[@lindanoriega7189]

I have never felt so hopeful that I might finally learn a language. Please don’t stop doing what you’re doing, just the way you’re doing it! Thanks so much!!!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for the feedback! I am currently upgrading my equipment and I plan to use it to make many more videos.

[@joycewycoff3061]

Paul ... it's not your equipment, it's your approach. I've just about done it all ... wish I had started with you.@@QrooSpanish

[@birsenaltayliozemir8628]

Same feelings

[@starkarabil9260]

same here!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks!

[@drmwm1]

This presentation is the best out there on this topic. No worries about the length, we all have a pause button!! Thanks a million.

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vickipendergrass2050]

I know a lot of other people have said this, but you absolutely have a gift for teaching. This is the first time I've actually understood the direct and indirect object pronouns. It just clicked after watching this video. I need lots more practice, but the framework is finally there.

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. You made my day. :)

[@zoric2009]

I love the long videos, I listen to your videos repeatedly while walking my pets at 5am, I can’t watch the videos at this time because I have to keep an eye on them. My morning start with 1-2hrs of listening to your lessons on repeat. After 4 weeks, I’m just now moving onto lesson 8 and things really do make sense. I think people get frustrated when they follow lesson like they’re binging on Netflix and that’s not how a language is learned. You have to repeat the same lesson numerous times and I tend to play them from 1-7 regularly and then restart. Love the work you do! Huge Thank you !!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

[@Steveyyyidk]

I've been studying spanish an embarrassingly long time without being fluent. I've been watching your videos and they resonate much more deeply than any book or videos I've seen. This topic of using le and les had been an insurmountable climb for me. You're an excellent teacher who has a gift for explaining and I'm finally starting to get it. Great job.

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you!

[@heathercallaghan3975]

I have understood everything else so far and feel like I am getting to grips with the direct and indirect object pronouns but may have to watch the videos like 4 or 5 times before its fully stuck in there haha.

[@AparnaSharma-p4o]

Hola paul. Como esta’s. yo soy de india. There are 28 states in india with different languages. I can speak only 3 language. English, hindi, and Marathi our local language. After watching Pablo escobar, senora acera, el chapo in Netflix I fell in love with Spanish language and thus it started. I am following your channel for the last 3 months. Now I have started framing basic sentences. You way of teaching is excellent. Muchas gracias

[@QrooSpanish]

Hi. That's a lot of languages! It's great that you are looking to add one more to your list. That is impressive.

[@warrentrafford7257]

Hi @QrooSpanish is lo, la and les used the same way as se, sus and tus?

[@user-xi3fp7je8s]

you are literally the best channel for learning spanish. before, I would just try to have as much input as possible, trying to understand and grow my vocabulary. but now, by actually watching your videos and lessons, learning spanish has been a faster and smoother process. You've taught me more than any other channel. Not to hate on other youtubers, but they tend to just BS and take forever to get to the point. By then I'm tired of it and click off, feeling less motivated. Thank you for the time, effort, and work you put into these.

[@QrooSpanish]

That's great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.

[@Ahmed-hz1wr]

Greetings from a native arabic speaker from Egypt, You are a talented teacher by nature. Very clear explanation.

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you very much!

[@dawnarrow2204]

A big Thank You from Australia. Love the way you present the lessons. They are compact with relevant information for English speakers to relate to Spanish. Don't worry about the comments about lessons being long. I can always watch them in short chunk, repeat until I get the whole concept. Keep doing what you're doing Qroo. Thumbs up from me.

[@brantrichardson1949]

This was a good one, an area that has consistently confused me. I would be happy to have an hour long video drilling this over and over. Thank you.

[@QrooSpanish]

I'm glad you liked it. I talk more about this topic in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3TMf6t7pb-hp9U

[@yolandassj4529]

Thanks, Paul! The videos are just fine with me as you said depending on the topic you're presenting. Your generosity and effort to help is priceless. May you and your family be blessed always.

[@tvinht1]

Thanks Paul for this video. I can watch DOP/IOP construction videos with your practice exercises all day. It’s starting to get easier to do the mental gymnastics in my head with the word order and to remember to use “se lo”. Mil gracias! 🙏 Please keep sharing your awesome videos! 100k subscribers soon!!

