5 Tips When you Can't Understand Spanish Speakers| HOLA SPANISH

[@davidrosen4951]

I speak Spanish well enough to express most anything I need to say. I've lived in Colombia and have spent quite a bit of time traveling in Latin America. BUT I STILL have trouble understanding people at times. I've asked people to speak more slowly... maybe about a million times... and they always apologize and start speaking slowly for about 3 seconds before taking off fast again. Force of habit. I find few people who can sustain a slower pace. Especially in places where people normally speak fast. So I'm accustomed to not understanding, especially in a roomful of people hablando rápido con bromas y dichos. Oy! I get 10%. Quizás 20% a veces :). But I really like your Tip #1. I think sometimes I'm straining to understand which gets my brain crossed up. Voy a intentar Tip #1. Gracias!

[@HolaSpanish]

I love how you keep going regardless, David 💪 that's powerful and I promise it will pay off. Aprender un idioma es un proceso y el avance es progresivo, a veces piensas que no estás avanzando mucho pero créeme que todo lo que hagas te ayuda a mejorar poco a poco. Sigue adelante amigo!!! 👏

Gracias 🙏

Soy hispano, y puedo entender todo lo que dices en Inglés, que alegría poder entender dos idiomas, no sólo el Español. Ahora quisiera aprender un tercero 😆 (aún no se si Francés o Alemán)

[@semaryc]

I can understand you more than other Spanish native speakers like Mexicans. Su pronunciación es muy clara.

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Muchas gracias! There are many factors that contribute to you being able to understand certain Spanish speakers and not others. We try to speak in clear Spanish for our beginners so you can get used to it. Don't give up, after a while you'll see that you'll start to understand and pick up more from random Spanish speakers from different countries too.

[@Alejandro-zy5kt]

because they're speaking slow af

Have you ever been in a Spanish conversation and you couldn't understand a word in Spanish? As the conversation gets going you get more and more uncomfortable and nervous? Don't worry too much about it, it's very common especially if you're a beginner. Today we'd like to share 5 tips on how to handle this situation 😉

[@leonardoberistaindeanda7055]

¿Qué y si esto me pasa también pero al revés, es decir con el inglés?

[@nhule8442]

yes, I have, until now I can not understand when I join a Spanish table in hilokal

[@orangesandroses9448]

Gracias Brenda en Romina 😊

[@jasonboone6501]

Yes. Sometimes our focus can veer our attention away from our optimal learning opportunities. Taking a step back and letting our wet brain pick out what it understands without us getting in the way can be highly illuminating. Great advice!!

Hola Brenda , yo soy Bambang Mur de Indonesia. Seguro que ami , me gusta mucho la maniera de inseñar español es mu excelente. Comprede muy bien lo que ha explicado. Muchas gracias y grand saludo del Indonesia, Yogjakarta.

[@johnjaeger4804]

I love spanglish, but my definition is alternating back and forth or using correct Spanish words especially if you can’t remember the English word. I find that sometimes there is “arm wrestling” when someone tries to speak English to me but my Spanish is stronger than their English- or sometimes- their English IS good- so we stick to English. that middle zone is fun.

[@subliminal81]

Romy looks like a cool Spanish witch. Mesmerising... Love it.

[@HolaSpanish]

Gracias por venir ¡Un abrazo! ❤️

[@rickhart1978]

5 minutes seems like a long time to just sit there with no response. I think when someone is talking to you for that amount of time they would expect a head nod, a few si's and claro's, not a blank stare. I always begin the conversation with, "lo siento mi español es débil, pero estoy tratando de mejorar." That seems to set the stage for whatever follows.

[@ouimetco]

You lovely ladies speaking pretty good English. Hope my Spanish gets that good. With your help in sure it will. Cheers

[@tahiti1]

Great advice. Speaking is always the hardest part! I end up slipping into Italian all the time, so I guess Spitaliano rather than Spanglish!! 😂

[@HolaSpanish]

jajajaja me hiciste reír jajaja Así es al principio y es normal. Verás que poco a poco la conversación será mucho más fácil. Lo importante es practicar.

[@alessandromonaco9495]

Hi, I have been learning spanish for the last 2 months, primarily just building up vocabulary. I'm from Australia and my issue is at the moment is not knowing someone here I can talk to apart from my teacher to speak and practice my spanish. It's feels very slow going. What can i do in this situation?

You can also have them state the topic in English first so you can have an idea of what to expect in the conversation.

You are welcome 😁

[@eleonorepulley4737]

I enjoyed your tips, but as a 60 year old beginning learner of Spanish, I need you to leave up the Spanish words longer to be able to say them out loud and then try to remember. I can remember sentences that have 3-5 words easily, but if more words they need to stay a bit longer on the screen for me. Just a thought.:)

[@siennastone5009]

you can use pause

I have a friend who speaks english, Italian and spanish. When he speaks spanish he does so like he's speaking italian. His Spanish is not rushed and sounds like poetry.

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Guau! Eso suena muy interesante, tal vez sea porque su acento es un poco diferente al nuestro ;D
