I don't know if you already did a video on this, but it happens to me all the time that I mix up estar and ser, also I can't quite wrap my head around the differences between esta, ésta and está, I always forget which is which and where the accent must go... 🥴 So a video on these would be much appreciated. 😀 ¡Muchas gracias por este excelente contenido!

[@EasySpanish]

Hola! Easy Spanish hizo un video de la diferencia de "ser" y "estar". Esto fue hace mucho tiempo. ¡Déjanos saber si lo encuentras útil! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGrZg6Wencp2i68 Saludos! Pau

[@pansinharina8040]

Pues se ha eliminado el usar “ésta” ya que es lo mismo que “esta”, misma acentuación y mismo significado. En cambio, “está” viene del verbo estar. Así es simple y nada rebuscado. 😄

[@ControlledCha0s]

What's even worse is that many native speakers now omit the preposition _de_ when using *acordarse* and you get to hear very often things like: _"No me acuerdo la marca de su coche"_ instead of _"No me acuerdo de la marca de su coche"_ or _"No recuerdo la marca de su coche"_ , or they even use *acordarse* followed by other words that would require *recordar* instead: _"Me acuerdo que ella siempre llegaba tarde"_ or _"¿Sí te acuerdas cómo se prepara esa sopa?"_ . As a native speaker of Spanish and huge languages lover, I have to say I _hate_ that particular phenomenon with a passion. 😖 Which is why I'm all the gladder you guys decided to tackle this very subject! 👍😎👍 ¡Un fuerte abrazo desde México!

[@AmandaMcGee]

I found this comment very helpful.... thank you

[@observant6953]

Yes, sometimes native speakers butcher their language the most :')

[@ControlledCha0s]

@@AmandaMcGee You're very welcome. 😊

[@superelectrasuperheroe4079]

@@observant6953 Yep 👍, languages evolve, but sometimes in worse directions. I'm a polyglot and a lot of irregularities (exceptions) I've observed are caused by such evolutions. English is a mighty example, it was fairly logical, but mixed with Latin and French, there are now many exceptions (especially in pronunciation).

[@haitiancreolewithluciano]

Eso es un canal maravilloso. Estoy aprendiendo mucho

[@dude9864]

Yo lo aprendí así: Recordarse = To remind Acordarse = To remember Recordar = To remember (con nostalgia) Ejemplo: Recuerdo mi infancia (nostalgia) Me acuerdo de mi cita (no nostalgia)

[@orhanayyildiz9383]

Hola lo es que hacéis is muy importante, por favor sigue así muchas gracias!!!

[@veefernaodias4134]

Los verbos muy importante cuando estamos hablar en una idioma perfectamente muy bien 😊😊😍

Excellente chavales. Me apunto Al canal. Vaya manera de aprender.👌👌

Qué video tan brillante. Conciso e informativo.

[@ΜΑΡΙΑΛΕΝΑΣΤΑΜΑΤΑΚΗ-φ4φ]

Hola chicos!Este video es muy util porque nos ayuda comprender la diferencia entre los dos verbos.Muchas gracias y esperamos el siguiente video con acordar!Saludos de Grecia!😊🌺

[@derekmaier421]

Muchas gracias por este video. Hago este error muy frecuentemente.

[@U570]

Muchas gracias por este video, ha sido muy util para mi! Y creo para todos los italianos, ya que nosotros usamos 'recordar' y incluso en reflexivo, ;)

[@EasySpanish]

Saludos! (:

[@cj7241]

Gracias! El video es muy util :)

[@ALROD]

Fun fact, the idea is similar in Portuguese: "lembrar-se" is a reflexive verb and "recordar" isn't. But "recordar" is barely used, at least from what I can notice, and it has more to do with a distant memory from the past, like, to relive a moment. "Lembrar-se" sounds more casual.

[@jaytelfer3984]

Este video es muy de provecho! (por favor, corrijame si hice un error). Ojala que siempre me acordare cuando deberia usar 'acordarse' y 'recordar' ! (Y en otra nota, me encanto que por la primera vez de tu vida no hablaste como un tren bala, Jose ;) )

[@EasySpanish]

Hola Jay! Gracias por tu comentario! Aquí algunas posibilidades correctas para tu frase: "Ojalá siempre me acordara de cuándo usar "acordarse" y cuándo usar "recordar". "Ojalá siempre recordara cuándo usar "acordarse" y cuándo usar "recordar". Saludos, Pau

José, de donde eres de origen? Tu acento suena cerquita de lo de Andalucia.

¡Hola! José es de Bolivia y lleva mucho años viviendo en Barcelona. (: Saludos, Pau

[@Josh.Mangelson]

@@EasySpanish Gracias, Pau. He llegado al punto del podcast que llegó Jose. Escuché el episodio hoy de las 's' aspiradas. Sabia que la gente de los Islas hablaba así, pero no sabia yo que tan frequente hablar así es fuera de Andalucia.

[@davehalls9928]

Great topic. But for a “super easy spanish” video I wish the speakers would slow down a little like some of the other super easy videos. Far too fast.

[@EasySpanish]

Hi Dave! Thank you for your comment (: We will consider this. Saludos, Pau

[@davehalls9928]

@@EasySpanish Thanks for being understanding. I think a fantastic example of “super easy” videos are those made by Paulina (I think that’s her name) from Mexico City. She not only speaks slowly but every word is fully pronounced and the vocabulary is not too advanced. As a beginner I feel a confidence boost when I watch her videos.

[@kindcutediamond]

@@davehalls9928 hey. What is Pauline's channel name?

[@davehalls9928]

@@kindcutediamond Paulina is on this channel, I don’t think she has her own. Her latest video is called “Body Parts”.
