01-003 – Formal vs. Informal
In this video, we’ll be reviewing some of the basic questions from the Basic Conversation as well as discussing the two ways to say “You” in Spanish: Tú and Usted (Ud).
Tú is you for people we know and younger people whereas Usted is used for respect.
Hope it helps! Feel free to ask any questions below.

Hello I have recently been called to the mission field to Mexico. I am trying to learn Spanish and have a desire but no finances to go to language school. Am praying though. So in the mean time I will study with you. Do you have DVD’s? If so how much? Thank you so much? God Bless

Hola, senor Jorden !
when it’s becoming formal from informal, we are just adding “Ud.” at the end of the sentence. And simultaneously, some changes are happening in rest of the part os the sentence, basically the ‘Verb” one. But, now I am not getting it. what’s the rule in it? I hope, I may learn in later lessons. isn’t it?
! Gracias !
! Adios !

Hey, I really like your lessons, you take it slow and repeat everything multiple times so it’s easy to remember, they’re super helpful, thanks a lot!

Hi, I’m just a bit confused. So basically the verbs, “Se” & “Te” refers to “YOU” OR “HE or SHE” For example, i would ask a girl, como te llamas. But a teacher, i would say como se llama usted. Why would that be “se”? (The question I am really trying to ask,)
