    This video is a perfect example of why we, American English speakers learning Spanish, need an American in certain situations to teach us. Especially when it comes to intermediate to advanced grammar. A native Spanish speaker can never in a month of Sundays explain this difficulty even close to how clear you make it for us.

    For the most part, I agree with your assertion. However, all my advanced grammar classes were instructed by a native-speaking linguistist from Spain but he was a linguist. So, he was atypical and highly talented and in eyes, he is exceptional. Instructors who learned Spanish can often explain grammatical topics better because they had to learn that material, whereas native speakers absorbed the structures by high frequency exposure. Having said all of that, the non-native speaker can be terrible because they ultimately do not understand structure to any significant level.

    It depends, I mean, I'm a native Spanish speaker and I think I myself usually do a pretty good job explaining this subject. It depends more with the type of teachers you've had or the type of lessons/classes you've had experience with unfortunately. It's the same both ways, I can tell you I struggled with some very bad or inexperienced native English teachers and usually it has nothing to do with the teacher being native or not, but with the experience with the subject and the ability to explain and efficiently pass down that information to the students. I'm an English teacher and Spanish teacher btw.

    @@FreddieHg37 Yeah, what you say is true. Nowadays, experience does not mean so much to me. I work with people who have had decades of experience in my field, and in so many cases, they are mediocre at best and often times terrible. When I had the professor I mentioned, he was brand new directly from having finished his Ph.D. He was nothing less than awesome. Experience is like anything else. It can be either good experience or bad experience. One can be very experienced at being mediocre to bad or experienced at being above average to excellent. Ultimately, it depends on one's depth of understanding and ability to convey the subject matter, regardless of one's nationality and native language.

    Grammar books try to teach this stuff about indirect/direct object pronouns, but looking back on it, I think that beginners can't really "get it" from studying it in grammar contexts. To be able to use it takes more than understanding it mentally. It has to be absorbed and to be automatic to the ear and speaking brain.

    I'm really appreciating your videos. I'm not certain, but I think I may be a unique case in the pursuit of fluency in Spanish. I'm less than three weeks away from my 80th birthday and I took two years of classroom Spanish starting 66 years ago. Like most Americans, two years in a classroom did little to make Spanish a part of my life. But I didn't put it on a mental shelf gather ingredients dust. At least not permanently. I would come back to it periodically, reviewing my vocabulary and adding a few words to it. Then I began seeking written materials in Spanish and practicing reading them aloud. I've reached a point where I can read newspaper stories and get from 70% up to 90%+ of the article without looking up many words. But I still wasn't able (or willing) to converse in Spanish. After all of these years, I rank my ability as a Spanish-speaking person at high end of "beginner" or barely reaching "intermediate." Your videos are in the process of changing that. I am reading more consistently. I am watching more TV and videos, trying to learn to understand better what I hear. Two days ago, I started a diary - in Spanish - to record my attempts to make Spanish a major part of my life. But in the four days since first watching your videos, my vocabulary has grown dramatically and my comfort with listening to Spanish has grown. It is many hours of practice away from being satisfactory, but I already feel a difference. Oh, I also ordered the book that you recommended, and it is supposed to be delivered today. You said in the first video I watched that fluency is not quickly attained - probably at least two years. I'm hoping that building on the foundation that has come from years of haphazard efforts I might be able to shorten that a bit.

    I am similar, I find my comprehension of spoken and written Spanish has developed quite quickly with a daily lesson on duo lingo and from watching KZread videos. But when it comes to speaking or writing I am back to complete beginner. I think the idea of writing a Spanish diary is really a good one. The practice of actually forming one’s own sentences is a big step. I think doing that for a while will help with speaking too. The good thing is there are translation apps so one can check. I think I will adopt your idea! In my mid seventies by the way…and I hope you had a happy 80th birthday!

    Just to append (I'm a native Spanish speaker). Mexicans particularly tend to use redundant pronouns. Example: -"María me llamó. Pero, *yo* le dije *a ella* que no podía ir". Translation: (Maria called me, but I told her that I couldn't come). Here, *yo* and *a ella* are redundant, because the 1st singular person pronoun "yo" can be inferred (and therefore omitted): "Yo le dije a ella" = "Le dije a ella". Also, the part "a ella" can be omitted, because of the indirect object pronoun "le". Also, it's obvious that we are referring to "Maria", so we can perfectly say: "Maria me llamó, pero le dije que no podía ir". It is worth to mention that these redundancies are NOT grammatically incorrect, it's up to you whether using them or not, and in this sense Spanish is a lot flexible. You can either be redundant (it you like), or not.

    This video is super enlightening and helpful. I think what hurts a lot english speakers is of the first 7 verbs we are taught "gustar" and "encantar" are among them and They have an opposite effect with indirect object pronouns. Me encanta basically means "i love" which leads you to believe encantar means "love" but its more like "enchants"or "causes enchantment". Same thing with gustar. For instance "me encanta" means i love something else but "me quire" means something else loves me so the word order cant simply be replicated. Gustar along with tener, querer, and ir are like staple verbs and one reverses word order and the others is an irregular verb. The bottom line is you need enough exposure to identify and remember all these special case but fortunately for us english is a language of exceptions so we are used to remembering how to pronounce a word like "naive". Ill probably find out this has been covered in depth before

    Omg!!! I have been searching for an easy-to-understand-non-confusing explanation to this exact topic! Thank you SO MUCH for this video and the Part 2! I finally understand indirect/direct object pronouns! You have a wonderful way of explaining the Spanish language from the perspective of an English native speaker TO English native speakers. So incredibly helpful! Thank you for all you do! 😃

In terms of correctness, and precision your explanations of the changes in the small parts of speech ( like the inclusion of "a" and of the redundant "le" and "la", and as well as of the contraction, 'el' to "al", and 'le' and 'la' to "se" ] are very helpful.
