De verdad no es tan difícil prueba un idioma como el irlandés o ruso idiomas como esos están llenos de gramática compleja y reglas raras el español es fácil en mi opinión para hablantes de inglés en unas cosas por ejemplo un hablante de inglés tal vez tenga dificultad en Los artículos el y la pero un hispano hablante tendría dificultades con las vocales del inglés y la ortografía.
DISCLAIMER: my Spanish is Mexican Spanish! Some consider it neutral, others don't. For Mexico it is relatively neutral. However it is quite a bit different from the Spanish they speak in Spain, or Argentina for example.
superholly actually spanish from a spanish city called Valladolid is considered the most neutral and correct spanish there is, enhorabuena por tu interes por el español!
Adrián Pérez yo soy de Madrid, y el español originariamente dice el sonido de la Z diferente a la S por lo que no se puede considerar el de México como neutro.
*English native speakers* are here because they want to improve their Spanish *Spanish native speakers* are here for two reasons: They want to improve their English or *they can't fall asleep*...
Entonces tú deberias de ir a la frontera entre México-Estados Unidos. Ahí conocerás a mucha gente que son hijos de padres mexicanos y que nacieron en E.U. y verás que hablan ambos idiomas como nativos. Son personas impresionantes.
Mi mamá es el mismo caso pq a los 4 años voló de Perú a Texas y se quedó ahí por 12 años y cuando volvió acá le costó acostumbrarse pero ahora suena gringa y latina, y teniendo un papá gringo tb le ayudó por tener familia allá
CORRECTIONS/DISCLAIMERS: 1. I learned Spanish in Mexico, so keep that in mind. I do not pronounce the C and Z like an english TH like they do in Spain. (Both are beautiful ways of speaking, I am just teaching the one I know). 2. (@4:21) CARRO is used to say car only in certain countries. COCHE or AUTO are widely accepted as well. 3. (@4:47) CORRO already conjugated. It means "I RUN” 4. (@4:49) CORO can mean CHOIR or CHORUS 5. (@10:25) ¿QUÉ HORAS SON? - apparently this is incorrect, although it is widely used (Like in the Manu Chau song "ME GUSTAS TU") 6. (@15:33) TENGO SUEÑO - a more accurate translation would be “I’M SLEEPY". I’M TIRED would be "ESTOY CANSADO”. 7. (@17:33) I messed up the subtitle at although I did pronounce it correctly. It should be "UN DÍA GRIS” THANK YOU GUYS! I’M DEFINITELY FAR FROM PERFECT BUT I HOPE YOU FIND THIS VIDEO HELPFUL!
You pronounce beautifully. As well as the different words used or the sounds for the C, Z, S don't you think there's also like a different 'melody' for the different accents? I don't know how to better describe it, it's like the ups and downs and stress in different parts of the phrase. In my homecity of Santander, in the north of Spain, it is said we 'sing' a lot when speaking.
Buenas! Enhorabuena por tu pronunciación. Solo quería aclarar que en ciertas zonas de España, concretamente en Andalucía, también se habla con la S y no se pronuncian las c y z como th. Por otra parte, "¿Qué horas es?" es correcto, como bien has dicho; mientras "¿qué horas son?" es incorrecto. Pero, "me gustas tú", es CORRECTO. Por ejemplo: "¿Quién te gusta?" => "Me gustas tú." Coche es lo más correcto cuando nos queremos referir a automóviles, porque Carro es más bien para referirse a un carruaje antiguo, o un transporte de arrastre. Es muy normal que en América se utilicen palabras de la época de la colonización y las hayan seguido utiizando hasta la época. Un abrazo!!!!!
Es increíble como tienes a tantas personas de habla hispana viendo tu video completo asombradas por tu excelente pronunciación. Es normal que varios van a opinar por pequeños detalles como palabras que se usan en unos países de una forma y en otros de otra pero no se puede enseñar un español perfectamente neutral para todo el mundo. Mis felicitaciones como mexicano :)
I'm mexican. I have never heard such perfect spanish from a native english speaker. Congratulations. Your explanations are simple and clear, your video is excellent.
Hi, if someone need this. I'm from Spain and I can teach you Spanish easily thanks to my teaching method and knowledge of my native language (EU Spain) We can learn perfect Spanish and you can talk with me in English for any question you need. I'm an advance English student, this is perfect for understand you and improve my English even more. SuperHolly inspired me a lot and here I am today. I'm a Spanish teacher with advanced English level Cambridge C1 thanks and DM me. You can learn we can do it.
This actually happens for a lot of things in a lot of languajes xDD. for example some video games trailers in japanese have way more comments in english than in japanese since the games will eventually be localized for america and they can't wait.
@@obayrafi2632 cause laught sounds to us more like it has "J" than "H" . "Hahaha" is still fine but it sounds more dry and it could be more used in a sarcastic ironic way.
I have been introduced to you by a Guatemalan lady who has just begun teaching me Spanish. My 64 year old brain is slowly approaching the new concepts that you’re talking about in this video. One thing that is helping me so far is watching Spanish movies and listening to Spanish songs that I already know in English. All that to simply say thank you for your encouragement and your help.
No suelo comentar cuando veo un vídeo pero tengo que expresar la admiración que te tengo por esforzarte tanto al hacer 1 mismo vídeo en los 2 idiomas. Eres una de las pocas youtubers que vale la pena estar suscrito porque tus videos no son los típicos vídeos que te encuentras en está plataforma a parte estas dando tips buenísimos para impulsar a tus suscriptores a aprender un nuevo idioma. Y ni hablar del tiempo que me imagino que tardas en grabar cada vídeo para que queden así de bien, llegarás lejos si sigues así Holly tenlo por seguro.
¡Gracias por apreciarlo, Lizbeth! Y para todos los que quieren practicar cualquiera de los dos idiomas, busquen uno de mis videos y véanlo en ambos 😊 Muchos saludos...
+Lizbeth hay youtuberos que hacen videos para niñantos menores y luego hay otros como superholly que hacen videos para personas que se aburren con esas mierdas
Los mejores tips para los gringos a los que todavía les falta pronunciar bien una palabras. Un buen vídeo sería "SuperHolly my ayuda neutralizar mi acento"
2:10 "If you can master these 5 [vowel] sounds, you are well on your way to sounding like a native [Spanish] speaker. lol now I know why it's pretty easy to pronounce Spanish words as a Filipino. We actually have the same vowels and vowel sounds in Filipino language. Too bad that the Spanish language died in the Philippines long ago after we gained our independence from Spain. It would be interesting if we can still speak the language fluently as a lot of Filipino words that we use everyday are actually Spanish loanwords.
Did Spanish in school for 3 years. Did not understand anything. You explain everything more elaborately and precisely I fell in love with your method of teaching! Spanish is definitely gonna be my 3rd language. :)
+Money Jordan I totally disagree with you. It sounds so perfect. When I started watching her videos I was so confused. I was like, "she does not look Mexican but she sounds like one."
I speak spanish, and when I was a kid I had problems to say the "R" , so my parents told me: "Say this, and you will learn to pronunce the R, " Erre con erre cigarro, erre con erre barril, rápido corren los carros en el ferrocarril " I hope this helps anyone :3
como muchos de por aquí, me metí a ver tu vídeo Holly, por curiosidad, no tanto para escuchar tu acento en mi idioma, sino, más bien para ver si entendía una explicación tan detallada en inglés, y mira las cosas de la vida..... no pensé que te fuera a entender del todo, pero la que se llevó la sorpresa fui yo. Muchas felicidades por ser de las pocas personas Estadounidenses en expresarse tan hermosamente de mi país (tuyo también güerita) Un abrazo. :D
wilson alonso giraldo quitian oh yes I know that, specially if you have so many years learning it, as me. But, always is important ti know how to heard and understand it, and many times is dificult to someone of native Spanish languange to belive in our own knowdlegde. PD. no sé si mejor español que alguien de España, puesto que no soy de España. jejeje pero muchas gracias.
MrCubanoblast ¿Ahora resulta que los patos le tiran a las escopetas? For your information, sweetie, I'm native spanish speaker. But it's okay if you don't understand me at all. No everybody can handle with this amazing languange, it needs a lot of neurons :* PD. I'm not used to be rude, but you were first. :(
