I haven’t had a chance to watch your videos in a while. This video showed up at just the right time. You talked about several of the insecurities I have with talking in Spanish. Thank you for posting it.

[@c.learningclub]

So happy to hear that! Keep the motivation up and don't let those insecurities affect your Spanish progress!

[@goldvideo]

I'll say one thing ... Learn to speak and understand Spain Spanish and you'll likely be able to speak it anywhere (perhaps with the exception of Chile). Only after learning for a while and then going to Argentina and Mexico did I realize how fluent I had gotten. Except for the colloquial terms in Mexico, that Spanish is very easy for me to understand. Argentina isn't bad either one you get used to the y and ll sounds. ¡A por ello! (Go for it!)

[@erwinfelis]

With just over 1,000 hours of comprehensible input this is seriously the first time I have seen this expression. You learn something new all the time. About the Spanish spoken in Spain: maybe it's just me, but that seems like a much easier dialect/accent compared to the rest. I'm sure I haven't listened to all dialects from Spain, though. Puerto Rican seems like the tough Spanish to me.

[@c.learningclub]

Love it! Very motivational story that will inspire a lot of people as well. Thanks for sharing :) Un abrazo!

[@goldvideo]

@@c.learningclub I should also mention that though I had studied Latin American Spanish in middle and high school as a kid, I had never learned vosotros. So most of my true, in-earnest Spain Spanish learning started when I was 50 years old, so I cry BS on anyone that says they're too old to learn it. I'm not especially gifted at languages, and if I can do it, anyone can.

[@nedesp61]

This is a good video. It reminds me that practice and making mistakes are the only ways to learn. I am Dutch but have lived in Spain for 10 years now. My Spanish has definitely improved, but it remains hard to deal with the speed and dialect (Andaluz), understand it, and then respond in Castellano while still thinking about words and conjugations. My work is not in a Spanish environment, so that takes away a lot of possibilities for practice. Plus one has the tendency to speak in English, Dutch, German whenever it's possible to make the conversation more natural when people come from those countries which languages I speak. Pronunciation is not my problem, it's pretty good they say. It's speaking with fluency, and understanding others.

[@c.learningclub]

Muchas gracias por tu comentario. I totally understand what you say and I’m sure that with practice you will achieve that fluency. I have many videos that will help you become more fluent. You can do it🙌

[@JohnKaman]

I really appreciated this video. Your expression is clear and your voice soothing. I studied Spanish every day for a year in preparation for a trip to Buenos Aires. I loved the city and the culture but even though I could understand a lot I totally blocked when I tried to speak. 6 months later I feel like giving up. Any advice?

Holà Celso, une vez de más ,éste vídeo es muy interesante y practica, creo que para hablar el español, hay que acostumbrarse al acento después de que se vuelve fácil. El acento castellano es muy bonito. También el es mucho más fácil que el acento portugués por ejemplo. :)

[@andrzejbanas7261]

Tengo que agradecerle por su video tan útil. Incluso si no estoy de acuerdo totalmente con todas sus sugerencias. Por ejemplo, para mí los sonidos del español no me dan problemas para nada. Pero el inglés no es mi idioma nátivo. Soy polaco viviendo en Canadá desde hace más que 45 años. El español siempre fue el amor de mi vida y por muchos años quería aprenderlo. Ahora después de haber jubilado tengo suficiente tiempo para hacerlo. He sido siguiendo las instrucciones en Duolingo desde hace varios años. Cuando hablas en tu video te entiendo cien por ciento sin consultar los subtítulos. Naturalmente, si la gente habla habitualmente muy rápido no es lo mismo. Sin embargo, para mí la articulación española es muy fácil en general. La sola otra lengua tan fácil para la gente polaca será el italiano. La gramática española me parece bastante complicada pero es más amigable que la francesa por ejemplo. El noviembre voy a viajar con mi yerno salvadoreño al Salvador que es el país de donde viene. Será la primera vez a visitar un país hispanohablante para mi. Me parece que voy a seguir tu canal en la manera regular.

[@c.learningclub]

Hola! Muchas gracias por tu mensaje y por compartir tu experiencia. Como comenté, el español puede ser complicado dependiendo de muchos factores. Me alegro mucho de ver que puedes entender todo el vídeo sin subtítulos. Eso es un gran logro! Nunca he estado en El Salvador, pero espero que disfrutes mucho de tu viaje! Un abrazo fuerte y sigue aprendiendo español :)

I always find it curious when Spanish people say how “amplio” the Spanish vocabulary is when English has something like 2 or 3 times more words in its vocabulary.

[@c.learningclub]

True! English has a massive vocabulary. What I like about Spanish is its regional diversity and depth of expression. Both are fascinating in their own ways!

For me the hardest thing is trusting myself to speak Spanish. especially because I always try to translate everything in my head beforehand. and some Spanish people mumble that I don't understand them at all 😅 need to practice speaking more, but it's difficult for me...

[@c.learningclub]

Totally understandable. It sounds like your putting a lot of pressure on yourself, and that creates a lack of confidence, which doesn't help to move yourself further or faster because of those insecurities. I'm starting an online program soon which is focused exactly on that: listening comprehension and speaking skills to become confident and conversational in Spanish. I'll be happy to help you out if needed. Un abrazo!

[@mcl175]

@@c.learningclub thank you, that's to the point. Unfortunately, I had a professor in a Spanish course at university who was very strict and once made a very negative comment about my performance. After that I stopped learning Spanish, only a little bit privately and am now slowly starting again. The online program sounds very good😊

[@c.learningclub]

Sorry to hear that. I think most of us have unfortunately heard a comment that affected our confidence. It's not easy to let go, but I'm sure you will find more reasons to move further :)

Pronounciation is important but for beginners, I don't think it should be something to focus too much time on.

[@c.learningclub]

I respect your opinion, although I think pronunciation is the key to make you feel confident, and that for me is the very first step to move forward. It's not about pronouncing like a native, but to make yourself comfortable and confident to speak

[@AgnesReynaud-z6z]

C’est pas du tout dur sauf le RR.

[@BGM16]

For people who only speak English it is difficult. Of course if your language is French it will be easier to learn.

[@c.learningclub]

You are right. That's why whe should always take into consideration your native language, as well as the languages that you have already learned. Each student may need a different approach to learn Spanish as a foreign language.

[@clarencehammer3556]

@@c.learningclub I really don’t understand why people think rolling the initial “r” or the “rr” in the middle of a word is difficult. The only difficulty for me is remembering to do it especially if it is the initial “r” of a word.
