I’m never taking my Spanish for granted anymore !! I feel bad who want to speak Spanish . But you guys don’t give up !! It will be easy once you get the hang of it!!
Thank you :)

Gracias Noemi. Eres muy hermosa
I really struggle but I refuse to give up!
De acuerdo
She is the best in teaching Spanish
"She is the best spanish teacher" is the correct way to say it.
James Dale Copeland what he said made sense, don’t be pretentious
Amazingly easy to understand when explained como asi!! Butterfly Spanish is lo mejor! The best!!
Michael Butler if you know the gender you might want to inflect it in that way
@@mahmoud-quran so would it be "Butterfly Spanish es la mejor?"
Even for us, Spanish speakers, it is difficult to understand or explain to someone the meaning of "se". You have done a wonderful job explaining this tough word. Bravo!
As a professional teacher myself, I want to compliment you! Your vibrant style of teaching keeps me focused on the screen, even during the most boring of subjects. Muchas gracias!, very well done! 👍
Ana, doesn't matter if you deep digger or dig deeper! You are a joy to watch and you bring an understanding that is unique, because you're real, and your joy for teaching comes right through. Thank you!
Your words melt in my heart. Muchas gracias por tus dulces palabras. Me da gusto que te gusten mis videos. Los hago con amor y con el corazón. Saludos. Cuídate mucho ;)
Tu eres el mejor maestra en UA-cam que tiene encontrar!
I am in Spanish school in Cosa Rica. The teachers should watch Ana's videos and learn how to explain concepts with such clarity. Muchissimo gracias Ana :-)
Imagine you in a conversation and you have to rapidly go through in your mind these four variations of when to use the word 'se' before responding. By the time you figured it out the speaker has shifted topics.
I had never noticed that Spanish is very difficult to learn, agradecido con el de arriba por haber nacido en México
Lol 😂
😅😅
I experience this a lot.
Exactly. Happens all the damn time to me.
Muchas gracias teacher , I am 11 years old and I love learning Spanish from you , thank you very much
My daughter is 10 and she's learning as well. Keep up the good work
@@julesfranko52 Almost. It is a literal way to translate it, but not accurate. The right way is: Muchas gracias maestra, tengo 11 años de edad y amo/me gusta aprender español con usted, muchas gracias. It's a common thing in every translation (in every language), that's why colloquial words or ways to say something in other language are so important. uwu
@@spideyosiris Ah thank you! I am still learning and I have to learn to think the way a spanish speaker would.
Good luck kid😊😊
Aww your 13 now
In a U.S. city with many Spanish speakers, we frequently see signs that say “Aquí se habla español”. That helps me remember one of the many uses of “se”.
That uses to bother me because the English equivalent is “Spanish spoken here” or “We speak Spanish,” none of which literally translates into normal Spanish. I had to learn to think in terms of the ideas, not the literal word for word phasing.
@@larrytruelove8659 Yup, that’s what happens when learning any other language. Me gusta/te gusta/le gusta, etc. is a similar concept. The hardest for me is (if I’ve got this right) “me rompió el brazo (en mi) “.
@KGS
thats a sad day in america
@@larrytruelove8659 , Spanish is difficult to remember all these!
"Se habla español" because the important thing is the action (verb), not the person that doesnt matter
you are the best. Thats the best explanation of "se" on the Internet. And so enjoyable to listen to. You were born to teach. Thank you.
He didn't go out and intentionally burned the rice. The rice got burnt while he was cooking it. Spanish really gets deep and covers every aspect of a situation.
I was so happy for Leo and Maria until they started fighting with each other.
hahahaha
Al menos empezaron besando.
Jajajaja...😄
Supongo que se casaron.😂
Haha😂
I've taken Spanish lessons in Spain and Mexico, but I never had such a great teacher - tan simpatica. I'm going to follow the entire series. Thank you Anna.
I've watched 2 other videos and met with a tutor over Zoom. This is the only resource that has made any sense. Thank you, Anna!!
You are absolutely the best Spanish teacher online
Your passion for your subject and your warm personality always make me smile. You were born to teach! ❤
I’d need to watch this a FEW MORE times. 😉
Rick, you ol' dog.
LAFC BnG yep AND then some. 😅
Yes it is difficult because it doesnt exist in english. Greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina
yo amo esta maestra mucho the way she teaches.
I'm learning Spanish "on my own". This video was amazing and provided so much clarification. Thank you !!!!