When I was working in Mighigan state, I said to an american friend, that 'r' in the middle of the words, is pronunced similar to this. Say lettuce (In spanish we would write "leres") now, say it with out "L", ettuce (eres) Eres means you are. That sound is very similar to our real 'r' in spanish. So, he had to forget the english "r" at all.
De hecho, en cierta parte esa es la dificultad del español a los que hablan inglés, mientras que su conjugación se basa en poner las palabras sin tocarlas, en español tienes que fragmentarla para cada género de la palabra y para cada tiempo y el propio ser y estar. Y hay idiomas más "específicos". Igual, la facilidad es que el idioma es fonético, no hay que preocuparse por como suenan ciertas conjunciones de letras como en el inglés (los estoy viendo though, tough, thought, trought, thorough), si una "A" suena como "A" en español, jamás cambiará. Lo que probablemente más los atormente serían las tildes y la contraparte though, tough, thought, trought, thorough; el "porque", "porqué", "por que" y "por qué" al escribir, pero ni los latinos en su mayoría sabe las diferencias de ello.
El español no es tan específico, el ser o estar es lo básico del español, entender la diferencia es primordial pero si le añadimos su conjugación en todos los tiempos, ahí viene la dificultad para ellos. Pero eso no significa que sea específico, algunas veces no tiene sentido.
Isabella Para un americano no es difícil, ahí tienes a los millones de americanos mexicanos que lo dominan, a millones de colombianos, argentinos, chilenos, etc. Prácticamente toda Latinoamérica.
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA. Lo mismo pensé, pero... Yo estoy buscando de inglés y pensé que era muy difícil! Y ahora... Con éste video me doy cuenta que el español es mucho más difícil para ellos 😢
I am a university student in Mexico and I am looking for a friend to practice my English and I can help you with your Spanish :) Please reply that I would like to know more about the language because by not practicing it it is complicated for me
I do exactly the same thing, I use to learn french through english so I can improve both lenguages mais je ne connais pas beaucoup de français ;) I'm spanish native speaker.
Soy española, filóloga hispánica y profesora de lengua castellana, y al ver el título de este vídeo sentí curiosidad y ¡vaya! Me ha encantado. Sobre todo la parte fonética, de colocación de la lengua para determinados sonidos, etc. Es genial saber que hay americanos tan interesados en el español, tanto el mexicano, como el cubano, el europeo, ¡el que sea! Me alegro muchísimo. Espero ver más vídeos así. ¡Un saludo!
es lo bonito del español, que si esta regulado y si tiene buena logica tanto el sonido como las reglas. en ingles esta difícil con la cantidad de homofonos que hay. leave, live, lives, leaves. beach y bi@*$h (es una mala palabra). no se como no se confunden con tanto homofono
I'm a professor that has brought my kids to Mexico (Guadalajara) and the three of them will be leaping into school and having to learn Spanish. I've been sharing some of your videos with them and they have found your comments and experiences helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Holly. One really good point that you made is, listen to the mistakes that Spanish speakers make in English - they are clues to speaking Spanish. Just last week I heard someone say something like "He drives the car red." I've even heard "the cars reds." That absolutely tells you something about the patterns in Spanish.
I’m an American and my dad’s from Mexico, and my moms from Spain but since I’m American and my dad’s a VERY proud American he didn’t want us to speak Spanish because he said we only speak English in the US and because my moms English wasn’t to good she would speak to me in Spanish, and I would respond in English so I never learned it. Now that I’m 23 and have grown up a bit, I’ve realized how much of a benefit is to know a second, even a third language in your personal and professional life. You’ve helped me A LOT. I’m pretty proficient in Spanish now because of you, so now I’m learning French as well. Merci infiniment! 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇪🇸🇫🇷
Sergio Alcantar glad you realized about this. Unfortunately this is a pretty common mistake that first generation parents make. As a result we have all these people destroying the language and passing it to future generations.
The reason English speakers say yo too often, is that this is the way we have been taught in US schools. Now, as I am trying to learn Spanish, I am struggling to unlearn saying yo yo yo all the time. I love your videos. Thank you for making them, especially the ones that help us learn Spanish.
Yo means ME or I in Spanish, and I found that Hilarious to listen too many English speakers using a word that they have no idea what it means. Dumb asses.
You are a lot more helpful than my teacher for native speakers in high school 🙄 he was so off topic .l love listening to you because i feel like my spanish gets better every time i listen to you. Thanks 😉
I just discovered your videos today and I love them. I am an American living and working in Spain. I teach English and would love to perfect my Spanish. I find your videos not only usfull for me but also my students. Great job!
Yo hablo español desde que nací y nunca supe que la palabra "radio" estaba abreviada y que la palabra original era "radiofonía". Yo quedé en shock en ese momento. JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
Se llama radio porque su funcionamiento se basa en al recepción de ondas/rayos electromagnéticos.RADIUS, en latín, significa 'rayo de luz', del que se tomó la palabra 'rayo'. En realidad, se usa radio como un apócope de 'radiorreceptor'. radiofonía, radiofónico, radiofonosita, radiómetro, radiólogo, radiofrecuencia, radioyente... Todas son compuesots de la palabra radio.
@@Maqueronte524 No, se llama radioreceptor o receptor de radio. Decimos radio para abreviar, de la misma manera que decimos tele y no televisión o televisor, bici y no bicicleta, boli y no bolígrafo...
De hecho, es más fácil aprender inglés para las personas que hablan español porque no conjugan el verbo dependiendo de la persona sólo conjugan verbos en pasado y presente para todas las personas iguales (yo tu el nosotros vosotros y ellos) en cambio cuando ellos aprenden español deben aprender una forma nueva de conjugar a la que no están acostumbrados jaja
Holly, I am a Spanish teacher and I really love your videos, not only I get to perfect my English but they also help my students with their Spanish in a fun way. You rock!
11:10, I want to continue this by adding some stuff... There is something i noticed about the verbs "Ser" & "Estar": {I will be using masculine forms in spanish, 'cause they are more general. As well as i will be using the conjugations: "Soy" as the "Me/I" form of "Ser" & "Estoy" as the "Me/I" form of "Estar".} Ok, so, there is a pattern(I guess). 🔷️When we are using "Estar", we often use "At/In/On" which translates to "En" (we use them after "Be") >Example: -I *am in* my room/ *Estoy en* mi cuarto -I *am at* the park/ *Estoy en* el parque -I *am on* tv/ *Estoy en* la tv ♦️So far I don't find ANY exceptions to this. If i see any i will add it, or if you are a native spanish speaker and you find an exception, i will be thanked with you if you comment it, i will gladly add it ^-^. 🔸️The thing you need to focus on is "En", if we take it out, they will be "Ser" and the sentences would mean different things. >Example: -I *am* my room/ *Soy* mi cuarto -I *am* the park/ *Soy* el parque -I *am* tv/ *Soy* tv 🔷️When you are using "A" after "Be", then you are probably using "Ser" >Example: -I *am a* student/ *Soy un* estudiante -I *am a* human being/ *Soy un* ser humano -I *am a* big brother/ *Soy un* hermano mayor Ok, so this is basically due to the way we use it in spanish, as you can see, every one of the examples i put, in the spanish version comes with "un" which is the translation to "a". 🔸️WE DON'T USE "UN" IN FRONT OF THE VERB "ESTAR" *EXCEPT* When we use "little/ little bit" which is translated as "poco/ poquito" >Example: -I *am a* _little bit_ mad/ *Estoy un* _poquito_ enojado -I *am a* _little_ far/ *Estoy un* _poco_ lejos -I *am a* _little bit_ wrong/ *Estoy un* _poquito_ equivocado 🔸️We could also use the verb "Ser" in those, but they would be a little bit diferent: >Example: -I *am a* _little bit_ mad/ *Soy un* _poquito_ enojon -I *am a* _little_ far/ *Soy un* _poco_ lejano -I *am a* _little bit_ wrong/ *Soy un* _poquito_ equivocadizo 🔸️What's the difference? Well... -I *am a* _little_ far/ *Estoy un* _poco_ lejos (fisicaly are far) -I *am a* _little_ far/ *Soy un* _poco_ lejano (mind is not there/ distant actitude) -I *am a* _little bit_ wrong/ *Estoy un* _poquito_ equivocado(a mistake) -I *am a* _little bit_ wrong/ *Soy un* _poquito_ equivocadizo (tends to make mistakes often) 》I actually dare you to try that: -Put:"Soy un poquito equivocadizo" or "Soy un poco lejano" in the translator. -You will get:-"I am a little bit wrong" or "I am a little far". -Then put:"I am a little bit wrong" or "I am a little far" in the translator. -You will get:"Estoy un poquito equivocado" or "Estoy un poco lejos". 》That's because we often use "Estoy" in those, but "Soy" its also correct. ♦️So far, i've only see this exceptions, if i see more i will add them, or if you are a native spanish speaker and you find more exceptions you want me to add, i will gladly add them ^-^. 🔷️As you can see, "Ser" & "Estar" are very different, i hope i helped you more to identify which is which :3
