¡Aprende inglés conmigo! bit.ly/3sdEklR
Hola, I'm Nate. I used to not know any Spanish at all, and I had no interest in learning the language. I thought learning Spanish would be boring, a waste of time, and would provide no value to my life. Then I started taking Spanish classes in high school and everything changed for me. I struggled with learning the language a lot at first, but thanks to my teachers and my Spanish speaking friends, they helped make the learning process fun. Within a few months, I had gotten to a conversational level, but more important, I had become a more confident person. The real win for me, though, was the friendships I made and strengthened. I discovered that not only did I have higher self esteem, but being out in the real world with people, whether old friends or new ones I met, made me feel more alive and connected with the world around me. Now it's my goal to create videos that make you smile and inspire you to learn Spanish or another language!

Not everyone that learns languages cares about speaking, to be honest! Besides, speaking is the least important part when it comes to getting a native-like pronunciation - it’s all about being truly fluent, that is, being native speaker level, which means one has to know at least 10.000 base words (15.000 or 16.000 words or more) and one needs to be real used to hearing it, so one must remember both the spelling and the pronunciation of each word (each word must be learnt with its spelling and pronunciation) and one must have an automatic Spanish mode, which automatically develops if one gets a lot of ėxpøsúre to the language and learns over 10.000 base words! However, the R should be pronounced softly in all languages because hard / rolled Rs sound bæd and harsh, so I always use normal soft Rs! To be honest, I don’t even care about speaking - I just want to know the languages that are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, and I want to learn all the words or at least most words that exist in the dictionary in each pretty language! I learned Spanish 100% passively in childhood by watching a lot of TV series and movies in Spanish and listening to lots of songs with lyrics in Spanish, so I am native speaker level in Spanish and I have an automatic Spanish mode, which means I can automatically type or say things in Spanish without having to think about it!
Have you heard of the "Mexican" Word of the Day memes?
Mexico is now USA's top trading partner and now has a larger economy than Spain so I think Mexican Spanish is more pragmatic now
It’s not if you live in Europe, I haven’t met any Mexicans in my country.
@@jamesgreenldn You're probably more inclined to see more British citizens than Americans in certain parts of Europe so it would be more practical to learn European variants of those languages than the others based on geography. In an economic sense, the American variants are more useful
Unless your from europe
For Americans, especially Mexican-Americans, the vowel sounds are a common instant tip-off that you're not from Mexico. For example the letter "i". In Spanish it is always "ee" whereas in English it can be a short vowel sound as in the "i" in "important". Even fluent Mexican-American Spanish speakers from the US can inadvertently say a Spanish word with an American vowel sound as in the word "importante" where we may say it as "emportante" that will sound like a nail on a chalkboard to Spanish speakers. Even knowing the right words can be tripped up by reflexively using the English vowel sound. Unlike English, all Spanish vowels have one sound and one sound only. I usually stress to people learning Spanish to practice the vowel sounds over and over until they become habit. The reverse is also true, it's often the vowel sound that will trip up someone speaking English with Spanish vowel sounds.
Being an English speaker really has nada to do with it - technically, one with logic would instantly know that A is an A sound, not an EI, and that I is an I sound, not an AI, and so on, and that EI / EE / AI / OU / IU are just the way the letters are called in English, not the main sounds that those letters make! Besides, speaking is the least important part when it comes to getting a native-like pronunciation - it’s all about being truly fluent, that is, being native speaker level, which means one has to know at least 10.000 base words (15.000 or 16.000 words or more) and one needs to be real used to hearing it, so one must remember both the spelling and the pronunciation of each word (each word must be learnt with its spelling and pronunciation) and one must have an automatic Spanish mode, which automatically develops if one gets a lot of ėxpøsúre to the language and learns over 10.000 base words!

@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 Has nada to do with it? English is pretty much *the* language known for its vowels being pronounced in so many different ways. And there's a reason they're named EI / EE / AI / OU / IU -- ate, these, rite, wrote, use. We pronounce these letters in those ways all the time. It's not out of he question for some people to default to those common pronunciations when saying more "English-y" words in Spanish (such as the example of "importante").
Those are the modern sounds that are in fact diphthong sounds, as they are usually not one sound, but 2 sounds said 2gether, while the original sounds of those vowels are the normal a / e / i / o / u sounds that are one-sound only that are also used in Spanish and Latin etc - like, even though in English, the letter a is called ei and the letter i is called ai, it still doesn’t change the fact that a is still an a and i is still an i, which is why one naturally knows to pronounce them a and i / y if one is reading a word in another language that has the letters a and i!
Besides, there are English words like barn that use the normal a sound, as opposed to using one of the diphthong sounds or an e sound etc!
