- On this channel I make videos on topics in Spanish language and linguistics. Mostly phonetics and phonology, but also dialectology, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics. Many of my videos come from questions asked by viewers in the comment section.

Ten Minute Spanish, your channel is absolutely phenomenal. So phenomenal, in fact, that I think only a handful of people would have the capacity to appreciate and realize its worth. To be able to break down the phonetics of a language like this is nothing short of incredible and I, along with the rest of your subscribers, am so fortunate to have stumbled upon your videos. The gift that you are delivering is helping learners like me overcome the hands-down most difficult aspect of learning a new language. Thank you and may God bless.
This video really puts into perspective how much training and analysis becoming completely fluent actually requires
It's true. Speaking well, even speaking really well, is not the same thing as native-like fluency. Kimberly speaks very well. She could easily live, work, and/or study in a Spanish-speaking country and people would tell her that she spoke excellent Spanish. But having truly native-like fluency is a different thing that requires much more study, thought, and effort.
But that's the cool thing about foreign language. Depending on what your goals are, you can be very successful with it at every level of fluency. You don't have to be perfect to enjoy it and communicate successfully. And each level of progress has its own joys and successes.
@@tenminutespanish Thank you for making these videos. I'm being completely honest when I say that I've found no other channel like yours. I feel like your videos on more the phonetics of Spanish truly fill a gap in the sea of Spanish learning videos that exists on UA-cam.
Would you like to make an analysis of my pronunciation? I studied Spanish in secondary school (ages 14-17) and went to study Spanish in BCN for about five months at the age of 21. I'm now 25 years old, currently at uni, and I try to maintain and improve my Spanish by watching videos on UA-cam in or about the Spanish language. My native language is Swedish.
@@RedBar3D Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very happy you like my channel.
@@RedBar3D I would be very happy to do an analysis of your Spanish. I currently have a backlog of people who have sent me recordings, though. When I am ready to begin the next round of analysis, I'll put out a video calling for recordings. That will be about 6 months from now. Keep your eyes open and submit a request when I put out that video.
This has been one of the most helpful videos about pronunciation that I’ve heard. It brings together many of the individual components of Spanish phonetics. Thank you so much, professor.
@@CraigSchamp Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful.
She rolls her r’s beautifully! Thanks for the video!
Incredible analysis. I've been in Barcelona for 5 years now and would love to do this exercise once you request more. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I'll make an announcement for round 3 in maybe 6 months.
thank you for all these helpful videos！
I'm very happy you like them.
severely underrated. thanks for this
Thank you!

How come this awesome video only got these views?! what a big mystery!
Thank you for your kind words!
Amazing series! As a language enthusiast and long-time Spanish learner, I would love to volunteer for one of your analysis videos, if you are still looking for volunteers. I have a background in linguistics and have always found phonetics and phonology incredibly interesting and fun! Is there a process to sign up to be considered? Thanks so much for all you do!
Thanks for the kind words. I have a backlog of recording to analyze, so I won't be accepting any more submissions for the time being. When I'm ready to accept more, I'll put out a video requesting more.
Can you make a video about the so called apico alveolar s that exists in some accents or about s variants? Also do all the unvoiced letters become voiced fricatives before voiced consonants? For example: t=đ and c=g, i would appreciate it
I will certainly add the topic of /s/ to my list of future topics. Regarding your other question: No, generally speaking voiceless consonants do not become voiced or fricative before voiced consonants in standard Spanish. Normally the only consonant phoneme that has both voiced and voiceless allophones is /s/. It does become voiced before voiced consonants, but only in certain registers of speech.
In extremely unusual circumstances, f may appear before a voiced fricative ("Afghanistan"), in which case it may be voiced to [v].
@@tenminutespanish thank you
My name is Kimberly
How can we submit a sample for you to analyze I would be willing to pay for such a service.
Regardless, your channel is spectacular and I thank you for it
I'll put out a video calling for submissions when I'm ready for more. I currently have a backlog of recordings to analyze. Thank you for the kind words.
May I donate you $11 by bitcoin lightning for your amazing work?
Thank you so much for offering, but I currently have no way of accepting donations. And, I'm embarrassed to say this but I know nothing about how bitcoin works. But thank you again for offering!! I'm humbled.
