Hola señor! So what kind of Spanish are you teaching? I don't know what spanish I'm studying whether it's Mexican or Spanish for example I've learned the word "me llamo" and then I've watched from other vlog "mi nombre" I'm confused. Gracias
@QrooSpanishСағат бұрын
The focus is on Latin American Spanish but I do mention European Spanish when there is a difference in terms of vocabulary or grammar. As far as saying your name, both me llamo and mi nombre es are used everywhere. It isjust a matter of personal choice.

Define “clean”. Every accent is an accent. There’s no such thing as a clean one, just ones that sound more familiar vs less familiar to the individual listening. People say the Chileno accent is difficult to understand but if someone only ever hears that accent then it’ll be the easiest one for them to comprehend.
@renatovelarde42213 сағат бұрын
I mean, South American Spanish (Ecuador, Bolivia) is a lot more “clean” sounding to some people, as in slower and more enunciated. But it won’t be as easy to pick things from just there to learn from. My Dad was from Bolivia and I’m trying to learn now (for the 100th time), but I’m trying to learn through Mexican teachers because thats more what I will encounter in the US and I think will set me up well enough to adapt afterwards.

Thank for another great video. Yes - grammar = the patterns. One of the benefits of learning a second language is that I had to go back and review my English Grammar! If for no other reason, but to make sure I had the terminology correct, e.g. “what is an indirect object? Oh yeah, that’s it.” Accent versus Dialect Your tip #9 - Focus on one country at a time. Speaking of terminology, I found it helpful to look up the difference between “accent” and “dialect.” I had it wrong! “Accent has to do with the sound of words. “Dialect” has to do with the choice of words. Sound of words, Choice of words. Examples: in the south, “oil” can sound like “all.” That’s accent. But “bless her heart” is not necessarily a compliment! That’s dialect. Another Example, “dog” might sond like “dawg” or “doeg,” in accent. But “it’s raining cats and dogs” is dialect, a choice of words a “saying” with meaning "between the lines," a “proverb.”

"Antes de que cante el gallo, debemos levantarnos para ir a trabajar" Why is the subjunctive only triggered in the dependent clause and not in the subordinate? Follow up question. Would "Nos deberíamos levantarnos" be correct if it didn't have a dependent clause attached?
@QrooSpanish16 сағат бұрын
Yes, but it would be more common to use the conditional when saying what should be done but with less obligation: deberíamos levantarnos. The subjunctive is only in the first clause because that is a construction (antes de que) that triggers the subjunctive in the verb following it.

This is not to insult your Spanish, but I would like to give some polite corrections for the future: 1a. There should be a comma between "gracias" and [name] in the first sentence like in English. 2a. "Ver" is one of those pesky irregulars in Spanish. "I saw" is actually "[yo] vi." Understandable. 2b. "Tú" with the accent is the subject pronoun "you." "Your" is supposed to be "tu" without the accent. 2c. "Channel" in Spanish is "canal." "Your channel" is "tu canal." 2d. "Por muchos meses" isn't exactly incorrect. However, whenever you say "for + [long timespan]" like "for many months" in English, it's better to translate "for" as "durante." "Durante muchos meses." "For [the duration of] many months. Not incorrect here, but it'll sound a little better if you use "durante" instead of "por." 3a. "I know I have" should be "[yo] sé que tengo" like "I know that I have." While we can omit "that" in this context in English, "que" is required in Spanish. 3b. This one can be a little tricky for beginners (I can relate). "Have to" in Spanish to express obligation is "tener que." "I have to learn" is "tengo que aprender." Another very understandable mistake. 3c. There should be a comma before "pero" like how we put a comma before "but" in English. 4a. "Llegado" is the past participle of "llegar." You traditionally use it with the irregular auxiliary verb "haber," meaning "to have + [past participle]." In Spain Spanish, you should say "[yo] he llegado" like "I've arrived/come." In Latin American Spanish, you should say "[yo] llegué ("u" is silent)" like "I arrived/came." 4b. In Spanish sentences, "ya" traditionally goes between the subject and verb. It should be something like "[yo] ya he llegado" or "[yo] ya llegué." Otherwise, keep up the good work. I hope these pointers will be useful to you in the future 🙏

Very useful to go over all these examples of application along with the grammar terms, thank you! And I am so glad you do go off on those little sidetrack tangents, which brings up a question: could you, perhaps, in one of your videos go over the differences in use of some really strange cases of pronomial/reflexive verbs like "comerSE" and "morirSE" (if you haven't already, that is), please dear maestro Paul? I do not understand why native speakers need to specify that someone eats or dies "for themselves." I mean, how else would you eat or die??
