OUR SUBTITLES 🔡
We try to translate our subtitles into English in the most literal way possible, without losing the meaning. While it may not always produce the best-sounding translation, we hope you find this helpful as it should reduce the need for a dictionary or grammar book to understand every sentence.

both of you are very motivating, simple, sincere, and instructive, gracias
A great deal of my nervousness comes from my imposter syndrome. I'm a first generation American who came up in an English speaking household. These conversations are a huge confidence booster! If anyone reading this also deals with imposter syndrome , you're not alone and we will achieve our desired fluency!!❤
Thank you guys for making Spanish much easier ❤️
I’m gonna write in english because I really want thank this community and really, the spanish speaking population in general because so far, everybody I’ve met in Spain (¡Andalucía! and the Mexicans and Peruvians I met in Hungary were SO NICE and patient when I tried to speak spanish in person for the first time. ❤ THE PODCASTS on this channel ARE SOO USEFUL. A year ago it was too hard for me because I just started but now I can follow Pau & José’s conversations on the most quotidian topics ever 😂 with spanish subtitles. I think they are SUPER useful because they speak so naturally and in full sentences and you learn some common interjections (?) in casual speak like “déjame decirte”, “Mira vos”, “por así decirlos” and spanish reactions like “¡Guau!” that help you sound like a native lol. Listening to Spanish music is also a godsend because no mierda they use the most common words and phrases over and over again that you can’t possibly forget how to express your heartbreak even if your lover breaks your heart for another person and leave you and you be a cat crying in the rain 🤣🤣🤣🤣
💛
Thank you for this message!
I loved reading it hahaha
Saludos,
Pau
Good joob Carrie I wish if I can learning like u it's hard for me cuz I don't have any friends for help and using what I learn .
@meededdahbi8268 u don't need friends to help you with it. Of course it would help but most people don't have that luxury. I don't, but I know that if I stick to it I'll get to the point that I can start to venture out and talk to people in Spanish. That day will come, I just have to wait for it. So do you. It's so worth it. Even now I can understand 70% of what they're saying in this video which was only a dream a few months ago.
Something similar happened to me in English. It was so hard at the begining, and I still make mistakes, but practicing with americans and australians have helped me to improve My English skills. I've lived the same situation when I learned Germán, french, italian, and jewysh spanish (which is a spanish variation). I've found and known very Nice people who helped me a lot to learn. I'm living this again but now trying to learn hebrews. So Jeep on learning: never say never if u love learning a new language.
@@kyleclarke4845i agree You, but the listening comprengension exercises we're very hard Ford me when I started to learn English. Now I enjoy speaking English with native people Even if I keep on making some mistakes 😂
If I’m at a social gathering with native spanish speakers and they all speak perfect English it’s especially intimidating to try to speak Spanish. If I say something in spanish they give me encouragement but then I feel like a child. If I speak in English I’m embarrassed because they are all bilingual and I’m the ignorant American. It’s more comfortable to speak to someone with no English where there is only one option to communicate. They appreciate my attempt and I feel good about trying.
We consider that in order to gain confidence while learning a second language. Students should be surround with positive people. And that's what we do, our teachers always provide positive feedback in the journey of learning Spanish or Portuguese...😊🥰
I was recommended to listen to UA-cam videos to increase my vocabulary and understanding of the language. I am surprised that I understand so much of what you are saying without reading the subtitles. I just can’t express myself very well yet. Thank you for this podcast with great information on dealing with being nervous in learning a new language.
I listen to this podcast everyday on my commute or while doing chores around the house.
Thank you for making me feel less alone 🩷 Spanish is hard for me and it was so nice to be able to hear all of this 🩷
It’s a natural feeling that all have as a beginner, but in truth, Spanish is super easy to learn and to understand, it’s almost as easy as English / Dutch / Norwegian etc, and I am actually native speaker level in Spanish, having learnt it in childhood in a 100% passive way, by watching a lot of movies and TV series in Spanish and by listening to a lot of songs and memorizing the lyrics, so I can understand pretty much everything in videos and movies etc, even without looking at the subs, as I know the actual words, and luckily I already have an automatic Spanish mode, so I can automatically say things without having to think about it or translate into English etc, tho it’s a very interesting topic, and sometimes I do feel like I cannot form full sentences in languages that I don’t know well, such as Breton and Danish etc, and it’s usually like that when one is a beginner, but it does get easier and easier, the more thousands of words one learns and the more one sees and hears the words and sentences, the easier it becomes, and it takes a lot of éxpòsure to the language to develop an automatic mode, so about one year ago when I started learning languages on my own, I started learning many languages, to save years and to make language learning more interesting, as there are over 50 languages on my list of languages I want to learn and improve - however, I am still trying to learn more extra words in Spanish as well, such as rare words / verbs etc that aren’t used a lot and more technical terms and also the regional / dialect terms from every Spanish-speaking region, as some words are different, depending on the region, plus I want to learn the actual spelling of most words, like, when a word has an accent or not and things like that, because I didn’t get to see a lot of written Spanish in childhood, so I learnt it mostly by hearing spoken Spanish, and videos such as these that have subs are really helpful as I get to see how the words are spellt, and I usually learn two or three new words from every video, tho in certain videos there are no new words, so it also depends on the topic, I guess, as there are some words associated with certain topics that I haven’t heard before, and I am learning many languages, including Old Norse / Gothic / Norwegian / Icelandic / Danish / Faroese / German / Swedish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic / Hungarian / Slovene / Gallo / French / Galician / Portuguese / Esperanto / Italian and other Italic languages and many other languages, while also trying to improve the languages that I already know well such as Spanish and Dutch...
