I always learn something new. More than I thought I would be able to

[@davidcattin7006]

Years ago I tested at the "near native" level on the Department of Defense Spanish test. Due to regular use, I think my Spanish has only gotten better since then. I watch your videos because you are so professional and always very clear and concise. As a professional teacher/trainer my whole work life, I know how much effort it takes to make it look as easy as you do. You are right, there is usually something I pick up that either I didn't know or had forgotten. Always good to review! If nothing else, it's a joy to watch you just being such a good teacher. You always impress. Would love to live in Mexico part of the year some time. Best regards from Indiana!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you very much for continuing to watch. I appreciate it. :)

[@caro1591]

Es hora de decir muchas gracias.

[@ronpascal9435]

This guy is the best teacher ever

[@misstango1001]

Never know what to expect from each new lesson

[@mwiebe2663]

I guess I’m one of the people whom you don’t understand why we watch your videos when we’re already fluent. I echo some of the other comments here, that they are simply enjoyable for those of us who love the Spanish language, and your understanding of certain things which specifically trip up native English speakers is definitely value added. Watching your videos I have had several “aha” moments in terms of the “why” of something, because I learned Spanish intuitively by immersion and a well used paperback dictionary I carried with me everywhere (no google or even internet back then…), rather than with formal instruction. And I very much appreciate your use of proper grammatical terms. Since I didn’t learn Spanish in a classroom, I don’t know the names of the various tenses, I just use them. I remember doing one of those on-line Spanish placement tests to assess one’s level. My answers to the actual Spanish questions were all correct. Where I messed up is when they wanted me to identify a conjugation in a specific tense, e.g. the “subjuntivo pretérito pluscuamperfecto” form of whatever verb. Now when I look that up (hubiera / hubiese + past participle), it’s a tense I use with ease, but of course I don’t remember that it’s formally the subjunctive pretérito pluscuamperfecto tense. Anyway, I’m a fan of your videos and recommend them to friends who are trying to learn Spanish.

[@vickykoen]

Easy yet helpful.

[@leeholden13]

It is difficult to teach to all levels, but you do a great job. Even if I know something, your lessons are great refreshers. I feel like I am a c-ish. I can carry on a reasonable conversation but I have a lot of trouble with movies, TV, radio, etc. Often, I understand when I have spanish subtitles, but even words I know, don’t register with my brain when spoken. I would love some lessons where you play movie/TV clips and deal with words that are run together, truncated, etc. Thanks

[@QrooSpanish]

That's a great video idea. Thanks.

[@misstango1001]

Like mixing up and keepin to a pattern. They are so ueseful. You’re the best

[@rsmrymcgwn]

Why do we watch and listen? 1 The A1 to low B2 are learning or filling in gaps in their learning. 2. Refresh what one has forgotten even for the B2-C2 learners. Studies state that we need to see or hear certain words or phrases 10-15 times for it’s deep in our memory. I do save some of your examples in Anki because I will forget but by reviewing in a week, a month or a year it will be cemented in my long term memory. 3 As an native English speaker and a good grasp of Spanish you understand why certain concepts are difficult for English learners. The B2 to C2 probably took lessons with native Spanish teachers that couldn’t understand why students don’t get it or can’t explain the why is it this or that way. And because as adults we learn better knowing why. 4 Your idea of plug-ins. I searched my files and saw the phrases used today but never did I consider them in terms of plug-ins or drop-ins phrases. I too love discovering patterns. 5 You are living in Mexico so you know how Spanish is spoken and used plus your lovely wife adds her Colombian background to the lessons. People trust that when they go to or live in Mexico they will speak like a local. 6 The lessons are short and specific. 7 You have a unique and effective teaching style. You aren’t like teachers with their textbooks.

[@QrooSpanish]

You are definitely one of the most advanced non-native Spanish speakers that follows my channel. You are super advanced. You make some very good points. I would like to address #5. I did live in Mexico full time for several years; however, my wife and I had to return to the U.S. to look after her mother. She is suffering from some cognitive issues. Our goal is to move back to Mexico at some point. We still have permanent residency there.

[@sullivanjones4163]

Eres el mejor maestro que nunca he tenido. Gracias por los videos.

