Hi everyone, Paul here...
Most Spanish courses teach you the same old verbs and that's fine, but there are also verbs we use very often in English that hardly get taught in Spanish at all... and that's a problem.
In today's lesson I'll give you an example of a powerful, multi-faceted, verb which can be used in wide variety of different ways.
Watch the video, master the verb and plug it into your Spanish!
See you next Monday,
Paul
I have been sort of learning Spanish for about 8 years - I think I have learnt more with Paul in a few days than in all that time! Thank you
Judy Brachi Me, too.
@@piedsvolants 2 years later but me three!
A truer statement has never been made.
According to me, this is the best lesson Paul has ever made. This covers many aspects of speech. Meanwhile this is so simple & easy to remember. For a short time he has given a lot of information also at the end there's a smart drill. Paul, you are genious, I'm so grateful to you. I wish you all the best to work on this type of lessons more and more!!!
I really liked your video, you've got a new subscriber, but instead of learning Spanish I'm here to learn English and you speak clearly, that's it.
You are such a dedicated and wonderful teacher, and your full course is excellent Thank you. Barrie Owen.
This course is unique in that it teaches you HOW to learn Spanish and makes sense of the whole process without rote learning and it keeps one encouraged to press on without getting bogged down or impatient with the process. I wish I had Paul teaching me at school!

That awkward moment when your tía’s name is Maria and is unhappy 😂
I listen to these videos just to hear that cool music at the end.
Lol..me too. Jk..I want to know the name of the song?
I have learnt so much with Paul in less than 2 weeks!! I now have increased love for Spanish
May be it´s split hairs but at least in Argentina, "terminar" or "finalizar" are most common because "acabar" has a sexual connotation.
Splitting heirs
Paul you are doing a great job teaching.
It’s hard because in Spanish some words have multiple meanings which is confusing. For example this word “acabar” it means: to end up, to finish , it ends itself (those are similar), but the mining of
“I just “ is tooooo confusing.
Poor Spanish language🤔
Oh yea. I'm getting his system. It will be well worth it. Since these videos are helpful, the full catalog has got to be muy effectivo
Can you do a video like this for Quedar? Thank you for this video!
With 'Tengo que terminarlo hoy' can the 'lo' sort of float around in this sentence ? For example 1> 'Tengo que lo terminar hoy' or even 2> 'Lo tengo que terminar hoy' . Love these lessons !
Only your second example would be possible, and it would be extremely uncommon at that. Normally, object pronouns are simply attached to the end of the infinitive. What you cannot do is put the object pronoun directly before the infinitive in Spanish (as in your first example), although this was the normal word order in Latin and still is the normal word order in French.
De nuevo, una muy buena lección de ti. Me gusta mucho seguir tus cursos
this is really nice with a nice touch to the end

