«La una con dos colgando».
I love your way of teaching ..
Best Spanish teacher on CZcams
Hi Butterfly,
How long have you been speaking english and how long did it take to become totally fluent? Thanks
weirdo
if it was 1 to 12 would it be. "es la uno para doce" or is it still "son las uno para doce" ?
...and vice versa, if it is 12:45, is it son quarto para una or with es ... ?
Nick Peebles
In Spanish:
- 1: 40. The hour 1 is una. Always. If it is the hour "1" or "13", we say una.
But minutes is uno.
It is our way.
- 2:01. Las dos y uno. Las dos y un minuto.
- 13:59. Las dos menos uno. Las dos menos un minuto. La una y 59. La una y 59 minutos.
The way to say "what time is it" when the minutes are past the first 30 ones:
We do it as we do because is the way we learned in early stages of our Math classes.
30 - 1. We say 30 menos uno.
So... 20:48 can be: Las 9 menos 12. Las 9 menos 12 minutos.
CUARTO.
In terms of minutes: 15 = cuarto. 30 = media.
We say 1/4 = un (1) cuarto (/4).
1 x (1/4) = un cuarto.
60 minutes / 15 = 4. So, there are 4 cuartos in 1 hour. 4 x (1/4) = 1.
- 5:45. Son las 6 menos cuarto.
We don't say "las 6 menos un cuarto".
Nor "las 6 menos cuarto minutos".
"6 menos cuarto" comes from:
6 - 1/4. Overriding the word "un".
MEDIA.
1/2. We say un medio.
1 x (1/2) = un medio. Uno por un medio es (=) un medio.
Then why we say media to explain 30 minutes?
Because "hour" is femenin for us. Media hora. Your "half an hour" = our "media hora".
We think "media hora" but we say only... "media". Las 5 y media. 5:30.
That is our logic inside our language.
"Logic" cannot be compared between 2 languages.
You can compare logic within your language, only.
Because there is not a reference in terms of languages.
And when we are compairing things... we need a reference.
So... English cannot be compaired with Spanish. Nor Spanish with English.
Each language has its own logic.
We always say hours and then minutes... not minutes to hours.
In other kind of conversations, yes.
You can say in Spanish:
"Hurry up, John! 6 minutes left to..." (08:54).
The one and only case we say minutes before the hour.
"¡Corre, Juan! Faltan 6 minutos para...".
But, in terms of "what time is it"...
First the hours and 2nd, the minutes. Always.
@@carlosd.a.9257 this is looooooooooooooooooooooooooog.
Queeni Pie But that is all about the time in Spanish. No more... and no less... sry
Mucha Gracias, you are so much better than my Spanish teacher.
Wow, she has that "Penelope Cruz" cuteness to her. This really helps in learning because she is having fun, so that helps us in learning. So many teacher are boring. Why do I want to learn something boring? I learn more from these videos than from my Spanish teacher (She is too fast, and doesn't explain ANYTHING). Thank you!
Me gusta mirar este tipo de videos para ver si la "profesora" lo dice bien :v ¿Soy el único?
Acá en México no decimos tan así 😂 solo decimos: Las mismas de ayer pero diferente día 😂😂😂
Thanks a million dear teacher.You're helping a lot.Take care!
The best teacher ever of Spanish
12: 10 ...Son las doce y diez....you are missing the "y" Never heard anyone say son las doce diez. It's grammatically incorrect.
Atleast here in Mexico City, it's without "y".
Yeah, I was surprised at that too. In fact, at least in Spain, we use that "y" to sometimes shorten the expression to just saying "son y cinco", "son y veinte", etcetera, if it's impliedthe person who asks already knows the hour (obviously, it depends totally on the context).
Intl Brian but it is still incorrect and if you are going to teach proper Spanish , which is the type of Spanish teachers should teach the “y” should be used . Have a good day
@@intlbrian4369 Thank you!
@@Maria63641 On the street and in real life, grammatically correctness doesn't exist. It's like English teachers confusing their poor ESL students with the importance of 'who' versus 'whom'. Even native English speakers don't bother, and that kind of grammatical nitpicking destroys the confidence of ESL students.
Even worse, no one speaks that way except in language teacher circles. I'd get laughed at for telling time that way in Mexico City. They would understand me, but give me a weird look, and if we were friends, might even correct me by saying "guey... nada más di 'son las doce diez' sin la 'y', es más común" (translation: "dude... just say it's twelve ten without the 'and', it's more common").
I past my exam
javea mitchell. yay for your success.
OMG you explained this way better than my Spanish teacher!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! I totally understand how to tell time in Spanish!!!
Boss GURL Gracias a ti :)
Very brilliante teacher

Still a little confused on after 40
Your explanation is AMAZING
muchos gracias Anna 💜❤🌹
Thanks a lot for your beautiful work. Soy de Nigeria y viviendo en Mexico. Gracias por tus lecciones. Am doing better now than before. Muchissima gracias Ana.
you re amazing | I did all my revisions with your videos this morning. Gracias
Mi Masetra Ana, Estoy feliz for the lessons
Muchas gracias. Eso fue perfecto. I have a much better understanding of saying & hearing the time.
Me encanta que seas sencilla y directa. Me encanta tu acento en inglés!
You are a very good teacher
Buenos días desde Inglaterra! Gracias por el video. Aquí decimos también "five past one" para decir "1:05"
I'm glad I decided to start from the beginning (despite not being a beginner). I didn't know the "(number) para (next hour)" rule of telling time! I look forward to filling in more gaps as I go along.
Grasias a todo,i am learning spanish thanks to ana,and i also benefit from google translator,and a few other programs,i also try to learn italian,mi piace espanol and italiano,dos idiomas son similares, adios,ciao ciao
good news for filipinos who study spanish because most of us use this kind of counting already. the spelling is different but it sounds the same. we use isa, dalawa, tatlo, apat, lima, or uno, dos, tres, kwatro, singko.
thanks a lot! i can easily understand it very well now my spanish is improving.muchos gracias ana.
So glad I found your Spanish class.You make it easy to learn and understand Spanish.
👌lovely Ana...hora is a latin ..in indian language still we use hora to quantify time...thanks for your teaching..
Thanks so much Ana❤️❤️❤️❤️..
Thank you for your videos, i live in Germany and in my school I have to take Spanish and your videos really saved me.
i want to thank you for your classes because i am moving to the Dominican Republic in January i now i can speak a little spanish
Ed Pierson Great! You will have so much fun there, and I am glad my lessons will help you communicate with your Spanish amigas y amigos :) Suerte en República Dominicana.
Muchas gracias mi profesora querida
You are best teacher 😘😘😘
Hey! Ana; You are teaching spainish in a very good way..
Gracias por compartir estos videos, enseño español en Miami y en las clases no tengo mucho tiempo de explicarlo todo, los alumnos tienen que prepararse e ir a practicar al aula, por tanto tus clases son muy interesantes y de gran ayuda para nosotros. Siempre les oriento para que las vean y te sigan.
Liveliest person out there! Thanks so much for these eye opening lessons!!