II'm a native Spanish speaker. I read your entire comment and I agree. I just would like to add something. In the example that you give "I am a little far/Soy un poco lejano"; I believe a better translation to Spanish could be "Soy un poco distante" if you want to express "Distant attitude". You know? I tried to make a short and easy summary to use «Ser» and «Estar», but I couldn't. Lol. I had not realized how difficult it is if you do not use it in your day to day. Sorry. I hope you can enhance your Spanish level. it's tough but it's very nice and pretty. :3 Greetings from Mexico.
Estimada Pilar, el verbo "ser" se utiliza al describir la "esencia" de las cosas. Una puerta puede "estar" cerrada o abierta. Una persona puede "estar" vestida, semidesnuda o desnuda, una sopa puede "estar" caliente o fría, mi primo puede "estar" peinado o despeinado. "Estar" cerrado, abierto, vestido, desnudo, caliente, frío, peinado o despeinado son coyunturas circunstanciales no esenciales. Si mi primo "es" calvo esencialmente no puede tener pelo. Si una persona "es" simpática quiere decir que en su forma de "SER", en su esencia la simpatía "está" impregnada. Si no "está" impregnada en su forma de "SER" no "es" simpática. ( Por supuesto, la simpatía como la belleza "es" opinable, otro individuo puede pensar que esa persona "es" antipática) Sin embargo te pueden preguntar ¿Cómo "estuvo" tu amigo el otro día?. ¿"Estuvo" simpático o "estuvo" antipático? Tu amigo "es" una persona simpática pero ese día "estaba" enojado y "estuvo" antipático. La hierba "es" verde, puede "estar" segada o no "estarlo". Las rosas pueden "estar" abiertas o cerradas, eso no las define pero tienen su color característico, son "blancas" o "son "rojas"...etc. Su color "es" parte de su esencia . "Son" las 2 porque el idioma español "es" anterior a Einstein y el tiempo no era relativo sino esencial y a las 2 no podían "ser" las 3. Entiendo que el tema "es" complicado y lo "estoy" complicando. Mi enfoque puede "ser" erroneo y hacer que yo "esté" equivocado, pero recuerde, la clave "es y está" en la "ESENCIA" y como bien explica Superholly la esencia tiende a "ser" permanente (aunque todo cambia con el tiempo) y la existencia suele "ser" breve y circunstancial . SER son palabras mayores. ESTAR no lo son. Y para muestra un botón : " TO BE OR NOT TO BE " "SER o no SER" "That is the question."
@@sergiorodrguezprez4834 JAJAJAJAJAJAJA, WEY SABES QUE ME DA RISA? TAMBIEN SOY DE MÉXICO 😂😂😂 La cosa es que llevo en escuelas bilingües desde el kinder, por lo que mi nivel de ingles es relativamente bastante alto. Y el hecho de que me hayas dicho lo de "mejorar" mi nivel de español, solo me hace sentir más orgullosa todavía acerca de mi nivel de ingles. Saludos desde Cancún ;)
@@angelgarcia-yz1yy Me pareció bastante interesante tu forma de plantear la diferencia. Mi objetivo era tratar de explicar como _identificar_ cuando se tiene que usar cual, con ejemplos y traducciones. Como una persona que lleva aprendiendo 3 idiomas desde hace años, me parece que lo más practico es mostrar cuando se ocupan, y tratar de explicar sus diferencias, y al menos a mi, me funciona bastante cuando las maestras muestran 1 o más ejemplos en los que se usa, de esa forma se me hace todavía más facil el aprender lo que están enseñando. Y más que solo aprenderlo, se me hace más facil ponerlo en práctica. Y algo que yo aprecio mucho, es cuando nos dicen las reglas gramaticales. Así como nos enseñaron de pequeños, que si una palabra termina en "cion", automáticamente lleva acento en la "o". Ese tipo de reglas son las que me gusta repasar, si las memorizas y logras ponerlas en práctica, es más facil manejar el idioma. Solamente aclaro, todo esto lo digo por mi propia experiencia, no digo que todos sean como yo, pero me gusta dar mis tips, y si le sirven a alguien, que bueno :D
Thanks for a very concise explanation of Spanish pronunciation. I'm learning Spanish as a third language & have had trouble trilling the 'r'. What helped me overcome this was reading aloud from children's stories. Many are written in Spanish to help los ninos learn to make the linguistic sounds of Spanish for themselves -- so trilling the 'rr' is a LEARNED behavior, not something which magically occurs among Spanish speakers. Another observation: sometimes not pronouncing other Spanish sounds correctly in a word or phrase can sabotage one's ability to successfully trill the 'r'.
Pronuncias tan bien el inglés!! (Ya sé que eres Estadounidense, pero hay personas de ahí que hablan tan rápido que no se le entiende nada) Entendí todo el vídeo y eso que estoy aprendiendo inglés, sos una genia Holly! Una de mis youtubers favoritas, sin dudarlo!!
Juandiego Calero Hay miles, por no decir millones, que hablan español perfecto sin ser nativos 😂. Con otros idomas pasa lo mismo, ya sea en mayor o menor medida
Hey, I'm a Venezuelan guy living in Australia. I don't know why I started to watch this video but, I loved it. I have some friends over here learning Spanish and they always keep asking me things that I don't know how to respond, however you almost responded yo all of them. thank you for taking the time to do this.
This was outstanding! You went over the true most common mistakes and loved that you started with the vowels! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am so glad I found your channel and I loved and have enjoyed hearing about your life growing up in Mexico. You truly were super blessed to have been raised in both countries. Your Spanish is better than mine and I am Mexican! Hehe.
I am a Spanish Dual immersion teacher for English speaking kids in Los Ángeles. So I teach them all the subjects in Spanish. You literally described every single one of my students’ biggest problems when speaking Spanish. The word “yo” is one of my biggest pet peeves. I’m so close to banning that word from my class, lol. Also the ser vs. estar. I love how you explained it. I’m gonna do a whole lesson on this. It’s hard for me to understand sometimes why they make some mistakes because I’m a native Spanish speaker, but just as we make mistakes in English due to our Spanish fluency, they make mistakes that show they are thinking in English. By the way, you would be an amazing dual immersion teacher. Thanks for these tips.
Can you help me figure out why they always says “ella SE dijo que es mi amiga”. Why the heck do they use SE instead of ME. I don’t get it. It helps to understand the why do I can teach my students why they’re most likely making that common mistake. Another common mistake is “puedo lavarme mis manos”? Voy a mi casa abuelaS casa. (This one I get the reason )
Ana T todos esos errores son cometidos porque piensan en inglés y lo traducen a nuestra lengua,lo mismo pasa en el caso contrario..... sólo necesitan ensayar mucho más
*ella SE dijo que es mi amiga*: aquí "ella" es el sujeto que puede ser obviado, mientras que agregan "se" quizá para tratar de especificar a quien se realiza la acción en el predicado, aunque en este caso no sería necesario porque no se le dijo a nadie en específico. *Puedo lavarME MIS manos*: aquí, el sujeto "yo" está correctamente obviado, pero el pronombre que indica a quien se realiza la acción en el predicado está redundado, es decir, se están utilizando dos pronombres consecutivamente para complementar el predicado, en este caso, especificar de quién son las manos. en "lavarme", se indica de quién son las manos (pronombre objetivo me), por lo que es innecesario utilizar luego el pronombre posesivo "mis". Ambos pronombres se pueden utilizar de forma correcta pero nunca al mismo tiempo, ejemplo: "Puedo lavarme las manos?" - pronombre objetivo -me "Puedo lavar mis manos?" - pronombre posesivo "mis"

