Not too long ago I visited your websites because I have been wanting to learn Spanish after reuniting with an old friend from Colombia SA. Now she is inviting me to visit her country next summer. So, I am thinking its about time to get started. I have some experience but not confident using the language. I understand a fair amount but always fall back to my comfort zone speaking English. I think you are an inspiration. I am also impressed with your use of media to teach and coach your followers. Thanks for making this possible for someone like me to gain confidence one day at a time.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and compliment! I really appreciate it and it is my absolute pleasure to help those who are out to learn this beautiful language as I know firsthand what a wonderful and worthwhile experience it can be! Best wishes! 😊
Wow! ..very well done...it is fast but you do say that you're gonna teach us fast. I'm gonna enjoy this very much as you move along so that I can actually improve my Spanish... thanks
Great video. Thank you for the taking the time to teach those of us who really want to learn Spanish. I cannot believe that you do all this for free. Awesome. May you be richly rewarded for your service to others.
This is perfect, I’m reading some comments, saying it’s fast. I guess I’m at an intermediate beginner level because I believe this is on point. I also use Pimsleur which is similar towards what she’s doing which is probably why I can understand faster
Profe que gran video pero seria mucho mejor si los subtitulo fueran en inglesh si no es mucha molestia pedirtelo desde lla mil gracias y por mas exitos ☺

‘ si Claro ‘? I hear that a lot. It does not help watching Telemundo or telenovelas. I have stopped watching them after a few years. I used to check out several videos at my library because the subtitles were in English . Now I am back to looking at Bollywood.
In Latin America you use the direct object pronouns "lo" for a male or "la" for a female. So it would have been "conocerla" had I been speaking to a female, but it's "conocerlo" in this case, as I'm speaking to a male . "Conocerle" is said too, it's quite common in Spain, and is also used here in Mexico sometimes. But as general rule using the direct object pronoun here is considered the most correct. You can Google the term "leísmo" for more info. :)
Yea I seen that after I read it on your video I just always thought lo was used for “him” or “it” but speaking to a person you would use te or le for formal..thanks for the lessons though!!
You are right. 'Me dio gusto conocerlo' would be' it gave me pleasure to meet him. Not sure why she didnt say 'le' here if she is talking to someone directly and formally. You cant really speak informal here because obviously the convo means you have only just met him so you cant really use 'te' but still 'te' is better than 'lo' when saying 'you' Maybe an error
I'll copy my response from above :) In Latin America you use the direct object pronouns "lo" for a male or "la" for a female.

"Conocerle" is said too, it's quite common in Spain, and is also used here in Mexico by some individuals. I've also heard some Guatemalans speak that way too here and I'm sure it's sometimes used in other countries as well. But the "rule" (by the book) use of the direct object pronoun, lo or la here is considered the most correct in Latin America. You can Google the term "leísmo" for more info. :) Or here's an interesting read in a forum where this was discussed: forum.wordreference.com/threads/tengo-gusto-de-conocerlo-conocerle-a-usted.3033301/

I understand the conversation, does that mean I'm leaning
Of course! Especially if you remember a time when you wouldn't have been able to understand it before 😊
Haha you can tell this was made in the first week of 2020 when we all assumed that we would be able to meet people.
😂😂
‘ si Claro ‘? I hear that a lot. It does not help watching Telemundo or telenovelas. I have stopped watching them after a few years. I used to check out several videos at my library because the subtitles were in English . Now I am back to looking at Bollywood.
Sí, claro = Yes, of course ☺️
Y eso tan rápido?, somos estudiantes no expertos.
Discúlpame si fue rápido. 🙊
Shouldn’t it be “me dio gusto conocerle” or me dio gusto conocerte..? I’ve never heard it used with someone using conocerlo
In Latin America you use the direct object pronouns "lo" for a male or "la" for a female. So it would have been "conocerla" had I been speaking to a female, but it's "conocerlo" in this case, as I'm speaking to a male .

Yea I seen that after I read it on your video I just always thought lo was used for “him” or “it” but speaking to a person you would use te or le for formal..thanks for the lessons though!!
You are right. 'Me dio gusto conocerlo' would be' it gave me pleasure to meet him. Not sure why she didnt say 'le' here if she is talking to someone directly and formally. You cant really speak informal here because obviously the convo means you have only just met him so you cant really use 'te' but still 'te' is better than 'lo' when saying 'you' Maybe an error
