Paul, you have invented an extremely effective METHOD of teaching Spanish. I (a true beginner in Spanish; started learning the language 3 weeks ago) only "discovered" you 4 days ago and am already making visible, satisfactory progress every single day. I am plannning to continue with you until I acquire a true, rich fluency and probably long after that. Hasta pronto.
Paul is an amazing teacher. And as a retired teacher I know what I am talking about. His lessons are clear, fully explained with much repetition to help understanding and memorization. His voice is calm and patient. I have learned more with Paul than any other teacher (in person and online). I look forward to my daily sessions. So happy to have found you Paul!
I don't know how u do it...but I am grabbing and memorizing this spanish like it's nothing...u truly have a gift....I feel soo encouraged when I learn with you....im praying I can apply for private lessons after the holidays to get me even further...Gracias
This method of iterative sentence construction, paired with repetition is one of the best techniques I've seen to improve my spanish speaking. Great job!
Paul, vous etes vraiment le meilleur professeur parce que : 1- votre methode. Nous partons d'un mot et nous finissons par une grande phrase, c"est encourageant et efficace.4 2-vous nous faites bien remarquer les differences d'avec l'anglais, donc nous retenons. 3- vous nous faites reviser, donc nous retenons. 4- Nous devons repondre donc nous entendons note voix en espagnol. 5- votre voix est relaxante, on peut vous ecouter durant des heures - et on vous ecoute durant des heures ! Merci beaucoup .😊
Oh wow Paul, I have been trying to learn spanish for so many years now but never got the chance to. Your lessons are so engaging and your strategy to teach the language makes it so easy! I know so many words just in one month time. Your awesome! Looking forward to seeing you teach some live lessons. If you have a video on verbs, days of the week and months of the year please share same with me.
If anyone is on the fence about buying the paid lessons, do it! And here's why: I am a SpanishwithPaul youtubevideo watcher for almost a year and am now a paid member. 1. Don't worry, what he is teaching works in Spain too. (I live in Barcelona, Spain). 2. His program is laid out beautifully and skillfully where each lesson builds onto the next. 3. The categories are broken down into bite size lessons so you can stop when you need and pick back up easily. 4. After a lesson: there are lots of examples helping cement the topic. 5. If you watch his free weekly lessons and don't know if you will get anything from his paid membership - yes you will. His free lessons only touch the surface of what this program has. I am kicking myself "Why didn't I start sooner?!' My Spanish has grown more with his lessons than it ever did living right here in Spain. Thank you Paul!
Paul this is incredible. You have a gift in teaching. Does your course go into drills with the same intensity as this video? Because it is fantastic and forces you to use what you know spontaneously
Wonderful and very helpful lesson. Seems to be so easy the way you teach it. By the time I finished watching the video I memorised everything. Thank you for a great lesson. looking forward for the next Monday.
Great lesson! I started the full course today, and this lesson is like icing on a cake. Looking forward to Mondays in the future. Keep up the good work.
gracious Mr Paul am a beginner and have anderstood ....iba a in fact have been following you since you started am your student now I can speak some Spanish...
Strictly speaking, "pensé" means "I BEGAN to think" or "I decided." "I thought" in the sense of "I believed" or "I had the opinion" is "(yo) pensaba (imperfect rather than preterit)."
Hola Paul, tengo tres preguntas: ¿Por qué el secundo "a" en la expresión "iba a" no se pronuncia? Como lo hacemos cuando decimos "voy a". ¿es algo típico para Mexico o América latina? También, for "tomorrow morning" ya oí "mañana por la mañana", y quiero saber si: ¿es la misma cosa que decir "mañana en la mañana"?
i think that '' i am going to do it tomorrow'' means that i will do it but ''i was going to do it tomorrow'' means that i wanted to do it tomorrow but i didn't. Hope it helps!
“I am going to do it tomorrow” is saying what you are planning to do. “I was going to do it tomorrow” is saying what you had planned to do but now might be different. Example 1: “when are you going to do this?” “I am going to do it tomorrow.” Example 2: “when are you going to do this?” “I was going to do it tomorrow, but if you need me to do it today I can.”
I try to stay away from phrases such as "Penso que" because i am unfamiliar with the subjunctive. but i see you do not use it here. why is that? if you Paul or anyone else has an answer i am all ears!
Michela Williams My guess is that when you say “I thought....”, that means you truly believed that whatever it was, was a fact . There was no doubt therefore it doesn’t trigger the subjunctive. If you said “ I don’t believe “ or “ I don’t think” you’re expressing doubt/uncertainty which in turn would trigger the subjunctive.
Fantastic stuff. I did think it was usually "mañana por la mañana" vs. en la, and "mas tarde esta noche" vs. en la noche. Are both correct? Ambos son correctos?
Mañana en la mañana is when you say the exact time, mañana por la mañana is the same meaning but you don't give the time. A las ocho mañana en la mañana. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Iba a hacerlo mañana. Para ti. Iba a hacerlo para ti mañana en la mañana. No iba a comprarlo mañana. To call = llamar iba a llamarte Iba a llamarte mañana en la mañana. más tarde en la noche hasta means until How would you say to tell. Decir means to tell What happened que pasó Whats the word for something? Algo Paul your method is so creative, interesting and engaging at the same time. No iba a decirte que pasó. Pensé que Pensé que no iba a hacerlo Pensé que es posible de aprender ingles más facíl. .
"Fui", not "fue." Fue means either "he, she, it was" or "he, she, it went," as it is the preterit of both "ser" and "ir," but "fue" is the he/she/it form of the verb. The "I" form is "fui" and can mean either "I was" or "I went." The difference between "iba" and "fui" is that "iba" means "I was going" or "I used to go," whereas "fui" simply means "I was" or "I went."
I found that if I started with the first mini course and slowly worked my way through it all, then I find this lesson to be straight forward, maybe you should try the pause button, or even start the mini course over again, but whatever you do please keep trying.

