El Sistema / System

At the request of some of my Spanish II students, I have started making videos (when possible) for them as well.  Originally I had only intended doing Spanish 1 videos to make it less confusing for everyone.  But, oh well.

To attempt to organize amidst the confusion, I’ve changed the titles of the videos.  At the beginning of the titles on this page, there will be either 01 or 02 and a three digit number. Read more »

02 – Antes de / Después de + verb (part 2) w/ reflexives

¡Hola!  In this video lesson, we’ll be reviewing what we talked about in the last video about antes de (before) and después de (after).  We’ll also be throwing in reflexive verbs and how to change them after antes de / después de.  This video might be little more advanced for some.  If you’ve been working on the basics, there might be some lessons in between that you would need before proceeding.  Hope it’s helpful!

Please leave any questions, comments, or suggestions about this video below!

02 – Reflexive verbs (part 1)

In this video lesson we’ll be going over verbos reflexivos, or ‘reflexive verbs’.  In this particular video, the reflexive verbs are those in which a person does the action to them self.  They are conjugated a little differently only because of the -se on the end.  This video lesson is a little more advanced.  Enjoy!

01-013 – ¿Cómo eres? – Describing your personality (part 2)

This lesson builds off of what we went over in the previous video as well as adds the concept of agreement. Basically, if I am describing a male, I have to make sure my adjective also is the male form.  If I am describing a female, I have to change the adjective to the female form.  Watch the video and it will (hopefully) make more sense! :-)

Hope it was helpful.  Please leave comments, questions or suggestions if you so desire.