What if I use y like regular ,will people still understand?
People will still understand you, but the reason that "y" changes to "e" before any word that begins with "i" is that it just sounds better to Spanish-speaking ears than repeating the same vowel sound does. Similarly, "o" (or) changes to "u" before any word that begins with an "o."
Hi Paul, if I order your full Spanish Cource, how do you supply it? If ordered, do I get acces to all of your cource pages in internet?
Juhani Tynys Hi. I am currently taking Paul's full course. Once you purchase the course, your log in credentials will be sent to your email. You may then use it to get in to the members area where you'll have full access to his courses.. It's worth it!
Chona Austria I’m currently seven months in. It’s definitely worth it!
Very helpful.
Another great course. You mention that you can use acabar or terminar. Is this similar to English, where you could say end, finish, terminate, etc depending on how you want to phrase something?
Me encanta tus videos gracias por compartir Paul🎉
Conferencia muy útil. Muchísimas gracias
At 13.21 you indicated the correct word order was - no me gusta como se acaba la peli -
but why should the -la peli- be at the end?
Una lección muy interesante..Gracias, Paul, por ella .¡No me he gustado que se acabó!
Super helpful. Thank you.
Por supuest me gusto tu leccion, sin embargo estaria bueno saber cuando usar el infinitive y cuando usar el presente participle. Gracias por todo
Hi Paul, please can you explain why it is acabo de llamarle" and not " acabo de llamarla"? Thank you!
no entiendo eso tampoco!
"Llamar" is one of many verbs that requires "a" when followed by a name or a personal pronoun. You aren't literally saying "I call her." What you are literally are saying is "I call TO her." (Llamo a ella). The object pronoun that replaces "a ella" (to her) is "le," not "la." Therefore, "I just called her" is "Acabo de llamarle," not "Acabo de llamarla."
sorry, I just learned from a different video that when using this verb llamar is to call TO someone, we have to use the indirect object pronouns me,te,le,nos,os,les. To whom or for whom the action of the verb is done. I hope this is right!
helen simonson yes it is. Generally (but unsure), when a verb is intransitive you have to use indirect objects, otherwise you go for direct ones. Hope I'm right.
@@legaleagle46 “llamarla” when referring to a female or a feminine noun is the correct form.
gracias por este video,puedes hacer un video sobre verb "subir' por favor????
Hola Paul.
Como Estas?
Hi Paul, thanks for this lovely video, you explain very well. I would like to have more exercices about to call her, llamarle or llamar ella, if you want to explain more please.
if you go through his previous mini courses he uses that verb a lot and explains it very well. Like he says always you must go through his fist 9 or 10 mini courses first!
Thank you Paul for the lesson, please how to say Meutual feeling, thanks
Is there a rule about when an article or pronoun is needed before a noun? Note how "in life" becomes "in la vida" so the "la" is inserted. In trying G. Translate, on "put on boots", we get "ponte botas" without an article prefixing "botas?" Is the rule in Spanish something like "use an article or pronoun in front of every noun?"
I was taught that the definite article is used whenever one is referring to something in an abstract or general sense, hence you would always say "en la vida." The definite article is also usually required when referring to articles of clothing, especially when used in connection with a reflexive verb such as "ponerse" meaning "to put on." So I would instinctively say "Ponte las botas" (put your boots on).
You say "ponte la botas" when you know what boots you're talking about, "ponte las botas (que tienes)" or "ponte las botas (que compraste el año pasado)". You say "ponte botas" when you're talking about boots in general, "si llueve, ponte botas".
Muchas Gracias Paul
*Great video, thanks Paul!*
Love it
Хорошо зашло.
I'm new to videos, and so far I'm really enjoying them. Do you teach any business Spanish!
Buenas tardes. Gracias por todo. Eres el mejor paul
Enjoyed
Muy bueno. Gracias.
hey i think "e" is a portuguese word for an and. And for spanish is a ''y'' someone clarify please
Paul explained it at 4:36
In spanish, if a word after 'y' starts with a vowel you use 'e' instead of 'y' to make it sound better phonetically
@@itsniquenique45 no, when the next word starts with "i", them you replace "y" by "e" to make it easier to pronounce, to avoid what we call in Spanish "cacofonía"
@@itsniquenique45 the vowel of the next word must start with ' i '
Gracias
This stuff is great. I know spanish but use this to teach my children. .! Pronunciation is a little different
Great

Very helpful. Goes slow and explains things.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Great courses/videos
I was listening to the Gospel of John in Spanish, on UA-cam, and was thrilled when "the wine ran out" and I understood the Spanish expression w acabar. Normally, I would have pieced together the meaning, since I know the story, anyway. But this time I got it -- direct from the narration! Great fun! ... How would I say: "I wouldn't want to end up like that"? ... I think I know because you've taught "like that" in earlier lessons, but since it's an idiom, I'd like to be sure. THANKS for all you do for us!
Elizabeth Hodges My guess would be - no me gustaria acabar como eso... is that correct?
@@piedsvolants No me gustaría is I wouldn't like. I wouldn't want is "No querría". Like that is así, de la misma forma, de la misma manera. If you translate it as como eso, that would be Spanglish

Hola, cómo estás amiga? Saludo a usted desde aquí en mi país. Un abrazo sano por la amistad.
Buenos Dias! Maybe I got this wrong, but my friend here in Veracruz tells me you don't express love toward a thing, only a person. Like you wouldn't say I love my car, only I like my car. Did I misunderstand? Thanks
Hi Jay, very strange! I hear "me encanta + inanimate object" from native speakers here all the time.
Maybe because I was using amo. I'll ask again today if me encanta mi coche is okay. She helps me with small details like this. Me encanta su videos!
Your friend is correct. You would not use "amar" or "querer" in the sense of "to love" with inanimate objects. As Paul pointed out, the proper way to say "I love my car" is "me encanta mi auto."
Muchisimas gracias Paul!
Good day Senior Paul. Been watching you for about 2 years consistently. Estas Mexicano or did you learn Spanish as a second language?
macarone328 Well, Paul has English accent
English 1st language I would say, 🤓
In one his videos he said be learned spanish and mastered it as a second language
He's actually Australian.
Just to let you know, it's "¿Eres mexicano?" "Ser" is the verb used with nationalities, NEVER "estar." Also, nouns and adjectives describing nationality are never capitalized in Spanish.

extraño aprender contigo así que estoy aquí otra vez jajajaja. ¡Gracias a ti!
I miss learning with you so here I am again.
Am almost speaking Spanish started one week ago.
😂

Excellante.
Muchisimas gracias a ti