[@QrooSpanish]

Gracias. :)

[@KathleenSzpara]

Gracias por tus videos. A veces es mas facile de aprender de un persona que habla ingles. Ojalá que un día tengas un podcast así que puedo escuchar en mi carro. Gracias por todo!!

[@aaronrivers64]

These are absolutely the best Spanish lessons here on KZbin. Although I'm maxed out on my join supports with other channels I need to join your channels as well. Muchas gracias por todas tus lecciones, aqui y mas tarde. En serio. 👍🏾

[@arlingtonguy54]

I love the beginning Spanish series and do watch in order but your new videos pop up in my feed so watch those too even if they are too advanced. At least I’m exposed to advanced concepts. Keep it up it has been very helpful and enjoyable. 😊

[@J_Christopher620]

Sigues adelante mejorando tu español. ¡Puedes hacerlo!

[@Brendan-t8y]

Great point: it’s not linear and I needed this reminder.

[@duangaolu]

Your instruction is just so good. I always learn something. Thanks.

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad it was helpful!

[@goldvideo]

I have tested at a C1 level and I absolutely do get excellent tidbits out of each of your videos. For example, the other day you mentioned "sobrevivir a" and I never knew that!

[@QrooSpanish]

I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for watching.

[@chrisslova1613]

Thank you for all your great videos. Yes, that's how I've learned Spanish, the a la carte way. Your videos, especially the one you showed with the 10 questions that we had to translate into Spanish. I saw a lot of my gaps in Spanish, so thank you so much for all your tips and suggestions.

[@jamesfreese4700]

Good video-helpful content and construction!!!

[@rosedecastro4951]

I love this mini practice ❤❤

[@KathleenClark-wj4uc]

A mí también 😁

[@edwardmoran1739]

Another useful, easy Spanish gem !!!

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad to hear that!

[@mwiebe2663]

Just plain “¡Ya es hora!” or “¡Ya era hora!” can mean “It’s about time!”

[@radygaga4089]

Can you make a complete video about "Ya". Please 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@QrooSpanish]

I can!!

[@MelizaCarino-ip9lm]

Its time to say thank you so much for sharing. I learned a lot..

[@QrooSpanish]

I'm so glad!

[@doyourbest7655]

HS Spanish, just learned some verbs and some conjugation. When real life happened years later as a foreman with a Mexican crew it was a shock that I knew how to say nothing. Years go by and learn the names of tools bu using a marks-a-lot to write the name on it. Now with you I am learning sentence structure and see what some of the words look like when written. The Spanish I know is related to work, but nothing when socializing. This is the best! 😊

[@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426]

The education system in the US is definitely lacking in many areas !!! Why don't we teach kids from the beginning how to speak Espanol is beyond me? The US has the second highest Spanish speaking population behind Mexico 😮

[@josedelnegro46]

An act of Congress around 1956 did the damage. Gorge Washington spoke Greek, Latin, English, French, and all of the native languages of the Ohio Valley. Franklin Roosevelt did not need the CIA. There was no such Thing. He spoke German. So he knew what Hitler was up to. Write Congress ask them to refund language study at the primary level. I tell native mono English speakers all the time that if they want to get into the best universidades in the US they will need to prove they have had a language other then English during their years in school. Most often that warning Is ignored.

[@lmcperson]

Great 👍 lesson!!! When will you write a book for Spanish learners? It will do well!!

[@andrestrigo4618]

Cool videos man, I don't how i even stumbled upon them (native Spanish speaker here). Great level of Spanish! If i may contribute to your already amazing work, I've noticed you hit the letter d pretty hard, making it an occlusive sound in every situation instead of varying it between that and the fricative sound, I think making that small adjustment would help you sound more natural while speaking the language and could help your learners have a better understanding of the pronunciation of the words. Great job man!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for the feedback. :)

[@thefatlosscode365]

Excellent video my man

[@evguenivichnevetski8063]

Muchas gracias amigo !

[@user-zy8ct8yr7n]

Es hora de agradecer

[@mikedenham5882]

I am going to be honest, you mi amigo are the best! I’ve had Spanish teachers whose second language was English so, well it’s as if (como si) you’ve done half the work for us gringitos, you have infiltrated the Spanish culture (como si fueras un espia, but in a good way) so thank you again. I feel like if i can’t learn it from you it’s my own fault!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you very much. :)

[@stevekollen1672]

Es hora de que también nos filme un video acerca de la construcción gramatical en la que se utilizan verbos que no sigan en un tiempo infinitivo, sí o no? Just to make Spanish more and more fun each and every moment of the day.

