[lahjmiahj]

This video doesnt address WHY. Some folks know the rules, but want to know the WHY

[chiboy3000]

[chiboy3000]

4:03 (Ellos) Nos necesitan ahora.

Boy, I hope that I'm right....

[mopehure]

French sounds more romantic and better. No thanks!

[MissGreekrose]

i m so pleased that in few months i m going to start lessons in spanish!!!!!!!!!!

I adore this language so much <3 sounds so great

[MargeSimpson20]

Spanish is not as 'mysterious' as other Latin based languages,like Catalan or Romanian.But it does have a catchy sound to it.

[migbern68]

I don not why to learn Spanish you have to teach it in English, instead the English lesson are given in English. That is racism....jajaja...

[krankergizerbunny]

thank!

[chiboy3000]

@micheljr17 Good point.

[GuitarPunk95]

You're awesome. Thank you so much! My Spanish teacher is a Jamaican hag who hates the world and doesn't teach.

[AIRBORNEKMCQUITERY]

Esppero gue tengais un montonazo problems aprendiendo mi idioma!! lol

[nietsmmar2]

me is me?

[metal87power]

@nietsmmar2, no, it's YO. Me means "mnie", which doesn't exist in English, but in Polish or other language based on Latina, which has got terms to change nouns. For example: Kto? Co? Ja; Kogo? Czego? Mnie; Komu? Czemu? Mi etc.

[metal87power]

Yes, it is.

[HippieHunta]

british accent...... yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­

[MaBu888]

amare - amo amas amat amamus amatis amant

quaerere - quaero quaeris/as quaerat/quaerit quaeramus/quaerimus quaeritis/-atis quaerent/-ant.

[MaBu888]

It's interesting that there was a merger of te amo and te quiero.

In Latin te quaero meant I ask you. Te amo was Latin for both I love you, and I fall in love TO you, and also the verb for indicating a tendency. Amicus meus amat ludere - My friend loves to play. Also, since the word order in Latin was and is more flexible than the modern romance languages, I could say: Amicus amat meus ludere; meus amat amicus ludere; meus amicus ludere amat.

[anitta199]

ok, i have a question. what is the difference between American spanish and European spanish. is it the same as that between American and British english? is it just the accent or are there significant differences?

[afrolatinadamien]

@anitta199 OMG! i was about to ask the exact same question aha! ...I've being trying to learn Spanish for the past year now an I've also noticed significant differences between the dialects....i think it's just like American English and British English SAME language but different accents and ways of pronouncing certain words.....but personally I'm trying to learn the Spanish from Latin America because i wanna visit that part of the world :)

[NoirHeureux]

@anitta199 Well, mmm you can't talk about Spanish from Latin America, because there are a lot of accents here. But no it's not as in the U.K and the U.S.A. Actually, our orthography is the same, and maybe the phonetics changes a bit, because Spaniards say the "z" and the "c" sounds, as a english "th" in the word "thought". The rest is practically the accent, some expressions, and the speed. In fact I consider Argentinian Spanish less alike my accent (Colombian) than the Spaniards' accent.

[Lamismalapropia]

Yo opino que la frase "Te Amo" se usa cuando una pareja a penas está empezando una relación; especialmete en los adolescentes. Y... también cuando hay problemas de infidelidad, se usa "Te Amo" para convencer a la otra mitad de que el sentimiento es verdadero.

Y por supuesto, en las telenovelas escucharás esa frase repetidamente para darle un poco de drama al asunto.

Cambio y fuera.

[chromedreamz]

@SpainMallorca1 had to google beaner..no from the US live 1/2 in Costa rica...now go find something else to do...dirty spic

[chromedreamz]

@SpainMallorca1 unfortunately most spanish speakers are in the Americas...and it's a different dialect...i prefer teahers that just teach Latin America spanish...without that lisp sound on the c for example.....hice.....HiTHe...s­ounds funny

[iSPaLiTo]

@chromedreamz Ridiculous, in Spain we learn British English and I believe that in almost the whole Europe, why are they going to learn Spanish of latinoamérica in England or any Europa's part? If at least there was only one, but one does not speak equally in Mexico that either in Cuba or in Argentina, each one learns the language as he likes it

[rubulota555]

if you want to learn informal spanish go to Argentina

[thecollective10]

Great job, I understand more now ::)

[writeDVD]

Your breathing is very unnatural. Like from a BBC news anchor, sharp inhalations are audible and annoying to the ear.

