Rank #2: 33 Early Intermediate Tardar and Llevar in Spanish To Take.
How to use Tardar and Llevar in Spanish, well!  Well, I have to say that this podcast was, for me, very special (Gordon). Why? Because for whatever reason I had never got to grips with some of the uses of Llevar in Spanish. In fact, I had missed a fundamental part of how the verb worked. What I discovered during the making of the Podcast with Cynthia was that Llevar in Spanish works just like is does in English. For whatever reason, I just hadn’t put the two together. A lesson learnt. The crazy thing about the whole experience, and I will leave you to watch the video to see how my confusions were cleared up, was that I should have known it! But I didn’t. After more than 15 years of leaning Spanish, I had missed an important meaning of the verb Llevar in Spanish. How? Well, because throughout my learning journey I have always used a system that has helped me no end and yet has also limited my learning. The Good/Bad system. The system I have always used helps me when I am struggling to find a way to say something. When I can’t say the sentence one way, I say it another. As I have always said to my students: “Don’t get stuck trying to say something when there are hundreds of other ways to say it.” And, I have to say that it’s a great system that has served me well. However, it has also meant that I have been able to avoid creating structures that have confused me. One such structure was the use of Llevar in Spanish. The truth is that I always plumbed for Tardar because I understood it better. And because I could use it perfectly well, I never really had a need to use Llevar in Spanish when talking about ‘taking time’. The Lighbulb moment. So, it was because of this very same system that I had never understood how to use Llevar in Spanish until Cynthia so kindly explained it to me.  And then, WHOOSH! I had it. A vital piece of my puzzle just dropped into place with a clatter. Never be too cocky! We can never afford to be overly confident and assume that we know everything. Learning a language is a life long project and the more I learn the more I realise that I don’t know things. Still, that’s the fun of it, isn’t it? The journey is the fun part not the arrival. It’s like when we are reading a really good book and we never want it to end. I know that I will be learning Spanish for the rest of my life and I look forward to many more lightbulb moments. And you should too. Enjoy the video.

Rank #1: Advanced Intermediate 3 – Spanish Past Tense – Preterite and Imperfect.
The Spanish Past Tense using the Preterite and Imperfect. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to a professional story teller you will perhaps have noticed that one of their skills is that of being able to weave the story together through the clever use of all the various past tenses. To some extent we are all story tellers in our own right. Most days of our lives we tell our friends and family of things that have happened to us. Of course, there are those of us who can tell a great story, and there are others who struggle to keep their audience’s attention. Why is that? A lot of the problems can depend on their choice of past tense. Have you ever listened to someone who uses the Preterite tense too much? They list action after action, event after event, like as though it was a policeman’s report. Then there are those who favour the Imperfect tense and fill their story with so much description that they leave you longing for some action so you end up saying to them: “Just get on with the story, will you?” The Spanish past tense is no different The same applies in Spanish, of course. To tell a great story you need to be able to command the Preterite and the Imperfect Spanish past tense and to be able to weave them together to create an interesting and gripping story. In this free Spanish podcast we incorporate the Preterite and the Imperfect into stories of our recent holiday experiences. As you listen in, pay attention to the way the Imperfect is used to set the scene, and how the Preterite then brings in the action. ¡Dispara! Remember that you already do this quite naturally in your own language and you can do it too in Spanish. All you need to do is ‘dominar’ the Spanish past tense in a confident way. This is the first in many podcasts that deal with the past. So, sit back and enjoy it! For all the additional information and guidance on this free Spanish podcast, then why not try our comprehensive Spanish help-sheets?

Rank #2: Advanced Intermediate Spanish Podcast 5 – Commands in Spanish.
Commands in Spanish — otherwise known as the imperative tense — are one of the most important aspects of the Spanish language. No matter where you are you will be faced with someone telling you what they want you to do in Spanish. Don’t be shocked! They mean no offence. The truth is that the imperative is used constantly amongst Spanish speakers as they order each other around in a maelstrom of commands like: Listen! Eat up! Come here! Shut up! Sit! Go away! Look!, along with so many more other ways they have of telling people what to do. Whatever happens in your learning journey, you absolutely must be able to use this tense correctly as well as understand all the nuances that it carries with it. Listen in to us as we talk you through how to use commands in Spanish conversation. The truth is, if you want to sound like a true Spanish speaker, you must use them! Así que… ¡Escucha y aprende! For clear, concise additional information and guidance, take a look at our comprehensive Spanish help-sheets. You can find a free sample of them on our website.

