A Beautiful Spanish Verb: Extrañar - Learn Spanish With Paul

[@dvonnahigby2616]

We purchased the lessons and have gone through some of them, there is so much to go over ..and over...to make it stick in my 60 year old mind but I love it and am understood most of the time. Thank you! And thank you for the free lessons también.

[@Shh116]

Danke Paul ❤

[@xygius1]

This was a brilliant lesson, Paul, muchas gracias. How you wrap so much learning around a single verb is almost magical. I just watched this lesson for the second time to really lock it in. For anyone debating whether to purchase the full course, go for it! It is without a doubt the best investment I've made for myself in recent times. My Spanish comprehension has grown exponentially and I'm still going through the first level - highly recommended.

[@snickers4130]

I am a big fan of Paul's teaching style. I have purchased his full course and I am completely enjoying it. He has a way of teaching that actually sticks in your head and has corrected some bad habits I picked up along the way with my studies. For example, saying constantly yo, tu, el, ella, ellos. I was never quite sure how to leave them out of sentences, then realized it was making my sentences sound really weird. He has a wonderful, logical approach. So glad I found him!

Awesome lesson

[@asifkhan300575]

mucho gracias por las lecciones de espanol

[@billholt9911]

"I miss not seeing you" grammatically means something like "I miss the times when I wasn't seeing you". This is in effect a double negative. I would never use this structure.

[@jeadoretu]

I agree, who says that? I came here to comment this haha.

[@bonniedavis9076]

You would if you were Spanish

[@randah9562]

I'm frustrated, I answer all questions with no mistakes and I can make sentences but when Spanish people talk to me I don't understand, it's like all my effort is wasted, you are a great teacher and I enjoy your videos, please give me the tools to help me understand spoken Spanish

[@josiahkissoon]

Randa h DON'T GIVE UP. This is the point where so many people stop trying but just work through it. Try to listen to telenovelas and use the subtitles. YOU CAN DO IT

[@andym28]

You can listen to Spanish in the background right? Have a news channel playing all day while you do other stuff.

[@jeffsartadventure3634]

I like to listen to the Mexican radio station,and I watch Mexican travel guides like Sebitastrip,Sin Postal,Mariel Viaje,Joss Barron,Alenxmundo,etc.

[@nedfarrell]

Does this work in Spain or just South America

[@menotq]

I continue to be confused by the placement of adjectives or adverbs. Is there a simple rule to put in my head. Sometimes, it's before & sometimes it's after

[@molanisa8619]

I think if its quantity, adjectives come first

[@doritmarudilasri6406]

the best video

[@olimibillto4707]

Extraño aprender Espagñol contigo ... :D

[@lucystevens1588]

Voy a extramarital aprendes espagnol con Paul

[@JBMasainiMusic2023]

¿puedes enseñarme por favor ?

[@lucystevens1588]

I've always used echo de menos for I miss you. Is this wrong?

[@gerardomendozas.4726]

It is not wrong. Both are correct. Different words same meaning = Synonyms. "Extraño tus palabras" = "Echo de menos tus palabras". (I miss your words)

[@willtabacchi1408]

Querido Paul, Que bueno el leccion. Ahora, perdona mi la falta de accentos, pero es obvio que Google no he interesada hacer a manera usar unas pocas accentos de espanal, es muy triste. De todos modos, quise decir que I bet hay una difirencia entre 'No extrano tenerte aqui y 'Extrano no tenerte aqui'

[@lpr5269]

la leccion. Remember any noun that ends in ción is feminine.

[@AlmostPolyglot]

voy a extranar aprender Espanol con Paul :(

[@noerat6622]

Plz uploade 2 videos in a week plz

[@morenikeolanrewaju6599]

Ever since I started watching your videos my Spanish has improved thanks Paul

[@victoriamorris7104]

Enjoyed ur teaching I try to read faster because I’m afraid of forgetting the word

[@legaleagle46]

Just to make things clear, extrañar will ALWAYS take the infinitive when you are talking about missing doing something, whereas English always takes the gerund. NEVER say, for example, "Extraño saliendo con mis amigos." The only correct way to say "I miss going out with my friends" is "Extraño salir con mis amigos." And when you think about it, "I miss not seeing you"/"Voy a extrañar verte" is a rather weird construction, because you're actually implying that you were happier when you WEREN'T seeing me. In other words, you're really saying the same thing as "I DON'T miss seeing you (and I hope I never have to see you again!)."

