I am so thrilled to have found you. Your voice is so pleasingly melodic. I do not see how this could possibly be more enjoyable or understandable. Thank you so very much for your generosity. You have become my favorite 6-10 minutes of any given day. Poor Paula

I attended 20 hours Spanish lessons already but can barely speak & understand anything. Thanks for this complete free lesson. I plan to listen & practice 1-2 audio/s per day. Personally, I love this method. I used this method last year and reached conversational level of Japanese faster. :)

Do you know of a similar channel for Japanese?

@BatJoker Thanks a ton!

[@jagaimo6013]

Paul Boyd if you're still interested there's a channel called Matt vs Japan which has informative videos on the methods of learning Japanese.

00:00 📜 Convertible words in English can be transformed to Spanish using specific rules. 00:27 🇪🇸🔀 Ending "ent," "ant," or "ent" in English often becomes "ente" in Spanish. 02:14 🌟 Word patterns in Spanish help connect meanings and pronunciations. 03:22 🇪🇸🔊 English "j" sound becomes "j" or "g" sound in Spanish based on context. 04:31 🏃‍♂ Experimenting with convertible vocabulary expands conversational skills. 06:06 🧠 Being comfortable with errors while experimenting accelerates learning. Made with HARPA AI Summary The video discusses language transfer techniques for learning Spanish using the Thinking Method. It highlights rules for converting English words to Spanish, such as appending "s" to create convertible words, considering stress for accents, converting "j" sounds to "h" sounds, and altering words ending in "ally" or "ably." The method aims to provide over 3,000 words for conversational use while encouraging experimentation with vocabulary conversion. Highlights 💡 English words can be converted to Spanish by adding "s" to create convertible words. 💡 Stress and accent placement are crucial when determining the Spanish equivalent. 💡 "J" sounds in English become "h" sounds in Spanish, like "Argentina" becoming "Argentinha." 💡 Words ending in "ally" or "ably" can be converted syllable by syllable with accent placement. 💡 Over 3,000 words can be achieved through these techniques, enhancing conversational skills. 💡 The method encourages experimentation while learning, allowing for rapid vocabulary acquisition.

@@staticshock2807 yes, I'll try to post more as I go along the chapters.

[@User22_2g]

I think it's arhentina!! Not argentinha or something else

[@steepsister5002]

The “g” and “rolling r” sounds are difficult for me, but it helps so much to hear the instructor and the student pronounce them repeatedly.

[@TheMscici]

these are great! however, the instructions say to pause the recording to form your own answers but he asks the questions quickly and she responds rapidly so it is hard to do so. There needs to be a longer pause- so there is enough time to pause the video without hearing he answer.

[@LanguageTransfer]

+Cici Battle Hey there I just saw this sorry about the delay! Others have commented on this and the time to pause (1-1.5sec) has been doubled on the courses made since to always 2 seconds. I understand at times the 1sec can mean that sometimes you might hear the answer before realising you should pause. If this occurs however, you should pause anyway and rethink it out, if it's only now and again it shouldn't cause any problem at all if you do this! Best!

[@NorhanizaRomzan]

Cici Battle personally I think the time gap is ok, because some learners are fast learner and not patient to wait for longer time gap. :)

[@mspococurante]

What is this woman's native language? I have never heard a beginner who's native language is English speak Spanish with SUCH a good accent. She has a better accent in Spanish than you?! She sounds so natural, rolling her Rs and all. I cannot get my mom to stop saying R like the English rrrrr.

[@victoria-le7ew]

she could just have a spanish mother haha like me. i have a spanish accent that can trick natives. it’s weird but maybe it’s because i’ve heard my mother speak growing up!

[@DanksterPaws]

Or could be a filipino! We can develop a spanish accent really easily, if not already sounding spanish.

[@djdramademiks6823]

To me she just sounds like a white American possibly Southern woman trying her best

[@jamesmccloud7535]

I think I remember it being mentioned that she is Greek or something. Spanish and Greek do share similar pronunciation.

[@Cloudancer2024]

I don't think she is a total novice. She sounds like someone who speaks Spanish at an A2 or B1 level, i.e., high beginner or low intermediate level. Virtually no one speaks Spanish with that good of an accent unless they have studied and/or had prior exposure to the language. Also a total beginner wouldn't be able to answer so quickly (in most instances). The first time I tried this series I had difficulty because the lessons moved too quickly. I gave up after 3 lessons. Now that my Spanish has improved through studying and traveling in Latin America, the lessons are much easier. So if you are having difficulty, or she seems to answer too quickly, it's not you. These lessons, in my opinion, are for people who have studied and can speak basic Spanish, not total beginners.

[@nonlocalflow]

Is the pronunciation of the soft "g" sound here true for Mexican Spanish as well? I feel like I don't hear it as much.

[@paintbokx]

Of course, one of the notorious problems with english is that there’s no way to know if it’s spelled -able or -ible. At least as a native speaker, I’ve never been able to figure it out.

[@LanguageTransfer]

Hey! I mention this at some point in the audios although maybe not in this context... but that's also a great thing about learning Spanish in this way! It'll force you to notice and resolve doubts you have about English, not to mention being able to decipher unfamiliar words in English through Spanish, I think I gave 'mordent' as an example in one of these tracks! :)

[@kyleanderson9831]

nice videos, only thing is no video, thats fine though

Hello Kyle! It be great to have videos too but for a project with our resources it's very difficult. Please share the courses and hopefully we'll find the collaborations to release some workshops in video form in the near future :)

[@LanguageTransfer]

Mahmoud Abbas Hi! We discuss spellings as we go along so you can feel free to visualise them, and we also make clarifications on letters etc, but the courses are focused on learning with sound. You can read more on the decision not to include handbooks/transcripts here! www.languagetransfer.org/#!thinking-method/c1hpa

[@fatmanfitness248]

+Language Transfer A few notes to point out these rules would be useful so we can refer to it again later. From just listening it's a bit tough to remember which is which.

[@nathanrooney2027]

I thought cognates just happened. No one ever told me they happened at specific times.

[@ShahidKhan-uf8hd]

By any chance comfortable is pronounced same way?

[@Cloudancer2024]

Yes, but swap the "m" for an "n." Confortable and confortablemente. Also, IME "cómodo" is used more often for comfortable than confortable, but this probably depends on which country you're in. Both are acceptable.

[@ShahidKhan-uf8hd]

[@Cloudancer2024]

I think it leans more toward Latin American Spanish than European Spanish (spoken in Spain) because he's not speaking the "s" sound with the "th" lisp that is found in Spain.

[@footballworld1651]

This is good however I am English and am terrible at spelling in English so it's hard for me to figure out how it's spelt in English then transferring that to Spanish

[@LanguageTransfer]

Think of it as a bonus... I mention at some point in the course how Spanish improved my English! It really did. For one thing I realised how 'could of, would of' couldn't possibly be what I was saying! haha Learning Spanish will probably make you realise a lot of things you are uncertain of in your native language, use it all to clarify those doubts and become more language conscious generally, let the two feed into one another, it's a ball! 🤪

[@bonbonpony]

05:20 This might be the biggest drawback of this method, since a beginner is unable to tell if the conversion from English to Spanish would produce a meaningful result in some cases. Also I wonder how well would this method work in other languages that are not rooted in Latin, such as, for example, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic etc. because I don't think there would be much similarities to exploit this way :q

I'd say so, it goes very much into the grammar, proper sentences, tenses, conjugations etc.