[@stephanieing404]

Thanks for continuing the series. The first three lessons made a big difference for my last trip to Mexico. I was able to communicate with people who didn’t speak English!

[@QrooSpanish]

That's great to hear!

[@jagza1]

Thank you so much for these lessons Qroo! I’m finally beginning to gain a functional understanding of the mechanics of the language. Your lessons are incredibly informative and I greatly appreciate your encouraging approach! I remember taking Spanish in high school. The teacher’s approach was complete immersion so I felt totally lost from day one. I’m ashamed to admit that I am Hispanic and grew up with Spanish speaking parents who focused more on teaching me proper English because in those days, bilingualism was not recognized as a positive thing. Conversely, all my cousins who were raised in the Rio Grande valley were taught Spanish as their primary language and speak fluently. Thank you Qroo for posting these lessons and giving me the opportunity to finally learn the language once and for all!

[@vectorvix6254]

Even if your videos were 30 minutes, I would still watch because your teaching style is so comprehensive and easy to follow.

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you for the feedback.

[@StevenMitchell-o7u]

Great lesson. I need all the help I can get with this subject. Love the practice questions too. No problem with the length of the lesson either.

[@cloudyseattle]

I say take all the time you need to do the lesson completely and thoroughly. People can always stop it and return later if they need to. I appreciate your no-nonsense approach. Estudio con una profesora in Vallarta, pero su lecciones son muy serficial. Gracias. (I'm sure there's a way to add accents, but I'll need to find it.) I have to say that DOPs and IOPs are making me a little crazy.

[@deamauger3714]

Yes! It is time for me to start learning these words. I've finally made it to the point where it's making sense. Thank you for your calm presentations.

[@QrooSpanish]

Wonderful!

[@thesushifiend]

Fantastic lesson and I definitely appreciate longer lessons!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for the feedback. :)

[@thesushifiend]

@@QrooSpanish I’ll buy you a coffee. Your lessons are better than Danny Evans’ because they go into much more detail and that’s only possible because they’re longer.

[@johnnydominos]

The length of your videos are on par, well constructed, informative, entertaining, and timely. Although I can understand the desire to watch shorter videos, 20 to 30 minutes is an appropriate lecture for an instructor such as yourself. Even though, I've enjoyed all my previous instructors, and I've had many, you have the wisdom to share the recognizable patterns that work. I knew everything up until lesson 5. All remaining videos are just making everything else I've learned come into alignment. I could have saved so much money on tuition fees. I hope you will continue to share your knowledge.

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.

[@prussianmapping-8]

I'm following this course. I admit I was struggling with IDP & DOP, and I watched the previous lessons just hoping It would click, but this video made me get it! Thank you for all your work this course is really teaching more than all the years of grade school Spanish.

[@QrooSpanish]

That's great to hear! This is a tough aspect of the language.

[@carolynburke5373]

I have tried many ways to learn Spanish. Paul’s approach is the most understandable and practical way I have found.

[@StivJustic]

You are a really great teacher. Your delivery style is fantastic. Cheers

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks! 😃

[@rban123]

¡Tus videos han mejorado mi nivel de español muchísimo! No puedo agradecerte suficiente por todo tú haces.

[@algebarb]

Two things, regarding what you said about some folks saying the first videos in this series were too long: 1) this one IS shorter than your first 7 of the series, by about 10 minutes! and 2) I didn't think the others were 'too long.' Your teaching style is perfect for me!

[@anderstreiberg]

Thanks, Paul for continuing these lessons. They are so good. I was just on a Panama Canal cruise and I realized how much you have taught me. Your lessons are the best out there hands down.Thanks

[@petrapb611]

Thank you, your lessons are very helpul and I also learn some new English vocabulary 😊

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you very much!

[@paulcragg463]

Hi Paul. Obviously everyone has there own opinion. However I would like to say that I personally like the longer formats that you present. So thanks once again for your patience.

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Take care.

[@conniebreck1812]

You are a fantastic teacher. You missed your calling. I understand so much more of what I've learned from using an app. The why part

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks. I think it is important to know why something is the way it is because it helps us learn the patterns. Then we can repeat those patterns with different vocabulary and say whatever we want.

