I always liked "quien sabe."

[@laurelhartshorn5462]

Excellent video, Maria. Great alternatives! I especially love it when you warn about something that may sound rude. You're the best!

[@mariafernandafromspringspa677]

Gracias Laurel :D

[@edwardmoran1739]

Excellent and useful but leave the screen examples viewable longer, they flash in a second or two before my mind can process.

[@mariafernandafromspringspa677]

Thank you Edward for your feedback! We will work on it :) Graaaaciaaaas!

[@fraa888grindr6]

"No recuerdo en estos momentos" has be said by politicians as long as there have been politicians.

[@jamesfreese4700]

Good

[@edgilchrist6374]

Fabulous video Maria Fernanda. Is there an easy way for me to select videos that you have done? I appreciate the videos done by the other maestras as well, but your diction when speaking Spanish sounds most like what I hear (and don't understand) on the street in Mexico. Your speed, rhythm and cadence is what I have to learn to understand by ear, and perhaps to imitate. As in English, native Spanish speakers either leave out or combine syllables when speaking naturally. The text goes by pretty fast, but all I have to do is pause the screen that shows the text, then run the difficult audio several times until my ear can pick out the individual words. I see some of the commenters have complained about your use of "checar" instead of "chequear", however this is accepted Mexican usage and 140,000,000 Mexicans can't be wrong. The RAE is just going to have to change ;-)

[@mysterious5895]

Wow!

[@angelakinser5904]

Hola. ¡me encantan sus videos! ¿Puedo hacer una surgencia? In English we don't say "I don't have certainty' but we say "I'm not sure" or "I am not sure." We don't use the phrase "I don't have certainty," but I know that is the actual translation from Spanish to English...gracias.

[@willtabacchi1408]

The print on the screen should be twice as large and sometimes do a pause to give the viewer time to read it

[@andrearubianoc.184]

Wow, tambien tienen videos para aprender ingles?

[@jimmychafins]

Teach me Spanish and I will teach you English

Hola Maria , sorry but cannot each the CHUNK site ...

[@springspanish]

Hi Niccolo, which link isn’t working for you? I just tried it out and it does work for me.

[@vinnyhustle]

How about the phrase “que sé yo?”

[@ulisesdiale4004]

It's asking 'what do I know?', meaning that you have no clue. It's used here in Argentina very frequently, but I'm not sure about other countries. I don't think it's that common in Mexico though

[@ajoloteenvaso]

@@ulisesdiale4004 In México it could sound rude depending on the context and intonation.

[@ulisesdiale4004]

@@ajoloteenvaso se, bueno, acá igual jaja (Yeah, well, it's the same here)

[@aligindahouse7777]

In Spain they say 'y yo qué sé?' and I've heard it in the middle of arguments

[@aligindahouse7777]

No lo tengo claro

[@wolfthequarrelsome504]

How do you say: "Hurt by men"?

[@ulisesdiale4004]

Herido por hombres/por los hombres (if you know who they are or have mentioned them previously)

[@victorhrodriguez1159]

Es CHEQUEARLO, no "checarlo." Checarlo es que che cae solo. Ni la corregidora lo acepta.

[@CliftonBowers-pc2xu]

Quien sabe?

[@chukd5632]

To me “Checarlo” sounds too TexMex

[@matthewpaxton6648]

You are lovely ladies, however. I for one can't learn this way. I have tried 8-10 of your videos. Different fonts, and colors, backgrounds and lighting flying by. Can't keep up reading and listening to two language., As a beginner, that sincerely tried, several times, I was left feeling pretty dumb...

[@CliftonBowers-pc2xu]

No lo creo

[@margaritakleinman5701]

I think you meant to say, "no se nada", not "no sabes nada".
