Talking About the Future in Spanish: Using the Future Tense and IR to Express "Going to"

In this lesson I explain the forms and usage of the future tense in Spanish. I also explain how to use the Spanish equivalent of the "going to" form of future expression: IR + a + infinitive verb.

I'm always impressed when I listen to someone that not only knows the material, but also presents it in a way that is easily assimilated.

I've taken too many classes with educated (PhD, MD, or DDS) people whom simply don't have the gift of teaching.

Thanks for sharing.....

Thanks for this awesome lesson! As always, your lessons are so helpful. I had been confused previously as to when it would be appropriate to use the technical future tense versus the "ir a + inf." construction and you cleared it up for me. You're a fantastic teacher - so clear and you make it so easy to understand :)

I am teaching myself spanish because i cannot afford to go back to school or get a tutor and your lessons are helping me tremendously. Your easy manner and clear, consise and slower teaching method enables me to follow along without having to rewind and helps me to understand very well. Please do not stop teaching and thank you so much for having it in your heart to help people like me who otherwise would not have a living, breathing person to show us how it is done! Muchas Gracias Professor!

Muy útil, como siempre. De mi parte, me encantaba cuando usabas el pintarrón... ayuda a que vayas un poco más despacio, y resulta más espontaneo.

Te felicito por tu dedicación y habilidades pedagógicas. Ü

Fala! Gosto muito das suas explicacoes e as uso em minha sala de aula. However, I thought that "going to" expressed more certainty than "will."

I really enjoy your lessons. You explain everything very clearly. My only suggestion would be to speak slower.  Your delivery seems rushed.