[@misookkim4974]

To me today's lesson is the hardest n most difficult part in Spanish learning~I have just repeated twice your lesson to be more comfortable about he DOT n IDOT~Now I feel more comfortable about them,although not complete~I would repeat listening your lecture on n on~anyway thanks SO much~mucho gracias,Paul~😊

[@karinastephenson4251]

Wow i’m so impressed with your teaching style. You’re clear and very easy to understand. Each class is done at a perfect length. I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve watched 8 clases today and have 2 babies. I’m finally hopeful and enjoying learning it more than ever. Thank you! Great work!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you! 😃

[@bitalaishram6641]

This is the best explanation, its so well executed. The length is perfect. Those who prefer to shorten can fast forward. Muchas gracias 👍

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@robertsellers7895]

You make these concepts SO simple! Please keep making this series! I’ve been using Duolingo for 10 months and can speak well about things around the house, shopping, my routine, etc. but I’m not very conversational. This series is really helping change that for me. Thank you!!!

[@susanfernandes8094]

Thank you!! I have been studying Spanish for so long and with your help I am finally having the courage to try speaking with the locals here in Mazatlan!!

[@QrooSpanish]

Wonderful!

[@catalow54]

It finally makes sense!!!! Thank you! I love Spanish. I love Mexico! I now love Direct and Indirect Pronouns!!!

[@soilsminor4715]

This vid is awesome!! Helps me so much. Perfect explanation and examples…. I love being introduced to Vocabulary in the examples also

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much for the donation!

[@juliashulgin4232]

Your lessons length (15-25 min) and the system (the patterns) are perfect. Looking forward to lesson 9.

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for the feedback. :)

[@PamelaDeCastro-z7i]

You are the best Spanish tutor ever ❤ Thank you Qroo Paul

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you!

[@natalieperry9482]

These are not too long. Éstos Videos Tan lleno de información importante para aprender español ¡gracias por estos Videos, maestro! 😊 ( trying my Spanish on your comment section. Correct as needed)

[@stevel6420]

If someone was taking Spanish in high school, college or an adult continuing education class chances are the class would be about 50 minutes long not 10 minutes. Please continue to make the videos the length you think is necessary to get your point across. No pain, no gain.😬

[@Prettynreallyfe]

Lesson 8 complete 🎉I’m glad you came back! Also I enjoy the nature sounds in the background!! Your lessons and teaching techniques are on point!! I am learning so much Thank you!

[@QrooSpanish]

Yay! Thank you!

[@lindaboggs1683]

Thank you for continuously explaining Spanish & English grammar!! Has helped me tremendously!!

[@QrooSpanish]

You're very welcome!

[@nouraghaith5122]

Thank you sooo much It’s such a hard grammar but you are making it easy

[@QrooSpanish]

That's great to hear!

[@guineapigtube]

Thanks for the lessons - slow and steady is the best way to learn

[@johnleresadventuresinchick5784]

He quierdo hablar espanol con no problemo para tiempo mucho! Mi estudiandos comenzaro hace dos meses, por al observa tus videos. Duraciones perfecto! no cambiar, por favor. Gracias Paul! Continuar la bueno trabajo. John Lere

[@swimsterx]

The videos are not too long. I wish this video had been longer. I still learned a lot though! Thank you!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@cherylkolb9984]

Great topic and please continue to use as much time needed to cover the subject. The extra time and examples are worth it!

[@judithholloway4710]

Absolutely brilliant video! Easy steps to follow & I love the plug n play approach. I'm really starting to understand the order of the IOP, DOP. Now I have to put this into practice! By the way, the length was perfect ☺

[@QrooSpanish]

Great to hear!

[@sherinsavier5071]

Thank you for breaking it down and making it easy to understand.

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DBrawls]

Absolutely class video. Need more please :)

[@QrooSpanish]

More to come!

[@louisea966]

thank you so much for these vids. they have been about the most helpful explanations for some of this i have come across in years of trying to wrap my brain around Spanish. i had no issues with the length of the first 7 vids.

[@christopherandrews2899]

This was total confusing to me yesterday. Watching it again this morning and it all came together!! I made it more confusing than it needed to be!

