Andrew, I believe your method of instruction most useful for the casual spanish student.
If you start speaking you will make all kinds of mistakes but most Spanish speakers will help. GRAMMAR WILL FOLLOW SPEACH. I am 80 and just took up my hobby of learning a little Spanish.
VOWEL PRONUNCIATION MOST IMPORTANT. I know very little Spanish but correct pronunciation of vowels is MOST IMPORTANT.
Thank for your short posts.
Congratulations! A small mistake: " Algo"; do not pronounce (aul go), just pronounce al go. (a). Sorry for my poor English. Luis.
This is my favorite Learning Spanish channel. Direct to the points. No dead air. The teacher don't even stutter or stumble on his words. Clear, calming and charming voice.
NOT GOOD.. ONLY LEARN FROM NATIVE BORN,, SPANISH COUNTRIES,, 🔊 🔈 SPEAKERS . THIS GUY HERE , IS A ENGLISH ONLY COUNTRY😮😮,, YOU WILL PICK UP HIS. """"GRINGO"""""😢 ACCENT.
Really enjoying your videos. They are a great addition to Duolingo, language podcasts, and workbooks.
Thanks 🙏🏽
This is just what I needed. I know hundreds of Spanish words and listen to hours of conversations, but this is a game-changer for me.
You probably dont care but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@@jalentristen1258 did you ever make it back into you IG? 🤣
@@jalentristen1258 no sry
I don't know Spanish.Where do I start?
@@chadfolmar5900 I’ll get some flack, but Duolingo is a great resource when starting out, in order to get you interested in learning, and making time everyday to learn. On top of this I recommend listening to podcasts, and reading articles in Spanish, EVEN IF you don’t know the words. That’s not the point. Learning a language takes a lot of time. If you can dedicate 1-2 hours a day exposing yourself to comprehensible input, actively listening to what you’re hearing and reading, you will benefit greatly.
I learned and actually really UNDERSTOOD with you teaching and breaking it down. Superb 👍 Definitely subscribed. Please keep this up the same way so I can learn. Thank you Andrew.❤❤❤
Como siempre este vídeo es muy informativo. ¡Qué feliz estoy por haber encontrado tu canal! Quiero repasar los básicos de español pues son los más importantes. 😀 Puedo leer y escribir , sin embargo, todavía mi pronunciación no es tan buena. De hecho, es fatal, pero ahora sé que tengo que prestar más atención a las vocales. Esta tarde voy a practicar a decir estas palabras cuando voy de compras en Granada. Gracias Andrew.😀 Yo necesito tu ayuda para mejorar y cada vídeo me enseña algo.👍
And me. I want to have a better English at all, my Spanish is perfect but my English is 85%
@@rolfytonocastillo146 Poco a poco!👍
En verdad? Este canal te ayudó?
I am ur New subscriber🙂...I wanna to learn Spanish ;So plz help me Sir!firstly i want to learn we can make words in spanish and what type of alphabets used in Spanish 😑Help Me😥
Wow I'm loving your videos! Very helpful as I'm a native Spanish speaker trying to teach my language to my colleagues!
Ah sweet. I think non speakers of Spanish would pick up more if the Spanish speakers talk slower. But no criticism meant.
I've been trying to learn Spanish for the past 12 years on my own and I've never been able to truly understand the language 😔
Brilliant. This is almost exactly the way I taught myself to learn languages. Typically I begin with a list of sounds with one word in the new language and an english word that both contain the sound and of course the meaning of the sound. With this list I get some vocabulary and the ability to pronounce what I read. What I lack is connectives, i.e how to put words together into sentences. Because I had learned french in school I keep mixing french into my spanish and have great trouble making spanish sentences. Your video has cleared up somethings for me. It is very helpful. I look forward to more.
Very nice presentation, I have been studying Spanish for a couple years so know all of these words. I didn't realize how important isolating the vowels were, makes a lot of sense.
Indeed.
Would you be interested in practicing your Spanish?? I'm learning English
Seguro, pero solo hablo un poco de Espanol@@pilargomez1118
Hola Andrew! These are some very good basic Spanish words to know. Gracias!
Can you please tell me, though, why you have chosen to use the masculine form of "this; este" rather than the neutral form "esto" for these phrases? It is my understanding that when we are referring to objects and/or places in general, we should use the neutral "esto". Por ejemplo: "¿Qué es esto?" pointing to an unknown object, or "¿Donde está esto?" pointing to a place on a map which we are trying to locate. Gracias, de nuevo!
Hola Blake, here in these example sentences, "este" is better for places e.g. "este (lugar)", "este (sitio)", and for objects, "este (objeto)". Natives will assume the words in brackets from context if we simply say "este".
@@realfastspanish Thanks, Andrew. This is more good information to know. I will add it to my Spanish repertoire.
Superb! I am JUST starting. I know English, French, Latin - but now live among Mexicans! THIS is the first really great video I have seen! I will keep watching more and more of them until I can read Don Quixote and 100 Years of Solitude!
you knock it out of the ball park with this lesson.....great job!!!
Love these!! I have studied Spanish for a lot of years, now I am teaching it to middle school boys with short attention spans......argh! Thanks for these great videos--plus it is great to see basic rules that I may have forgotten:)
I am a beginner I would like to get alone with you
Great explanation for the Spanish H sound; a well put together lesson.
.... Ok. I know this may be very late comment to this video, however, if I may, I would liked to pitch in my two cents into the matter.
Especially in favor of those who might be watching the video for the first time.
*Este*
Functions as an adjective or as a pronoun.
As an adjective, it will always be with a singular masculine noun: _Este libro_ es mi favorito. (This book is my favorite)
As a pronoun, it goes alone, without a name behind it.
In this case, it always refers to something that we have talked about before or,
in any case, we clearly know what or who we are talking about:
¿Qué libro te gusta más? (which book do you like most?)
Me gusta este. (hace referencia a libro) I like this one. (refers to book)
"Esta", "Estos" and "Estas" work the same but with feminine singular, masculine plural and feminine plural nouns, respectively.
Now, be very mindful of the the plural of "Este". It is not *Estes, but "Estos".
*Esto*
This is always a pronoun, that is, it always goes alone. It doesn't have a name behind it.
Also, it's not masculine. It is used when we refer to something indefinite, such as a situation or many feminine and masculine things together:
¿Qué es todo esto? (What is all this?)
Esto (esta situación) es demasiado para mí. This (this situation) is too much for me.
No sé qué es esto, pero me gusta. (I don't know what this is, but I like it)
You can also use it when you don't know if something is masculine or feminine or if you simply don't know how to say it in Spanish.
You can point your finger at the thing you are talking about while saying:
¿Qué es esto? (What is this?)
¿Cómo se dice esto? (How do you say this?)
Quería un poco de esto, por favor. (I wanted a little bit of this, please)
I hope this helps.
Thank you, for all you do.
Very clear Andrew and well structured. When you explained the importance of vowel sounds in Spanish with an Australian accent, it made me realise how vowels sounds in English are so variable. I am Scottish and pronounce vowels in English very different to you, although our vowels in Spanish would be the same. Thanks look forward to more!!