Holly. Can you make more English videos for those who want to learn Spanish? I love this video and your style of teaching. I'm American trying to learn Spanish.
Hi! So I know zero Spanish and stumbled across this video because I'm curious to learn and I just want to say this video was amazing! Please Please Please do more videos like this! It was fun, interactive, and engaging. Im probably going to watch this a thousand more times because its that good! 👍
+6 Toon awwwwww this is encouraging! I am thinking of doing a language-learning series in the future, it's just so difficult to plan! Anyway, so glad you enjoyed my video 😉
Same here - you're approach to teaching is great. I took high school Spanish and already know a lot of the grammar. Now that I am living in Northern Baja I am trying to improve my Spanish. I can read and understand a lot from TV subtitles but Mexicans still have a hard time understanding me because of the WAY I speak my vowels and consonants. I thought the Spanish would just come more naturally to me just by being immersed in it but it is a much slower process. I think it takes more detailed practice for a lot of English speaker to learn how to pronounce the trilled "r" in Spanish. There are some dedicated youtube videos for the trilled r. I am that difficulty anyway. Lots of other people can get to the correct r more easily. "Pero" vs. "Perro" is a biggie. Mexicans must be SO used to Americans referring to those animals as "but" ( s ). ( tee hee ). Also I get nervous referring to a female canine as "una perra" since I'm afraid I might use it the wrong way and it might sound like I'm using the b word. My dog is female. I mention this because there are lots and lots of dogs in Mexico. People kept telling me "no suelta" which means I should NOT let my dog off the leash but I didn't understand at first. Also when I learned the word I was saying "no suelto" and some guy corrected me. Of course living here you pick up the words and expressions that fit the different situations you run up against. I found myself speaking some Spanish without thinking about it at the gas station because you go there so frequently. I have so much more empathy for Spanish speaking Mexicans while they are in the US and trying to remember the English word for something. I KNOW that feeling now. Thank you SO much for your videos. Even though the comments are in Spanish those speakers have a lot to add depending where they come from. Spanish is tricky because different countries can have very different words for the same thing. That is practically a subject all by itself and then you get into regional and national idioms and the nuances.
I already am a native Spanish and English speaker I don't know why I'm watching but you're pronouncing every thing good😊 saludos desde el norte de California
Crybaby Hey can you answer something for me? How can I know when do you use "on" and "in" in English? I'm learning and I really don't understand that thing. Thanks :D
Pablo C it has many uses. *When referring to objects: You use IN to tell when an object is inside another one. For example: The car is IN the garage, or You can borrow my notebook, is IN my backpack. On the other hand, you use ON to refer to objects that are above a surface. For example: I saw your cellphone ON the table, or I left my backpack ON the couch. *When you are talking about events: You use IN when you speak in a general way. For example: I was born IN 1990. In this sentence I give you information about my year of birth, but not the exact day or month. The opposite happens when you use ON. You have to be very specific. For example: My birthday is ON January, 1st. You also use ON when you refer to months alone or days of the week, because is a way of being "specific". There are a lot more uses, but it will be a very long post if I continue explaining. I hope this will help you understand anyway :)
Me encontré con esta joya de vídeo de Miss Holly de hace 3 años. Actualmente estoy aprendiendo Ingles, y la verdad, me cuesta mucho trabajo escucharlo. Así que vine aquí para intentarlo y wwoooww! Eres super recomendable para alguien que quiere practicar más en su LISTENING. Entendí la mayoría de lo que dijiste ! Eres excelente !!
superholly You have a beautiful accent in my mother tongue. I wish to congratulate you on the video, cheers form Mexico City. I'm immediately subscribing to your channel. I'm from Mexico City, and I teach English btw. Could I trouble you sometimes for tips to become a better teacher? Thanks a lot and, again congrats are in order for this amazing video. Hope to hear from you soon
superholly idea about why is La Puente, some nouns have changed gender through the centuries. For instance, today we say 'el fantasma' but around the 17th century they used to say 'la fantasma' (which makes more sense, btw). Don't know if that's actually the case, but it would be a simple explanation :)
Hi why do i love pete wentz so much I need to talk with someone in English and I speak Spanish so we can help one each other, I wait your answer, bye...
Sophiita 1 Eso es porque te concentraste en lo que estabas escuchando y pusiste todo de tu parte para entender. Esa es la forma correcta de aprender idiomas. PD: No le hagas caso al tarado de arriba, él necesita iniciar una discusión
Thanks for posting this. I recently got married in Colombia and will be living there next year. I am trying to make my Spanish as good as possible. This is a great lesson.
Lues Times Lues Times you're right but, there're no problems understanding Spanish between Colombia and Mexico (I'm Salvadoran btw), he will be living in Colombia so he will get used to the different words they use to name something example Salvadoran says camiseta (shirt) Mexican says Playera, Maybe Colombian say camisa or remera (I don't know) the point is that he will get used to those words 'cos he will hear the words Colombian use to name things using none standard words
This great, Holly! I love how you gave examples on the differences between English and Spanish. I wanted to learn Spanish because I wanted to read Jose Rizal’s Mi Ultimo Adios in its original language. They say a whole new culture opens up once you learn a new language, and I can’t wait for that to happen!
I don't even know why I'm watching this video since I speak Brazilian Portuguese and already have learned Spanish but her videos are so nice to watch ♡
erica halter Well, Spanish always had influence in Brazilian culture since we share the same continent, but we're the only ones who don't speak Spanish. Since Portuguese comes from Latin as well, there is a lot that I learned while growing up. Officially I took 2 years of Spanish but with knowledge along the years, you know? But if you dedicate to the language, you can do it! I studied English for about 5 years and a half but before that I could understand and speak well too. So it depends on how much time you make yourself learn it :)
Still how you move and think effortlessly between the two languages..great job! You're an inspiration to us all. Stay safe and well. Muchisimas gracias. Besos y abrazos. Xx
All Golden advice but I think the advice about “finding the resting sound/mouth position” of the language is the smartest and most useful advice I’ve received. Thank you so much!!
Supongo que eres bilingüe de nacimiento. Aún así tiene mucho mérito lo que haces. Como comparas y analizas ambas lenguas. Se ve que te gusta, q lo amas. Muchas gracias.
This way to learn Spanish. The college classrooms were hum-drum but the way Holly teaches in invigorating and habit forming. Sorry to say that having lived on or near to the border 40 years I still cannot speak fluently much less understand normal conversation. Muchas Gracias Senorita Holly!
Every now and then YT suggests a video that's worthwhile and this is definitely one of them. I'm not quite halfway through but I liked and subscribed. I'm a new expat living in South America. I want to sound like a native but not with the accent I hear daily, which is the equivalent of a southern twang in the States. You sound amazing and with more practice I hope to as well! A neighbor recently said I don't sound like a gringo anymore so I guess I'm getting there slowly but surely.
I just wanted to thank you for this great brief summary of the Spanish language. I will use this video with my students as an introduction ( or possibly a summary of what we have already learned) for Spanish 1. Keep up the good work! ¡Me encantó tu presentación! David
I am currently learning Spanish prior to moving to South America late 2021. I also watch your learning English videos as well. I really appreciate how much content your have! Thanks, it's always a big boost!
I'm Italian, I learned English at school and I became fluent in Spanish from level 0 just living in Spain for 6 months, I cannot even imagine how long would it take to learn a language with yt videos
Imagine how hard was to learn a language when Internet didn't even exist! I'm spanish and it took me 12 years to fully learn English to the point where I was fluent... and I never went abroad!
(I'm a spaniard) I shared flat with italians a month. At first i didnt catch almost anything, but only in 3 weeks I started to understand the topic about they were talking. In a month i could understand they perfectly if they didnt use a lot of expressions. Now i consume some content (depending how clear the sound is) in that language and in three-four months i can watch movies. I think our languages are very closed and they look very similar in pronunciation, I'm sure it wouldn't be like this if that language were russian or farsi or whatever.
No that long, It took me 1 year to learn english by myself, as I got plenty time I got started on it, searching data, watching videos of any kind and translating word I found every time it appeard, hence I didn't need any help of teachers, institutions or stuff but me, Greeting!
I was looking for a video in which I can listen to spoken Spanish because I have to do presentation in Spanish at the university later and I'm super unconfident when it comes to the speaking (especially in front of the class). And thank god, I found your channel! You really reminded me of how Spanish is pronounced and I really think I'm less nervous right now. so thank you! By the way, I am German and I really liked your German-resting-tongue-noise haha
I am a native spanish speaker and I can say that her accent is amazing, this is the best american spanish speaker that i've ever heard. She is pretty neutral, doesn't sound spanish or latina. Shes genuinely NEUTRAL. If you wish to learn spanish, she sounds like the right person. Good luck!!!
Melanie It's México, and who cares where it's at, the accent is Mexican, so she sounds Mexican. Not Latino. You use Latino in your language, and it's badly used, we don't use it. It's like I said, you sound English. Besides, not all countries in Latin America speak Spanish, let alone sound the same.

