I'n an Englishman who has been living in Mexico for over 10 years. I've never yet had a Mexican correct my Spanish (even when I ask them to). I wish they would, but they don't. When I ask them to 'hable más despacio, por favor' they repeat what they've said at the exact same speed. This is one of the reasons I'm glad I found this channel. Thank you. 👍

[@miss_kolissa]

😂@ they repeat what they said at the exact same speed

[@manuelgalvis.2072]

I want to thank you a lot. I've been a Spanish teacher for 2 years and I really needed this point of view. Every time I have a question about my own language, I resort to you Paul

[@QrooSpanish]

That's great to hear. How are you enjoying being a teacher?

[@heeroyuy298]

"Salir" comes from the same word as the English "sally". Both words are derived from the Old French word "sallir," meaning "to rush out," which in turn comes from the Latin "salire," meaning "to leap, jump, or spring." This Latin root is the source of various words in Romance languages related to the concept of jumping or going out, and it also influenced the English term through Norman French. So when two people are courting for instance, they're "sallying together", in Spanish. Or you would say "Do you want to sally forth to the supermarket?" in Spanish.

[@podcasthostel]

shit homie no one's ever heard of the english word sally

[@helenamcginty4920]

​@@podcasthostel ha. Yes they have. Old castles, of which we have lots, have 'sally ports'. Ie the gateway from which troops left on sorties. Plus my mum (born 1920) used to say 'lets sally forth' when we were off on a trip or for a picnic when packing and preparation had been involved.

[@josedelnegro46]

Is it necessary to go that deep into it? Yes!

[@josedelnegro46]

By the way you are right. You are very close to the answer but close is not good enough. You need to put salir, leave, get out, and go into Latin. Then you need to use the two languages that are used in all emergency situations in the United States and Mexico. Sometimes being close is not good enough. Any school child in the United Kingdom knows what is going on with these words because they will look at the worlds in the Oxford English Dictionary not in the Webster's English Dictionary.

[@cassellino]

I can't imagine the Spanish word salir comes from old French. It's gotta be directly from Latin.

[@isatob4600]

Thank you so much! You have the best channel for these Spanish lessons! I was in Ecuador last week and I heard the guide say "Me voy." and I was smiling to myself, Paul talked about this in his videos, not "estoy saliendo", :) More power!

[@richardditty5318]

"Me voy a ir yendo" is an interesting phrase, it busted my brain the first time I heard it. I think you could say "voy a salir ahora" and that would work as well to say I'm leaving.

[@anna-wt2tz]

[@enriqueparedesestafan5686]

I just studied salir, seguir y llevar on Busuu today. Your explanation was timely and easy to bring out of the abstract and into the real world of speaking.

[@1111post]

In some particular cases, you can use "estoy saliendo" or "voy saliendo" as a way of expressing that you ARE leaving. "Carlos, dónde estás????"... "Estoy saliendo!!! Voy saliendo!!!". It's used to reinforce the fact that, not only are you leaving but at that precise moment, you are getting in the car, closing the house door, etc. You can interpret it as a "Geeezzz... I AM on my way, come down!". As a cultural side note, usually when people say "estoy saliendo.. voy saliendo" (I'm on my way)... more often than not, they're not. It's just to get rid of you.

[@trunghuynh7672]

You're excellent teacher. I did watch too many channels to teach Spanish,none of them can compare with you

[@QrooSpanish]

Thank you!

[@Whizzer]

If you want to kick it up a notch, you can even do 'Me voy a ir yendo'. A few more related verbs are 'marcharse' and 'largarse' (used informally for 'vete': 'largate').

[@hikingwiththedog6078]

Thanks so much for this! I've been trying to figure out how to say "I'm taking the dog out," as in taking him out in the backyard. And although I haven't figured that out yet, you handled a good deal of my confusion about salir. I'm amazed you learned to speak another language so beautifully, with only the use of books and hearing it at work.

