It’s time to talk about the sixth (and final) part of speech, conjunctions. In this video, though, we’re only talking about “within-clause conjunctions”. I’ll explain what they are, and the three big differences between conjunctions and prepositions. Stuff mentioned in this video: Logical Spanish Lifetime Membership, Name Your Price!

In this episode of One Line at a Time, after discussing a few miscellaneous issues, we’ll tackle a tricky topic: the before/after question. When do we put a descriptive adjective before the noun, and when do we put it after the noun? When do we say “chicos buenos” — and when do we say “buenos […]

In this episode of “One Line at a Time,” we’ll look at a few little things (vocab, prepositions, that stuff) before we get to the MAIN EVENT: Why they so often say “el” or “la” in Spanish when we don’t say “the” in English? Stuff mentioned in this video: Lifetime Membership, Name Your Price! How […]

In this video, we look at another line from the TV show, The Good Place. Issues discussed in this episode: preterite tense Vs. imperfect tense, ser Vs. estar, why do they use an article in Spanish, but we don’t in English? and words don’t mean words. Stuff mentioned in this video: Lifetime Membership, Name Your […]

This is the first episode of “One Line at a Time”. I pick one line from whatever TV show or movie I’m currently into on Netflix. I tell you what the character said in English, how the subtitlers translated it in Spanish, and I’ll point out anything that gets my attention–anything I find interesting or […]

Adverbs are the most difficult “part of speech” for me to identify. In this video, we look at what adverbs really are, and what they really do–so they’re easier to identify when we’re confused.

There are tons of words out there that we don’t think of as adjectives that ARE really adjectives. In this video, we go over some of the most common ones. Stuff mentioned in this video: How to Learn English: The 6 Parts of Speech (Part 1 of 8) How to Learn English: Nouns (Part 2 […]

In this video, we talk about verbs–what they are and what they’re NOT. We go over what “the infinitive” and “conjugation” are, and what they look like. Then, we discuss the five forms of a verb–four of which DO NOT count as verbs. Stuff mentioned in this video: How to Learn English: The 6 Parts […]

What are nouns? What are the different roles that nouns serve in our sentences? Why does The Spanish Authority consider “pronouns” to be a separate part of speech? Pronouns are nouns, right? In this video, we talk about all that--and more.

In this video, the first in an 8-part series, we talk about what the “parts of speech” are, and how they work. Plus, I’ll show you the framework that every clause in every sentence adheres to in reality.

In this video, we take a look at all those “weird” uses of “llevar”. Which turn out… not to be so weird. We actually say the same things in English a lot of the time–we simply don’t realize it. But after this video we do =) Download the Battle Plans: Download the FREE Spanish Battle […]

At first glance, “llevar” and “traer” seem exactly like “ir” and “venir”. They ARE like them. But not EXACTLY. When schools, books and courses present them in a simple manner, they’re kinda missing the part that actually confuses us lol. If YOU’VE ever been confused by the words “take” or “bring” — watch this video! […]

It’s so close to the same! But the one difference is what makes “ir” and “venir” confusing. Spanish uses “venir” in only one context–and they’re very LOYAL to that context. English on the other hand, plays things a little looser. Watch this video to never be confused by “ir” and “venir” again. Download the Battle […]
