[@jordanenyard9554]

It seems like the difference between por and para is the difference between a point and a line. Destinations, recipients, deadlines are points in time and space. Durations, motivations, modes of travel and explanations are "lines" in that they have a beginning, middle and end.

[@shemforbes]

Holy crap... I was binge-watching some iLoveBasketballTV videos, and then was like, "I should probably study for my Spanish test tomorrow." I look up "Por vs Para" and play this video, and was so surprised!! Coach Rock has a Spanish channel!! Never would've thought. Keep up the good work man!

[@SpeakSpanishFaster]

Kevin wow, thank you so much! That means a lot my friend :)

[@DiegoGrit]

I’ve been doing some thinking recently and I pieced together in my head that for anytime para doesn’t directly translate to “for” it’s more like a “in order to”. Por ejemplo cuando tú dices “estoy entrenando para bajar el peso” it’s literally just “I’m training in order to lose weight”. Just a theory I thought of. The main thing really tho is that it doesn’t mean one thing and it was never supposed to lol it’s main function is being a connector I’ve realized recently. Pero thank you so much for your videos I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I’ve been implementing your methods since (im latino born in the states and never learned Spanish lol). So I just spent a week in DR, it was my second time, and I was way more comfortable and had more confidence to speak and make errors than my first visit. Appreciate what you do!

[@burpbee1]

As a French speaker, this is confusing for me to remember. You know why? I've discovered that our French "par" is the Spanish version of "por", but our French version of "pour" seems to be the equivalent of the Spanish "para". Obviously in French I never have to second-guess myself between "par" and "pour" , but when speaking Spanish, I often second-guess myself, then think in French, then switch back to Spanish, madre mia!

[@jazminerivera4084]

Could you do a video explaining “perdón vs. disculpe” ? Btw, your vids are great!

[@SpeakSpanishFaster]

Thanks so much. Sure I will cover this. Probably will be quick haha

[@jpierce8148]

They both roughly translate to "sorry"/"forgive me"/"excuse me" (depending on context). Perdón is just a phrase. If anything it's a noun (el perdón). The phrase I think is just a shortening of "pedir perdón" (to ask for forgiveness/to apologize) (Pido) perdón, señor. Disculpe comes from "disculpar". Disculpe is in the "usted command" and more formal. It roughly means sorry/forgive me/excuse me. Disculpa would be the "tú command". Discúlpeme (or just disculpe is fine) usted señor. Discúlpame tú chico.

[@Ισαβέλα-ψ7τ]

@@jpierce8148 es “perdón “ informal? porque le dijo que “disculpe “ es formal.. ¿o tal vez no lo entiendo?

[@jpierce8148]

@@Ισαβέλα-ψ7τ Perdon para mi seria mas neutral, ya que cada edad lo usaria, incluso los jovenes. Disculpe para mi solo se usaria con gente mayor o maestros, etc. Claro, los jovenes podrIan decirse "disculpame amigo" de uno y al otro, Pero para mi perdon seria mas neutral. Disculpe (que se conjuga con usted) es si lo mas formal entre todas opciones.

[@critterzzz]

I was very excited when you said that with practice, you’ll know if something’s not correct, because it sounds wrong. That happened to me in a Spanish class that a coworker and I took. We were working in groups and were supposed to insert the correct article before the nouns listed on a worksheet. One of the words was “llaves.” No one in our group knew whether it was masculine or feminine, but to me, las llaves sounded correct. Los llaves sounded weird. Maybe my years of taking classes but never taking on the identity of a native speaker and therefore not becoming fluent is turning around! I think it will go much faster now! You speak to my heart with your mindset training!! Thank you!

[@carlericvonkleistiii2188]

I think of para as meaning "in order to" when it is used as it was in the weight loss sentence. I am training *in order to* lose weight.

[@user-nr2kb3mw8i]

I saw somewhere you can think of para like for and “in order to”. Like one of the examples was I am calling “in order to” talk to you. I am training in order to lose weight

[@Jredthepolyglot]

One I would add is using por in phrases like “Por acá”, “Por ahí”, “ Por Allá” For example, “¿Hay algunos restaurantes por acá? “Are there any restaurants around here?”