This was the best lesson I came across UA-cam. I feel like I can speak and write Spanish from just what I learned from this guy. Thank you!
We love your lessons Paul! I do a video with my daughter every Saturday night. Thanks so much!

Excellent Paul, I now have signed up and I am enjoying the full course!
Paul this is incredible. You have a gift in teaching. Does your course go into drills with the same intensity as this video? Because it is fantastic and forces you to use what you know spontaneously
The course drills are even better than his Monday UA-cam videos drills. So worth the money!
Pensé que no iba a aprender español tan rapido. Gracias por la ayuda, Paul!
You were sent from God. Your technique is genius. Thank you.😊
Praise Allah for Paul!

Strictly speaking, "pensé" means "I BEGAN to think" or "I decided." "I thought" in the sense of "I believed" or "I had the opinion" is "(yo) pensaba (imperfect rather than preterit)."

robert golliff excelente*
Thank you Paul🌸
Hi Paul another great lesson just a quickie does "iba a" work in Andalusian Spanish?
Grammatically speaking, it should.
In my experience, nothing works in Andalusian Spanish, it's a really difficult dialect where lots of the word gets chopped off.
very good Paul! see you next monday! on monday 25 sept 2017. bye
Paul I hope you are safe and well I feel for all them unfortunate people
Gracias Paul pero por favor decirme qué diferencia entre "voy a" y " iba a".?
Paul, do you do individual sessions? I'd like to translate my typical discharge teaching and phrases for my postpartum moms.
In English, What is the diffenence between "i am going to do it tomorrow" and " i was going to do it tomorrow" ?
i think that '' i am going to do it tomorrow'' means that i will do it but ''i was going to do it tomorrow'' means that i wanted to do it tomorrow but i didn't. Hope it helps!
“I am going to do it tomorrow” is saying what you are planning to do. “I was going to do it tomorrow” is saying what you had planned to do but now might be different. Example 1: “when are you going to do this?” “I am going to do it tomorrow.” Example 2: “when are you going to do this?” “I was going to do it tomorrow, but if you need me to do it today I can.”

Getting ready for Costa rica, thanks for your help Paul :D
I'm in Costa Rica right now!
I love Costa Rica. Getting ready for Colombia then Mexico.
Thank so much this was really helpful
Perfecto
Thanks Dear Paul
I made mistakes with verbs
I try to stay away from phrases such as "Penso que" because i am unfamiliar with the subjunctive. but i see you do not use it here. why is that? if you Paul or anyone else has an answer i am all ears!
Michela Williams My guess is that when you say “I thought....”, that means you truly believed that whatever it was, was a fact . There was no doubt therefore it doesn’t trigger the subjunctive. If you said “ I don’t believe “ or “ I don’t think” you’re expressing doubt/uncertainty which in turn would trigger the subjunctive.
The subjunctive is not always necessary after “pienso que”.
Fantastic stuff. I did think it was usually "mañana por la mañana" vs. en la, and "mas tarde esta noche" vs. en la noche. Are both correct? Ambos son correctos?
I also thought this, many thanks for asking him the question.
Mañana en la mañana is when you say the exact time, mañana por la mañana is the same meaning but you don't give the time.
A las ocho mañana en la mañana.
At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Wow you make this much easier but my dum ass still slow with it. I will watch this video everyday until I'm sharp and can do it fast
The best
We don’t have to use que after hasta?
Iba a hacerlo mañana.
Para ti.
Iba a hacerlo para ti mañana en la mañana.
No iba a comprarlo mañana.
To call = llamar
iba a llamarte
Iba a llamarte mañana en la mañana.
más tarde en la noche
hasta means until
How would you say to tell.
Decir means to tell
What happened que pasó
Whats the word for something?
Algo
Paul your method is so creative, interesting and engaging at the same time.
No iba a decirte que pasó.
Pensé que
Pensé que no iba a hacerlo
Pensé que es posible de aprender ingles más facíl.

Me gustavideo Espero tener mas lesion para me aprenden Gracie Por mi video
algo bueno
So "fue" is out of the picture altogether. Interesting! Oh I just realized that means "it was", and you are saying here "I was".
"Fui", not "fue." Fue means either "he, she, it was" or "he, she, it went," as it is the preterit of both "ser" and "ir," but "fue" is the he/she/it form of the verb. The "I" form is "fui" and can mean either "I was" or "I went." The difference between "iba" and "fui" is that "iba" means "I was going" or "I used to go," whereas "fui" simply means "I was" or "I went."
I still don't understand the different in "en la noche" versus "esta noche" Oh I found more info on he/she/it can segment of the lesson material.
En la noche: in the night. Esta noche: This night
pam emick this the same i am native spanish speaker and let me tell you that this is the same,!
en la noche is at night or in the night but esta noche is tonight.
my biggest problem understanding...HELP!!
I found that if I started with the first mini course and slowly worked my way through it all, then I find this lesson to be straight forward, maybe you should try the pause button, or even start the mini course over again, but whatever you do please keep trying.
Iva a tomar clases de frances pero mejor espanol
