I agree! Learning is hard for me due to my age of 76. I keep reviewing the lessons. I can now read and understand some spoken words. Can not speak it, but I will keep trying.

I have learned more from this excellent teacher than a year of Duolingo!!! He simplifies with grafts, gives reasons why we use a certain word over another. I can say enough good things about this teacher!!!

Dear Dr Evans, thank you for your generosity. These videos are a gold mine for Spanish learners. May God bless you abundantly.

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Glad you like them!

[@ilanflix]

Even the minute explanation of the personal ‘a’ during exemplification of conocer is what differentiates this guy from other teachers. Love all your concept boiler lessons. Great teacher.

[@paulmasih3916]

Dr. Danny Evans is such a likeable guy that makes learning from him even easier and better

And you always explain everything deeper for us to understand you, gracias 😅

I love these videos and I like how you get to the point of teaching Spanish. You made everything so clear an fun to teach that I had to pick up and focus on Spanish, yes I got very determined lately. I originally know you from the AIB while back until later on I got recommendations from these videos. My goal is to become multilingual someday (other languages - French, Esperanto, Danish, Arabic, Hawaiian, Chinese, and Japanese) and I will recommend your channel to everyone else that is eager to learn. You keep up the good work and don't stop uploading new videos😊😊😊

Your lessons are amazing! I am taking Spanish classes through a local college but I always use your videos to help. Your explanations are very succinct and easy to understand. My grades and understanding have improved immensely since finding your videos. Thank you :)

Actually, the correct sentence would be: "¡No conozco a Danny Evans muy bien, pero él me gusta!" (without preposition "a")

[@na-chan163]

@@marionardechia1579 why was " él " used for "him"?

Excellent explanations as always. Brief, concise and clear. I'm wondering, there are two ways to know someone, the first is as an acquaintance who you recognize and say Hola to (saber?). The second is where you know someone extremely well; their hopes, fears, family history, relationships etc. (conocer?) please advise.

[@noelbowerman1562]

Very helpful ,I didn't know the yo form of conocer. Sé

[@gerlautamr.656]

"conozco" is the yo form of conocer.

[@dangroom9120]

I like the video overall except for one thing. You said for 3 syllable words we stress the middle syllable. No we don't. We follow accenting rules which are pretty simple. If a word ends in a vowel, or the consonants s or n, we stress the second to last syllable. If the word ends in any consonant other than s or n then we stress the final syllable. Three syllable examples of final syllable stress: conductor, obrador, cicatriz, libertad, ciudad, caravel. I am still going to use this video for a Spanish class for my substitute to present while I am at home sick. I will just have to correct students on the stress rules when I come back.

Dr. Please, are there any other videos where u have lots of grammar tricks like this 7:57

[@shammahgc8191]

But what if you know about Paris like you know what it is but you didn’t intend for it to be in deeper knowledge would u still use the verb conocer? Or what if u didn’t know juan in a deeper meaning you just knew of him?

[@bfgskittles4247]

So I have a question about the last two examples he used. The one with Luz is answered: Person > Knows > Well > Thing, but the last example it's answered: Person > Knows > Thing > Very well. How come the noun and adjective change places? Could you also say: 'Luz conoce la literatura española bien'?

[@stevenlittlehale33134]

hello, i didn't understand the first example. ''su'' meaning his/her in that sentence. but why don't we use 'le' and I couldn't find a video about it if there is, could you please share the link? thanks a lot btw you helped me a lot for learning Spanish tho:))

[@gulcicek1792]

Thank you very much🤗 I wanna ask something. İn Turkish when we want to ask someone whether she/he speaks a language, we dont use speak we use know ( e.g Do you know English?). Can it be used in Spanish as well "¿Sabes inglés?

[@gerlautamr.656]

Yes, you can use the verb "saber" instead of "hablar", although "saber inglés" could be interpreted as not being totally fluent, whilst "hablar inglés" would imply that you arer totally fluent or you have at least a high level of English.

[@josephbentleyallen7391]

First off, I have been binge watching these lessons, thank you Dr. Evans for this content. Watching your videos has helped me greatly in learning Spanish. I did have a quick question though - I noticed in the example for Saber, the last sentence, El sabe tocar la guitarra, there is no accent mark above the E in El to know that it's "he." I was curious to know why this is the case. Is this one of your "rule breakers" that you talk about? I know context matters in Spanish and "the" wouldn't really make sense of course, but I'm still curious to know if there's a specific reason the accent mark is left off. Thanks again for your help, you've been a tremendous resource!

[@ronibrowning7316]

You don't have to write the accent mark if the letter is capitalized. This is accepted by the RAE.

[@TheMaru666]

@@ronibrowning7316 No . You must write the accent.

[@jessicaherrera7900]

Why do you have to put an "a" in front of someone's name sometimes? I don't understand this. I also don't understand how to use interesa and interesan. Do you have a video on this? You are a wonderful teacher.

[@sanjaynandalall2260]

[@summerwilliams3999]

I am confused about the placement of the word bien in the last two examples. Why is it before the noun in the first example and after the noun in the second example? Muchas gracias :)

[@gerlautamr.656]

Both ways are correct in Spanish.

[@azariahsego-wallace2015]

Yay, lo hice!

[@edchang4834]

If just know someone 's name for example know some actor's name, but don't know them deeply personal, whicch verb should use??

[@yakrut]

Thank you again for these videos! A couple of questions though: 1) Can we say "Luz conoce la literatura española bien" the same way we did with "Ella conoce Paris muy bien"? 2) Why didn't we put "a" before Paris when we said "Ella conoce Paris muy bien" like in "Yo conozco a Juan"?

[@grijalda75]

1) Yes 2) The answer for this is complicated. In Spanish there is an exception with preposition "a" and direct and indirect objects. The general rule is: "a" when it is indirect object and no preposition when it is a direct object. The exception is that we add an "a" also when the direct object is a person, so it is "Conoce París", "Conozco la cocina tradicional china", etc. But "¿Conocen a Carmen?" "Conocemos a tu hermano", etc. This "anomaly" causes some confusion among some native speakers (myself included) when choosing the right pronouns (DO: lo, la; IO: le). I hope this helps

[@kenswindle4860]

Could saber and concer both be correct but signifying different things? For example, if someone knows about Paris, but is not an expert on it, would saber be correct?

[@gerlautamr.656]

In that case, "conocer" is used, it doesn't matter if you are an expert or not.I'm a native Spanish speaker btw.

[@cmyk8964]

Is it natural to say _Sé a esta persona_ to mean _Sé quién es esta persona_ or do you never use _saber_ directly with people?

[@dillonbrown1123]

So if I wanted to say "I know how to say it in spanish" would it be translated as " Se' hablarlo en E'spanol?" Sorry I have a short keyboard so I cant make created the letters with accent marks.

when they developed the Spanish language. All the estars vs ser, the what feels like endless conjugations of words compared to English and now this.. It would have been nice if someone said no. We're fine with just one, estar is fine, conocer is all we need. English isn't perfect but sometimes Spanish can get excessive.
