From my Spanish tutor: When the noun is at the beginning of the sentence and we are describing it with adjectives and verbs we use "de" after the adjective. Spanish is difficult to learn El español es difícil "de" aprender But if the noun is at the end of the sentence and we are describing it, we don't use "de" Es difícil aprender español Also remember that if the adjective is at the end of the sentence you can't not finish the sentence with a proposition, so because of this we can't use "de" at the end. Aprender español es difícil

I really appreciate this explanation and short video. I started watching your videos over a year ago, but I wasn't quite advanced enough so I took a break and have been continuing on my Duolingo journey. I have a very hard time understanding when to use lo in front of a word or attach it to the end of a word. I have a 50/50 shot and rarely seem to understand it, take a stab and can be right or wrong. LOL. I saw that this was short and it was hitting one of the confusing points and this helped a great deal. Thank you!

You can do it. Those apps use gamification to make you think you are progressing but they don't really teach you much. The key to learning Spanish as an adult is to learn the patterns of the language and then you can string together to logically create sentences. Those may be sentences you have never seen or heard before, yet they will be correct.

Don't get discouraged. The details are really the patterns in the language. This is one pattern. If you don't remember it this time, that's okay. When you see this construction, you will think of this lesson and you won't wonder where that DE came from. After awhile, you will be using it without even thinking about it much.

2:01 Nope. It's not the object, it's the subject. It's an attributive sentence whose verb is ser, the subject is "aprender español" as a noun phrase and fácil is the attribute. In "El español es fácil de aprender" "fácil de aprender" is an adjective phrase as the attribute, "el español" is the subject and ser is the verb. The real difference between the two is the structure. Both sentences mean almost the same. It's like the difference between "Spanish is easy to learn" and "learning Spanish is easy".

Your videos make me realize my error in paying zero attention during grammar lessons when I was in school. In order to learn Spanish I am having to go back a learn grammar first just to understand the what you are talking about when you refer to subjects and objects of a sentence. 🤦🏻
@QrooSpanish
@QrooSpanish Күн бұрын
If it makes you feel any better, I paid zero attention too. When it's your own language, those rules really aren't important; however, when you're an adult learning a second language, it is like getting the opposing team's playbook.

Paul, I started watching your 'Moving to Mexico" videos in 2021. As of today I've been living in La Paz, BCS for two years as a permanent resident. Thank you for your good advice on how to make your way through the Mexican (seemingly over bureaucratic) social/legal/medical/financial systems. I just wanted to point out that in this video @6:21 "No ta vayas" should read "no te vayas". A typo I'm sure. Thanks again for your good work.

@@Zzyzzyx Sometimes that can be a trap, though, because cognate words in English have such different pronunciation/stress. A sort-of-funny example from a Brazilian student living in the U.S., who had to go to the hospital for an injury and, because of Covid, her spouse (the better English speaker) couldn't accompany her. In her retelling, "they kept asking me about tennis, and I couldn't understand what they were talking about and why." Finally someone had the bright idea to write it down; what they were asking about was tetanus (imagine pronouncing it the Spanish or Portuguese way). The reduction/elimination of the second syllable and the stress on the first syllable explains the mis-hearing.
