    As a 76 year young person, thank you for your brilliant videos. I’m learning such a lot and it’s never to late to start learning something new. It’s going to take me ages to go through your vast amount of videos. I’m starting with your beginner course, I’m on lesson 18. But I look forward to new ones if possible. Your attitude, sense of fun and dedication stands out as well as your clear, calm voice. Thank you again and good luck in everything you and your wife do. ❤🎉

      Thanks for the kind words. I commend you on your dedication to learning a new language. I am in my mid 50's and I am not sure I would want to take on that challenge at this point in my life unless I have to -- which may happen because my wife keeps talking about us moving to Italy. Seriously, she never stops talking about it. I'm happy to hear that you find the videos useful. It makes me feel more motivated to keep creating new content. Take care. :)

    It never occurred to me to do this in Spanish, but as you point out, we all do it in English all the time. A very useful tip. Thanks Paul!

    Lots of annoying Spanish channels out there, and several really good ones. I think yours is the best for practical conversation skills. Teaching style is right up the alley of us beginners striving to be intermediate

      Thanks Brett. I share tips and techniques that worked for me. You would be amazed at how many "official" Spanish teachers have contacted me to debate my "unusual approach" to learning....lol.

    Really happy to see you continuing this channel. It is the best I've seen on UA-cam (and I don't impress easily, either). You present things in a way that that puts things in a logical, and understandable, progression. I am hoping to make a trip to Mexico in the near future and you channel is the only one I've used since I first found it and am sure it will be the primary resource I use.

    I love all of the videos that I have seen on your channel. I have watched the entire from cero to conversational and the breaking out of beginner Spanish Playlists. I've also watched many of your other videos. You are the only reason that I know of the subjunctive as early as I do now. Learning as much as i have from your channel has motivated me to watch more videos in Spanish and to listen to more music in Spanish, even if it's Spanish covers of English songs with adjusted lyrics. I have noticed significant improvement in my understanding of Spanish. I still need to work on my execution of Spanish, but I know that that will come naturally in time as well if I immerse myself in the language more.
    ¡Muchas gracias por sus consejos y toda la información que he aprendido!
    P.S. Thank you DeepL for some help verifying my translation, also, thank you QrooPaul for advising me of word reference and DeepL. They are a big help.

    Hay que tomar tantas decisiones tan rápidamente para formar cada oración correctamente. 😱 ¡Madre mía! ¡Me duele la cabeza!
    Pero sí es verdad, podemos mezclar el presente con los pasados para contar una escena en un cuento. 😁 Gracias Qroo Paul por llamarme la atención a este truco.👍

    Thanks for the new vid, QrooPaul. Great to see you again. I minored in Espanol in college and I find there are areas you cover (like the subjunctive) which were not covered well for me back then. As an adult Gringo with a decent grasp of Spanish, I enjoy watching your vids. Keep it up brother.

    @ShizzleGizzleGizzenGar Рік тому

    It does help. A lot of youtube people make 2 minute videos and expect everyone to know what they are talking about.
    When I learned how to use the su junctive I thought that everything had to be subjunctive.
    The youtube community truly helps but 10 second videos aren't enough to grass the concept.

    I appreciate the vids! And I only say this in good humor, because you joke about it too, but ''upon ______(verb)'' like ''upon exiting the car'' is major COPSPEAK :) Akin to ''and then an *individual* approached me.'' Again, loved the video. I just found it funny.

      I do use several verbs in this particular video that I haven't used much -- if at all -- in other videos. The purpose of this video was to show people how they can use the present tense to tell stories that occurred in the past.
