I remember watching your videos religiously when I was in 8th grade now I am a junior in University and I am still loving your videos my passion for learning Spanish has never waivered and I don't think it ever will. I remember a huge hiatus between your videos and I think that's how I forgot about your channel but I'm happy your two are back!

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

We had two children!!! And you are right: We are back!! Estamos de vuelta. jajaj

In Mexico they brought the food out to the table and placed the tortillas (flat bread version) on the table in a warmer. I asked in Spanish, "are they flour" but instead of "harina" I said, "¿Son de araña?" which means, "are they made of spiders?" The lady laughed immediately. What's more, "araña" can be slang for something sexual.

Una historia divertida sobre ‘poner’ Mi maestra de español quien mudó aquí de Colombia tiene algunas historias fantásticas y divertidas cuando ella estaba tratando de aprender inglés. Ella no podía entender porqué la gente estaba continuando decir, “Pay attention”. Finalmente, ella le preguntó a su esposo, “Mi amor, porqué tengo que pagar por atención?” Ella es una maestra increíble. Hace cuatro años que he estado estudiando con ella. Ojalá que yo pueda venir para estudiar con ustedes. Me parece que uds. se diviertan enseñar mucho. Tal vez, cuando que Covid ya no sea un problema, podría hacer eso. Gracias por su dedicación. Disfruto muchísimo estudiar idiomas extranjeros.

jajaja :D

[@strong60s]

You two are hilarious! I listen just to hear your anecdotes! And, in this case, how/when to use mojarse vs mojar!

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

We had fun with this one!

[@aerotive]

Regarding a dictionary to look up meanings, I like an app called Reverso Context. It has real life usage examples. And the free version is more than good enough.

[@31kajka]

You are great guys. So funny😊☺️

¡Muchas gracias! :)

i like cinthia's teasing style..its fun to see..☺😊

[@peterkenworthy9219]

Great stuff , it’s always the Spanish way that is wrong , the English way is much easier . That Gordon guy is a good teacher , I love his Southern accent, it’s so easy to understand xxx

[@landespyrenees]

He's from the North East 😄😄

[@teethompson7756]

As an American (ESL) English teacher I really enjoy listening to you guys because sometimes British English is as foreign as Spanish. By the way I have been studying Spanish for many many years. 💞

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

¡Gracias, Tee! :) Cx

One time in Nerja, a Dutch couple who spoke perfect English until the wife stated 'I could not sleep last night because of his snorkeling'!

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

jajajajajajajajaja

[@espartaco2028]

Hombre, te pon las pilas. No estamos agarrando. Oops! No me hubiera debido meter la pata así. This has TOTAL become my favorite video EVER!!! I learned my lesson with Comerse and a Skype video conference. He said, ¨I´m sorry. I have another appointment. ¨

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

ponte* las pilas :) Sé que es una broma, pero no la he pillado :O

[@espartaco2028]

@@LightSpeedSpanishChannel Así es, por supuesto, maestra. Gracias eterna como siempre. De hecho, acabo de terminar mis estudios finales de exactamente este tema. Era muy duro y largo y por eso, no lo sé porque no me encantó pero, no.

[@cellgrrl]

Thank you Cynthia and Gordon. For some reason I have not found a good definition for meter for several years! I hear it, I read it, but hadn't been able to understand it in context. And the dictionary gives me many, many definitions that I don't know which one is intended. In fact the dictionary actually led me to believe it was closer to the word "get". So that is wrong. For once I understand it!

[@frydis3647]

We learn them when we live in Spain

[@Ch051]

Haha I'm from the US and I haven't heard "to have it off". I would have interpreted "we're going to have it off" as "we're going to relax" / "we don't have any plans".

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

Y eso quería decir yo... Pero en el Reino Unido dije que iba a tener un fin de semana de sexo sin parar jajajajaja ¡¡Ojalá!!

Once in Spain I thought I was ordering chicken and i got my masculine and femine mixed up and said quiero polla and everyone was crying with laughter

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

jajajajajajaajaja

[@rebeccaedgett]

I was laughing about "invalid"... when I was little my father would always call me inVALid when I was sick.It is funny how a word can sound so different with the emphasis on the wrong syllable.

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

I'll never forget it now haha Cx

[@allovertheplace7973]

I was about to post the following, but I decided to look at the comments first and saw yours. So true! “The way y’all say “invalid” makes the word feel much more demeaning than the American pronunciation 😂 I’ve heard it most often pronounced [in-vuh-lid] taking your mind further from focusing on the word VALID. It sounds more like y’all are saying they have no value when you emphasize VALID in inVALID.”

Justo esta mañana mi vecina me consultaba si nos van a seguir ´colocando´ la segunda dosis de la vacuna. Allí tiene un ejemplo más de la palabra colocar.

[@davidrachlin3557]

All the Latin American dialects have tú (or in some vos). It's just that they are more formal and tend to use Usted more often, especially because there's no vosotros (Sadly!!).

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

Vosotros, el gran incomprendido y súper útil en España :)

[@muddyshoesgardener]

Once I said baño para caballos instead of caballeros and everyone laughed so hard. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

jajajajajaja I bet that now you remember the difference ;P Cx

[@Bit-while_going]

When you learn phrases, aren't you deciding that meaning is more important than grammar to some extent? So it's an exit to more fluent language but leaving behind the innocence of your beginnings just as a child becoming adolescent.

[@peterkenworthy9219]

Never really studied Eng grammar , I know the basic but I’m extremely fluent !!

[@joepardo4807]

So how do you say, I got wet?

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

Me mojé. Not 'mojé' :P

[@TheMinisterofDefence]

Its interesting that a great deal of these examples of bad Spanish creating Faux Pas in UK English and vice versa would not necessarily trigger the same response in American English. Perhaps American English has not existed long enough to have such a wealth of sexual euphemisms. It reminds me of the whole Mexican "Juevos" issue. Language is such a sticky liquid of plastic, shifting about from place to place. Like nailing jelly to a tree. lol. Good video guys.

[@leticiabravo1034]

this should be a how to joke with pronunciation not to learn pronunciation and he has a kind accent not sure is American Accent

[@LightSpeedSpanishChannel]

Gordon es del norte de Inglaterra, Leticia. Muy distinto a cualquier acento de América. A veces es bueno bromear. Bromear no está reñido con aprender Cx

[@jpnedlo7229]

He put one over on me!!

Eso sería algo como 'me engañó' :)