Rank #1: Advanced Speaker 30 – Spanish Jokes and Funny Stories.
Fun Stories and Spanish Jokes Being a Spanish teacher has many fun moments, but none as funny as the ones in which a student makes an error that is simply hilarious. Why is it, however, that most times the error converts an innocent sentence into something totally vulgar or rude? This happens nine times out of ten. Perhaps its the fact that so many rude words have an equivalent ‘normal’ with only one letter difference. Chicken or Cockerel? Probably the most common mistake is the mix up between POLLO (chicken) and its rather rude sister (or brother for that matter) POLLA (cock/dick). A student of mine tells the story of when she first started going to Spain with her (then) husband. He knew the difference between the two words but she didn’t and every night in the restaurant he would encourage her to order “polla con patatas fritas”. Each evening, oblivious to the sniggering coming from both her husband and the waiter, she would proudly ask for her “cock and chips” and, even more surprisingly, receive her chicken and chips without problem. On the last night of her stay, she once again ordered her usual from a smiling Spanish waiter and waited for her meal to arrive. Suddenly, all the waiters from the restaurant appeared at the table with a plate of chips with an enormous plastic willy stuck blot upright in the middle of it. Finally, she realised what had happened and, as you might imagine, was very embarrassed.  The joke was on her! Later that year, the tables turned and the joke was back on her husband when she divorced him and took half of his money! haha. The Spanish Jokes work the other way too. English is no safer than Spanish for the unwary student. Cynthia’s father, José Luis came to England to visit us and whilst here was obliged to use his limit English to ask for things when Cynthia and I weren’t around. To ensure he had things right, he would say them to us at home and we would make the necessary adjustments. Despite his limited vocabulary and knowledge of English grammar he always seemed to get by. However, there were a couple of times when we were glad that he had told us what he intended to say. Lonely Coffee. José and Mercedes were going to the local café and Cynthia wanted to check how he planned to make the order: “Voy a decir…” he said, “Wan coffee weet meelk and wan coffee ALONE.” What he had done was to faithfully translate “Un café solo.” which is ‘a black coffee’ or literally ‘a coffee on its own (without milk). We all laughed about what the waitress would have thought of that strange order. X Rated alcohol. Then, one day he wanted to go to the bar and have a ‘cubata’. (Spirit with mixer.) “¿Qué vas a decirle, papá? asked Cynthia. “Voy a decirle: ‘I wan a dick with cock.'” We nearly fell through the floor with laughter. What he meant was that he wanted a Whisky DYK, which is a well known Spanish brand, with a COKE. Once more we thanked our lucky stars that he never got to order that drink! Goodness knows what kind of reaction he would have gotten from the barman in the small corner pub that he was heading off to. Listen in to the podcast and hear the other hilarious Spanish jokes and fun stories we tell about what our students have said over the years.

Rank #2: Advanced Online Spanish Lesson 19 – Las Drogas.
This online Spanish lesson from LightSpeed Spanish is about las drogas. A Cynthia no le gustó este tema. The truth is, I (Gordon) kind of forced Cynthia to talk about this subject and “ella no estaba muy contenta” something you may notice in the podcast. However, the subject of drugs is one that cannot be ignored. According to statistics, 80% of the Spanish population has, at some point in their lives, tried marijuana (un porro/a joint) although the indication is that cocaine use is on the increase with every year that passes. If you get the opportunity to walk through a park in Spain you may be surprised to see people openly smoking ‘a joint’ with friends in the open air. The famous “botellón”, or party in the park that many young people organise is the place to go if you want to “pasar un rato con amigos” and “fumarte un porro”. Listen in as we talk about our own and others attitudes to the ever increasing use of recreational drugs. How do you feel about their use and abuse? What would you say if you were asked to give your opinion in Spanish? A full transcript and translation of this online Spanish lesson is waiting for you in our comprehensive Spanish helpsheets, which contain loads of additional information. We’re sure you’ll enjoy them. Video for This Spanish Lesson Audio for This Spanish Lesson The post Advanced Online Spanish Lesson 19 – Las Drogas appeared first on Lightspeed Spanish.

