Danny Evans is the best spanish teacher for me - with great charisma and variety in the language - I love his teaching method and have so much fun with learning spanish! Muchas gracias!

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Diana, thank you so much for supporting the channel! So glad that I'm able to help you on your journey to learning Spanish!

Maaaaaaaan…I’m a simple country boy from Arkansas who’s been learning Spanish for 20 years and you sir are without a DOUBT the most comprehensive, effective, and enjoyable Spanish teacher I’ve ever seen!!! Muchas gracias maestro! Eres mi favorito ahora!!

[@FreedoomRock]

Agree I've tried other channels and still didn't get it after a 20 minutes video

[@chiraggandhi2560]

it's been 20 years , why you haven't learned español till now ? i thought we could learn a language in 3 to 4 years

[@melmackstudio]

You are THE BEST Spanish teacher on KZbin. Thank you!

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Thank you! 😃

[@demaria7540]

Hola, eres excelente explicando. Soy profe de Español pero a veces me vuelvo loca buscando cómo explicar algo y tengo que venir a KZbin a buscar ayuda y encuentro cosas chéveres, pero tus clases me encantan y me ayudan mucho 😄😙Gracias!

[@yssync7]

I was confused, but now I understand the difference! I have been studying Spanish with your videos for 2 months now during the pandemic. Muchas gracias!!!

[@ashenisuranga2915]

Did you? i am still confusing 🥴

[@sagisuvan4857]

I dinnt understand

[@st-christian14]

Wow, thank you!

[@Lace26]

first place I came when struggling with the distinctions - thank you so much; super helpful

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Glad we can continue to help!

[@AeliosArt]

Por seems generally to describe a means or cause (via, thru, etc.) while para generally describes a purpose/aim.

[@alejandrojoselizano]

Yes, more or less.

[@spicystapler58]

I just discovered your channel and I am blown away at how you break things down barney style and make them make sense. Read your bio on your website and saw that you were in the Corps! 'Rah, Devil Dog! I was in the Army. I work with a tutor for four hours per week and I'm always looking for more resources to use so that I can become fluent in Spanish someday. Thanks for becoming another resource for me!

[@YahooWater]

I was studying for a Spanish test about this in school and I came to this video because i was studying for the test. This video has been very helpful, and thank you so much!

[@SJ_Killy]

Great lesson, its much better when you use examples of what we learn in context... sometimes when we are taught verbs without context its difficult to imagine where they are used in conversation

[@janettieh2140]

Thank you! Having watched a video on the same topic on another channel, I realise that your success is in breaking your tutorials down into chunks and using clear visuals. The other big thing is that you speak at an easy to follow pace. Great teaching, thanks 😀

[@kellycheney6367]

Buenas tardes, Danny. Ahora tengo un trabajo con tres hispanohablantes y ellos no tienen mucho englais. Hace tres años estoy estudiando español y la ideoma es mas clara cada dia. Los jefes aqui no hablan español. Nunca. Y a muchos veces tengo que a traducir. Me gusta mucho. A veces por y para es un problema para mi. Gracias. Tu amigo, J. Kelly👣

[@nigelcase4851]

I am so encouraged by this episode. I am watching to get to know the use of POR and PARA. What I have found is that I am able to translate, with near perfect accuracy all of the sample sentences into Spanish. This illustrates yet again, to me how great you are Dr Evans. Thankyou so much for what you do.

[@kellychase2564]

Thank You So Much Professor Danny. This Video Really Clarified some of the "Fine Points" in the Usuages of POR and PARA. I LOVE Your Sample Sentences and Easy Style of Teaching Us even the most complex material. Paz y Bendeciones. Kelly

[@kaylagranthamjones7512]

Another great video!! I am working may through them all. Thank you for finding ways to make connections and "keep it simple". You method of teaching and subtle encouragement is the reason I feel like I CAN DO THIS... even 20yrs after high school Spanish 😊 Keep up the good work!!

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Thank you!! Yes, you CAN do this!

[@klay3560]

I'm not skipping ads. Thanks for clarifying this topic.. 😊

[@mariongarvey7141]

I discovered your videos and podcasts recently, and boy am I glad I did! I love how you tackle one topic at a time, explaining it simply and clearly. Your verb chart has been a game changer for me, also how you group those pesky pretérito irregular verbs, I finally feel I have half a chance of remembering some of them! Muchas gracias por dar tan generosamente de su tiempo, es muy apreciado.

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@AriesMars]

The prepositions por and para, of similar etymological origin, are very common in Spanish. In general, indicates destination, purpose or final objective; indicates the cause and means through which an end is reached.

[@justhineberon8363]

our professor gave us assignment about this. Glad I saw this 💖 thank you so much for sharing 🤗🤗🤗

[@learnurduwithsara1068]

Gracias this has been so helpful. Looking forward to seeing all your videos step by step.

Danny, you are an absolute master of verbal and nonverbal communication. You are a 3d language teacher. Your arms are as expressive as your face, words and tone. You are also gentle on the ear!! 😊 Love your lessons online... As soon as I have this language licked, A donation is coming your way!!

[@alikahaei9305]

Finally got the idea. Para is used when something or someone is at the receiving end of the point you're trying to make. This was the best por vs. para video I've watched so far. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for uploading your lessons , I’m a 30yr old college student learning Spanish for the first time. I honestly learn more from you than in the classroom. I would not be passing Spanish if it weren’t for your videos.

[@timmyv795]

Thank you!! I was so confused when to use these two

[@myk1137]

Para is basically in order to,to go to(Spain for example) and by(the one that is used for future perfect tense in English)

[@carolfox9620]

Great lesson! I really appreciate the way you use the words in sentences.

[@gloriamadrigales5198]

Thanks so much for this lesson - it has cleared up a mystery for me. Brilliant teacher.

I look at "Por" as a replacement for "Per or Via". That helps me.

Great explanation!

[@lazarorosenberg7795]

Thank you very much for this video. It helps a lot. One thing that could make it more effective is a very short/quick recap at the end of the lesson. For example, a brief statement of when each is used. Thank you very much for these lessons.

[@user-hw2uo7iz7u]

gracias . Muchos comprendo professor

[@barbiechweet]

Sir, I'm a little confused with the usage of 'a' in few contexts where it means 'for'.. Like the example you gave, 'Por su amor a los niños'... Why not 'por los niños?? I'm glad I found an amazing teacher!! The best part about your teaching is, you keep it simple and clear! Me gustan sus lecciones.. Muchas gracias!!

[@myk1137]

Her love to children.Don't forget that "for" means "to" as well.They tend to use "to" more than "for" in places where you can put both for and to.

[@unusualle4326]

When the direct object of a verb is a specific person or pet animal, 'a' is placed immediately before it. So for your case, I believe amor is the verb of the sentence, 'a' would be placed right after it. Keep in mind though, this type of 'a' is a personal 'a'. You can do more research on that. Something to remember is that a personal 'a' is NOT used after the verb 'tener'. It's used for every other verb, however, you must include the rule that I mentioned above, which is that 'a' is placed right after the verb if the sentence contains a specific person. Hope this helped!

[@myk1137]

@@unusualle4326 Amor isn't even a verb there.You're right on everything else but amor is a name. You cannot conjugate it so it's not a verb.

[@williamobrien2253]

@@myk1137 The phrase "por su amor a los niños" is translated "for her (his) love for the children". It indicates the reason that she/he is doing something. It would more accurately be translated as doing something "because of her/his love of the children". Her/his "love of the children" is the motivation for what is being done.