No sé porqué veo esto si mi idioma natal es Español, pero me encanta tu manera de explicar. Aprendí inglés viendo tu video, es maravilloso, ah y también me di cuenta lo complicado que es nuestro idioma. 😂
No es muy díficil, estoy aprendiendo.... 😅
*difícil Your tilde was in the wrong place, a little more difficult than you might think.
Haha I love how carefree this girl is. Great vid. A big thank you.
You gave me the will to learn Spanish again.
Thank you so much.
She is such a good teacher!
Ana, this has been the best lesson that I've seen on the topic of 'SE'!
I really appreciate your effort and intellect!
Your Spanish lessons are absolutely amazing! These are the best Spanish teaching videos I have ever found. You explained Spanish grammar clearly and specifically. I love your videos very much. I'm Chinese. But Chinese Spanish teachers don't pronounce Spanish very well. I've always wanted to learn from a native speaker. Your videos are definitely the best choice. ♥️
说到点子上了😊
Best lesson on UA-cam!
Your mannerisms are just so fun to watch, you make learning spanish entertaining!
You are an amazing teacher, Ana. This video is really educational and you've explained the various uses of 'se' amazingly well. You have no idea how long I've searched online for this information. 😁 Please continue doing what you do. You're the best! 👍
I've been trying to understand "Se" for over 15 years. And now, finally... . Thank you.
Anque es una lectura larga, pero la cosa mas imprtante es que es muy divertido. Mucho gratis a tú señorita. Estas el mejor!❤
Ana is super helpful and a super spanish teacher. Mexicans are awesome people!
My Spanish is coming along but getting a grasp on "se" was a bit difficult. This is a very helpful video. Thanks.
Ive learned more Spanish with you than I have in school. Lol. Youre the best!
Ella tiene el regalo de enseñar
AI fin hay una maestra que saber como enseñar. Dios bendiga la mujer mucho
Tengo 65 años y vivo en Phoenix. Estoy en mi tercer semestre en el colegio comunitario local. Tus métodos de enseñanza son muy valiosos para mi.
Eres un ejemplo a seguir,un saludo cordial desde españa
I love the way you break it all down to the underlying concepts. It's interesting because we can see how our language shapes our thinking for better or worse.
‘The homework was forgotten to be done’ 😂👏🏻😭love it
The car was stolen ...and is somehow in my driveway....
amandahhh anne the homework got lost
Definitely gonna pull this line out on my spanish teacher whenever i dont do it. "I didn't forget, it was just forgotten to be done, silly homeworks fault.
jaja
It used to bother me that Spanish speakers spoke this way. Now I understand it's a cultural norm. In English we are taught from a very young age to use first person and take responsibility for our actions. "I lost the keys", not "the keys were lost" for example
Eres más informativo que muchos profesores en UA-cam. Simplemente la mejor clase que he visto. Muchas gracias por una gran clase.
She’s the best. I have been on this journey for a long time. She teaches in a way native English speakers can understand Spanish.
Thank you soooo much for this video!!!!! I've been so confused by se and no one can explain it like you
Me da mucho gusto que hayas aprendido algo. Me hace feliz feliz como una lombriz.
@@ButterflySpanish jaja gracias. Te amo, lombriz. Necesito aprender mucho más porque pienso que quiero ir al San Juan por 4 o 5 meses después colegio

Spanish is one of my favorite subjects. It just interests me.
You are amazing teacher English in the world
Este vídeo se abriendo tan mucho para mi. No puedo te digo tan mucho de alegría me da usted. ❤️
As an ardent learner of the Spanish language from far off India I would like to thank Anna for her wonderful efforts to help me. Her highly presentable and friendly approach in teaching Spanish has encouraged me. Though it's difficult for a beginner to learn this beautiful language as Spanish speakers, still I am doing my best. Her useful videos help me a lot to pick up the basics. I am hoping for the day when I would be able to speak fluent Spanish and write to her this update in her language. Thanks Anna once again. Keep up the good work.
Jayanta Chakrabarty Impressive English, however in UA-cam comment sections we are more informal. Just wanted to let you know.
Jayanta Chakrabarty I am also spanish language learner as hobby, what motivates you learn Spanish ?
Yes Ana, thanks for being you!
@@justafighter1346 Greetings JusTAfighter! I think what he communicated was just fine. He was kind and polite. Let's not start policing people on such silly matters. Peace be with you.
Hola assi yo teguta es se convessaciònne
You are excellent at teaching Spanish. I have learned more in a week then a year at school. Thank you.
You are a perfect teacher.
You are a very good Instructor. And an excellent teacher.
I was so confused about the word ‘Se’ .. Now, I got a better understanding .. Thanks Ana !!