Learn the vowels and you’re done. The vowels never change
It's all about the mustache! I'm sure that's the trick lol
Buen trabajo, dude!
Aw man, I knew it was real when you said learn the alphabet first. That is so fundamental. I am showing this to my girlfriend, because I agree completely. Thanks, brother
It's funny how similar the vowel sounds are in Mexican-Spanish and Italian
TBH, they’re basically the same language
3 years of trying and I still can’t do the double RR 😂
I’m sure you have, but try saying this about 100 times starting slow. I like this version best, but there are others that are probably more common. Maybe start with just tapping the doble erres and then start trilling.
Erre con “erre” cigarro,
“erre” con “erre” barril.
Rápido corren los carros,
Detrás del ferrocarril.
¡Salud!
Wow 😮
@@fernandofigueroa6568 not sure what to say to that 😂
The soft normal R should be used in any language, because the rolled R doesn’t sound good, anyway, and isn’t even a natural sound - it literally sounds like an engine starting! 😂

Bro talks like peso pluma 🤣🤣🔥 your accent is really good you sound like you're from sinaloa actually or guanajuato
You're so good. You sound like a whitexican and that is so good heree
Bro speaks better Spanish than me, and Spanish is my first language 🤡
Listen, listen, listen? I live in the US. When do I have a day where I don't hear Spanish? It's as common as English where I live. And that's pretty cool.
He sounds like Chris from family guy
Hey Nate, I'm a longtime fan. I just want to point out that at the very beginning of the video you pronounce your bienvenidos as "benvenidos." I'm surprised to see no one has mentioned it. I don't know if that's a regional thing you've picked up from somewhere but it sounds very weird to me.
I also wanna say that I respect Nate's hard work and content, but his "o" sound is off a lot of times, as well as the "c" in "carro" @3:00, where he does an explosive "c" sound just as if he were pronouncing it in English.
I don't wanna sound like I'm discrediting him though, but there are a few other observations that I could make. Nonetheless, good job Nate!
forgot to mention also words that ends with da it's pronounced liked tha like Nada it's pronounced like Natha
I'm hoping I didn't miss it in this video, but the one thing I can't seem to figure out is the way to pronounce Y in Mexican Spanish. I hear most people (not specifically Spanish speakers from Mexico) pronounce it as you would in English (eg. "yo" is "yo"), but occasionally I'll hear "yo" pronounced with a hard J sound like "joe" in English. In fact, the same with "ella" (meaning it's pronounced like "AY-jah" rather than "AY-yah"). I've seen multiple sources saying that the hard J is the correct pronunciation and asked a coworker from Mexico City who said the hard J sound is correct. What is correct???
Immersion is sadly not always the answer. I think some people just have an ear for accents and some people don’t. Just look at some Hollywood actors and how some work really hard for an accent and still sound terrible, and then you’ve got Meryl Streep. I’ve lived in Mexico for 10 years and learned Spanish young so, I’m fluent, but I still can’t get the accent. 😢 My heavy French accent is always a good icebreaker though. It’s always the guessing game of if I’m from France or Quebec (🇨🇦!). But I definitely focus most on interacting daily with folks and listening to movies, TV shows, and podcasts. I’m going to try listening to more music! Thanks for the tip!
Ricardo Arjona es el mejor!! Me encanta su música.
i'm mexican but speak with a more peruvian spanish
bro speaks better spanish than me
Well, of course he does! 😂 You don’t have to tell us that, mate
Im quite curious. Why do we need the accent? I get pronouncing things correctly, but we dont expect a chinese person to sound American or a french person living in england to have an english accent....
maybe for fun bro idk
You don't need it.
If you pronounce it correctly, the accent comes naturally.
I think there’s nothing wrong with an accent. That being said, a native-like accent can allow you access to a different level of the culture or society. Look at the familiarity he had with those Mexican girls. And he won’t stand out as a foreigner.
Also, it’s just fun. I love imitating other people’s accents because it’s fun.
@zerjiozerjio yeah what's wrong with standing out as a foreigner though? You are a foreigner haha.
Clickbate.
They confused you as being Mexican in the first 2 seconds.
as a white south american ( i know it sounds confusing i dont have time to explain) ok anyways, as a white south american i wanted to sound more hispanic cuz my hispanic freinds are calling me gringo... but i know all of this things and i know how to roll my rs.... WHY AM I BEING CALLED GRINGO
is that pastor jeff
I don’t necessarily love Spain culture and don’t really want a spanish accent from Spain..pero, a mi me gusta mucho música de España
Who in the world, needs M accent
I want improve my English, which free apps did you talk about in your video?

