The 16 time markers in Spanish you need to learn: antier, hace un rato, el que viene...

In this video I will teach you the most common time markers in Spanish, and how to use them with the correct Spanish tenses. You will learn which time marker goes with what tense. You will also learn to express when something happened, or will happen, how long has it been since something happened, how often something happens, etc. You will learn the most common time markers Spanish speakers use such as: rato, desde hace, el que viene, antier, el próximo, de vez en cuando, and more. While you probably know the basic words to describe the past, present, and future in Spanish, in this video you will learn words that are more common, practical, colloquial, and widely used by native Spanish speakers, which are words that you will hardly find in textbooks. You will also learn to make sentences that need specific time markers, with simple and advanced Spanish tenses.

I know Ana has been making these videos for 8 years, but she brings as much enthusiasm to her classes today as she did 8 years ago, which is admirable. Ana really seems to love teaching and it shows. There are many teachers offering Spanish classes on You Tube, I have probably watched at least 10 other teachers, but she is by far and away the best in my opinion. Ana's classes are fun, energetic and comprehensive. I hope she has earned mucho $$$ off her videos over the years.

You are an absolutely amazing teacher. I learned a lot of Spanish in high school. I became somewhat fluent. That was 27 years ago :-) I now have a very keen interest in becoming very very fluent in Spanish and your teaching style is absolutely brilliant. I love how you weave actual conversational Spanish into the lesson. Your repetition is timed and cycled perfectly. Not too little and not too much. This is like finding a pot of gold. Thank you for all of your amazing work

[@toresaetre7793]

8-10 days ago, I could hardly speak any Spanish at all. Just a handful of words.that was all. Then I quite literally soaked myself in the language. And Ana's videos has been an important part. I memorized a few hundred Spanish words, in addition to those that are easily convertible from English and already after 2-3 days started to be a pain in the ass for quite s number of Latin Americans in one if those language exchange apps. Today, not even two weeks after I started, I can chat online with strangers and make myself understood with some goodwill and patience. And I am lucky enough to have made my own little group of online friends, two girls and a guy, who wants to practice with me regularly. It's been hard work pulling up to 16-18 hours a day sometimes, but it seems to be working. Thank you Ana for doing your part helping me structure all the information.

Hola Ana, what i really like about you is you give the full literal meaning. What i mean is, when you look up words in a dictionary it gives you examples of sentences, but tells you what it means in an engish translation. Whereas you give the proper translation and i find that easier to remember. I hope you understand what i mean. I love your enthusiasm and your songs😂
