    This is why the school system fails us spanish speakers. They teach us how to translate it. They teach us how to read Spanish, but translate in English. I love the Spanish language, and I plan to pursue it, but i need to get this issue. Thanks for the video

    I make myself read my Bible in Spanish only. It really has forced me to think in Spanish a lot more! It was tough at first, but It has paid of tremendously! I went to a Spanish only Church Sunday, and I understood everything!!! They understood me too! Thank you for such awesome videos and lessons you don't learn in the classroom!!1

      I’m so confused. I thought here And there was aqui alli and something else (sorry about the spelling). How do you learn more natural ways of saying things that they don’t teach in school. I’m in Spanish 2 and we’ve never gone over the use of para also meaning over here when combined with the word for here in Spanish. Also the entire message you wrote had like three words i haven’t learned and I’m worried Spanish 3 won’t cover that all. Are you just using more advanced vocabulary? or do I need to get an app for extra help?

    I have taken Spanish my entire life. Including two semesters for my undergraduate degree. For my graduate degree I was taking Latin. And one of the things that the professor said was to think in the language that you're learning. That one concept was probably the advice I needed the entire time.

    I'm struggling to get past pausing when I'm speaking, because I am afraid of making a gramatical mistake or get the preterit vs imperfect wrong. My friend told me to forget about it if you make a mistake. Just talk. It's better to talk and make a mistake without pausing, than keep pausing. What do you think? How did you get past that stage?

    Another tip; when using translation tools, avoid copy/paste.
    Force yourself at all cost to type out every word and double-check each word thrice!
    This has helped me greatly by forcing me to pronounce words and sentences aloud many times (till I get it right).
    Memorizing spelling and grammar is VERY time-consuming if you don't want to make mistakes, it's much easier to paste (I know).
    Never-the-less, I invite you to consider these additional minutes as an investment in your learning.
    Immersion is the fastest way to conformity.

    First tip-🤔 what a good suggestion.
    It’s all good but that route to getting the understanding while searching in Spanish is just a good approach

    muy útil! He tomando clases de español por muchos años pero tengo dificultad pensando en español. Especialmente porque no he tomado una clase por casi dos años.

      Gracias por ver el video. Mira lo que tú tienes que hacer es repasar lo que aprendiste y seguir construyendo, seguir mejorando.
      No necesitas las clases, tienes que poner lo que ya sabes en practica

    You always have the best advice about resources & methods. I’ve followed them all & they really help! I’m speaking to Spanish speakers on Speaky almost on a daily basis. El problema que encontramos es hablantes nativos usan malas palabras, muletillas y palabrotas, como las en inglés. Debe ser difícil para un maestro. ¿Debe enseñar cómo hablar correctamente o cómo hablan diariamente?

    Like everything, this comes with time. But i would say focus on building vocabulary such as through the method explained above, and the 'thinking' part will come the more you practice using it. The brain will stop 'translating' the more frequently you use the new words, ie, the more said words become familiar. After all, what really is a new language but an extended vocabulary? New words to describe stuff you already had words for.

    entiendo, hay veces que escribo y digo(comunico) en ingles, eso me ayuda a pensar en ingles, yo pienso en 3 diferentes idiomas, jaja, hay veces que hablo en español y uso una palabra inglesa, o hablo ingles y uso una palabra española.

    @melvinbarnes6652 6 років тому

    Excellent tip. I never thought about looking up the meaning of a word in Spanish. Like most learners, I type the word into google translate for the English translation. I think your suggestion will be much more effective. I will definitely do this moving forward.

    •  6 років тому

      Yes. I think this will help tremendously and will help expand your vocab because sometimes the definition will have words you don't know either.

    Preciate this extremely helpful. Been checking your vids for a while, it's been helping me speak more. I've had an understanding of it for quite some time, but I haven't always been able to express myself in my characteristics. Thanks bro keep putting it out there.