[Bronsini]

I didnt even notice it until you mentioned it. Wasn't annoying at all for me.

[writeDVD]

I do notice it. Sometimes it drives me crazy when a radio anchor speaks. The inhalations can drive me to distraction. You won't hear the inhalations from a well trained speaker.

[thepolarden1]

BBC news anchor! lol

[XxAgAmAiVexX]

you have a very good pronunciation :)

Saludos desde Mexico

[realady81]

thanks alot ur amazing , god bless you actually its like learning arabic language :D

[Nida081]

i love spanish :=)

saludos desde turquia.....

[okokpaul]

thx u

that helped me some.

[aklars907]

la gente española aspira el ballox

[rainbowcheli]

quiero also means want

[spanishlanguagesite]

This is one of those situations where it depends where you come from. In Spain, both of these have the meaning 'I love you' although you could use 'te quiero' for your dog, or your Mum, but 'te amo' you can only use for your romantic significant other. Talking to some South American friends, there is more a feeling of 'I like you' with 'te quiero', but I can tell you that this is not the case in Spain!

My Spanish is learned in Spain. I am from London England,

[micheljr17]

i get what your saying, i was just stating that the direct transalation of

"i love you" would be Te Amo

i myself speak Spanish, "LatinSpanish"

and we do use te quiero as a form of

I love you, also you can say,

Te Quiero Mucho,

well greetings from California, USA

saludos desde los Estados Uniods, California

Jaime Michel

[deja4993]

when you say te quiero to loved ones it means i love you as well.

[Thrashgu]

@micheljr17 "Te amo" sounds really pompous and cloying."Te quiero" is enough

[serichejr]

@micheljr17 argentines and chileans dont pronounce the C and Z like spaniards asshole!!!

[nietsmmar2]

@serichejr or latin america in general^^

[serichejr]

@nietsmmar2 latin america in general dont pronounce the C and Z like people from spain and my country, im from equatorial guinea the only african country that speaks spanish, we kinda talk like people from spain cuz we got our independence from them on October 12 1968, i was raised in spain and now i live in the states....

[nietsmmar2]

@serichejr wow..... eso si es interesante..buen gusto en hlablar contigo en espagnol^^

[serichejr]

@nietsmmar2 igualmente amigo, asique diles a tus amigos que conoces a alguien del unico pais de africa que habla espanol y has hablado con el..de donde eres?

[nietsmmar2]

@serichejr HAHAHAH^^ es lo que estaba pensando... no es todo los dias que una persona de africa habla contigo en Espagnol.^^ como que hay una coneccion mas cercana cuando hablas una lengua nativa con otra persona.. p.s.I was born and raised here in the U.S. but my parents are from Mexico.. a que edad te viniste de Espagna para ka?

[serichejr]

@nietsmmar2 bueno en espana hay mucha immigracion africana asique no me extranaria ver a un africano que hable espanol, me fui a espana cuando tenia 2 meses un bebe, y me vine aqui a los 13, cuando hablo ingles dice la gente que tengo una mezcla entre hispano y africano lolz....tambien me preguntan porke soy negro y hablo espanol??????????

[nietsmmar2]

@serichejr orale ha^^ si estan informados han de pensear que eres un afro-latino del caribe o algo asi^^

[metal87power]

@serichejr, "me"? No "yo"? 

[serichejr]

@metal87power what are we talking about man..cuase im completly lost, im looking at the comments to see if i replied on one of your comments and cant find anything...

[oOMrMaticOo]

a mi también me llena de orgullo que mi idioma sea el de mayor internacionalidad después del ingles, como a la mayoria de hispanoablantes

[fede8472]

is long and slow practice for you my friends who speak english , i will help in something this teacher doesnt know . look : when we say "el" we say it with a typical accent can be "él" but only in the pronunciation , in the wrighting "él" is more advanced in some terms yo will learn , i will help you sometimes because i know the spanish (my first language) and i know the english (the second) buy to all of you : )

[Schery09]

at the spanish language you just have to look at the end of a noun.. if it ends with -a like: comida it's feminine la comida because of -a it has to be feminin if it ends with -o it's masculine.. like: fuego el fuego because of the -o it has to be masculine.. yes..there are some exceptions but not so much..and you can learn it with 1 hint: if a nound ends with -ma you have to watch out..like: idioma el idioma so it's masculine olthough -a =))

[fede8472]

no sabes nada

[lopilkderlll]

would to want and to love both be querer?

