[SraStuck]

Me gusta el video como siempre. Is the digital link fading a bit? You posted in 2008. My computer is churning a bit to load it. I only have this problem with your older posts. My students' parents thank you, too. I have a "boxing" or "patty cake" drill I need to post to share...

[inglesirongbisaya]

gracias señor jordan.



[sonicxisforever]

VERY helpful! Thank you so much.

[TAMARAVELICKOVIC1987]

I play the guitar. You've missed the article. =D

[TheMaddytem]

is there a reason i can not embed your videos?

[tontitofrito]

@TheMaddytem

That's strange. You should be able to. I know there is a conflict with my wordpress site with the embed code on Youtube and I have to use a plugin... otherwise, I am not sure why you can't embed them.

[sunnyfx1]

I admire your zeal with which you teach spanish you have a simple and easy methodology .If you keep it up this way I will not have to look elsewhere for my spanish lessons.

[ElPerpuli]

Just for future reference when you speak on spanish dont need use all time Yo (I) because on these case of verbs for example the Yo (I) is present on the word that means instead "YO COCINO" with just a "COCINO" we understand you are cooking.

[NotAWarPerson]

Thank you so much from the Philippines! This has helped me a lot! Muchas gracias :)

[johnericsantiago28]

Dear Senor Jordan,

Thank you for taking the time & giving us all these free youtube lessons. This is so cool of you.

I have a spanish exam tomorrow and your lessons are saving my life!

Peace from London x

p.s. loving the t-shirts too!

[mjuy72]

ur a great teacher your video was very helpful.

[euraznbarbie]

GRACIAS!

[spanishlikecrazy]

Great job at showing how to conjugate AR verbs in Spanish

[brozmeister1]

Your videos have been so helpful to me but I am really confused with this. In a previous video you said when you are a girl you must change the ending e.g with R you add an A or change O to A. In this case would a girl say 'Yo nada?' as oppose to nado?

[tontitofrito]

@brozmeister1

Sorry for the confusion. That is not with verbs. It is with adjectives (description words) that end in -o normally... ex:

I am tall. - (yo) Soy alto.

She is tall - (ella) Es alta

The girl is thin - La chica es delgada.

The boy is thin - El chico es delgado.

Notice for 'alto' (tall) and 'delgado' (thin) we use 'alta' and 'delgada' when describing girls and females.

But with verbs, "nado" will mean "I swim" if I am a man, woman, girl, or boy.

[SuperYam2010]

Thank you for the lesson, it helps me a lot. Leaning to speak other languages is my favorite subject. Listening to Spanish conversations, it seems very fast to me (the way they talk) I don`t know whether...because Spanish has more words or sound to say (then English), or because I just don`t know the language ?

[tontitofrito]

@SuperYam2010

When one is learning any language, the native speakers sound like they're speaking fast. People I know who are learning English say the same thing about English speakers. ;-)

[BlueSharkBoy434]

Good video. Though I think it's suppose to be "Escucho a la musica" isn't it? (I'm working from european spanish here)

[tontitofrito]

@BlueSharkBoy434

No... from my understanding, "escucho" includes the idea of 'to' in Spanish. You might see some adding the 'a' but I would wonder if this is an influence from English.

I did Google it but the most common instance is 'a' is used as a personal 'a' or when personifying something:

Ex:

Los niños escuchan música.

Los niños escuchan a los papás. ('a' because their parents are people)

-Sr. J

[BlueSharkBoy434]

@tontitofrito Thanks. Yeah it might be an influence from English. Though my spanish teacher would disagree :D

[mamaniki1987]

i learned that in spanish you say el neccesito ( prob spelled wrong ) but here you said necesitar what is the difference .. im beginners spanish .. ( well mexican spanish )

[tontitofrito]

@mamaniki1987

generally on these verbs the 'r' on the end means 'to'

necesitar => to need él necesita - he needs él necesitó - he needed



[mamaniki1987]

@tontitofrito

okay thanks.

i find it confunsing that your told something different from other people lol .

[tontitofrito]

I have a video on 'necesitar' you might watch if you're a little confused still. ;-)

it's called: "01039 Spanish Lesson - Present Tense: Necesitar"

[mamaniki1987]

@tontitofrito lol im confused in generall im living in germany im in a relationship with a mexican american german (confusing i know ) .. he speaks all the languages i speak german and english .. i wante to suprise him by learning spanish but the more i hear the more confused i get about everything lol

[Itallrevolvesaroudme]

Dude!! This is the most helpful I've seen so for I love it :0 I know a lot of Spanish, enough to have a nice conversation BUT, I need help with conjunctions and these videos are the best.

[lalalaa31]

[vassviola]

[vassviola]

Have you, dear tontitofrio, already made videos also about the other kind of regular verbs? Or will you,... please? Your videos are superusefull because you are a superteacher. Thank you for these lessons!!! GRACIAS!

[lxgc2002]

I've watched twenty videos of yours in the past two days, and became a fan of this. I wish you were my teacher. Thanks for sharing. Gracias!

[Luigi2533]

Can you speak any other languages

[Lailani2000]

[karinrisa99]

[seattleseahawks11]

You know, I appreciate what you are doing. If there were more people like you in this world, it would be a better place to live...thank you

[BhaktinTerri]

I recently moved to Argentina knowing virtually no Spanish. Your videos have been really helpful. Of course Argentine Spanish is a little different but still, these videos help a lot. Muchas gracias.

[shenchensmile]

Thank you sooooooooooooooo much!!! these videos are really helpful!!!!

[safaja85]

Great video. Good Job Jordan! Best wishes, my angel:)

[MsACAndre]

¡Hola "Sr. Jordan"!

Me encantó tus videos, fue como verme delante de mis alumnos. Me gustaría pedir permiso para además de usar tus videos en mi clases, también ponerlos com un "link" en la página de web the mi salón de español.

Gracias en adelanto.

Alessandra Andre

[tontitofrito]

No se preocupe. Adelante.

[blokuk]

tienes una muy buena pronunciación, además de ser muy lindo.

[neandertalheroo]

you are a GREAT teacher!

[NeonMite]

First video I completly understood by you. ¡Gracias!

[toreyh4]

i learned this today in my spanish class in Gijon, España!

[Devourer09]

When would you capitalize words? I noticed you didn't capitalize espanol. Is it just at the beginning of sentences and the names of people and places... Lol.

[tontitofrito]

Sí , ¡muy bien!

most common:

1) beginning of sentences

2) names of people & places

[enlighten5]

thanks again!

[CruiseDavis]

i would also like to mention that another reason this helps is because i can understand you, my teacher can barely speak english. lol

[tontitofrito]

that could be difficult!

[CruiseDavis]

i am still using all your vids to cram, most of it is review but it is helping a ton!

A THOUSAND THANKS!!!!
