Gracias maestra para descripción de España, soy estudiando español. Muchas éxito para ti en tus vídeos!

¡Gracias!

Estoy, del verbo estar. Ser y estar son verbos distintos en español. Pero es un error frecuente en quienes lo estáis aprendiendo, no te preocupes. Un saludo.

Hola Russell soy un hablante nativo del español cometiste muchos errores en tu frase en todo caso sería así: "Gracias maestra por la descripción de España estoy estudiando español. Muchos éxitos para ti en tus vídeos".

¡Hola Sarah! Me encanto tu explicacion sobre el origen del Español. Como tu bien lo dices es fascinante. Yo soy maestra de español de primaria y secundaria, y he tomado ideas de tu video para compartir con mis alumnos. me encanto la pasion con la que compartes tus conocimientos y se nota que te encanta lo que haces. Muchas gracias y espero ver mas videos tuyos. Perdon que las palabras no tienen acentos, pero aun no los encuentro en mi Mac.Yo soy de Mexico. Si en algo puedo ayudarte, aqui estoy.

[@SarahKelso]

Gracias, Cristina. Mucha suerte con tus clases durante este año difícil. Me encanta México- es un país muy lindo.

What do you think about the "leyenda negra"?

[@SarahKelso]

Such a great question. I think it’s important to sift through both anti-nation propaganda and that which glorifies a nation.

[@tomsuiteriii9742]

Great video! As a student of French, I always wondered why the French language is so much harder and more confusing than Spanish, considering that they're both Romance/Latin languages and France and Spain are right next to one another geographically. (Also, I think Spanish is definitely the closest to Classical Latin out of the two.) It's interesting to see how the individual histories of nations are reflected in their respective languages.

[@SarahKelso]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@richlisola1]

It’s not really that much harder. It’s grammar is a bit unlike Spanish.

[@dominiquepierre916]

Very good video,Please continue until advance level of Spanish.

[@elbilingual3792]

¡Muy interesante tu vídeo! I think you did quite a good summary of the languages in Spain and how Spanish became what it is now today. I would like to add that in the territories of Southern Iberia ruled by different muslim rulers, we could say the population spoke two languages :arabic and mozarabic. This second language developed from Latin like Spanish, but was heavily influenced by Arabic, spoken by the elite. In fact, it is believed that many of those loanwards that you mention came from mozarabic, and not directly Arabic. This language was named after the Christian population of these territories, who were in the position of either maintaining their christian roots or adopt the vibrant and hectic innovations of Al-Andalus. Mucha suerte y... ¡Viva el español y el inglés!

[@SarahKelso]

Thank you for this insightful commentary! ¡Viva el español, el inglés...y el mozárabe!

It's easy to challenge us all to do better when we have all the comforts this world has to offer , and we're not struggling to survive like they had to do back then. Not condoning, but also not holding them to today's moral standards either

[@SarahKelso]

Hi Pete. Valid point putting this in historical context. Thank you for this perspective.

[@michaelohanlan5040]

Thank you Sarah, you are an inspiration to make the most of what were limitations from the pandemic. I finished a video of the history of French on "The Traveling Linguist" website. My hope was to get the same from you showing how Latin developed into proto-Spanish, the break up of Latin into Galician, Leonese, etc. and what made them unique to each other, and finally into modern Spanish. My experience of your excellent video was one more of a political history of how Spanish became a dominant language in the world, not a real history of the [development of] Spanish Language [from Latin]. I would have enjoyed learning how Castilian and Aragonaise merged, what remained and shows in Spanish today, and what was lost. For me, I would like to learn how did Latin evolved into Spanish over the centuries. Why are there two imperfect subjunctives, which one today is used when, and where did they come from? How did Spanish develop estar and ser from Latin, the lost of the Neuter grammatical gender (except in some cases with "lo", but is that really neuter?)? I am a Slavic Linguist, and have studied how proto-Slavic developed into the modern Slavic languages, mostly focused on Russian. I invite you do that with us with Spanish. What was Spanish during the Moors like, what influences beyond vocabulary changed Spanish? Is the Spanish of Cervantes the same Spanish of Borges? This was a fun video. I do not mean to, and hope I did not, shoot you down. I encourage you to do more, and would love to get my answers to those two awful imperfect subjunctives!

[@SarahKelso]

Thank you for your interest in a video for the advanced linguists in the world looking to dive deeper into this topic!

[@edwardfondeur4477]

Hi, Sarah. What do you mean by Romance language? Is it a love ❤️ language?

[@SarahKelso]

Hola Edward! Romance languages are the modern languages that evolved from spoken Latin; these languages were termed "Romance" because it was the language spoken by "Romans."