[@QrooSpanish]

It's a tough topic. I'm glad you're starting to get it. :)

[@sarahdouglas9119]

This is great!… The best teacher! I’m going to have watch this video more and more…

[@aaroncorn928]

Thanks!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you!

[@CleonaPattersoneFluentEnglish]

Gracias Qroo Paul por otro vídeo excelente. Me gusta mucho tu método de enseñarnos español. 🎯

[@sniperjordan8216]

I wouldn’t worry too much about people asking for shorter video. Everyone these days wants “how to get a six pack in 30days” everyone wants quick everything now.. well tough.. this is meant to take time.. it’s meant to be hard.. deal with it.. these videos have been perfect.. keep it up buddy

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@kid8605]

I was thinking from last video i would just work around them, the Qroo Paul says, nope i already tried that. Darn it! I understand how this is important & the biggest gap i have in understanding whats being said & obviously in speaking. Thx!

[@jasminekwong2893]

Thank you for the excellent lesson again.

[@markmidwest7092]

Hi Paul, your lessons are just the right length. I did have a question, at 9:49 should it be "les diste la información a LOS vecinos?" I was wondering if I missed a grammatical construction somewhere. Thank you for being such a great teacher.

[@Ant_Dom27]

Paul, I think the length of the videos are just fine. One thing I would recommend is if you created some practice worksheets and hung them in like a google drive or something. Keep up the good work. The IOP and DOPs are giving me problems but I'm so close to fully getting it. I know once it clicks it's going to be a major hump that I will overcome. Coffee coming your way cos I've already gotten so much value from you, sir!

[@Ant_Dom27]

ahhh, I just realized you do have that for a premium. Just joined!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for joining. I am adding additional exercises there.

[@dchan6175]

I'm so happy to have found your videos which are very helpful. This gives me hope that I might finally learn Spanish! Muchas gracias!!

[@QrooSpanish]

You can do it!

[@carolynburke5373]

Thanks!

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you!

[@randyjohnson7342]

Finallly making real sentences! Thanks for making iteasier to understand. I was going to say easy, but its still muy dificil at times!

[@christopherfaulkner5758]

@qroospanish Thank you, thank you so much. This content is great. Delivered so clearly, with space for us to practice. These videos are brilliant and don't worry about the length. I am just not clear on one thing, "le lo" beccomes "se", sure but also later on in one of the quiz questions, it looks like "Les lo" also follows the same pattern.

[@QrooSpanish]

Anytime LE or LES appear before a direct object pronoun: LO, LOS, LA, LAS etc. The LE or LES become SE.

[@benjaminpaxton9994]

This was a huge help. I find this area quite tricky but this really helped me get my head round DOPs and IOPs.

[@barbarawinkle1042]

To me, the lessons are not at all too long. They are just right. Thanks.

[@Valerie-jl6kh]

Thanks

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you so much!

[@gregtarris9057]

I do not think the lessons are long, but the viewer can stop it at any time and then resume. And then watch again. I already know some Spanish so this is a review for me. But if I were learning it, I would probably go over each lesson a number of times. Also I stop the video numerous times and take notes.

[@mariannepeters-f5q]

where are you in this video?! awesome! listen to you EVERY day…thank you!

[@QrooSpanish]

In Costa Rica near the volcano.

[@mariannepeters-f5q]

amazing birds…! Love learning Spanish with this background

[@garysmith6040]

I learn whether the lessons are long, doesn't matter. It is about the learning!

Thank you very much. :)

[@LARealEstateBaby]

First…where are you? Looks like a Polynesian village, but I’m assuming it’s somewhere in Mexico. Second, this lesson was eye-opening for me! I’m just starting to get into IOP’s & DOP’s on Duolingo, but I’ve been lost. This video answered so many of my questions! You’re an extraordinary teacher; clear, concise, friendly. (I thought the length was perfect). I’ve been randomly watching some of your videos over the last few months, but now I think I’m going to go back and start at the beginning of these lessons (1-7) that you mentioned, and do them in order. Good stuff, thanks! I’ll buy you a coffee.

