    Estoy contigo, Dude! I finally get “dejar”! I never thought I’d “get” por y para, either, until I saw your video. Just discovered you about a week ago. I was close to giving up on Spanish, but now you’ve got me excited to keep learning. !Mil gracias!

      Hi Andrea, if you want to practice sometime just let me know. Would be good for both of us. I need to practice my English as well. :)

    I'm with you Dude!!! I always try to remember when listening to Spanish that words don't mean words, they stand for ideas.

    My husband watched this with me and made me write, “I’m with you, Dude.” I was going to do it anyways, but I got a kick out of how much he enjoyed your video. Looking at the idea behind the word rather than the word itself makes so much more sense than the traditional way of learning. Thanks for the tidbit. We eagerly await your next video

    • @elspanishdude

    You are so right DUDE, estoy contigo. As a beginner I find it difficult to express my thoughts into Spanish. My brain is conditioned to English and verbalising my thoughts into Spanish doesn't come easy even though I know many Spanish words. You have a new subscriber from the UK. Gracias por tu video.

    I've been studying Spanish in one form or another, on and off, for well over 15 years. I lived and worked in Peru during eight of these years. I'm a long way from where I started but there is still so much yet to learn. I've done it all--formal classes, self-study, private tutors, on the fly with locals, in the street, on-line, etc. etc. Now I've found Jordan and I LOVE his fast paced presentations and common sense notations. In the end, it's all about communicating. I'm downright addicted to watching a couple of his videos every day. Whether you're at the beginning, middle or end of your Spanish journey, you'll find Jordan to be informative and entertaining. A great combination!

  • @billobrien4680
    @billobrien4680 Před 6 lety +3

    I am totally with you Jordan! Watching your fantastic videos (and becoming a Lifetime Member), I have realized that the Spanish that I learned in high school taught me a bit (I wasn't a "good student"), but as I began to relearn Spanish for my relocation to Ecuador (where I am now), I came to understand that the linguistic/cultural nuances that have to be realized and internalized to communicate effectively are many. I am enjoying being immersed in Cuenca y aprendiendo todos los días. As you say in your videos, just go out there and say what you can. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. In time it will come.

    • @elspanishdude
      @elspanishdude  Před 6 lety +1

      Excellent Bill. I'm so glad to read this. I totally agree with everything you said. I see good things for your future in Cuenca if you keep that attitude. I'll definitely be back in Cuenca some day. That's for sure.

    • @billobrien4680
      @billobrien4680 Před 6 lety

  • @elisahalliday
    @elisahalliday Před 6 lety +9

    I am with you dude! I once asked Nico how to say "Can I drop off Jesse at your house?" and he said "¿Puedo dejar a Jesse en tu casa?" I guess like what you said, it could literally mean "Can I leave Jesse at your house?" but when you drop him off, you're leaving them behind. So yah! I get it.

    • @elspanishdude

    I'm with you dude. Up until watching your videos I was trying to directly translate *everything*, and that was after four years in high school (at no point did anyone say 'actually that's not always how this works'). It wasn't until your 'words don't mean words' talks that it actually started to click, and I was able to wrap my head around how translation really works. I've found it's really accelerated my ability to both learn and read spanish.

  • @peterthomasjones3675
    @peterthomasjones3675 Před 6 lety +5

    I'm with you... it's like they use the word "left" idiomatically more than we do. I can only imagine a Hispanic mind trying to grasp our many uses of a verb like "take," (take a break, etc.)

    • @elspanishdude
      @elspanishdude  Před 6 lety +1

      For sure (about take). Elisa's been talking about "get" lately in English. That's a crazy one.
      One thought I had today while driving was, in English, we could say "leave him be" or "let him be". So "leave" or "let" for the same thing (two of the "separate" uses of "dejar").

  • @ledbthand
    @ledbthand Před 4 lety +1

    I'm with you dude! I think there's a lot to be said about getting more comfortable "accepting the weird" linguistic changes, and just practicing getting your brain to gloss over the natural instinct/anxiety of "that doesn't sound right". I'd point to Yoda as an example: when you first meet the character of Yoda, there's and instant micro-tensing notion of "why is he speaking so funny?". Slowly though, throughout the rest of the scenes, you begin to "just accept it" and it drops to hover around the same level of how you hear and "accept" different accents of your own native language. Ciao Pues, Caballero!

So thank you for your brilliant videos, I’m a delighted paying subscriber and look forward to more great videos and mastering a language that I love but have only a basic command at the moment. Thanks again!

    • @elspanishdude
      @elspanishdude  Před 6 lety +1

      Ahh, thank you for such a great message Nigel. And I'm sure you are great with words! I feel like being articulate in your native language is separate from this.
      Maybe being articulate could even hurt you because you know the words so well, you feel them as you know them so well, it's hard to see them another way (all of us, not just you).
      I really think for this stuff, being open-minded is the key.
      Open-minded to different ways a word can be used compared to English.
      Open-minded to how words in English or Spanish can be used in different ways (and when you're focused on one way, it's hard to see another).
      Open-minded to different ways of saying the same thing (so you have options for translating).
      Yeah, I just convinced myself. This is all about being open-minded. Being good with words, or articulate, I think that's a different ball game. I think. I'm not sure =) Obviously the more words you know, the better, but ....

    I'm with you, dude. Chinese characters are like this. Each characters represents a core idea. But most words are made up of two characters, and the two characters "interact" to "draw out" the relevant aspects of each other's core meaning to produce the meaning of the word.

  • @JerrodSessler
    @JerrodSessler Před 6 lety

    Yes, I'm with you dude! In fact, I often try to do just what you are saying about associating the meaning behind the word with the word in Spanish. The reason is that I think what we are trying to do is to communicate feelings or ideas (for example) and the words that we associate them with in our primary language are only meaningful to us in the context of what they actually mean. Ok, that is confusing but I think I am saying the same thing that you are and what I feel is that if we can associate a Spanish word with a feeling (for example) then it is easier to remember and use it when we speak.

    For some reason in the abyss of my brain, (so I can't explain why), I've understood "dejar" to mean "let" in the sense of giving information, but now I'm second guessing. Last night I said, "Déjanos saber cuándo la mayoria del grupo esté aquí." - Let us know when the majority of the group is here. The gentleman seemed to understand though...
    Also, I'm with you, dude. The words = ideas concept brought my language learning to a new level.