[@gerardomendozas.4726]

Hola amigo. The verb "Extrañar" as any other verb in Spanish can be used either the infinitive or gerund, it all depends on the situation. Let's break it down. You mention "Extraño salir con mis amigos" = "I mis going out with my friends". "Extraño" Is "I miss". Now "salir" in this case is used with the infinitive because in Spanish we only use it in that way. So we don't say "Extraño SALIENDO con mis amigos". In English, I can tell, you can say either "I miss going out with my friends." or "I miss to go out with my friends."

[@hosseintalaee3119]

thx.

[@monet4degas]

Gracias por otra lección. But, um, Paul, are you trying to tell us something? ;) 🤔

[@dianag.1997]

No, no, Voy a extranar apprender espanol con Paul mucho mucho por si acaso va a terminar las lecciones aqui! Me gustaria mucho lo lecciones:)

[@danielsmith8171]

[@snowsnow5344]

[@MrCamparisafari]

[@4everyone653]

Can i be Fluent in Spanish in only two months ?

[@antoniosimoni]

if you are Italian yes :-)

[@bekbatyrabdukarim844]

No lol!) Maybe in 1-2 years)

[@stoursjoseph]

I've been studying for over 3 years and I would say I'm about half way there

[@gregpaul4516]

It depends on how much time you put in everyday im 18 without classes in real life my dad being 100% El Salvadoran so no wasting time getting the accent 2 hours a day for 1 month got me completely fluent in conversational español and half the vocabulario

[@gerardomendozas.4726]

Nobody can be fluent in two months. No matter what language is intended to learn. Even for babies that are verbally "virgins". It takes years for them to be fluent in their native language.

[@MineChitect]

why not pasando tiempo? since it is in the present progressive?

[@brad5387]

to pass time = pasar tiempo. And when using extranar we always use the vereb in its full form

[@rreed87139]

I was also wondering why we didn't use trabajando or hablando. Is there a way to know when not to add the ando in place of the ing, or do you just have to remember not to use it with extranar?

[@Jack2200]

Because in English "spending" is a gerund when used with "to miss", "to like", etc. which makes it equivalent to a noun. Extrañar in Spanish requires the same infinitive form of verb to follow it as similar structures with "necesitar", "querer", "gustar", etc.

[@Abdullah-iv9rt]

Why we don’t say (you miss ) like this in Spanish (tu extrañas )

[@hue75]

Looks like Playacar in the background.

[@desrei2566]

Hola paul. I like to be one of your students.

[@ZulkifliJamil4033-x6s]

Los extraño . Re Mama, te extraño cada día

[@scottydog1407]

Confused with "I miss talking with you". Why is it "Extrano hablar contigo", and not "Extrano hablando contigo"? I thought "talkING" was "Hablando".

[@newagemaeday5361]

He has taught before that some words "take the verb nicely" so changing it is not needed. But excellent question though. There other courses using other words and the same is done. The official reason why would be explained in the actual paid course I'm sure.

[@jamestozer5070]

People do not speak that way in Spanish. The gerund ("ing") is not used nearly as much in other languages as it is in English. In Spanish it only refers to something that is currently in the progress of happening.

[@lpr5269]

There are only certain verbs that take the Gerund after them in Spanish. Seguir/continuar haciendo algo = to still be doing something or to keep doing something. Also with acabar and terminar to mean to end up doing something. Terminó/acabó pasando todo el día allí. = He ended up spending the whole day there. There are also expressions with IR, ANDAR, VENIR that use a verb in the gerund form after them, but that is about it.

[@gregpaul4516]

Porque extraño congegates the verb beside ir

[@gerardomendozas.4726]

Because "ando" and "iendo" at the end of a verb represents the gerund which is used only for a progressive forms. "Extraño hablar contigo". In Spanish "hablar" is the infinitive form of the verb, therefore is not used with the gerund as in English. In English you can say either "I miss talking with you." or "I miss to talk with you." Well, in Spanish we only use it like in the second way, which is the infinitive.