[@sigifredogonzalez6265]

If you say Estoy sacando al perro, it means I'm taking the dog out as in I'm taking the dog out of the house as in taking him to the backyard, but not really going anywhere. If you say me llevo (estoy llevando) el perro a caminar equals I'm taking the dog out for a walk. Estoy saliendo con el perro equals I'm going out with the dog .... going somewhere. However, it may change from one country to another. If my brother is going to pick me up he'll call me to let me know when he's leaving and he'll say estoy or voy saliendo; which may not how one may say it in Mexico

[@judithandreica706]

[@gabrielcomic]

Toda la razón, salir no se usa de esa manera, De todas maneras, en Chile, es común que si hablas con alguien por teléfono o incluso en persona que va saliendo de la casa o piensa salir pronto, te pueden decir "no puedo hablar/verte ahora, porqiue voy saliendo...", es un ejemplo quizás un poco rebuscado, pero lo he escuchado ams de una vez.

I am currently spending several months in the Dominican Republic and trying daily to learn and use Spanish. I originally learnt (what I now which is not much) in Mexico. I am finding it a little more difficult to understand the people here than in Mexico (accent, speed, vocab?) I was surprised how little English there is here but actually delighted as I have no wish to rely on this: I would much rather muddle through making a mess of Spanish but therefore learning, thenuse my native tongue. Any tips for Dominican Spanish? Your videos are very helpful for us anglophones.

[@NohAotori]

Native Spanish speaker here. Dominican Republic Spanish is actually one of the hardest. It's really fast and have a different pronouncing 😅 even for us is hard. My only advice is to keep the fundamentals you learned and use context to begin understanding what they say, then it eventually lead you to notice what are their Spanish nuances. 😢 I'm sorry I can't help much

Hi Paul, I am currently being tutored in Spanish like you as a non-native speaker, but I have no one to practice with during the week. Any good suggestions on how to practice Spanish daily so that I can become better?

[@Xena_Yoon]

Me gusta mucho aprender español con Paul. Verbos reflexivos son verbos pronominales -- nunca lo sabía. En ruso también hay verbos que terminan en "'-se" (es el sufijo ruso/ucraniano -sia), pero todos se llaman verbos reflexivos. El verbo quejarse en ruso us un verbo reflexivo. En ucraniano, tambíén es un verbo reflexivo. Until now I didn´t realize that 'pronominal' and 'reflexive' were not synonyms. Mind!blown. Pero, lo lamento, soy esta persona... entonces... Me parece que hay un error typográfico. "No ta vayas" en lugar de "No te bayas".

[@iamtiredtomorrow]

How do you say, “Do you have any I.D?” and “STOP RESISTING!” in Spanish?

[@victorhugotoledocofre1366]

“Do you have any I.D.?” = "¿Tiene (usted) alguna identificación?" (formal) / "¿Tienes (tú) alguna identificación?" (informal). “STOP RESISTING!” = "¡DEJE DE RESISTIRSE!" (formal) / "¡DEJA DE RESISTIRTE!" (informal).

[@elainecogar1500]

I am a paramedic and I have to ask patients every day how much they weigh and how tall they are and I can’t find one video on how to do that. Could you please do a video on how to ask someone how much they weigh, and how tall they are, and what the response would be thank you.

[@QrooSpanish]

¿Cuánto pesas? How much do you weigh? They will likely give it to you in kilos. ¿Cuánto mides? How tall are you (literally how much do you measure). They probably won't give you that in feet and inches. You could add ¿Sabes cuánto mides en pies y pulgadas? Do you know how tall you are in feet and inches?

With the instruction about ex: my wife is living now and she says “estoy saliendo ahora”….wouldn’t “me voy ahora” or”ya me voy” be the same?

How about salir a + a place or to do something e.g., salgo ya a la tienda y luego saldré otra vez a dar un paseo? Not sure if that's correct but I live down here in Spain and I seem to be getting away with it (or else my girlfriend is too sweet to correct me). Another one would be something like "esta mañana he salido en bici pero luego tenía que trabajar (y por eso no te he llamado honey" 😬).