Same goes for English - if one wants to improve the vocab and speaking in English and get fluent in English, one must learn over 10.000 base words, and each word must be learnt with its pronunciation and spelling in English and in all other pretty languages, but it’s better to learn over 25.000 base words and idioms etc in English because English has a lot more words and slang and idioms than other languages, so one should learn as many words as possible, by watching lots of vocab vids with thousands of words, and then when getting to a really advanced level, one should watch a lot of movies and videos in English with only the English subs! This is the best and fastest language learning technique, which starts with lots of vocab videos watched multiple times over a period of time aka spaced repetition (in the beginning, each vocab video should be watched twice or thrice on the first day and then once every few days or every week, until all words can be remembered automatically) and, a lot of ėxpøsúre to the language by watching a lot of videos and movies with subs in the target language when one knows enough thousands of words to be able to figure out the meaning of most new words and idioms from the context, and developing good pattern recognition skills etc! I naturally have great pattern recognition skills and great observational skills and great analytical skills, so it’s very easy for me to learn many new languages at the same time, and I use the best methods - I started learning languages on my own about 9 months ago, and now I am advanced level in Dutch, having learnt over 8.000 base words, and intermediate level in Norwegian / German / Swedish and Portuguese, and beginner level in Welsh / Icelandic / Breton / Frisian / Hungarian / Faroese / Occitan / Gallo / Aranese / French / Burgundian / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic / Italian / Galician / Catalan / Danish / Cornish / Luxembourgish / Guernsey / Limburgish / Norn / Gothic / Old Norse / Old English / Old Dutch / Vandałic / Slovenian / Afrikaans (by Frisian, I meant all three Frisian languages, namely West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian, and I am also learning all languages based on these languages that are referred to as dialects, but they are in fact different languages, especially the Italian-based languages, and the West-Vlaamse + Oost-Vlaamse Dutch-based languages and the German-based languages such as Ripuarian and Low Dietsch etc and the French-based language that’s spoken in Belgium such as Wallon / Picard / Lorrain / Champenois and Yola and the Scots Doric language etc) and the other pretty languages that are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, which is extremely overwhelming!
There are more videos and yts teaching English than any other languages on yt, so it’s very easy to learn English nowadays, just by watching videos! Plus languages such as English and Dutch are super easy to learn - they are the prettiest and most refined languages ever with the most pretty and poetic words and the easiest languages ever with the most relaxing aspect / format which is the easiest to read / type / learn etc, and they require less repetitions because one tends to remember / learn the prettier and more distinctive words faster! It’s also easy to learn all other pretty languages that have many yts that teach them, though there are some pretty languages like Faroese and Breton and the three Frisian languages and Old Norse and Gothic and Old English and Luxembourgish and Norn and Gallo etc that don’t have many yts teaching them, so learning those is a real challenge because it’s not easy to find resources, but I am still learning them little by little, mostly by memorizing lyrics and trying to figure out the meaning of each word by observing them and comparing them to words in similar languages, and also by trying to find videos on yt that teach them, as there are still a few videos that teach vocab and some grammar etc!
This guy needs to humble himself.
This all feels super generic. What do you mean, "if you don't have a specific Spanish accent in mind that's okay". This is supposed to be a Mexican accent video! You can't even commit to that IN the Mexican accent video? Not to mention the regional differences within that.
GO RAIDERS
The "double LL" letter in Spanish is surely NOT called "double LL" even if it looks that way to us.
Unfortunately, there really is not always an easy way to "spell" the way a letter sounds when you speak the name of the letter. As for the letters i and y, well ... Spanish uses two different letters i -
Yes, one is called the i Latina - the Latin i. And the other one is called the i Griega - the Greek i.
And in Spanish, the rr letter is NOT called the "double R."
Yes, the Spanish Z sounds like an English S. However, Spanish does actually have an English Z sound.
But it's indicated by the letter S. Yes, that's right - by the letter S. For example, in the word mismo, and in many other words. In Spanish, the letter S has the sound of a letter Z only when it is preceded by a vocalized constant. For example, the letter m in the word mismo is a vocalized consonant, meaning you need to vibrate your vocal chords to pronounce the letter correctly in that word. Therefore, when you say "mismo" in Spanish, you should actually be pronouncing it as ... MEEZmo. People will still understand you otherwise, but your English accent will just be more noticeable.
Putting on a fake accent is cringe af. If you acquire one naturally that's another story but the forced one is the worst
Why is it cringe? Let people learn how they want to learn. I think it's far worse when your accent is so strong that it's hard to understand you. I'd rather see people imitate what they hear than be ashamed and sound like the typical "gringo".
If you ain't gonna learn the accent why you learning Spanish in the first place, in my opinion, either learn how to speak right or don't learn the language at all
