    WHY THESE VIDEOS ARE THE BEST FOR LEARNING SPANISH
    * This video is part of a new series of short animations in the Spanish Input UA-cam channel.
    * The scripts of these animations are written using a list of the top 1,000 words in spoken Spanish. This helps you focus on the most useful words, words you'll hear all the time.
    * In today's video, the only words outside the top 1,000 are: Caras, cuello, dolores, estómago, médicos, pastillas and playa.
    * EVERY SINGLE word in this dialogue is among the top 5,000 words in spoken Spanish. This means every single word in the dialogue is worth learning, and you won't be wasting your time with rare words.
    You can download a list of the 5,000 most common words in spoken Spanish here:

    FUN FACTS
    * "Dolores" is an actual Spanish female name. It means "pains". Common shortened forms of "Dolores" are "Lola", "Loli" and "Lolita". Yes, "Lolita" means "Pains".
    * "Cuello" is an actual Spanish surname. It means "Neck". So in some corner of the world there must be a Señora Dolores married to a man with the surname Cuello. In other words, there must be a "Mrs. Pains In The Neck."

    * All the voice acting is my own. Part of it was altered with AI.
    * The hospital image at the beginning was created using Adobe Firefly.

    I started this video a couple times the other day, but got interrupted. Today I listened through fully once without subtitles. I started understanding more and more as the video went on. The next time I started the videos (again without subtitles) I understood the opening dialog much better and started cracking up at her name 🤣

    • @spanishinput
      @spanishinput  21 день тому

      Hi, James. Now that I think about it, it would be interesting to do a behind the scenes. In summary:
      -Come up with a funny idea
      -Carefully type the dialogues while avoiding words outside the target list (in this case, the top 1K words)
      -Record and clean up the audio
      -Alter the audio using AI to create the female voice
      -Buy some puppets and backgrounds from Electropuppet
      -Use them in Adobe Character Animator to animate each character separately (I followed the tutorials by Okay Samurai)
      -Write a script in Keyboard Maestro to make editing easier in Premiere
      -Edit in Premiere
      -Manually add subtitles using Subtitle Edit
      -Generate an English translation using DeepL and clean it up manually
      -Merge Spanish & English subs using the easypronunciation website
      -Publish to UA-cam
      -Painfully watch how the video is ignored by viewers while other videos that took a lot less time to create get tons of views

    I’m a total beginner and am confused about word order. “Me duele mucho el cuello” is rendered “my pain a lot the neck” in English. Is there a way to make sense of this going forward? A rule to follow, perhaps?

    • @timothym2241
      @timothym2241 3 місяці тому

      Seems common with reflexive verbs that you have already established that the action is yours by using “me”.

    • @spanishinput
      @spanishinput  3 місяці тому

      Hi. Literally it's "The neck pains me a lot". This is how we say it in Spanish. When talking about body parts, it's way more common to say "the neck", "the hand" instead of "my/your/his neck", etc.

    • @spanishinput
      @spanishinput  3 місяці тому

      Actually in this instance it's transitive, not reflexive. We never say "A la señora SE duele mucho el cuello", but "LE duele mucho el cuello". Literally, the body part is doing the action to the person.

    • @wierdpocket
      @wierdpocket 3 місяці тому

      @@spanishinput This helps. Actually what I meant was the word order itself, but you're response helped me understand what was going on. As written, word-by-word in English, it would read: "My hurts a lot the neck." but I need to think of it as, "It hurts a lot, my neck (does)" and then omit "does" and swap "it" and "my"
      This is very difficult for me to do. I hope this will become more natural over time!