[@wafaaabdelaziz5118]

Muchas gracias muy bien

[@CynthiaWinward]

I absolutely love your useful phrases videos. I usually make the phrases into a wallpaper screen for my phone so I can practice them for days. 🎉 ¡Gracias Paul!

[@QrooSpanish]

That's a great idea!

[@Teeheeweewee]

That is a great idea. I’m gonna do it too!

[@superpatrickman123]

Gran lección, gracias

[@turbinetech3000]

Esta maestro Bueno. Gracias necessito estudiar verbos en futuro

[@comounaverdura]

Gracias Qroo

[@srjimburnetto]

That was great! I love me some formula phrases that use infinitives! Thanks for sharing

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad it was helpful!

[@laughterontheroad5034]

Your lesson methods help me a great deal. I use the new phrases to apply to how I will be using Spanish in my circumstances. Thank you.

[@zod_el3334]

Man i just found your lessons they are amazing!

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad you like them!

[@adamchorley2382]

Hi Paul, can you do a video about the Spanish vowel sounds? When you and others say the word 'que' it sounds like 'kay' should it not be pronounced 'keh'? The same for me, te, se etc. The last e sounds like 'ay'

[@OGillo2001]

Gracias Paul!

You're welcome 😊

[@liaellemae]

This might be a strange ask but lately I’ve been wondering how I can make my Spanish sounds more casual like when speaking in real time for example, in English saying things like “I’m just going to the shop” or “that’s so good” rather than it sounding formal “I’m going to the shop” or “that’s very good” I hope I’m making sense but I think it would be very helpful if there could be a short video on this

[@MrShikasta]

Im pretty sure I get something from all your videos jaja. When is "ya" at the start of a sentence now and when is it already?

[@rosamanzuela5540]

Gracias por el video. Tengo una pregunta. Yo estoy estoy aprendiendo inglés. Mi pregunta es la siguiente, sería igual para inglés que aplicar este método, porque no estoy segura, usualmente trato de no usar videos bilingües .

[@kaym.2854]

Great video as usual. Love the practice sessions at the end. When you first mentioned it, I thought "ya es hora de" meant "it's time already" like when time flies and there's that element of surprise. e.g. It's 6am already?! I've gotta get to my class at 6:30." . But I guess not. Anyway, another great lesson, es hora de irme😅 Hasta luego!

[@QrooSpanish]

Ya can mean already or now.

[@bonethriller7047]

Enjoyable video!

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@iceshrapnel7257]

Can you make a video about "Hay que" I know it means 'one must'... but that's such a low frequency/highly generalized statement even in English, I don't understand it's usage in Spanish very well.

[@crudeoilgarage3570]

Does youtube track download too? I download a lot of your videos and listen to them at the gym.

[@QrooSpanish]

I don't see that specific stat in the analytics.

[@CleonaPattersoneFluentEnglish]

Es hora de ver un vídeo de Qroo Paul y aprender otra expresión útil. Gracias!😉

[@loriboo651]

I always learn in real life situations, the word verb scares me lol

[@briangosvener651]

Before watching.. just from reading the title I’m going to go with “Es la hora de..” Like Es la hora de dormir It’s bedtime or it’s time to sleep Now.. I click play and see what qroo Paul has to say

[@briangosvener651]

I’m used to hearing it with the “la” but after watching I kinda like leaving it out better. What about La hora de salirnos ya ha pasado.. I wonder if that would be a correct way if saying it’s already past time to…

[@anthonyjackson6372]

Can you use "acabar" in place of "terminar"?

[@QrooSpanish]

Yes.

[@Cenlalowell]

Man i did good proud of myself here

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

👍

[@josedelnegro46]

We all must watch because time is not the same every where. A native Spanish speaker most often does not know how time differs from place to place. So any phrase with time reckoning in it is difficult to deal with. Thus level of language does not provide a different point of view that comes from living in another part of the World .kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6TZl5qan5ejbJo
