Indirect Object Pronouns

Bro exactlyy T-T or else i really have no hope passing my spanish finals

[@PeterMasalski93]

I used to believe that "Native Speakers" were better teachers than those who went through the arduous process of understanding the language from scratch... The reality is, that people who were born and raised in their mother language, don't know how their language is assembled, they just speak.. From this day on, I always seek a person like me who went through the whole process of learning and understanding the language before being fluent at it.. Once you reach a high level, you can focus on Native speakers... Thanks Spanish dude!

[@brentmcdougle5304]

so true.. I speak excellent English... but I never knew why what I was saying was correct... just that it WAS correct. I've had to go back and review all that crap from 5th grade and middle school about object pronouns, infinitives, etc... just to get a firm grasp on how Spanish works lol.

[@TheMaru666]

I am here for English listening practice , and I agree with you . Some native speakers are good at teaching and some are not . Foreighn teachers are good at explaining grammar concepts to those who speak the same first language than them , because they had to analice a lot of their learned language structure to become fluent.

[@lolasan3702]

Well if they are a teacher then they have to know the curriculum and they all went to school to be a teacher. They would know more words and be more fluent because they speak it in their everyday day live, not to mention that learning a language isn’t just the language but the culture behind it. I’m not saying that non Hispanic people can’t teach Spanish, but I am saying that you can’t rule out natives for it being their first language

[@Tamara-ju3lh]

@@lolasan3702 I think some native teachers are excellent, but they do have a hard time explaining the parts of the language that don't make sense, as they never had to go through the process themselves. It's the same for me as an English speaker. I would not be as good at teaching English as someone who had to learn it from scratch.

[@lolasan3702]

@@Tamara-ju3lh I agree with you, I was just try to emphasize that just because they are native does not mean they are automatically worse at teaching

[@getalife214]

So why wasn't my teacher with a masters in the spanish language not able to teach this a bit better?

[@bbmary3066]

because degrees often mean shit. being a good teacher is a talent as well.

[@TheMaru666]

You can be very good with something , but , at the same time , unable to share that knowledge . Knowing a lot about a subject doesn't make you a good teacher.

[@What_was_wrong_w_jst_our_names]

This is beyond my level. Its explained so well but my comprehension hasn't caught up to this yet. Makes me realize how much of a beginner I am, but I'm happy because I know videos like this show me that fluency is in my reach, eventually

You should take a pronunciation class for the sake of the students. Awesome lesson in terms of content, but the accent can really teach the Spanish students the wrong way to speak. You say "Español" like I would if I was trying to sound white on purpose, and my Spanish isn't even that good. Just a suggestion, though.

[@TheMaru666]

For people who are strugling with basic Spanish grammar , his pronunciation is good enough even with the obvious gringo accent . To be able to say sentences with good grammar , right conjugation , good pronouns use , and to be able to adquire a decent pronunciation ( he has it good enough to be perfectly understood ), and being aware of false friends and so is far more important than a native like accent and pronunciation at this level of learning . Once you get to be fluent , and once you are able to express your ideas clearly in Spanish , have then the pronunciation classes , like the frosting in a cake .