Best explanation of the use “se” ever! Thanks Ana.
and to all who are teaching in you tube gracias!! more power!!
She is so personable, kind and so sweet. She’s really trying to help people and the way she teaches is so heartwarming. I like her a lot and I can’t wait to watch and learn from her other videos. Thank you for teaching me Spanish.😃
I love you Anna! You're making my Spanish learning process much more easier and fun! And I love your personality. I wish all teachers were just like you
no puedo agradecerte suficiente por sus maravilliosos videos prof.Anna..mil y milliones gracias 👏👏👏😍
Thank you so much! I could not wrap my head around the word "se" and why it's used the way it is.
Now I need to practice "se" along with everything else. Haha.
Excellent teacher!
At last some one that can explain Spanish even I can understand. Muchos gracias.
In Italian we have the same which is "SI" and I never event thought about it! So difficult to explain! Well Done !!
And doesn't your "si" also mean "yes" as well?
Never change. Never change anything. The world will become a little bit worse if you do.
Pero el cambio es bueno :)

@@marineastro Great! We have a grammar cop in the Spanish comments. Hey grammar cop you didn't spell sí correctly. Alt-161 makes an í ALt-160 á Alt-130 é Alt-162 ó Alt-163 ú AND Alt-0161 and ALT-0191 for ¡ and ¿ Geez! lol
@@BobMarley-bp6sh Hi,
because this is a video dedicated to things like grammar, I don't think it's really inappropriate to correct something someone is saying. I realize that I didn't use the correct accent but I'm well aware that it belonged there. Often times natives don't add accents for whatever reason. In my case, It becomes a hassle. I know how to add accents, but I'd rather get my point across when I'm writing without spending so much time. It's another story if I'm typing in word. There, it is very easy to add a accents and you don't need to memorize 7 number combinations to do it.
You gave so much sense to, which to me, a confusing part of speech. I appreciate your style of presentation of the subject matter. So understandable. Thank you.
Such a brilliant and lovely lady, with knowledge and humor.
You've got great teaching energy - and tons of useful information! Thanks so much!
"We'll puncture your tires for free" That's hilarious, I love the comedic touch!
It is not a comedic touch, it actually happens in Mexico, people don't want cars parked in front of their house
@@L.D.G.J but why dont they have the cars towed?
I really love the way you teach lessons
Muchas gracias Anna
just one of the best ever fun methods of teaching "real life" Spanish. Ana, this is just so easy to understand the way you express and show us how to say and understand this beautiful language. I wish French could be taught with a similar set of videos like this as that is a language I just can't get my head around and also would like to learn. Spanish seems so much easier to remember but the real skill is in training the ear to understand the sounds. The additional words you are speaking is an added bonus to us as it really helps in picking the sounds of words up and to relate this to the lesson. Keep up this super work. Tu eres una estrella.
Thank you again as always, ButterFly!
Excellent instructor! ¡Muchas gracias!
What a great teacher!!This is Awesome!!!!
Not to be confused with the verb meaning "I know": Sé (with accent over e)
Yo sé tu sabes el/Vd. sabe nosotros sabemos vosotros sabéis ellos/Vds. saben
You just stress it it sounds like you say seeeeee but in se its simple se
Sé is also ser tú command
Or "Sé" of I taste myself. Yo sé a sal means I taste myself like salt
This was VERY INSIGHTFUL! 🤗 Best lesson I’ve seen on UA-cam for this blasted word “se” 🤣💯
You are a fantastic teacher; thank you so much!
Wow! You are the best Spanish teacher EVER! YUP!
Your teaching skills is so good anyone can understand around the world.. Keep doing your work.. Love Dave:)
This is the lesson where I feel like everything just finally clicked regarding Se. I've only been searching for the last 2 years. It's good to see butterfly Spanish is still going strong! This was the first channel I came across on UA-cam 2 years ago when I started learning. I've just returned to the channel looking for this episode! Muchas Gracias Ana!
Thank you for explaining "se" I finally understand it. You are the best Spanish Teacher I have ever heard and I have heard a lot of them. Your are also very beautiful. Thanks
You are the BEST Spanish teacher God bless
"nobody does it, it just happens here" LOL 15:58
That's one lesson I was hoping for,thoses courses are so entertaining to watch, I would watch them even if you were not teaching anything ahah! I would love it if you could make one on some small but confusing words like Lo,Le,La included in phrases, in questions, etc.. Keep it up!:)
Understood everything until you got to the end part 😱 great lesson thankyou. 👏👏👏
Best teacher on the internet! Love her!
