Can you do a video on solo, sólo and solamente?

[@VeronikaLearnsSpanish]

Can I just say: No sé - when I want to say I don't know? Or do I always have to add "lo" like No lo sé. Thank you!

[@realfastspanish]

@@VeronikaLearnsSpanish It depends. In some circumstances, "no sé" and "no lo sé" are interchangeable, usually in direct response to a question but including the "lo" is more common that's why I recommend it. In other contexts, we have to have the "lo" there, usually when "I don't know" comes towards the end of a sentence. And then we need to drop the "lo" when we include the thing that we don't know in the sentence, (e.g. "I don't know what to say - No sé qué decir").

I'm a beginner of learning Spanish from japan. I can learn not only Spanish but also English in the same time through your channel. So helpful for me. Thank you very much for your great video.

[@chatterbean100]

Never done any Spanish before and this has blown my mind. It’s too hard for my first tutorial I think!

[@pyrmontbridge4737]

This is not a first tutorial. It covers the beginners phase, which probably lasts a couple of months.

[@matildawolfram4687]

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

¡Gracias por sus consejos maravillosos, Profe!

[@renetorry7654]

I love it that you suggest tackling yo and tu conjuations first. Especially helpful with irregular verbs. Thank you.

[@realfastspanish]

It’s one of my favorite tips for beginners! I’m glad you liked it 😊

Well darn! We have been saying "no se" for a very long time. Now we know better. Gracias.

Thanks for putting this together 👍

Thanks for the comment! 😊

[@gerlautamr.656]

Mil gracias por su invaluable trabajo.Aunque soy hispanohablante, escucharlo a usted me ayuda a seguir mejorando mi Inglés.Prefiero ver sus videos porque sabe explicar bien las cosas, y sé que eso es importantísimo para las demás personas que aprenden español también.

[@realfastspanish]

Muchas gracias 😊

[@pksteffen]

Epic! Gracias!!

[@sillystuff6247]

i like how you focused on the most immediately useful tenses a beginner will use. the helpfulness of fewer tense was somewhat lost with overly complex example sentences, which a non-spanish traveller/nomad wouldn't use. i suggest all example sentences be things a traveler would say at their hotel, a store, a restaurant, asking directions. etc.

[@briwaff8620]

Thank you mucho gusto

[@Jess-wq4gd]

love this thank you

[@pkrupin]

Excellent explanation and really useful phrases. Thank you. You just got a new subscricer.

[@thomaslambert6007]

A suggestion, I am learning Spanish because I want to communicate with people in Chile and live there. I was so happy to hear you mention Argentina at the start of this video. So please more references to the difference between Spanish in Spain and South America (Liked and subscribed) y muchos gracias mi maestro!!!

[@realfastspanish]

Thanks for the suggestion and the sub Thomas! 😊

[@dschlac1]

Great content! Very helpful! Do you have a .pdf or .doc with the sentences written out? I find myself having trouble following along and writing at this speed. Any help would be appreciated!

[@franhar8292]

I am fairly new trying to learn Spanish. I like your teaching. Is there a way I could watch (identify) your videos that start at a beginning video then go to the next video etc etc... Some kind of logical way that builds on the last video? Thank you!

[@richardnorton2792]

You must have been in a hurry this day. You are Whippin through this one, lol.

[@susangallo1065]

I put it on .75 speed lol

[@keithhoang700]

I think you should teach a short sentence, and slow it down. Thank you so much.

It's called real fast Spanish 😂😂

Very simple and fun!

I love how you compare with the English but slow down a little

[@roberttewnion1690]

@5:05 could you also say *para* ver una película?

[@atlantamfa]

This would have been the best video for me to understand verb conjugation but it’s too vast else you have made it really simple

[@eastwind3550]

🎉🎉🎉

[@EvaZeitouny]

It’s just a little confusing with tenses. Could you indicate witch tense you’re using? And maybe add the other tenses too?(past,present,future)

[@nshafeeh1181]

Usted debe tu nombre de tu canal de youtube.. porque puedo estudiar inglés mucho que español de tu videos😊..tu inglés es muy fácil y comprensible..bueno

[@georgefarrington895]

Really good video, a little slower would help please. Thanks.