De verdad no es tan difícil prueba un idioma como el irlandés o ruso idiomas como esos están llenos de gramática compleja y reglas raras el español es fácil en mi opinión para hablantes de inglés en unas cosas por ejemplo un hablante de inglés tal vez tenga dificultad en Los artículos el y la pero un hispano hablante tendría dificultades con las vocales del inglés y la ortografía.

DISCLAIMER: my Spanish is Mexican Spanish! Some consider it neutral, others don't. For Mexico it is relatively neutral. However it is quite a bit different from the Spanish they speak in Spain, or Argentina for example.
superholly I'm native spanish and your pronunciation is totally awesome.
superholly actually spanish from a spanish city called Valladolid is considered the most neutral and correct spanish there is, enhorabuena por tu interes por el español!
I live in Burgos, which is 1 hour by car from Valladolid :)
Adrián Pérez yo soy de Madrid, y el español originariamente dice el sonido de la Z diferente a la S por lo que no se puede considerar el de México como neutro.
Sí, ya lo he leído. Pero aún así pronuncia bastante bien. Mejor que la mitad del país jajaj

CORRECTIONS/DISCLAIMERS:
1. I learned Spanish in Mexico, so keep that in mind. I do not pronounce the C and Z like an english TH like they do in Spain. (Both are beautiful ways of speaking, I am just teaching the one I know).
2. (@4:21) CARRO is used to say car only in certain countries. COCHE or AUTO are widely accepted as well.
3. (@4:47) CORRO already conjugated. It means "I RUN”
4. (@4:49) CORO can mean CHOIR or CHORUS
5. (@10:25) ¿QUÉ HORAS SON? - apparently this is incorrect, although it is widely used (Like in the Manu Chau song "ME GUSTAS TU")
6. (@15:33) TENGO SUEÑO - a more accurate translation would be “I’M SLEEPY". I’M TIRED would be "ESTOY CANSADO”.
7. (@17:33) I messed up the subtitle at although I did pronounce it correctly. It should be "UN DÍA GRIS”
THANK YOU GUYS! I’M DEFINITELY FAR FROM PERFECT BUT I HOPE YOU FIND THIS VIDEO HELPFUL!
You pronounce beautifully. As well as the different words used or the sounds for the C, Z, S don't you think there's also like a different 'melody' for the different accents? I don't know how to better describe it, it's like the ups and downs and stress in different parts of the phrase.
In my homecity of Santander, in the north of Spain, it is said we 'sing' a lot when speaking.
Absolutely, Eduardo, I agree with you! It is so interesting to listen to the different "melodies" of the different regional accents.
Buenas! Enhorabuena por tu pronunciación.
Solo quería aclarar que en ciertas zonas de España, concretamente en Andalucía, también se habla con la S y no se pronuncian las c y z como th.
Por otra parte, "¿Qué horas es?" es correcto, como bien has dicho; mientras "¿qué horas son?" es incorrecto. Pero, "me gustas tú", es CORRECTO. Por ejemplo: "¿Quién te gusta?" => "Me gustas tú."
Coche es lo más correcto cuando nos queremos referir a automóviles, porque Carro es más bien para referirse a un carruaje antiguo, o un transporte de arrastre. Es muy normal que en América se utilicen palabras de la época de la colonización y las hayan seguido utiizando hasta la época.
Un abrazo!!!!!
Es increíble como tienes a tantas personas de habla hispana viendo tu video completo asombradas por tu excelente pronunciación. Es normal que varios van a opinar por pequeños detalles como palabras que se usan en unos países de una forma y en otros de otra pero no se puede enseñar un español perfectamente neutral para todo el mundo. Mis felicitaciones como mexicano :)

lol now I know why it's pretty easy to pronounce Spanish words as a Filipino. We actually have the same vowels and vowel sounds in Filipino language. Too bad that the Spanish language died in the Philippines long ago after we gained our independence from Spain. It would be interesting if we can still speak the language fluently as a lot of Filipino words that we use everyday are actually Spanish loanwords.

When I was working in Mighigan state, I said to an american friend, that 'r' in the middle of the words, is pronunced similar to this.
Say lettuce (In spanish we would write "leres") now, say it with out "L", ettuce (eres) Eres means you are. That sound is very similar to our real 'r' in spanish.
So, he had to forget the english "r" at all.
Jamás había pensado en lo difícil que podría ser para un americano entender la diferencia entre ser y estar. El español es tan específico!
De hecho, en cierta parte esa es la dificultad del español a los que hablan inglés, mientras que su conjugación se basa en poner las palabras sin tocarlas, en español tienes que fragmentarla para cada género de la palabra y para cada tiempo y el propio ser y estar.
Y hay idiomas más "específicos".
Igual, la facilidad es que el idioma es fonético, no hay que preocuparse por como suenan ciertas conjunciones de letras como en el inglés (los estoy viendo though, tough, thought, trought, thorough), si una "A" suena como "A" en español, jamás cambiará.
Lo que probablemente más los atormente serían las tildes y la contraparte though, tough, thought, trought, thorough; el "porque", "porqué", "por que" y "por qué" al escribir, pero ni los latinos en su mayoría sabe las diferencias de ello.
@@briancanales1806 tienes razón, la ultima parte es bastante omitida por gran parte de la población, solo iría a la parte más refinada de este idioma
El español no es tan específico, el ser o estar es lo básico del español, entender la diferencia es primordial pero si le añadimos su conjugación en todos los tiempos, ahí viene la dificultad para ellos.
Pero eso no significa que sea específico, algunas veces no tiene sentido.
Isabella Para un americano no es difícil, ahí tienes a los millones de americanos mexicanos que lo dominan, a millones de colombianos, argentinos, chilenos, etc. Prácticamente toda Latinoamérica.

Estar: ahora en este momento.