[micheljr17]

kind of.

to love is Amar, so to say i love you it's

te amo

te quiero is more of i like you

[superglue209]

i kinda get it..

[30andalusi70spaniard]

I wish you have a lot of problems learning my language, that is very difficult for you.

ajajajajajajaajjaj buajajajaja

Espero que tengais un montonazo de problemas aprendiendo mi idioma,jajajaja :) :) :)

[thom6998]

Thanks, I see you already have problems typing english and I would hate to hear how you speak. "I wish you have a lot of problems" that doesn't even make sense you idot.

[rnbrip]

spanish is the dumbest language and my family is from a spanish country so its wierd for me to think that but oh well

[MNY0713]

i love spanish. its awesome to learn.

[morgandrim]

What a very odd position to take, rnbrip. Why do you say Spanish is "the dumbest language..." Language is a utility to communicate. Naturally 500 000 000 would disagree with you. Now that`s a lot of people. And it would be a far more useful language to learn than, perhaps, German, or Italian, or even a language like Chinese. Fine - more people speak Chinese than any other language : But they are all in China. Spanish - like English - is spoken in many parts of the world.

[rnbrip]

ok i still think its a dumb language all that conjugating is stupid its useless

[tmgebomb]

a spanish country? there is only one spanish country haha. but anyway, all of the romance languages have tricky conjugations. spanish grammar is much more difficult than english grammar

[niceboy6666]

he is racist

[tmgebomb]

huh?

[ILoveRosie123]

I wish to disagree with you. I think the conjugations in Spanish are very useful. They allow you to omit the pronoun in the sentence. Also, conjugations make you think more deeply about what you want to say. This makes it so that what you say is more concise and articulate. Conjugation is far from stupid and usless.

[Tomie0101]

YAY - I get it!! finally!!

[colinkites3000]

Extremely clear and concise. Very well done. I've been trying to grasp this concept for awhile. This answers my questions. Thank you.

[Vardrox]

Gracias amigos!

That was explored really clearly, I'm impressed. I think that's the time to start learning Spanish. Vaya con dios ^^

[manzilalex]

hey friend could you help in learning spanisn...

[rendybullseye]

gracias..!!

i'm from indonesia and i'm interested in learning spanish

[jorge221090bb]

Te amo is for your girl/boyfriend or your wife/husband, Te quiero is for your family and friends. Te amo is a very strong phrase in Spanish, it suggests that you are in love with those person. Also you can't say "yo amo las hamburguesas"; to say you love something, you may use, "me encanta", for example "me encantan las hamburguesas", o "me encantan las rosas".

[blkgrl1]

Thank you for explaining this. This clears up when to use them. Is English the only language where all forms of "love" is covered in that one word?

[DoranP900]

Thank you for expalining it. I thinkk i'm getting it.

[serichejr]

@jorge221090bb muy bien, but you could also say me gusta....en vez de utilizar palabras tan fuertes....

[laquevilla]

el profesor tiene acento español?

[dianaa333]

lo q io digo es q hacemos nosotros los hispanohablantes viendo estas clasesitas sobre pronombres...jeje

[liquito6667]

jajajaja. es verdad tio pero nos sirve para recordar que hablamos un idioma, muy complicado en lo que se refiere a las conjugaciones jejeje, hablo ingles un poco y es muy facil de aprender ,pues nada si te interesa mi comentario responde adios

[lovendpeace]

thx teacher

[jorge221090bb]

In Latin America we don't use "os", we use "los" and "las".

[slsvid]

Hello Jorge, and thanks for your message. The course I teach is Castilian Spanish as spoken in Spain, but even there the rules on object pronouns are flaunted, depending on where in Spain you are. But would you understand me if I said 'os'?

[germanicus24]

Yes, we Latin Americans do understand it anyway, so it doesnt matter which version you learn or teach. Also Argentinians, Bolivians, Uruguayans, and some people from Central America have a different Second Person Singular, but its all understandable.

[shinyjewelsz]

no one cares.

[Tasarte]

Can be "le-les" too, in fact many times the only correct form as you know "les digo a ustedes" is correct, "los/las digo a ustedes" uncorrect.

[coggy123]

hey  this is very helpful! gracias

[muppit0104]

well presented. i need to do more of these exercises
