Love this series! I've been looking forward to this upload for awhile. Apart from your channel, do you have any favorite resources for Spanish dialectology, or learning Spanish in general?

Thank you so much! I'm sorry, but I don't watch any other Spanish channels. My resources for making most of my videos are my own observations and experiences, plus academic books and papers.

I’m interested in seeing you speaking Spanish. Like on a comprehensible input video. From the short fragments where I’ve seen you speaking Spanish it seems like you are really good!. As a native Spanish speaker, it’s very rare seeing someone (who’s primary language is English) speaking this good, you deserve a lot more recognition. Wishing the best!!🙌🏻

I had someone sincerely ask me for information on learning Spanish in a comment section where he appreciated something I wrote about the process which disagreed with the base, the very popular fan-boy basking author of the channel. So, first, I was shocked the Justin Beaver lovers all didn’t just jump on me. Through that sharing, that desire to reach out and truly help that guy, I got pregnant. No, I’m joking. Obviously not but, I had to pull back. Okay so, what I’m stupidly trying to say is, you're not a machine, you’re not put on this earth to answer my question and, I do appreciate you doing so and thank you. Plus, I respect your massive 30 years experience!! If you’re so inclined to answer, have you ever had or known of a student who had serious memorization difficult with very specific stems? In my case, it’s Spanish stems starting with Es- and Er- . Some words which took me a while, I found I could disassemble and get, like Rocambolesco. It even makes the word far more in-depth and interesting. However, Esquirse, espabilarse, estirar, ...even after one year, I only remember these in context. There's a blank in each case where a meaning should be.

Sorry, never heard of that particular issue. It's understandable, though. Neurology is a strange and interesting thing and I can imagine that given a particular brain wiring it could be challenging to remember words with particular phonological structure.

I've been loving this series! When you finish here, do you plan on going back to the pronunciation critique? Would be great to do an updated version of my accent!
@tenminutespanish Жыл бұрын
Thanks, Derek. I have considered doing a follow up with some of my previous participants. I've had two others who have been working on improving their pronunciation and would like to see how much they've improved. I'd be happy to include you. If I do it, it won't be for a while, though. At least 6 months from now. In the meantime, if you'd like to make a recording and send it to me, I'd be happy to listen to it and email you my thoughts.

ls is possible that you could give us like tonge possitions and general instructions on how to move our mouths? that would be helpful for us because when people use techinal terms with the IPA, we can get confused and It sometimes puzzles me. I want to make these sounds too! Sorry if I might have sounded rude.
@yackaquacker7992 Жыл бұрын
Do not get me wrong, your videos have helped me, but some of the sounds I have no Idea how to make myself without some general instructions. It was helpful when I was learning mandarin sounds, they showed us pictures and diagrams to help people (including me).

I need you help for pronounciation. Yoouuur all videos about pronouncing b,d,g were amazing.and priceless for me. I need one for s. I hear sh sometimes from Madrid speakers.but I cannot understand when it becomes like soft [sh] . Which patterns lead to it
@tenminutespanish10 ай бұрын
There are two sibilant sounds native to north central Spain. One is like the English "th" sound. It is found in words where /c/ is followed by /e,i/ and also /z/. Examples are "cielo", "cena", and "caza", which are pronounced like "thielo", "thena", and "catha" (assuming English-style pronunciation). The /s/ sound in north central Spain is DIFFERENT from the /s/ sound in southern Spain and Latin America. It is called "apical /s/" and to many people it sounds kinda like English "sh". There is no rule for when to pronounce it this way. It is always pronounced this way by natives of certain dialects of north central Spain. But although it sounds like "sh" to non-Spaniards, it isn't really "sh". I have never made a video on this topic, so I can't give you any more information for now.