Feliz año nuevo y deseo que todos los estudiantes de español aprendan bien este año.
¡Hola! Soy un hispanohablante nativo de España. 🇪🇸
Me encanta ver cómo otros aprenden el idioma de mi corazón, «el español ».
Este profesor de español que no sé si es británico o australiano, enseña muy bien y con muy buena pronunciación.
Cada día me convenzo de que no debo abandonar el idioma español, y ayudar a otros a aprender mi lengua materna.
Ok
He’s Australian!
El es Australiano 😀
Very nice words of encouragement!
is it better to say no gracias or no necesito este? I am living in mexico now and trying to figure out how mexicans do things and how to be poilite vs stringing together the words i know to convey my meaning
Your manner of explanation is the best I've seen , I'm at the beginning of my Spanish journey , I'll be watching and practicing all your lessons.
I'm a Scottish guy who always wanted to learn Spanish but never got round to it. After doing one of those ancestral DNA tests, guess what it picked up? :D Now I have no excuse and these videos will be invaluable to learning Spanish!
Thanks for the kind words Alan! ¡Buena suerte! 😀
Can you speak Spanish now?
I love how you teach the pronunciation of the spanish words
I would like to recommend a very good workshop by Yuriy Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language. This excellent book will give you answers how to correctly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book answers many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. Good luck with your important work!
Every video should be like this!! Easy to follow without being easily overwhelmed!! Gracias!!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it helped! 😊
Lovely lesson Andrew, many thanks once again.
Thanks for the feedback!! :)
Another tip for beginners, no matter how mixed letters and vowels are, always vowels never ever change their pronunciation or sound. Ex: cara, lata, pata, rata etc, pera, cera tetera, mera etc raíz, maíz, lombriz etc all these and all other words the pronunciation of the vowels and letters will be same sound of the vowels..Never change such in English. Apple e is voiceless, book or door (two oo different pronunciation) I hope you guys understand,,😭😭😭😭
Amazing teacher . Pleasure to listen to.
Thank you, very helpful.
Hto menõ semiõ! Semi sdõ saie lmk! Tiõimniuõjk! :D