Hint: You are sitting in a crowded theater with all nine of the Supreme Court Justices. There is a panel discussion going on. Paul is giving a lecture. All of a sudden someone in the crowd stands up and yells fire. You jump up. But it is too late. There is so much smoke in the air that no one can see a sign that is posted on the wall clearly in English. What did that sign say? Do you remember what that sign said. Unfortunately you cannot all leave the way you came into the theater. The emergency lights pop on you to see the sign. What does that sign say? Warning the sign is not written in English! But if the theater is in Mexico and the Mexican Supreme Court is there and Paul is giving the same lecture. Someone yells Fuego. The el humo es intenso also. Everyone No todos pueden salir por la misma entrada por la que entraron. The emergency lights pop on the sign that tells you the way out reads? Paul told you he was a first responder. Paul told you he learned Spanish via the Immersion Method. Paul is the most preferred American English instructor on KZbin. There is a reason he is the most preferred. Read the signs. Then find your way out. You only have seconds before you "succumbunt fumo inhalantes". Sorry for getting back into your comment Section Paul. I ran what the problem though chatGPT. It stalled. It could not figure it out without being provided the same type of hints provided above. Google Gemini had a difficult time also. If AI had of been in the theaters it would have gone down in flames. Most people would have seen the sign and made there way out unless they were using Google Translator. See you later I have got to get the hell out of this Inferno. So now I leave!

Pablo, I was a little annoyed when I started listening because I was pretty sure that, despite the claim that this was posted only three hours ago, that I *had* in fact heard it before. But before I had a chance to stop the video, I heard the ad for Lingopie. Was it there the first time? If so, I missed it. Dang, that sounds like *exactly* what I need. I've looked for KZbin videos in Spanish, and I guess because I'm an Anglophone in an English speaking country, I've had trouble finding what I want. But I am *definitely* going to give it a try. EDIT: Paul, I still want to do the Lingopie, but I'm not seeing anything in the signup that indicates to me that you will get credit. It asked where I learned about it, and one choice was "KZbin Ad", but when I clicked on it, it didn't ask me where I saw it. Same thing if I picked KZbin Review. I want to make sure you get credit for connecting me before I commit.

Why is it "voy a cenar" but "me voy PARA cenar"?? (thinking of your rule, "use 'a' with verbs of motion)....???

[@Robostomp]

Voy a + inf. is "informal future", equal to I'm going to + inf. I'm going to have dinner. (Él/ella o Ud.) Va a cocinar - He/she or you (formal singular) is or are going to cook. Vamos a jugar - we're going to play (pay attention though that "vamos" is also imperative for nosotros so it can also mean "Let's play").

[@BernardGreenberg]

@@Robostomp I didn't think of it that way! Thanks! I guess there's no difference between meanings of "I'm going to eat dinner" when you are leaving the house. But what about what is taught in QRooP's 'PARA or A' video of a month ago, which says PARA, not A, for verbs of motion?

[@Robostomp]

@@BernardGreenberg I guess we should refer to 5:45 of the current video. Like "I'm leaving for dinner" in the case of "Me voy a cenar". As for the motion, "para" usually refers to destination (like the point of arrival), but in your example it actually stands for purpose. People usually say "Vamos para (pa') tomar algo" - Let's have a drink. / Let's go to have a drink. I think for "cenar" it's a bit more contextual. "Voy al mi restaurante favorito para cenar". Or, say "¿Para qué te vas? - Para cenar."

[@QrooSpanish]

Irse throws it off a bit. It can appear with a or para. The reason is the emphasis is on the going -- not arriving at the destination.

[@Robostomp]

I've asked my Spanish teacher today, he confirmed that "me voy a/para…" is not really used. Only "voy para casa" in spoken Spanish (I guess it sticks out better than "a" as in the case of bus or railway stations' announcements) and "voy a casa" in written and probably spoken. At that's how they break this down in Viscay Province!
