Learn Spanish: Conversation Practice - What are you thinking about?
Practice your Spanish listening and comprehension skills with the story I wrote and will perform for you. This class will help you improve your Spanish comprehension by increasing your Spanish vocabulary, listening to real-life conversations, and using current Spanish. This story takes on the verb "pensar" and many of its forms (pensamiento, pensativo, piénsalo, pensando, etc.) This practice will accustom your ear to Spanish so you understand more every day. Listen, understand, and learn with this comprehensive oral Spanish practice. Do you want to improve your oral Spanish skills? Then watch my video and learn from it.

I transcribed the story below in case you are curious about the sentences
¿Por qué estás tan pensativo(a)?
He estado pensando mucho.
¿En qué piensas?
Pienso en mi pensión.
No pienses tanto en eso. Bueno está bien que pienses en eso, pero no te acabes tanto la vida.
¿Has pensado en el futuro?
Yo vivo el presente. Por ejemplo, tengo pensado ir a Malasia. Mi amiga está ahí y dice que es muy bonito y que todo es barato y que la naturaleza es increíble. Si voy, te invito.
Ni pensarlo. No me interesa ir a Malasia. Prefiero ir a Oaxaca.
MMM bueno pues mejor piénsalo y me avisas.
Sí. Tienes razón. Pensándolo bien me gustaría conocer un país diferente. ¿Pero sabes una cosa? No tengo dinero. Si tuviera, lo haría sin pensar.

Immersion…..Yes, I totally agree that it’s very helpful and enjoyable when Ana explains the lesson or major parts of it in Spanish. Most of us have been following her enough to now desire to hear her…”mostly in Spanish.” She already does a very good job in her explanations.
I'm so glad I found you! 🥰. Please stay on YT. We need fabulous teachers like you!🖖🤗

puedo que ver que tienes una alma muy hermosa Ana. espero que te continues enseñarnos el idioma de los sudamericanos. Gracias
You are the best teacher I have seen since I left college . So dedicated to teaching everything you know ! Love you❤❤❤❤❤
I'm Irish. I can read Spanish at either higher intermediate, or lower advanced levels (depending on the circumstances). My ability to understand spoken Spanish is limited. It is not just the sheer speed at which Spanish is spoken. I also find that most Spanish speakers allow their voices/articulation to vary, making some words/phrases they say too quiet, to trail off or become truncated. I'll keep trying to improve at aural comprehension, but I honestly feel discouraged the majority of the time. Basically, a fluent Spanish speaker needs to think of a person from another country who is learning Spanish as a child. We speak clearly and more slowly to children.

I thoughtful person is someone nice. I think you are confusing it with a person in deep thought. Thanks for the lesson
I have so much joy ❤️ watching you 💓. You bring humour to your lessons it makes it enjoyable to learn day to day español thankyou gracias

You may be procrastinating learning Spanish but if you just click on her videos it's always entertaining and you learn in the process.
THE best spanish teacher
Don’t be so hard on yourself or don’t take life so seriously. Maybe it means that. You teach really well. If I didn’t get lazy to study Spanish then I might learn it. Thanks
16:00 I will make an effort to learn Spanish! 😁👍
Thank you for your skill and passion. I was adopted and raised as if I was German. DNA says very differently. I am trying very hard to learn my native language.
Ana: Thank you for all the lessons you've been doing for such a long time. Please continue to do the wonderful work your do for many years to come. You're a great teacher and your lessons add just enough detail to each point you make without getting stuck in linguistic mud. As a slow Spanish learner, I truly appreciate all your efforts.
Me gustan estas classes, porque yo apriendo ambas las línguas. Spanish and English
No! Don't stop teaching. You're the best Spanish teacher 🥰

You are an amazing teacher. Best video I've found yet
Ana, that was very creative in teaching the lesson. I really enjoy your sessions and your personality!!
Ana, thank you so much. I am so grateful for your lessons. I am Mexican & I was given up for adoption as a baby and never learned it. I avoided it in school (here in America) because I was bullied a lot for not knowing it. I am finally (at 34 yrs old) trying my best. I also found my Mexican family (after 30 yrs), & they don't want anything to do with me. I love your jokes, your happiness, your demeanor. Much love. ❤️❤️
Thank you 💕
Her joke about riding a bike in Mexico was hilarious.

I need this so much. I can read and write Spanish but I struggle to understand what Natives are saying because it’s so fast. 😩
I just started Spanish a month ago. Ana, thank you for bringing Spanish to life in your videos. I only found your videos a week ago and you helped renew my excitement to learn Spanish.
This was such a good video, as usual. Gracias! I will definitely use the phrase, "Te tengo en mi pensamiento". My Spanish friends will be blessed, thanks!
Please continue with your videos, your examples are awesome especially with your expressions. Learning Spanish from scratch is hard but you make it fun, exciting and encouraging. Hopefully we will meet you when you come to Madrid or whenever we return to Australia 🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful Ana, as always thank you for your video.
Awesome! As a native English speaker, we use the word 'thoughtful' a bit different. To us, it means that a person is considerate in their thoughts about another person and not themselves. As an example, when a husband gives his wife a gift of something that she needs or could use. He was considerate in thinking about what she needs instead of giving her something that wasn't useful. He was being thoughtful. That's the meaning of the expression "It's the thought that counts."