I’ve also been thinking about suggesting some videos ideas and topics, for example, videos about very advanced vocab and rarely used verbs as well as videos on many different idioms and regional words etc - for example, there are verbs and nouns that I don’t know how to say in any other language, except English, including verbs that aren’t usually used a lot, such as to squirm / to wring / to squelch / to writhe / to dwindle / to huddle / to spurn / to fumble / to squeeze / to flit / to shear / to tweak / to whet / to trod / to nudge / to prod / to limp / to doddle / to whisk / to throng / to apricate / to fiddle / to bask (basking in the Sun) etc, or, nouns such as hilt (the hilt of a sword) and brisk / hut / gleaming / thicket / sylph / twirl / zephyr / gully / dale / glen / strait / tureen / apricity / raiment / anvil etc, there are actually so many words that I only know in English, including this type of less used words like descriptive verbs and all sorts of poetic terms and technical terms...
I loved hearing this and its all so true. Im learning spanish and honestly, it isnt easy and im learning alot but when it comes to talking i just get so nervous and then i make mistakes then i feel embarrassed and then I dont try again.
Paulina me parece muy maja y también inteligente! Sus observaciones indican su sensibilidad y empatía y también que es alguien con la paciencia de aprender y enseñar no sólo en el caso de los idiomas pero en la vida generalmente. José también es muy simpático. Muchas gracias por su trabajo!
💛💛💛
Gracias a ti por escucharnos!
¡Hola Easy Spanish! Muy buen episodio, con una conversación muy útil y sincera. Gracias por eso.
Enhorabuena. Viva la escuela.
💛
You guys are incredible! I supplement these videos with conversation classes and they work a charm. Especially useful to think in Spanish and avoid translations from native language!
!Hola chicos! Estoy muy agradecida y feliz por Easy Spanish! Aprender un idioma te cuesta mucho tiempo y esfuerzo pero vale más que la pena;) Muchísimas gracias !!!Un abrazo 😘
Been listening to your podcast on Spotify, and I feel inlove with Paulina's personality, now my favorite podcaster isn't faceless anymore. Me encanta Paulina 😍
¡Exacto! He estado estudiando español a la universidad desde hace 3 años y aunque mi vocabulario y conocimiento de gramática están al nivel avanzado, me pone muy nervioso cada vez intento hablar el idioma. Estoy completamente de acuerdo con vosotros de que me resulta un efecto emocional a la hora de hablarlo. También me siento como niño al hablar español ¡a pesar de tener 61 años! Muchísimas gracias por este excelente vídeo. 🙏
💛
you are wonderful ! muchas gracias from Tunisia
Do you have a video on helpful phrases? You mention that is a great way to communicate in the beginning and that makes sense to me.
We could make a video with some phrases!
Thank you for the idea!
Saludos,
Pau
Spanish has so many great learning resources. When will they make content like this for Korean?
No pongas nervioso cuando tienes una conversación en español. Practica poco a poco.
15:00 been there, and you just gotta keep on trucking. People will deal.
This structure is amazing! Conversation with double translations
muchas gracias por eso es muy util para nosotros y déjanos aprender más esta bonita idioma, mi salud de alegría
Gracias, chicos, por un más podcast maravilloso! Desayunando pancakes caseros, tomando un cafecito sabroso y escuchando a Pau y José.... Qué más para un buen comienzo del día ❤
Excelente video, como siempre. Es más fácil decirlo que hacerlo, pero trata de relajarte cuando hablas tu idioma extranjero. Vas a cometer errores, y esto es natural. No se puede evitarlos sí aprendes un idioma.
Me gusta el consejo de hablar con gente quien está en la "misma página" como tú. Es decir- habla con personas que también están aprendiendo el idioma, para que no te sientas tan vulnerable y que no te des tanta vergüenza si cometes un error.
Gracias por un video muy útil!
I’ve only just started to watch your videos. I’m amazed that I can’t tell by listening what your first languages are, as you both sound so natural in both English and Spanish 👍🏿
Este es el mejor video sobre las problemas con hablar en una idioma nuevo. Muchas gracias por compatir
Me encanta este dos personas ❤️
💛
Muy bueno este video!
You are best!
That girl's voice is like a spoon of ice cream melting in my mouth 🍦🍦
¡Muchas gracias por todo el esfuerzo para hacer el español más fácil¡
Mil gracias por sus buenos videos. Son muy útiles, y estoy acostumbrada a verlos todos los días. ❤❤
Fan de Taiwán.
Qué bien!
Saludos desde México,
Pau
I absolutely love this video. The conversation was the most in depth and insightful I've seen on this issue. It validated for me so many of the thoughts that hold me back as a learner, the feelings that go along with those little awkward experiences we have interacting with people and in groups as we're learning. Great insight on finding ourselves in the language. It went beyond the typical advice on how to calm the nerves, lighten the mood and open up conversations. Thank you for making this one.
💛
Thank you for this! Something I've been explaining to friends too-- it's not just learning words and verbs its locating yourself in a new culture. Muchas gracias por todo
💛
wonderful videopodcast as always. You guys are great teachers