Good way to learn
Thanks, Holly. One really good point that you made is, listen to the mistakes that Spanish speakers make in English - they are clues to speaking Spanish. Just last week I heard someone say something like "He drives the car red." I've even heard "the cars reds." That absolutely tells you something about the patterns in Spanish.
I’m an American and my dad’s from Mexico, and my moms from Spain but since I’m American and my dad’s a VERY proud American he didn’t want us to speak Spanish because he said we only speak English in the US and because my moms English wasn’t to good she would speak to me in Spanish, and I would respond in English so I never learned it. Now that I’m 23 and have grown up a bit, I’ve realized how much of a benefit is to know a second, even a third language in your personal and professional life. You’ve helped me A LOT. I’m pretty proficient in Spanish now because of you, so now I’m learning French as well. Merci infiniment! 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇪🇸🇫🇷
Sergio Alcantar glad you realized about this. Unfortunately this is a pretty common mistake that first generation parents make. As a result we have all these people destroying the language and passing it to future generations.

Yo hablo español desde que nací y nunca supe que la palabra "radio" estaba abreviada y que la palabra original era "radiofonía". Yo quedé en shock en ese momento. JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
Pensé q era de radioemision
Se llama radio porque su funcionamiento se basa en al recepción de ondas/rayos electromagnéticos.RADIUS, en latín, significa 'rayo de luz', del que se tomó la palabra 'rayo'. En realidad, se usa radio como un apócope de 'radiorreceptor'.
radiofonía, radiofónico, radiofonosita, radiómetro, radiólogo, radiofrecuencia, radioyente... Todas son compuesots de la palabra radio.
Yo hice un curso de Locución en Radio y no me lo dijeron
radiofonia es la transmision del sonido por ondas, el objeto que recibe la ondas se llama radio
@@Maqueronte524 No, se llama radioreceptor o receptor de radio. Decimos radio para abreviar, de la misma manera que decimos tele y no televisión o televisor, bici y no bicicleta, boli y no bolígrafo...
solo vengo para darme animos cuando pienso que el ingles es dificil, veo este video y se me pasa
igual
De hecho, es más fácil aprender inglés para las personas que hablan español porque no conjugan el verbo dependiendo de la persona sólo conjugan verbos en pasado y presente para todas las personas iguales (yo tu el nosotros vosotros y ellos) en cambio cuando ellos aprenden español deben aprender una forma nueva de conjugar a la que no están acostumbrados jaja
JAJJAJA
el ingles es muy fácil de aprender a comparación del español jajaja
Jajajaja total
Holly, I am a Spanish teacher and I really love your videos, not only I get to perfect my English but they also help my students with their Spanish in a fun way. You rock!
11:10, I want to continue this by adding some stuff...
There is something i noticed about the verbs "Ser" & "Estar":
{I will be using masculine forms in spanish, 'cause they are more general. As well as i will be using the conjugations: "Soy" as the "Me/I" form of "Ser" & "Estoy" as the "Me/I" form of "Estar".}
Ok, so, there is a pattern(I guess).
🔷️When we are using "Estar", we often use "At/In/On" which translates to "En" (we use them after "Be")
>Example:
-I *am in* my room/ *Estoy en* mi cuarto
-I *am at* the park/ *Estoy en* el parque
-I *am on* tv/ *Estoy en* la tv
♦️So far I don't find ANY exceptions to this.
If i see any i will add it, or if you are a native spanish speaker and you find an exception, i will be thanked with you if you comment it, i will gladly add it ^-^.
🔸️The thing you need to focus on is "En", if we take it out, they will be "Ser" and the sentences would mean different things.
>Example:
-I *am* my room/ *Soy* mi cuarto
-I *am* the park/ *Soy* el parque
-I *am* tv/ *Soy* tv
🔷️When you are using "A" after "Be", then you are probably using "Ser"
>Example:
-I *am a* student/ *Soy un* estudiante
-I *am a* human being/ *Soy un* ser humano
-I *am a* big brother/ *Soy un* hermano mayor
Ok, so this is basically due to the way we use it in spanish, as you can see, every one of the examples i put, in the spanish version comes with "un" which is the translation to "a".
🔸️WE DON'T USE "UN" IN FRONT OF THE VERB "ESTAR" *EXCEPT* When we use "little/ little bit" which is translated as "poco/ poquito"
>Example:
-I *am a* _little bit_ mad/ *Estoy un* _poquito_ enojado
-I *am a* _little_ far/ *Estoy un* _poco_ lejos
-I *am a* _little bit_ wrong/ *Estoy un* _poquito_ equivocado
🔸️We could also use the verb "Ser" in those, but they would be a little bit diferent:
>Example:
-I *am a* _little bit_ mad/ *Soy un* _poquito_ enojon
-I *am a* _little_ far/ *Soy un* _poco_ lejano
-I *am a* _little bit_ wrong/ *Soy un* _poquito_ equivocadizo
🔸️What's the difference?
Well...
-I *am a* _little_ far/ *Estoy un* _poco_ lejos (fisicaly are far)
-I *am a* _little_ far/ *Soy un* _poco_ lejano (mind is not there/ distant actitude)
-I *am a* _little bit_ wrong/ *Estoy un* _poquito_ equivocado(a mistake)
-I *am a* _little bit_ wrong/ *Soy un* _poquito_ equivocadizo (tends to make mistakes often)
》I actually dare you to try that:
-Put:"Soy un poquito equivocadizo" or "Soy un poco lejano" in the translator.
-You will get:-"I am a little bit wrong" or "I am a little far".
-Then put:"I am a little bit wrong" or "I am a little far" in the translator.
-You will get:"Estoy un poquito equivocado" or "Estoy un poco lejos".
》That's because we often use "Estoy" in those, but "Soy" its also correct.
♦️So far, i've only see this exceptions, if i see more i will add them, or if you are a native spanish speaker and you find more exceptions you want me to add, i will gladly add them ^-^.
🔷️As you can see, "Ser" & "Estar" are very different, i hope i helped you more to identify which is which :3
Gracias, me esforzé mucho 😅 UwU
II'm a native Spanish speaker. I read your entire comment and I agree. I just would like to add something. In the example that you give "I am a little far/Soy un poco lejano"; I believe a better translation to Spanish could be "Soy un poco distante" if you want to express "Distant attitude".
You know? I tried to make a short and easy summary to use «Ser» and «Estar», but I couldn't. Lol.
I had not realized how difficult it is if you do not use it in your day to day. Sorry. I hope you can enhance your Spanish level. it's tough but it's very nice and pretty. :3
Greetings from Mexico.
Estimada Pilar, el verbo "ser" se utiliza al describir la "esencia" de las cosas. Una puerta puede "estar" cerrada o abierta. Una persona puede "estar" vestida, semidesnuda o desnuda, una sopa puede "estar" caliente o fría, mi primo puede "estar" peinado o despeinado. "Estar" cerrado, abierto, vestido, desnudo, caliente, frío, peinado o despeinado son coyunturas circunstanciales no esenciales. Si mi primo "es" calvo esencialmente no puede tener pelo. Si una persona "es" simpática quiere decir que en su forma de "SER", en su esencia la simpatía "está" impregnada. Si no "está" impregnada en su forma de "SER" no "es" simpática. ( Por supuesto, la simpatía como la belleza "es" opinable, otro individuo puede pensar que esa persona "es" antipática) Sin embargo te pueden preguntar ¿Cómo "estuvo" tu amigo el otro día?. ¿"Estuvo" simpático o "estuvo" antipático? Tu amigo "es" una persona simpática pero ese día "estaba" enojado y "estuvo" antipático. La hierba "es" verde, puede "estar" segada o no "estarlo". Las rosas pueden "estar" abiertas o cerradas, eso no las define pero tienen su color característico, son "blancas" o "son "rojas"...etc. Su color "es" parte de su esencia . "Son" las 2 porque el idioma español "es" anterior a Einstein y el tiempo no era relativo sino esencial y a las 2 no podían "ser" las 3.
Entiendo que el tema "es" complicado y lo "estoy" complicando. Mi enfoque puede "ser" erroneo y hacer que yo "esté" equivocado, pero recuerde, la clave "es y está" en la "ESENCIA" y como bien explica Superholly la esencia tiende a "ser" permanente (aunque todo cambia con el tiempo) y la existencia suele "ser" breve y circunstancial .
SER son palabras mayores. ESTAR no lo son. Y para muestra un botón : " TO BE OR NOT TO BE " "SER o no SER" "That is the question."
@@sergiorodrguezprez4834 JAJAJAJAJAJAJA, WEY SABES QUE ME DA RISA?
TAMBIEN SOY DE MÉXICO 😂😂😂
La cosa es que llevo en escuelas bilingües desde el kinder, por lo que mi nivel de ingles es relativamente bastante alto.
Y el hecho de que me hayas dicho lo de "mejorar" mi nivel de español, solo me hace sentir más orgullosa todavía acerca de mi nivel de ingles.
Saludos desde Cancún ;)
@@angelgarcia-yz1yy Me pareció bastante interesante tu forma de plantear la diferencia.
Mi objetivo era tratar de explicar como _identificar_ cuando se tiene que usar cual, con ejemplos y traducciones.
Como una persona que lleva aprendiendo 3 idiomas desde hace años, me parece que lo más practico es mostrar cuando se ocupan, y tratar de explicar sus diferencias, y al menos a mi, me funciona bastante cuando las maestras muestran 1 o más ejemplos en los que se usa, de esa forma se me hace todavía más facil el aprender lo que están enseñando.
Y más que solo aprenderlo, se me hace más facil ponerlo en práctica.
Y algo que yo aprecio mucho, es cuando nos dicen las reglas gramaticales.
Así como nos enseñaron de pequeños, que si una palabra termina en "cion", automáticamente lleva acento en la "o".
Ese tipo de reglas son las que me gusta repasar, si las memorizas y logras ponerlas en práctica, es más facil manejar el idioma.
Solamente aclaro, todo esto lo digo por mi propia experiencia, no digo que todos sean como yo, pero me gusta dar mis tips, y si le sirven a alguien, que bueno :D

