[@jrc58526]

I've been working my way through the mini course and these extra lessons for a week for a few hours each day. I'm amazed at how much Spanish I now understand in such a short time. This teaching format really works well for me. 😊

[@texuztweety]

You are the best Spanish teacher of all time. I will be purchasing your course soon. My ultimate hope is that I can find a similar course to teach me French and German in the future. Your methodology to by far the very best. Thank you so very much.

Thanks, you really are a great teacher, I appreciate your constant patience and repetition--it does not look like an easy job. I have had a couple years of duolingo level 22 - 23--but it is not like having someone explain everything--again thanks--mucho gusto mi hermano, Respecto, CJ

[@catsrigley]

Thank you Paul. I love the way you tie words and sentences together. Very easy to follow along. And I am glad you show the words while speaking, it makes it so much easier to understand how the word is being pronounced. I still can't hold a conversation but I am starting to think in Spanish while I'm doing things around the house.

[@geezer303]

Hi, Paul: This is the best Spanish course online. Very helpful and easy to understand and follow. Two thumbs up! Me Encarta maestro Paul. I just have a suggestion. Is it possible to add an index with a search function to your weekly lessons. It would be easy for us to go back again to review. Thanks.

[@alandenton1024]

You ungrateful person, the course is free and you want more, well if you want more why don't you purchase the full course?

"Muchas gracias." "Gracias" is feminine plural and therefore requires the feminine plural adjective "muchas."

[@rudymelo880]

It's "una" oportunidad

A spanish native speaker say: Me alegraría poder hablar español contigo. It is the correct sentence, but, if you are foreigner, no problem, we understand you

[@popolotay7219]

like always, a super useful video. Muchas gracias, Sr!

[@1113-f7o]

I love your videos because you provide a lot of examples. For me, the more examples there are of a concept, the more it is reinforced in my mind. That being said, can you make a video expressing "in a while" or "for awhile" in Spanish? There aren't a lot of resources online about that.

[@willtabacchi1408]

por un rato

[@willtabacchi1408]

por un rato = for a while -I think :)

[@legaleagle46]

"Me hace feliz." "Dar" can only be used with nouns. "Feliz" is an adjective and can therefore only be used with "hacer."

[@larrynarvaez7545]

You can say “Me da felicidad” for “Me hace feliz”. 😊✌️

[@farzadfarhadi7394]

great job Paul. Thank you so much.

[@82bandmom]

Just wondered if there were any other examples for using me hace other than feliz; and also why does "courage" mean mad in Spanish? Your lessons are very helpful. Thanks.

[@pepechucksito]

me hace feliz...it makes me happy tu me haces feliz...you make me happy me haces la tarea por favor...do you make the homework please me hace pensar...that makes me think--- etc ahhh and the word "coraje" is to be brave in english ellos estan defendiendo su pais con coraje(valentia), valiente they are defending his country with courage. courage= coraje, valentia o valiente he is courage= El es valiente mad= enojado (ungry) I hope these phrases help you. pd; I`m learning english too, bye

[@AriesMars]

Courage in spanish it can be mad or bravery, both meanings are accepted and correct. The word Courage etymologically its origin is in French and it has 2 meanings, the first was anger and the second was bravery, in Mexico it is mainly used as anger, in Spain it is used more as bravery. That is why an English-speaking person can be shocked by a different meaning, many English words originate from French and Latin.

[@mutiaalnimrat1945]

excellent presentation ✔🌟

[@birgitblume7877]

Gracias! Muy muy útil!

[@cristian52518]

Mucha gracias por esas lecciones senhor Paul. Me ayudarlo rapido aprender Espanol.

[@AriesMars]

Just to improve your knowledge In Spanish we write the words Señor y Español With the letter Ñ The word it should be written in plural always Like this Muchas gracias, Ending in < S > both words meaning Thank you But we can say without the two < S > mucha gracia meaning very funny Your comment written correctly it should be: Muchas gracias por esas lecciones señor Paul Me ayudar-on rápido - a - aprender español

[@joshelmer4987]

Thank you. Jos H.

[@Gilbertodrumond]

I think that : “it makes me mad” it’s : “eso me enoja” . Explain me please why is tranlated as “ me da coraje ”???

[@Nathan-sc7hs]

In this example, 'coraje' has nothing to do with courage - but instead means 'anger/rage/fury'.

[@manishdalal2032]

Gracias señor

[@hermanaluna3012]

Thanks very helpful vidéo .

[@vergineshatliff7315]

Hi Paul please can you tell me how to the word Excuse like you making excuse, thank you Paul!

[@legaleagle46]

Could you explain what you mean? "Excuse me" would be "Perdóneme" (formal singular), "Perdóname" (informal singular), "Perdónenme" (formal and informal plural), or simply "Perdón" (can be used either informally or formally, regardless of number). As a noun, "excuse" would be "excusa" or "pretexto," and "to make excuses" would be "poner excusas" (literally, "to put excuses") or "buscar pretextos" (literally, "to seek excuses").

