Lol, you have a mexican accent in spanish. And btw - in your other video you said that "of course" is "seguro" which is actually "sure" - in an offhand manner - of course is "claro" or "claro que si" - which is "clearly".

Thanks for your constructive comments. Yes, I do have a Mexican accent...I lived in Mexico, ...My friends are Mexican...My Spanish teacher was Mexican. Claro que tengo acento mexicano! jaja!

Lol, I'm a bit of a linguist myself, I'm half spanish and english and I live in Luxembourg and speak french and I learned a bit of thai in the 6 months I was there.

Why are you mostly in your car doing this? Kinda strange, but your video's are very helpful. Thanks.

Good question. The answer 1. I spend a lot of time in my car. 2. It's quiet and I don't get interrupted 3. I can have A/C or heater whenever I want. 4. I live in my car (Just kidding about the last one!)

Flashcards really are the best way to learn by yourself speaking from experiences.

I agree! HAHA HA!

Or my fed up wife will be asking me "how many times did I tell ya to quit sitting on that car filming those damn videos and mow that lawn for once and for all!!!??"

'n if I'd go like "uh...uno,dos,tres...cuatro?"

That would sound kind of weird,wouldn't it?hehehe!

(joke) hope it didn't offend! LOL