Thanks for a very concise explanation of Spanish pronunciation. I'm learning Spanish as a third language & have had trouble trilling the 'r'. What helped me overcome this was reading aloud from children's stories. Many are written in Spanish to help los ninos learn to make the linguistic sounds of Spanish for themselves -- so trilling the 'rr' is a LEARNED behavior, not something which magically occurs among Spanish speakers. Another observation: sometimes not pronouncing other Spanish sounds correctly in a word or phrase can sabotage one's ability to successfully trill the 'r'.
Pronuncias tan bien el inglés!! (Ya sé que eres Estadounidense, pero hay personas de ahí que hablan tan rápido que no se le entiende nada) Entendí todo el vídeo y eso que estoy aprendiendo inglés, sos una genia Holly! Una de mis youtubers favoritas, sin dudarlo!!
¡Eso me encanta!
Gracias, linda... 😉
Es super gratificante ver a alguien que no es nativo hablar correctamente español...creo que el algoritmo de google se ha dado cuenta de esto

Juandiego Calero Hay miles, por no decir millones, que hablan español perfecto sin ser nativos 😂. Con otros idomas pasa lo mismo, ya sea en mayor o menor medida
Eso es muy cierto
Hey, I'm a Venezuelan guy living in Australia. I don't know why I started to watch this video but, I loved it. I have some friends over here learning Spanish and they always keep asking me things that I don't know how to respond, however you almost responded yo all of them.
thank you for taking the time to do this.

This was outstanding! You went over the true most common mistakes and loved that you started with the vowels! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am so glad I found your channel and I loved and have enjoyed hearing about your life growing up in Mexico. You truly were super blessed to have been raised in both countries. Your Spanish is better than mine and I am Mexican! Hehe.

I am a Spanish Dual immersion teacher for English speaking kids in Los Ángeles. So I teach them all the subjects in Spanish. You literally described every single one of my students’ biggest problems when speaking Spanish. The word “yo” is one of my biggest pet peeves. I’m so close to banning that word from my class, lol. Also the ser vs. estar. I love how you explained it. I’m gonna do a whole lesson on this.
It’s hard for me to understand sometimes why they make some mistakes because I’m a native Spanish speaker, but just as we make mistakes in English due to our Spanish fluency, they make mistakes that show they are thinking in English. By the way, you would be an amazing dual immersion teacher. Thanks for these tips.
Can you help me figure out why they always says “ella SE dijo que es mi amiga”. Why the heck do they use SE instead of ME. I don’t get it. It helps to understand the why do I can teach my students why they’re most likely making that common mistake.
Another common mistake is “puedo lavarme mis manos”?
Voy a mi casa abuelaS casa. (This one I get the reason )
Ana T todos esos errores son cometidos porque piensan en inglés y lo traducen a nuestra lengua,lo mismo pasa en el caso contrario..... sólo necesitan ensayar mucho más
*ella SE dijo que es mi amiga*: aquí "ella" es el sujeto que puede ser obviado, mientras que agregan "se" quizá para tratar de especificar a quien se realiza la acción en el predicado, aunque en este caso no sería necesario porque no se le dijo a nadie en específico.
*Puedo lavarME MIS manos*: aquí, el sujeto "yo" está correctamente obviado, pero el pronombre que indica a quien se realiza la acción en el predicado está redundado, es decir, se están utilizando dos pronombres consecutivamente para complementar el predicado, en este caso, especificar de quién son las manos. en "lavarme", se indica de quién son las manos (pronombre objetivo me), por lo que es innecesario utilizar luego el pronombre posesivo "mis". Ambos pronombres se pueden utilizar de forma correcta pero nunca al mismo tiempo, ejemplo:
"Puedo lavarme las manos?" - pronombre objetivo -me
"Puedo lavar mis manos?" - pronombre posesivo "mis"

Hi, if someone need this. I'm from Spain and I can teach you Spanish easily thanks to my teaching method and knowledge of my native language (EU Spain)
We can learn perfect Spanish and you can talk with me in English for any question you need. I'm an advance English student, this is perfect for understand you and improve my English even more. SuperHolly inspired me a lot and here I am today. I'm a Spanish teacher with advanced English level Cambridge C1 thanks and DM me. You can learn we can do it.
WOW
Holly. Can you make more English videos for those who want to learn Spanish? I love this video and your style of teaching. I'm American trying to learn Spanish.
Hi! Two years later how is it going?
Hi! So I know zero Spanish and stumbled across this video because I'm curious to learn and I just want to say this video was amazing! Please Please Please do more videos like this! It was fun, interactive, and engaging. Im probably going to watch this a thousand more times because its that good! 👍
+6 Toon awwwwww this is encouraging! I am thinking of doing a language-learning series in the future, it's just so difficult to plan! Anyway, so glad you enjoyed my video 😉
superholly I completely understand! Ill be watching your other videos in the mean time! 👌
superholly njkk
Same here - you're approach to teaching is great. I took high school Spanish and already know a lot of the grammar. Now that I am living in Northern Baja I am trying to improve my Spanish.
I can read and understand a lot from TV subtitles but Mexicans still have a hard time understanding me because of the WAY I speak my vowels and consonants.
I thought the Spanish would just come more naturally to me just by being immersed in it but it is a much slower process.
I think it takes more detailed practice for a lot of English speaker to learn how to pronounce the trilled "r" in Spanish. There are some dedicated youtube videos for the trilled r. I am that difficulty anyway. Lots of other people can get to the correct r more easily.
"Pero" vs. "Perro" is a biggie.
Mexicans must be SO used to Americans referring to those animals as "but" ( s ). ( tee hee ). Also I get nervous referring to a female canine as "una perra" since I'm afraid I might use it the wrong way and it might sound like I'm using the b word. My dog is female.
I mention this because there are lots and lots of dogs in Mexico.
People kept telling me "no suelta" which means I should NOT let my dog off the leash but I didn't understand at first. Also when I learned the word I was saying "no suelto" and some guy corrected me.
Of course living here you pick up the words and expressions that fit the different situations you run up against.
I found myself speaking some Spanish without thinking about it at the gas station because you go there so frequently.
I have so much more empathy for Spanish speaking Mexicans while they are in the US and trying to remember the English word for something.
I KNOW that feeling now.
Thank you SO much for your videos.
Even though the comments are in Spanish those speakers have a lot to add depending where they come from. Spanish is tricky because different countries can have very different words for the same thing.
That is practically a subject all by itself and then you get into regional and national idioms and the nuances.
I already am a native Spanish and English speaker I don't know why I'm watching but you're pronouncing every thing good😊 saludos desde el norte de California
Diego Estrada p.l. Are you REALLY a native English speaker? It's just a question because your grammar isn't great
Crybaby Hey can you answer something for me?
How can I know when do you use "on" and "in" in English? I'm learning and I really don't understand that thing. Thanks :D
Pablo C it has many uses. *When referring to objects:
You use IN to tell when an object is inside another one. For example: The car is IN the garage, or You can borrow my notebook, is IN my backpack.
On the other hand, you use ON to refer to objects that are above a surface. For example: I saw your cellphone ON the table, or I left my backpack ON the couch.
*When you are talking about events:
You use IN when you speak in a general way. For example: I was born IN 1990. In this sentence I give you information about my year of birth, but not the exact day or month.
The opposite happens when you use ON. You have to be very specific. For example: My birthday is ON January, 1st. You also use ON when you refer to months alone or days of the week, because is a way of being "specific".
There are a lot more uses, but it will be a very long post if I continue explaining. I hope this will help you understand anyway :)
+Larissa Miranda Thank you so much, now I understand :D

