I'm a native Spanish speaker and I really enjoyed this video!! :D There is one rule in vowel pronunciation where you don’t pronounce the vowel U, which is when is between Q or G and E or I, so in words such as “queso” (cheese), “aquí” (here), “guerra” (war) and “guiso” (stew) the U is silent. That U is only pronounced when is written with ¨ like “pingüino” (penguin).

I read this book at around october 2015 and as of now, I have achieved a 10'000 word fluency in Czech. It doesn't feel like I've even done any work either. This system is one of the best things I have ever come across in my life.Thanks so much Gabriel you saved me years of my time!

Que curioso, nunca me habia puesto a pensar en la pronunciación de Israel como "Irrael" pero yo mismo lo digo de esa forma cuando hablo rapido

Lo ultimo sobre la acentuación le faltó algo fundamental que diría yo que es el truco maestro del español. Sí la palabras terminadas en N, S o vocal no tienen tilde es porque se acentúan ven la segunda sílaba. y de forma opuesta sí no termina en N,S o vocal y no tiene tilde eso significa que el acento está en la ultima silaba. Todas las demás palabras que no cumplen esta regla son marcadas con tilde por obligación ejemplo de esta es: épico, área, sádico...

Is it weird to be born in Mexico but have an accent?

[@115DELDE]

What?

[@nayibethgarcia1322]

115DELDE it’s cuz I have an accent like if I was born somewhere else.

[@115DELDE]

@@nayibethgarcia1322 aaaah, its just... your comment was kinda c9nfusing because all languages have accent, amd you did not specify which type of accent you had to begin with which made it even mlre confusing. What type of accent do you have to begin with?

[@nayibethgarcia1322]

115DELDE it sounds like I have it from Spain. My friends think I’m either from Spain or Puerto Rico. I mean I do have my mom side of the family from Spain but idk anything from my dads side.
