Indirect Object Pronouns
Get the free practice resources for this video:
spanishdude.com/quickies/indi...
Once you know your direct object pronouns in English, you're done. Direct and indirect object pronouns in English are exactly the same.
But not in Spanish. Oh no.
So... You can't just say "him" or "her" or "them" when you're talking.
They have more than one version of each.
You have to pick the right one!
But don't worry. It's annoying, but not THAT hard.
In today's video, not only will I explain what the heck direct and indirect objects are (I had no idea either!)
But you'll quickly see how they're different...
So you can pick the right one.
Any questions. Just shoot.

Duuuude!! You just taught me Indirect Object pronouns in 7 minutes that i've been trying to learn from my professor for 2 weeks. Why aren't English speakers Spanish teachers? Makes a huuuge difference! Thank you!

I used to believe that "Native Speakers" were better teachers than those who went through the arduous process of understanding the language from scratch... The reality is, that people who were born and raised in their mother language, don't know how their language is assembled, they just speak.. From this day on, I always seek a person like me who went through the whole process of learning and understanding the language before being fluent at it.. Once you reach a high level, you can focus on Native speakers... Thanks Spanish dude!

so true.. I speak excellent English... but I never knew why what I was saying was correct... just that it WAS correct. I've had to go back and review all that crap from 5th grade and middle school about object pronouns, infinitives, etc... just to get a firm grasp on how Spanish works lol.

I am here for English listening practice , and I agree with you . Some native speakers are good at teaching and some are not . Foreighn teachers are good at explaining grammar concepts to those who speak the same first language than them , because they had to analice a lot of their learned language structure to become fluent.

Well if they are a teacher then they have to know the curriculum and they all went to school to be a teacher. They would know more words and be more fluent because they speak it in their everyday day live, not to mention that learning a language isn’t just the language but the culture behind it. I’m not saying that non Hispanic people can’t teach Spanish, but I am saying that you can’t rule out natives for it being their first language

@@lolasan3702 I think some native teachers are excellent, but they do have a hard time explaining the parts of the language that don't make sense, as they never had to go through the process themselves. It's the same for me as an English speaker. I would not be as good at teaching English as someone who had to learn it from scratch.

I had to drop Spanish II because I was about to have a nervous breakdown trying to understand these along with preterites and the whole Esto, eso, esa, esta, aquellas, etc. It was too much, too fast. I'm pausing this video all the way through to write the instructions into my notebook for Spanish II, take two......action!
Took 8 minutes to explain this better than an entire week of lecture from my professor

Gringo Espanol, I love your channel! I did have a quick question about this video. Is this a situation in which it would be beneficial to say A El Me Dice (To me he speaks)? I noticed that you put it on the end, but based on the way Spanish structure works, couldn't you also put it on the beginning. Basically for clarity. I'm studying for a Spanish 112 exam and I think my professor asks us to write A El as opposed to just El because in Spanish speaking countries it can be helpful for clarity. Does this sound correct to you?

You know, you are so right in that we can understand English better. I had no idea what a subordinating conjunction was until my Spanish teacher told us.
I found this video and the direct object pronoun video really helpful. Is there any chance you could make a video the imperative because i find it really hard to understand. I've looked up videos on it but they don't explain as good as you do. p.s Keep doing the videos they are brilliant and really helpful

Excellent! I'm glad you found it. Yes, this is a very tricky topic. I think I even said in the video, to me, this is tougher than verb conjugation. It's not as much--verb conjugation is so much--but to me--this is harder to understand in all the contexts. But once you know, you know. And it gets much easier. Glad this helped. Even if you still get confused by specific examples, please know that's expect. It gets so complicated in real life. It's not you. It's life. So keep on going. You will get it. These videos cover the basic ideas, then contexts are unlimited But if you banged your head for 3 hours, that tells me you IN. ALL IN. So I have confidence in you =) Good luck my friend!
