Brief History of the Spanish Language
¡Hola queridos estudiantes! Welcome to the first video of this Level 1 playlist created in hopes of helping you not just survive learning Spanish but enjoy the learning process and gain confidence.
This video introduces you (in English) to a brief history of how Spanish originated, evolved, and spread throughout the world. I hope that having some background information gives you greater awareness and appreciate for Spanish as you continue to learn this widely-spoken language.
The additional videos on the A1 playlist use Spanish Comprehensible Input to expose you immediately to Spanish in a way that is comprehensible. Spanish CI (Comprehensible Input) and TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) are effective and engaging ways to learn a language. If you enjoy this approach to language acquisition, subscribe to my channel and share with your language-loving friends for more TPRS and Comprehensible Input videos to come!

Estoy, del verbo estar. Ser y estar son verbos distintos en español. Pero es un error frecuente en quienes lo estáis aprendiendo, no te preocupes. Un saludo.

Thank you so much for this. I want to learn Spanish for work and to move abroad. Your video was very informative and I am now a dedicated subscriber.
Wonderful Job! Thanks for sharing!
It is a great video. As a Spanish speaker I liked it a lot. Excellent job Sarah.
Great video! As a student of French, I always wondered why the French language is so much harder and more confusing than Spanish, considering that they're both Romance/Latin languages and France and Spain are right next to one another geographically. (Also, I think Spanish is definitely the closest to Classical Latin out of the two.) It's interesting to see how the individual histories of nations are reflected in their respective languages.

It’s not really that much harder. It’s grammar is a bit unlike Spanish.

¡Muy interesante tu vídeo! I think you did quite a good summary of the languages in Spain and how Spanish became what it is now today. I would like to add that in the territories of Southern Iberia ruled by different muslim rulers, we could say the population spoke two languages :arabic and mozarabic. This second language developed from Latin like Spanish, but was heavily influenced by Arabic, spoken by the elite. In fact, it is believed that many of those loanwards that you mention came from mozarabic, and not directly Arabic. This language was named after the Christian population of these territories, who were in the position of either maintaining their christian roots or adopt the vibrant and hectic innovations of Al-Andalus. Mucha suerte y... ¡Viva el español y el inglés!

Thank you Sarah, you are an inspiration to make the most of what were limitations from the pandemic. I finished a video of the history of French on "The Traveling Linguist" website. My hope was to get the same from you showing how Latin developed into proto-Spanish, the break up of Latin into Galician, Leonese, etc. and what made them unique to each other, and finally into modern Spanish. My experience of your excellent video was one more of a political history of how Spanish became a dominant language in the world, not a real history of the [development of] Spanish Language [from Latin]. I would have enjoyed learning how Castilian and Aragonaise merged, what remained and shows in Spanish today, and what was lost. For me, I would like to learn how did Latin evolved into Spanish over the centuries. Why are there two imperfect subjunctives, which one today is used when, and where did they come from? How did Spanish develop estar and ser from Latin, the lost of the Neuter grammatical gender (except in some cases with "lo", but is that really neuter?)? I am a Slavic Linguist, and have studied how proto-Slavic developed into the modern Slavic languages, mostly focused on Russian. I invite you do that with us with Spanish. What was Spanish during the Moors like, what influences beyond vocabulary changed Spanish? Is the Spanish of Cervantes the same Spanish of Borges? This was a fun video. I do not mean to, and hope I did not, shoot you down. I encourage you to do more, and would love to get my answers to those two awful imperfect subjunctives!

Hola Edward! Romance languages are the modern languages that evolved from spoken Latin; these languages were termed "Romance" because it was the language spoken by "Romans."

It's easy to challenge us all to do better when we have all the comforts this world has to offer , and we're not struggling to survive like they had to do back then. Not condoning, but also not holding them to today's moral standards either