Thank you very much for your video, you a very good teacher. I am from Trinidad and Tobago
Is it ok to use “esta” when the objects(nouns) are feminine or “esto” as well as este when nouns are masculine?
As I understand it , “este” is used in front of masculine nouns, not esto. Esto is used for something unspecified, so you don’t know its gender. (I know, it’s an exception to using “o” in the ending for masculine.)
hello how do I learn Spanish
Great video👍
Now, in Spanish the demostrative pronouns: this & that can be masculine, femenine, or neutral; eg. Este, esta, or, esto. So, in the context of the video: "esto" rather than "este" would be the best choice.
Is this your jacket? "esta"
Is this your phone? "este"
What is this? "esto"
Jacket/femenine =esta
Phone/masculine =este
Quiero comprar esto or eso, is nutral.
Quiero comprar este jean, masculine.
¿Donde queda esta Iglesia? (church), feminine.
¿Donde queda esto/eso? Neutral
Keep up the godd work!!
🙏💪
Thank you. I have learned a lot. I appreciate
Aquí viendo cómo es qué enseñan español😆💓
Quiero - I want
Tengo que - I have to
Puedo - I can

Lolita se fue al bosque , cuando volvió a su casa estába completamente quemada.

Hola algun nativo que hable ingles para enseñarnos mutuamente XD estoy aprendiendo ingles
This = esto ...no este.....you can use este in this example..(this man=este hombre) (this car=este carro)
I'm from Finland, it's a lot easier when all the letters, how they're pronounced, it's pretty much the same, gracias
Quiero encontrar ESTO 😅😅😅 and the R please people make an effort to properly pronounce “r” that letter is a game changer for us natives.
I MADE MY PARENTS TRANSLATE QUIERO ENCONTRAR $10. AND THEY WERE CONFUSED. AND THEY ACTUALLY GAVE ME 10 BUCKS WHEN I TRANSLATED
im so sorry, guys, but im a native speaker of spanish from Chile, and "this" in spanish is equivalent to three words "este, esta , esto". we can't say in spanish "i want this" "quiereo este" , to use "estye" we need an object due to the gender in spanish "quier este libro" " i want this book" o "quiero esta casa" "i want this house" o " quiero esto" "i want this" in context; showing what you want...
Thank you for the lessons I am a Beginner and my friends and teacher speaks Spanish so this really helps thanks alot.
Would you kindly advise where I can sign up for the newsletter? Thank you. 👍
Thank you!! As a native German speaker, I can aver that the correct pronunciation of vowels is so important!!
My facial expression looks like I need to mierda when practicing this. I will keep practicing until I can look normal and then move on to the next
Hola everyone I'm so appreciate this lesson I really want to learn Spanish so if anyone can help me I be more diligent to be learning 😇😇😇
Very useful videos
For English natives it must be terrible to learn Spanish cause all the vocals change. For us in Belgium it is much easier. There is no difference. a stays a e stays e the same with I o just u changes.
Do you have any videos covering the word "fui"? Esto es muy dificíl para mi!
A co-worker is a native speaker and told me to move my tongue forward toward my teeth. Is this correct?

How is the word for faking yourself spelled Slang "Madereyse"?
I speak Spanish. I need a video like this but for french, Japanese or hebrew 😅
Quiuer estar
I tried some of the phrases on my Spanish friend and he was impressed but he said I should pronounce it as "esto" instead of "este".
Hola Henry, we should use "este" for masculine objects, "esta" for feminine objects, and "esto" for neutral concepts or ideas. So, it dependes on the context, but it sounds like you have got a perfect start! Keep up the good work!!!
@@realfastspanish You are a great teacher. Gracias.
Very well put together and your oración is remarkable. Cheers
He’s basically saying use esto in general and esta for feminine references. You can’t go wrong that way.
Esto would be “this” for an unknown noun. Este in front masculine nouns, and “esta” in front of feminine nouns. When the type noun can’t be identified/assumed, one would use esto.
I have learnt something
Quiero compra algo
Muchos gracias
I'm using an app called Linguitive and it got around 1000 words and about 100 phrases. Very intuitive for learning the basics. Also there are many useful suggestions and hints.