Español con Juan

Un podcast en español para aprender español

Rank #1: La mala educación.
¿Son maleducados los españoles?Hola, chicos, ¿qué tal? Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de nuestro podcast. Os recuerdo que desde ahora en adelante nuestro podcast se va a llamar español con Juan. 1001 Reasons To Learn Spanish es el nombre de nuestro blog y de nuestra página de Facebook, pero creo que español con juan es un nombre más adecuado para el tipo de clases que yo doy online, para el tipo de materiales que creo, los cursos que hago, los vídeos que subo a YouTube, etc. En fin, en este momento estoy en un momento de transición. Como dije la semana pasada, voy a continuar haciendo este podcast, aunque con un nombre distinto, pero todavía no he decidido cuál será el formato definitivo, el tipo de temas que vamos a tratar. Gracias por vuestras ideasAntes de nada quiero dar las gracias a todos los que me habéis escrito por correo electrónico o me habéis dejado un mensaje haciendo propuestas sobre temas de los que podríamos tratar en el podcast. La verdad es que hay propuestas muy, muy interesantes. Mucha gente me ha pedido tratar temas culturales de España o de América Latina. Y, la verdad es que eso sería muy interesante. De hecho, cuando empecé a hacer el podcast, hace, creo, unos tres años, esa era mi idea: hablar de temas culturales, no sé, del tipo, comidas típicas de Colombia, o un lugar desconocido en México, o la cultura del mate en Argentina o el flamenco en Andalucía… en fin, habría una infinidad de temas de los que podríamos hablar.1001 Razones para aprender españolDe hecho, por eso llamé a nuestro podcast 1001 reasons to learn Spanish, 1001 razones para aprender español, porque me parecía que todos esos aspectos culturales (las obras de Picasso, Frida Kahlo en México, el tango argentino, las Fallas de Valencia, las librerías de Buenos Aires…) eran buenas razones para aprender español. No, no solo buenas razones, sino las únicas razones para aprender español.Quiero decir… ¿Qué es lo que quiero decir? Pues que muchas veces se dice “hay que aprender idiomas porque es bueno para la memoria, porque ayuda a mantener el cerebro activo, porque te haces más inteligente o, quizás, porque puedes encontrar un mejor trabajo… todas esas razones, aunque sean importantes, a mí no me parecen las mejores razones para motivar a alguien a estudiar un idioma extranjero, en este caso el español.Para mí, la mejor razón para estudiar español es que nos abre las puertas a la cultura hispana, a la forma de vida, a la historia, al arte, a las tradiciones, a los libros, a la música, etc de tantos países diferentes. En suma, nos abre las puertas a un nuevo mundo. Aprender español es como entrar en una nueva dimensión. Aprendes tantas cosas interesantes sobre la historia, la cultura, el cine que se hace en otros países, en otras culturas. Para mí, esa riqueza cultural es la mejor razón para aprender español.Si yo fuera ministro...Y si yo fuera ministro de educación, si yo quisiera motivar a la gente para que aprendiesen otros idiomas, no les hablaría de que aprendiendo español pueden retrasar el inicio del alzheimer o del parkinson o que quizás puedan encontrar un buen trabajo en un banco y ganar mucho dinero. No sé. Quizás sea verdad, quizás no, pero a mí esas razones no me parecen muy convincentes. No creo que nadie se ponga a aprender español por esas razones. Si yo fuera ministro de educación y quisiera animar a la gente a aprender español les hablaría de cómo viven los gauchos en la Pampa Argentina, les haría soñar con recorrer el desierto de Atacama, les contaría cómo es el camino de Santiago, cómo se hace la auténtica paella valenciana o cómo se baila la salsa y el merengue. Esas son las mejores razones para aprender español. Y hay muchas. De hecho, hay 1001 razones para aprender español.Hablar de todos esos temas culturales sería muy interesante. Cada semana, aquí en nuestro podcast, podríamos hablar de algunos de esos temas. Sería muy bueno, además, para practicar español.Pero hay un problema.