[@HM-ll6qw]

Me da mucha alegria hablar Espanol and I hope that my speaking Italian will make this learning easy. Thank you Paul. I love your lessons and have just started. (But how do I type the ' over the letter I?) and how do I type the ~ over the letter n?) Do I have to change my computer settings to Spanish?

[@piedsvolants]

usefulshortcuts.com/alt-codes/accents-alt-codes.php

[@larrynarvaez7545]

I think that learning Italian is more difficult than learning Spanish. Among other things, there are more irregular verbs in Italian, spellings are more difficult, and articles are more varied. Having learned Spanish has helped in many ways, but has also interfered in more ways than one. 😊✌️

[@barrymcghee1]

Hi Paul, can we use "enojado" for the word "mad". I have never heard the word "coraje" and the online translator that I use shows the meaning as "courage" :) Just curious.

[@legaleagle46]

You can, but I personally would say "me enoja" for "it makes me mad."

[@isabelcalderon6669]

Me enojo si me hacen esperar es correcto pero es correcto tambien me da corage si me hacen esperar both are ok

[@isabelcalderon6669]

Courage is animar for example estoy animada para estudiar ingles

[@isabelcalderon6669]

Courage is tambien animar estoy animada para creer en el amor otravez

[@AriesMars]

Yes can use that word: enojado is more common In Spain we use: enfadado, cabreado.

[@arnelf36]

In Spanish you don't "make" mistakes but you "commit" mistakes. Therefore the correct way to say it in Spanish is COMETER ERRORES. "Me da risa pensar en todos los errores que cometo en espanol".

[@SpanishWithPaul]

Actually both cometer and hacer are used in Spanish when talking about mistakes. It depends upon the circumstances.

[@arnelf36]

SpanishWithPaul.com I'm just speaking based on experience. I already got corrected twice, once in Colombia and once in Spain using hacer errores. So I'm most likely not going to use it again. I think it is safer to stick with cometer.

[@SpanishWithPaul]

I agree arnelf36, it's a delicate thing. Stick to what you feel safest with. Today I asked some native Spanish speaker friends of mine about that sentence and they didn't see anything wrong with using hago in that context. Having said that, Spanish is so diverse that what may be acceptable in one country might not be in another.

Where are you

[@lesliefryer5882]

I NEED A VIDEO ABOUT POR. POR POR PLEASE HELP ME OUT. THANKS.

[@BMcKenna44]

In Paul's paid (and worth every penny many times over) course, there are about 1 hour and 45 minutes of lessons on por / para. You will learn how to use them.

[@KH-to7pr]

Pay and get his course- it’s addicting and worth the small fee. I just went through the POR vs PARA course and it became crystal clear in my head very quickly.

[@willtabacchi1408]

I believe the following explanation is largely correct: When an exchange is happening involving money, then use "para". However, if you want to say "for" use "por". Of course there are always exceptions of which the most common is "Esto es para ti" - this is for you. I also agree about Paul's paid course. It will be the best investment you can make.

[@fanman1wv]

Why are you using me da and not me hace in "me da miedo manejar solo en la noche" I'm confused.

[@larrynarvaez7545]

When “me hace” is used, an adjective is used to follow it. For examples, it makes me happy = me hace feliz or me hace alegre. When “me da” is used, a noun is used to follow it. For examples, me da felicidad (happiness) or me da alegría (happiness). 😊✌️ So, we say “me hace miedoso (fearful) manejar solo en la noche” or “me da miedo (fear) manejar solo en la noche”. 😊✌️

When do y use de nuevo vs otra vez for again?

[@rudymelo880]

The way I think of it (whether 100% correct or not) is that otra vez is literally "another time" and de nuevo is like "again." I think they are somewhat interchangeable

[@pepechucksito]

I`m speak spanish...when you say that... "quiero hacerlo otra vez" it is the same to say "quiero hacerlo de nuevo" for us is the same. I`m learning english like you in spanish. Any doubt you tell me.

[@sousouwhite9850]

Me da triste pensar no peudo hablar en español😴

[@hermanaluna3012]

Sousou White el correcto es decir me hace triste

[@legaleagle46]

"Me da tristeza." The difference between the two constructions is that "hacer" can only be used with adjectives and verbs ("me hace reir," for "it makes me laugh," for example) and "dar" can only be used with nouns. So you can say "me hace triste" OR "me da tristeza," but NEVER "me da triste."

[@brianmcmacken2275]

I thought esperar was to wait for? Tengo que esperar mucho tiempo? Un poco confundido!!!

[@ikeyeboahasante4080]

it could be "to wait or to hope"

[@beerbandit291]

We wait in hope?

[@larrynarvaez7545]

We wait or hope. 😊✌️

[@sousouwhite9850]

Why can't say : da me alegria, it's easier. Sorry for the interference 🙋

[@legaleagle46]

Because the rule in Spanish is that the object prounoun always goes BEFORE the conjugated verb in a statement or a question, never after it.

[@kburke4644]

That would mean « Give me joy » instead of « It gives me joy » You’ll understand it more once you learn the imperative mood
