I’m taking Spanish 1 at my community college. My last Spanish course was 50+ years ago. To say that learning Spanish again, is an understatement. I’m hoping your songs and videos will help me with this! Thanks! Your sing is catchy!!
Your videos have helped so much throughout the years. Gracias I study several languages as a hobby, and oh how I wish there were other channels for other languages with as much content as yours.
Thanks, Aaron! I'm glad that you were able to learn through my channel. I'm flattered that you think other channels should emulate what I've tried to accomplish!
We just started working on reflexive verbs in my Spanish class and I cannot thank you enough for this song. I'm about to check out all of your other songs--this is definitely right in my learning style. ¡Muchas gracias!💛
Señor Jordan, I don't know if you will see this comment, but if you do, I just want to say thanks for these videos. At first, I hardly knew anything at all about Spanish, and I don't even have Spanish class yet (my school only has 2 years of Spanish)! I tried to write down words and phrases to remember, but it didn't work. I then tried this app called "Duolingo" and it's great, but it never really explained why certain nouns, adjectives, and verbs were written the way they were. I went on articles online, they really didn't help me either, they were not as interactive as Duolingo. So finally, I went on to UA-cam, and typed in "Spanish Lessons" and I found your channel. I since watched your videos about verbs and nouns, and it has really helped me. Your channel has made all the difference to me with learning Spanish. You make me happy to learn, and I know because of your channel, I will never fail Spanish. Without you, I would never be where I am to day. You have been making these videos for 8 years, and they are still helpful. Don't listen to negative people on this channel saying things like "your videos suck" or "I hate this guy" just know that what you are doing is affecting and inspiring at least one person out there. Gracias, Señor Jordan
Malik, Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad the video lessons have been helpful to you (and others)! It is incredibly kind of you to write such a long and thoughtful comment to balance out the negativity. Unfortunately the most vocal people tend to be the most negative as they seek to fill a void in their lives. Hope all is well! Please keep me updated on your progress! ;-) Sincerely, Señor Jordan
Senor Jordan I will, thanks :) Oh, also, there is this lady who is friends with my mom that wants to learn Spanish. I suggested that she watches and learns from your videos :)
Hola Jordan... Soy profesor de español y nativo de la lengua. Debo felicitarte por tu canal. Me lo comentó una amiga y la verdad eres increíble. Haces que lo difícil sea muy fácil. Tomé el abuso y descargue tus vídeos para usarlos en mis clases. Tu español es excelente. Te felicito mucho. Eres un modelo a seguir. Se que realizar los vídeos toma mucho tiempo, dedicación y preparación. Espero que sigas contribuyendo. Haces un trabajo excelente.
I've struggled with reflexive verbs for years because to me they seem incorrect, but now that I'm immersed in a Spanish-speaking country I really want to understand the logic behind it. This was absolutely adorable and so helpful. I'll be singing this for the rest of the afternoon to remember. New subscriber!
You sir have just made learning Spanish fun again. I was really struggling with Objecto Directo, indirecto and reflexive verbs. I just couldnt get my head around the rules while learning it in a weekly class room format, with the whiteboard and so on. Nothing wrong with our teacher its just that I wasn't picking it up while other, more academic type people seem to have no problems. Learning was becoming stressful because I was walking out of class feeling kind of stupid. I watched a few of your videos and the penny just dropped. I get it now! Thankyou. Onward and upward.
Rumpole Del Bailey Thanks for taking the time to comment and letting me know that my videos have been able to help you! Please let me know if something is still unclear! :-)
You are very helpful! I'm in Spanish 122 and feel like it's terribly difficult because the teaching style from professor to professor varies so much. You are explaining everything so well. Please keep posting !!!
@Ismael Pinzon, Unfortunately, you don't have your account enabled for me to respond directly. But here goes! Cállense = "everyone shut up!" It's a command. "que se callen" = another way of saying "everyone shut up / I wish they'd shut up / I wish you'd all shut up" using the present subjunctive. "se callan" = a description of something that happens, "they/you all shut up"
Jordan, ¡amo tus videos! A pesar de ser una native Spanish speaker, it helps me for my classes, due I'm mostly an ESL English Teacher, which it's kinda confusing... I know. Anyway, ¡no pares de subirlos, por favor! ¡Me encantan! In fact, I'm subscribed to it on my 2 google accounts to your channel, that good are your videos!
for those who want to learn how to play it strumming pattern is DD DUDU (down, down down, up down, up for those who don't know) if this is too hard just try down, down, up and if that is too hard down, down, down if you already know how to play chords skip to the bottom. first string is the one farthest away from you fourth is the one closest to you. frets are the little boxes created by the strings and those straight bars going across your fretboard. a fretboard is the front of the neck of your ukulele. to play notes you hold down the strings in between those bars to make different chords. to play a D chord go down to the second row of boxes and hold your first finger on the forth string.

