I loved this conversation because it shows that the learning process is as confusing as it is exciting, and even though the cycle’s not gonna end, getting to a point where you’re not annoyed by it is the goal. I love your way of immersing yourself in Spanish while still being amazed by the things you don’t know. Thanks for this video 🔥
You're welcome! You know what? I need to make that a priority/goal, getting to a point where I am not annoyed because I sure to get annoyed quite frequently. Thank you for watching and commenting. Do you struggle at all with being annoyed while learning Korean?
Don't worry, this is normal. I'm a native Spanish speaker and I don't know what "me tienen de relajo" means either. We Spanish speakers understand each other through context. For example, if an Argentinian says "fierro" and it's a term that I don't know because in my country it is said differently, I can intuit its meaning from the context. The gestures of native Spanish speakers when speaking, their sentences, their intonation, their gaze, in short everything. Trust me, I can assure you that I don't understand Dominican slang, but I could understand them from the context. Native Spanish speakers speak Spanish very poorly. “las gentes” is grammatically incorrect. Most of us native Spanish speakers say “la gente” It's like saying in English “I ain't gonna do it”. It's not recommended for an English learner like me to say “ain’t.” I know that word exists, I know that English speakers use it, but it's not advisable for a non-native person to say it. The same thing happens in Spanish. I recommend that you never say “las gentes.” It sounds bad, it sounds uneducated. “Me está esta canción” is simply a mistake that we all make when typing. One day I typed “me está gustándome”. We simply make mistakes without realizing it because we are human. Additionally, some native Spanish speakers are children who express themselves poorly or adults who are not very cultured. There are poor and underdeveloped Spanish-speaking countries.
I feel like the advantage people have when learning english is you basically have 2 dailects to choose from "American english" or "British English" (and I guess Canadian and Australian) which aren't far off from each other imo. I have 0 problem understanding them, although some people from Scottland, Ireland for example I have a hard time understanding them even being native in english. I doubt few people chose english dialects outside of the 2 main ones, I could be wrong though. Spanish has many dailects and atm I'm just trying to get the basics down before I land on one dailect. I want to be able to speak with all spainsh speakers if possible. We have many spanish speakers from different countries here, although Mexico and people from the Caribbean make up the majority. Personally I like Rioplatense spanish, it sounds similar to italian and I love how italians speak.
Thank you for the encouragement! Yes, I remember one of my Spanish speaking friends telling me the difference in how he talks versus others because he speaks more educated.
Thankfully, as long as you have basic Spanish down, you can conversate with just about anyone about many topics. So, in my eyes, it is not necessary to learn a dialect to have good conversations. At the end of the day, you will always encounter scenarios where you don't understand a Spanish speaker and will learn something new. But, I could be wrong haha.
@@spanishblueprints My case was different. I had to learn Standard American English because of its pronunciation. Pronouncing all the R's makes me feel comfortable. I find British English pronunciation very difficult. I recommend learning the standard Spanish from Spain. If you say /zapato/, you’ll know that “zapato” is spelled with a “z” because of your pronunciation. On the other hand, if you say /sapato/, you are more likely to make spelling mistakes and therefore write “zapato” with an “s”. That’s my opinion. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Hey. Gente is used in some parts of America (but not Spain afaik) to mean 'person', so you can have 'dos gentes' and you can deseo bien a las gentes. Was the author of that book from somewhere other than Spain?
@@spanishblueprints that would make sense. The other thing - with the "me está esta canción", I would guess they mean this song is for me but I've never heard anything like that before!
@@stephen456 it is one of the weird things I’ve seen in Spanish but it was a comment and language in text form is always really choppy. Like in English we may use hru (how are you) and so many other acronyms. Half of the time I think it’s due to laziness jaja.

Comedy, Texting (or internet slang), Lyrics some of the hardest things
Right? It is going to take forever to learn but that’s ok. I am excited for this new journey.

Too late for me, I learned basic Mexican pronunciation a long time ago but now I have more of a Dominican accent.

Interesting, this author is from Cali, Colombia.