Thanks a lot and, again congrats are in order for this amazing video. Hope to hear from you soon
superholly idea about why is La Puente, some nouns have changed gender through the centuries. For instance, today we say 'el fantasma' but around the 17th century they used to say 'la fantasma' (which makes more sense, btw). Don't know if that's actually the case, but it would be a simple explanation :)
Albert guessed it right, "puente" used to be feminine back in the Quixote days (17th century).

Eso es porque te concentraste en lo que estabas escuchando y pusiste todo de tu parte para entender. Esa es la forma correcta de aprender idiomas.
PD: No le hagas caso al tarado de arriba, él necesita iniciar una discusión
Siii es buenisimo yo solamente el 80% masomenos y tambien me siento orgulloso.
Es porque habla claro y lento en comparación a una conversación normal entre angloparlantes.
Los subtítulos también ayudan mucho!
Thanks for posting this.
I recently got married in Colombia and will be living there next year.
I am trying to make my Spanish as good as possible.
This is a great lesson.
localbod your wife/husband is colombian?
Sean Ogreen Yep she sure is, and I am practicing my Spanish everyday. But I expect that I will spend the rest of my life learning it.
@localbod As you're learning your native language your life long too. Even if it's just some different dialect.
Lues Times Lues Times you're right but, there're no problems understanding Spanish between Colombia and Mexico (I'm Salvadoran btw), he will be living in Colombia so he will get used to the different words they use to name something example Salvadoran says camiseta (shirt) Mexican says Playera, Maybe Colombian say camisa or remera (I don't know) the point is that he will get used to those words 'cos he will hear the words Colombian use to name things using none standard words
where are you from ?
This great, Holly! I love how you gave examples on the differences between English and Spanish.
I wanted to learn Spanish because I wanted to read Jose Rizal’s Mi Ultimo Adios in its original language. They say a whole new culture opens up once you learn a new language, and I can’t wait for that to happen!
I don't even know why I'm watching this video since I speak Brazilian Portuguese and already have learned Spanish but her videos are so nice to watch ♡
brazilian and Portuguese are the same language it does not make sense
Layla I don't know 🤷♀️ either, 😎
+ricardo menjivar Sure, like how American and English are the same.
ricardo menjivar there is both types of Portuguese, the one from Brazil (that I speak) and the one from Portugal
erica halter Well, Spanish always had influence in Brazilian culture since we share the same continent, but we're the only ones who don't speak Spanish. Since Portuguese comes from Latin as well, there is a lot that I learned while growing up. Officially I took 2 years of Spanish but with knowledge along the years, you know? But if you dedicate to the language, you can do it! I studied English for about 5 years and a half but before that I could understand and speak well too. So it depends on how much time you make yourself learn it :)

This way to learn Spanish. The college classrooms were hum-drum but the way Holly teaches in invigorating and habit forming. Sorry to say that having lived on or near to the border 40 years I still cannot speak fluently much less understand normal conversation. Muchas Gracias Senorita Holly!
Every now and then YT suggests a video that's worthwhile and this is definitely one of them. I'm not quite halfway through but I liked and subscribed. I'm a new expat living in South America. I want to sound like a native but not with the accent I hear daily, which is the equivalent of a southern twang in the States. You sound amazing and with more practice I hope to as well! A neighbor recently said I don't sound like a gringo anymore so I guess I'm getting there slowly but surely.

I just wanted to thank you for this great brief summary of the Spanish language. I will use this video with my students as an introduction ( or possibly a summary of what we have already learned) for Spanish 1. Keep up the good work! ¡Me encantó tu presentación! David
I am currently learning Spanish prior to moving to South America late 2021. I also watch your learning English videos as well. I really appreciate how much content your have! Thanks, it's always a big boost!
I'm Italian, I learned English at school and I became fluent in Spanish from level 0 just living in Spain for 6 months, I cannot even imagine how long would it take to learn a language with yt videos
Imagine how hard was to learn a language when Internet didn't even exist! I'm spanish and it took me 12 years to fully learn English to the point where I was fluent... and I never went abroad!
(I'm a spaniard) I shared flat with italians a month. At first i didnt catch almost anything, but only in 3 weeks I started to understand the topic about they were talking. In a month i could understand they perfectly if they didnt use a lot of expressions. Now i consume some content (depending how clear the sound is) in that language and in three-four months i can watch movies. I think our languages are very closed and they look very similar in pronunciation, I'm sure it wouldn't be like this if that language were russian or farsi or whatever.
No that long, It took me 1 year to learn english by myself, as I got plenty time I got started on it, searching data, watching videos of any kind and translating word I found every time it appeard, hence I didn't need any help of teachers, institutions or stuff but me, Greeting!
@@BlackHoleSpain That's why Americans struggle to become fluent in a second language if they have no background in another language.
I was looking for a video in which I can listen to spoken Spanish because I have to do presentation in Spanish at the university later and I'm super unconfident when it comes to the speaking (especially in front of the class). And thank god, I found your channel! You really reminded me of how Spanish is pronounced and I really think I'm less nervous right now. so thank you! By the way, I am German and I really liked your German-resting-tongue-noise haha
Awww good luck, honey! ❤️

Thank you, I think it wasn‘t that bad:-)
hi! Do you want to learn Spanish? I speak native Spanish and I want to learn English. We can exchange lenguage
Hi Leoni F I need to talk with someone in English and I speak Spanish so we can help one each other, I wait your answer, bye...
I am a native spanish speaker and I can say that her accent is amazing, this is the best american spanish speaker that i've ever heard. She is pretty neutral, doesn't sound spanish or latina. Shes genuinely NEUTRAL.
If you wish to learn spanish, she sounds like the right person.
Good luck!!!
Ella vivia en mexico y estudiaba tambien en mexico por mucho tiempo desde ninita aunque es 100 pprciento Americana
A im mexican a im jump walls xd
Mna. She doesn't sound Latina, she sounds like a Mexican.
+Pablo Villegas mexico is in latin america, lol.
Melanie It's México, and who cares where it's at, the accent is Mexican, so she sounds Mexican. Not Latino. You use Latino in your language, and it's badly used, we don't use it. It's like I said, you sound English. Besides, not all countries in Latin America speak Spanish, let alone sound the same.
Gracias Holly, ahora puedo hablar español. Ah, no, cierto que soy nativo :v