Practice playing before adding singing. if you want have someone else sing so you can focus on playing or maybe that extra person can do the clapping if you want. D A A reflexive verb in Spanish ends in se. A D First you gotta get the se out of the way. G D then the verb you have to change and the se you rearrange A D and the se becomes: me, te, nos, os, or se hope this helps
Hola Sr. Jordan , desde el punto de vista de una española que tambien es profesora de la lengua, Ud. ha sido la inspiracion de muchos. Gracias por todo y continue sus videos par que aprender el español sea mas facil y entretenido. Gracias otra vez
¡Gracias por escribir un comentario tan lindo, Manuela! Me da gusto saber que mis videos pueden ayudar no solo a los aprendices sino también a los profesores. :-) ¡Salude a sus estudiantes desde mi parte por favor!
I find your videos very helpful, easy to follow, and I understand proper Spanish speaking a little better after every short video of yours I watch. Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for making these songs, it's the only way I can get a concept ingrained in my head. I have a test tomorrow and I have been watching your videos all night
I am learning Spanish and was first introduced to your videos through the course. Your videos, I look forward to the most because of the manner in which you do the explanations. I am now going through several of your videos on youtube and they are really impressive especially the songs. Keep up the good work.
I must say it, I'm Spanish and this video turned out really fun to me, but I think the time and effort put into it and the rest of your videos are worth it so here's my like
Well at least you got the Teacher part right..... but thats what makes you special! and goes back to my original comment. Taking the time and Courage to help others for their sake, is pretty damn special, so thanks again! Senor Jordan
This song is amazing to learn Spanish because it fun to learn different languages because in school I am doing Spanish reflexive verb thank you for your help
Hi Jordan! I think you are the BEST.language teacher on UA-cam (really!). I'm not a regular follower of your videos, but I've noticed that you offer EVERYTHING to your subscribers for learning Spanish (traditional classes, exercices, entertaining stories...) Nobody (here) takes care so much of his students as you do. I'm a UA-camr and I try to teach Italian, but my lessons are not as detailed and well conceived as yours. I hope you're a teacher in real life too! You even composed a SONG for them. That's awesome! Keep on making these videos! ;D Alberto (P.S.which software do you use for video editing?)
Hello Albo! Thanks for your kind and flattering comment! Grazie! I'm glad you think so highly of my videos. I hope to continue to make them! As far as my software, I use Final Cut Pro for video editing (chroma keying, general video editing) and most of the info on the screen in the videos over the last 2-3 years is from Keynote. It's like PPT but for the Mac. Let me know if you have anymore questions or things I can help with! I made some videos of my process for a teaching conference awhile back: ua-cam.com/play/PLPD6O-TouCqQ-RQmx9QW2ndtZbm3BqnDa.html Buona fortuna con il tuo canale!
Your videos help a lot! I like your catchy songs; they help me memorize grammar rules and conjugations easily. I still have the indirect objects song stuck in my head 😅
Thank you so much, I have a test tomorrow and I didn't understand any of it, I just sat down and watched like 5 of your videos and taught myself the entire unit!! Thank you!!!
this combines with your other reflexive verb video has helped me finally get the hang of this!! thank you so much! This has helped me as i couldn't understand it in my spanish class :( p.s. my previous spanish teacher recommended me to you!
I love your video so much!! thanks for your help! my grades will improve so much, I was very flustered in class today when I didn't understand this. Now with your help, i get it!
I never understood this stuff when I was in school. I can't believe its that easy and I'm only figuring out during finals. Thanks so much for your help :)
Check out the loop version of this song for studying (without the explanation)!

Holy crap, you just made me understand something with a 3 minute video and spending 5 hours on it.

Is anyone else reminded of wander from wander over yonder? He's such a nice, happy, fun guy and very easy to listen to :)
Can we give it up for this man who made an absolute banger of a song. Me and my Spanish class were belting this out loud.

Why are you wasting your time to read this
That is the least I could do to pay back for all of the help his Spanish videos have given me

I agree!
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise-this is amazing and I love you.
@Ismael Pinzon, Unfortunately, you don't have your account enabled for me to respond directly. But here goes!
Cállense = "everyone shut up!"
It's a command.
"que se callen" = another way of saying "everyone shut up / I wish they'd shut up / I wish you'd all shut up" using the present subjunctive.
"se callan" = a description of something that happens, "they/you all shut up"
Senor Jordan it's so catchy this helps me with Spanish in school
Thanks! Videos that include presenting the topic or lesson through a song always help me to remember the information a lot better.
Hey, studying for a spainish test on multiple chapters and your videos have saved my life! Thanks!!!!
taught me more in three minutes than my teacher in a whole month
Jordan, ¡amo tus videos!
A pesar de ser una native Spanish speaker, it helps me for my classes, due I'm mostly an ESL English Teacher, which it's kinda confusing... I know.
Anyway, ¡no pares de subirlos, por favor!
¡Me encantan! In fact, I'm subscribed to it on my 2 google accounts to your channel, that good are your videos!

to play a G chord go down to the second row of boxes and put your first finger on the third string. put your middle finger on the first string. go down to the third row of boxes and put your ring finger on the second string. use strumming pattern
make sure to keep your fingers in between the bars and not on them. make sure your fingers are pressing down on the strings and no other fingers are resting on the strings.
play each chord starting at the place it is shown in the song. Practice playing before adding singing. if you want have someone else sing so you can focus on playing or maybe that extra person can do the clapping if you want.
D A
A reflexive verb in Spanish ends in se.
A D
First you gotta get the se out of the way.
G D
then the verb you have to change and the se you rearrange
A D
and the se becomes: me, te, nos, os, or se
hope this helps
My Spanish teacher is glad that I am supplementing her teaching with your videos!
I like how they played this in my spanish lesson my teacher said it was annoying but i was vibin