Rank #2: ¿Qué español aprender?.
¿Qué variedad del español aprender? Resumen: Esta semana alguien en YouTube me ha dicho que pronuncio mal el castellano y por eso hoy hago algunas reflexiones sobre dónde, en qué país, se habla mejor español y cuál es la variedad del español que es mejor aprender.Me da miedo usar el subjuntivo ¡Hola chicos, ¿qué tal?Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de nuestro podcast: español con JuanAntes: 1001 reasons to learn Spanish¿Qué tal la semana? ¿Bien? Espero que todo haya ido bien (subjuntivo)Me da miedo usar el subjuntivo porque pienso que quizás algunos estudiantes no lo entiendan, pero espero espero que vosotros sí me entendáis cuando uso el subjuntivo.Ojalá que me entendáisEspero que me entendáisBueno, ¿qué tal la semana? Repito la pregunta. Espero que todo haya ido bien. ¿Ha sido una buena semana? Eso espero. Espero que haya sido una buena semana para todos y para todas.Especialmente para todas porque creo que la mayor parte de mis seguidores, de los seguidores de español con Juan, son mujeres. El profesor de español más guapo de YouTubeY no me extraña, la verdad. Creo que soy uno de los profesores de español más guapos de Internet, ¿no?Por ejemplo, en YouTube hay muchos profesores de español. Los hay más profesionales que yo, que hablan español mejor que yo, que saben mucho más que yo de dar clase de español, con más experiencia, más divertidos, más serios, más inteligentes… Lo sé, lo sé, pero ¿más guapos? Más guapos que yo, no. Y por eso no me extraña nada que la mayoría de mis seguidores en internet sean (subjuntivo) en realidad seguidoras, es decir, chicas, mujeres. Pues nada, bienvenidas, bienvenidas todas a español con Juan, el profesor de español más guapo de YouTube.Repito la pregunta: ¿qué tal  la semana? ¿Cómo ha ido todo? Espero que todo haya ido bien.¿Yo? Bueno, yo bien, yo he trabajado mucho, como siempre. Pero a mí me gusta trabajar, la verdad. No me da miedo el trabajo. Me gusta mi trabajo, me gusta dar clase de español y me gusta crear materiales para compartirlos online con todos vosotros y, repito, especialmente con todas vosotras, chicas, las chicas de español con Juan.Hablar del pasado: nuevo curso onlinePues sí, esta semana he trabajado mucho. Estoy, como sabéis, creando un curso para aprender a usar los pasados en español. Algunos de vosotros me habéis preguntado cuándo estará listo. Pues, creo que estará listo el 10 de julio, es decir, muy pronto. Estoy trabajando mucho en este curso y espero que sea un éxito. En cuanto esté (subjuntivo) listo os mandaré un email para decíroslo. Si estáis interesados en hacer este curso os aconsejo que os inscribáis (subjuntivo) en cuanto antes, lo antes posible, porque los primeros días será muy barato, pero después será un poco más caro. Pero, bueno, ya os mandaré información con más detalles en nuestra próxima NEWSLETTER.Entonces, ¿qué tal la semana? ¿Bien? Espero que todo haya ido bien.¿No hablo bien español?Algo que me gustaría comentar con vosotros es que esta semana alguien me ha criticado muy duramente en internet, en Youtube, por mi forma de hablar castellano. Creo que era alguien de Perú. Esta persona se reía de mí y me criticaba porque, según él, yo pronunciaba mal en español. Esta persona decía que el mejor español, el más “limpio” decía, el más “neutral” es el español que se habla en Colombia y en Perú. También decía que yo no sabía pronunciar la S,ni la J y que cometía errores gramaticales al hablar.Yo, la verdad, no entiendo este tipo de argumentos. ¿Cómo puede alguien decir que el español que se habla en un país, en una región o en una ciudad es mejor que otro? ¿Qué quiere decir un español “limpio”? ¿Si hay un español “limpio”, el español que se habla en Colombia y en Perú, quiere decir que el resto de la comunidad hispanohablante hablamos un español “sucio”?A mí, la verdad, este tipo de ideas me sorprenden. Me sorprende que alguien en el año 2017 pueda pensar que su español es mejor que el de otr...