[@josephfernandez1506]

What is the difference between creo and pienso ?

[@realfastspanish]

In some contexts they are completely interchangeable. But "creo" can sometimes mean "believe" as in "to believe in something".

[@BLMacab]

whats the difference between a jose joke and tyrone joke, nothing once you heard juan you heard jamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh churches chicken agggggggggggggggggggggggggggh el pollo loco

[@roberttewnion1690]

I'm really surprised tener didn't make the list.

[@swaggyyy3631]

it’s probably really common

[@realfastspanish]

I covered “tener” in my other Spanish for beginners video. This video includes the most important verbs that didn’t make the other video.

[@smileychris2918]

You need to slow down for beginners

[@eziola]

Cuál es la diferencia entre Tratar y Intentar?

[@alejandrojoselizano]

Es lo mismo

[@stephenipsen3776]

I would have thought you would teach the formal Usted rather the informal Tu.

[@realfastspanish]

For conversational Spanish, the "tú" form is more common. The "usted" form is important for quick interactions with people you don't know very well. But, the idea is to get to know someone and start with the "tú" form as quickly as possible.

[@jae1757]

Why do you put Que for do you think it’s a good idea

[@Langwigcfijul]

Because in English, we can omit that. It would otherwise be: 'Do you think _that_ it's a good idea. In relative clauses in Spanish, you can't omit it.

[@johnnyb33good21]

Need to slow the lesson down had to pause and stop, rewind multiple times. Other than that really good

[@tylertibbetts207]

Cool video, 100000000000 times too fast for a beginner Typical language flex by fluent speaker

[@NiloKhan-vc3sv]

Ollah como estas

[@clhDallas]

Very helpful but moves along too quickly! Would be even better to have time to repeat the phrases. I do love breaking things down into a few key verbs, adjectives, etc Gracias!

[@aytacboduroglu335]

Bit fast but competent

[@Userlixi170]

Do not study verbs, just listen a lot of spanish and they will stick to your mind without you noticing.

[@furiangameclips]

The next step is to forget forget forget. I simply cannot remember the words lol..oh well

[@MrKirkland30]

You are explaining way too fast

[@calebjohn8087]

Why would you break down the first verb and then throw a ball left field and not break down the rest of the verbs?… wild.

[@dianabache8330]

Wish he was a bit slower

[@YemenIsraellover]

Fuck. I speak portuguese. I understand everything in spanish but when I try yo speak I speak like sick turtle.

[@coleslawbabe]

you going way too fast pal

[@geetasuckoo3263]

You need to speak slower please.

[@michaelbradley8209]

Very difficult and too fast 😊

You can put the video on 0.75 mode so it slows down

[@vilmadann8910]

Slower

[@lyly6h7j8k]

Otros idiomas ??? Otras idioma is feminine! Isn't it ?

[@pipimoumou5825]

Too fast!!!

[@susangallo1065]

You can change the setting to .75

[@truestory923]

I love your lessons but I'm confused why when your speak Spanish, you go all nasal sounding. It's weird but maybe that's just the way the language is? If not, I'm confused why your accent changes so much like you've got a bad cold. Maybe I'm the only one noticing this, but I find it so difficult to listen to

[@WaterDove]

As an Hispanic, I find it that although this gentleman is fluent in Spanish, he’s still comes across as very much English (gringo) in his approach. His Spanish is vanilla and lacks the spice we Latins naturally come with. So it’s a bit comical to watch. I say if it helps non-Hispanics/Spaniards to learn the language, all the power to you. Good luck.

[@lessforloans]

Lol. What a clown thing to say. He’s trying to learn a language. Many Hispanics sound like Paisas

[@realfastspanish]

Maybe you can give me a few tips to work on my spice?! 😊

[@susanhall6659]

People in glass houses should not throw stones !!

[@doktorb3at]

it's funny you mention that. I find people who have Engilish as a second language, speak in "vanilla" English.

[@onewheel9961]

Not a beginner anymore, but still really enjoyed this. Always something useful to be found.

[@sillystuff6247]

definitely not for beginners.