7:22 Reciprocity. Wow, you are teaching me English words in addition to the Spanish lesson
Thank you
This is the best explanation of se thank you.
She is a very good teacher ! I also love her humor! Very enthusiastic!
I don't think I'll ever fully comprehend accurately when to use "se" and when it's not needed.
Hello, here a native spaniard! You wont understand how to use "se" unless you get used to speak spanish since you are a kid. Actually, "se" has got a lot of functions grammarly talking. Most of the time we use se to talk about someones who is doing something to himself or just when 2 or more people are doing something each other. Rarely, when a sentence hasnt got any subject, the sentence starts with se (Se busca casa, Se alquila vivienda...) Most of the time, these "se" need to go with the verb, otherwise the sentence is meaningless or the meaning is changed.
Take heart, it is not very difficult, you will learn it definitely if you read newspapers and magazines (and also works of literature), like Ana says.
Jesucristo Salvador
good
Jesucristo Salvador the word “se” is equivalent to the word “on” in French and sometimes it’s used as an improper way to say “we” or “them” or some actions happening to oneself.. it’s tricky word I have to say as there’s no equivalent in English..
IT's easy to learn if you talk with native speakers and they correct to you. Me and te are easier than, les, las, los (neutral). But le, and se are most difficult. That was difficult for me when I was a kid and I am native speaker. But I got learn it.
"Se" is the bane of my Spanish learning experience. That and the "personal a". And remembering indirect object pronouns. Oh boy, I think I might be the bane of my Spanish learning experience. Anywho, great video as always!
Lol. So many "if it wasn't for ____ I have this is the bag" situations and it changes like the wind.
For some reason I haven't figured out how to think of the object pronouns. I know they come before the verb but when the sentence continues past the verb I get confused. Like "te voy a ir dejando" that I heard in a song.
I'm going to go you I'm leaving?
I'm going to go I'm leaving you?
I'm going you to go I'm leaving ?
In my mind putting them before the verb breaks my English brain.
@@princelenca524 Thanks for the reply. After making that post I really came to the conclusion that songs are a bad way of gaining grammar but a good way to remember vocabulary. Just thinking about how bad the grammar is in English songs makes it obvious. Grammar is secondary to song flow and sound. You have to hit the rhyme at all cost. lol
Me enamorada este clase! Me enamorada esta profesora!!
No complaints here, you’re the best!

Beside from Duolingo, I also like taking your lessons. It helps me with the questions i got stuck in my head. I hope you teach us more by making more vids ❤️🙏🏻
How is your Spanish going for you?
You re Genious at teachin! It is clearly your thing.
This helped so much. I love watching her videos
"What on cloud nine is..." - that was funny:) I like Ana's looks. Does it make me a weirdo?:) Then so be it))
Damn, Spanish grammar is so damn identical to Polish. Literally everything in this video, the same rules apply for Polish, so I understood exactly what she meant.
I'm glad I chose Spanish over French lmao
ikr ja przetlumaczylam to sobie jako "sie" ale cieżko bylo w ostatnich przykładach przetłumaczyć dosłownie
I studied French for five years in school, and I still remember quite a bit. People always say that French and Spanish are similar, and it’s true! There are many things- in particular the numbers that I’ve noticed- that are very similar. Ex: F- une S- Uno f- deux s- dos F-trois S- tres and so on
@Yoel Armas Macías Huh, first time I heard that term- interesting though
For the life of me I DO NOT KNOW how i never noticed this channel before today!!! Truly a remarkable personality and splendid teacher. BRAVO!
You are the best Anna ❤ muchas gracias Maestra
Of course, the most famous example of passive impersonality in English is, "Mistakes were made": Se cometieron errores
Just repeated the same line above especially for politicians "mistakes were made" well yeah dude, (to the politician) you're the one who made them!
"se" is simple for Polish people. We have "się", which has exactly the same meaning, and use, and purpose as "se". The only difference "się" never changes, it's always the same in all persons.
edit: We also move responsibility onto objects but not that often apparently. "Se me olvidó hacer la tarea" sounds a little funny. We use it, in fact, to make our mistakes appear less serious. Something like: "It just happened to me that I forgot to do the home work.". But you can't make fun of all your mistakes, so we don't use it too often.
Muy bien. Tenemos algo en común :0
o witam Polaków 😂🙂
Que interesante!
typical Polish pedantry
It is a common old Indoeuropean linguistic heritage. No need tu say Italian and French have the same "se"
This has made the word ‘Se’ so much clearer in the different contexts. Thankyou x