[@QrooSpanish]

This was filmed in La Fortuna, Costa Rica at a small hotel with pools fed by the natural hot springs. Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos and the overall format. With this series, I recommend you go in order because they all build on the previous lessons. Thanks for the coffee! Take care. :)

[@SDW90808]

13:37 Where did “se” come from I don’t recall seeing se anywhere?

[@QrooSpanish]

Watch from 10:40 and it will show you where the SE comes from. LE turns into SE before a direct object pronoun.

[@NeilMohamed6791]

What does Qroo mean? Thanks for the videos.....very helpful. I hope you're making more.

[@johnpaszkiewicz855]

Good question! Please respond Qroo 🙏🙏❤😂🎉

[@QrooSpanish]

I explain it here: kzbin.infozwvR8JzTvj0?feature=share

[@johnpaszkiewicz855]

Thank you Qroo. Love ur videos. 🙏🙏✅🏆🏆🏆

[@GeorginaHannaford-zw6cl]

Ola Paul, I took a break too (when I got the the hard/confusing part of D.O and I.D.O's) but back at it again now so I'm happy you've added more lessons. I think I've neeearly got them, but will be watching Lessons 6,7 and 8 a few more times to solidify it. Also, just fyi, I didn't mind the longer length lessons :)

[@QrooSpanish]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Those object pronouns can be tough but once you learn the pattern, it will get easier. :)

[@rachelrandant5344]

Omigosh!!! AWESOME!! I LOVED THIS SERIES!!! I thought you weren’t going to do anymore!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@MARSHNOBYL]

It's lesson 8 and im still continuing yahooooo , thanks mr paul

[@QrooSpanish]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@77nuni]

Need to write down and fix these in my head!!

[@gailbudd6720]

Gosh i can never remember these, this is the worst part for Me..... But thankyou, i'll keep watching until it sticks 🤦‍♀️🙏🇪🇦

[@keorapetsingulube]

Same here😂

[@TheConf1denceBrand]

Facts!! It’s as if I’m watching it with great intent to learn and the lesson just drains out of my ears. Geesh 🫠

[@sharriesharrar]

I’ve been watching the last few episodes over and over almost daily for about 2 weeks & I finally am understanding it which is really exciting because I’m also able to catch it when I listen to Spanish speakers talking! So don’t give up. This is the best teacher I have found and if I can learn it I think anyone can

[@linaliu6958]

very good as lesson! This long video is very good for me!

[@QrooSpanish]

Glad to hear that!

[@Whatiffitness]

Make them as long as you need!

[@hiyacynthia]

Paul I have seen a lot of your videos now and I have not been able to find the links for other videos that you say will be in the description section. What am I doing wrong?? Thank you for your instruction!

[@QrooSpanish]

Sorry about that. There were some group description edits that wiped out the links in some cases. You can still search for topics under the search bar.

[@olegkaderly5638]

Thanks for another engaging and insightful video, Paul. This one stumps me.. I watched it twice, took notes, and wrote out the phrases in the notebook I am keeping strictly to follow your lesson series. Did a little better tonight than last night, but still struggling with the IOP/DOP and the relational aspect of word order.. will review it again tomorrow and see if I really get it before advancing on to lesson 9.. having taken Spanish for 4 years in high school, worked with engineers from Mexico at my last job for over 6 years, and now dating a Peruvian lady, I am finding myself struggling a fair bit with the basics still.. hope to get a hang of it soon.. also- you mentioned links to additional videos on this lesson subject somewhere, but I cant seem to find them...? could you please provide them in your reply? thanks in advance!

[@QrooSpanish]

This is a tough topic, but it is a predictable pattern that you can repeat. Here is a link to another video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZTWgWawfddpr5I

[@SamanthaMcLeggan]

I love 30 minute videos!!!!!!!

[@randyjohnson7342]

Also, don't worry about the length for my sake. I can devote 30 minutes or more if need be

[@Aneta-qz3mt]

Estupendo episodio, gracias 👍😃

[@QrooSpanish]

Gracias por verlo. Me alegra que te gustara. Un saludo.

[@user-zy8ct8yr7n]

Just break it down into more vids. Many of us will watch them all with thumbs up. Other vids can have more examples for us to practice with

[@tonyforreal]

I need to watch that again , it’s tough for me .

[@abdulkarimalobied577]

Wow , hard lesson, thank you very much