3:46 ❤
Great and helpful content as always. Paulina es muy guapa, por supuesto but has a super attractive personality/way about her. I'm a big fan 😜
cántele a Pau de tu amor por ella señor
@@carrie_lol Creo que acabo de hacerlo.
❤❤❤
Thank you for your tips and advice. I have been learning Spanish since year and it's very helpful. But I didn't want to do the same mistakes in my English so I'm starting speaking from scratch in Spanish. Is not easy because my first problem is lack a lot of words, phrases. The second was not speaking - but grammar structures. For me is doesn't mater if I speak correctly or not - I think that it comes naturaly some day. I sheer enjoy when I remembered each new Spanish word because it is important for me at this moment. I can't feel more confident when I don't know how to say something on diffrent language. By the way I learn languages by myself.
Thanks for sharing!
Sehr sympathisch💓💓
Dankeschön 😊
❤
Is there somewhere I can find a list or something off common phrases to learn?
I always tell myself, that I speak better spanish, than they speak czech wich is my mother tongue...that calms me

...About 80% with Spanish subtitles, knowing less than 5% of the words.
El hombre parece a Brandan Fraser

Saludos,
Pau
ayy qur lindo Jose . no estoy en focus
Any Spanish speaker here whom I can engage in my journey to learning Spanish? This my day 100 on duolingo 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Soy nuevo aquí. ¿De dónde es José? Él usa el pronombre ‘vos’ en lugar de ‘tú’. ¿Es él de Argentina? He estado aprendiendo un dialecto nicaragüense y ellos también usan la forma ‘voseo’.
I love your guys podcast and UA-cam page.its just the English subtitles are so distracting I wish there was a option to turn them off.

Hi!
I'm Pau and I'm from Mexico. Jose is from Bolivia, but has been living in Barcelona since he's 15
So there is some of both (;
In this conversation most of the time Jose was using.....creo yo que.....Is this normal in native language?
Yes (:
Also some people use
"Creo que..."
"Yo creo que..."
Saludos,
Pau

Girl, does your contract require you to smile or laugh constantly while on camera?
That's just me
Does your existence require you to behave like an asshole?
