Thank you for this lesson. I have been living in Mexico for a year and have come to a paltue in my Spanish learning. The program I had been using isn’t working on my computer at the present. I actually didn’t realize the diff between tambien and tampoco. Funny thing is Iv been using them anyway. lol Thanks for the verification.

Hola Sr. Jordan,

I’m a little bit confused about ‘tampoco’ In your first example it appears in a sentence without negative: tampoco me gusta ver la television. but then you say that it uses in sentences with negative: no me gusta estudiar. no me gusta tampoco. Or may be my English is limited yet to catch your explanation Anyway thank you.
By Señor Jordan, January 28, 2010 @ 8:17 am

Tampoco can go before to replace ‘no’
or it can go after the verb as long as you use ‘no’

Correcto:
1. No me gusta la pizza tampoco.
2. Tampoco me gusta la pizza.

Incorrecto:
1. Me gusta la pizza tampoco.

I took part in a brief session of Spanish classes at a local university and was introduced to your lessons as a resource. Your short lessons are great and give me more practice and understanding of things that were covered and others that were not. Keep up the great work. Gracias, mi amigo!

What’s is the difference between ¿y tu? And ¿y a ti?
By Señor Jordan, June 25, 2010 @ 11:28 pm

We use ¿y tú? with most verbs and in most contexts to mean ‘and you?’

However, we’ll use ¿y a ti? with gustar (and verbs that follow the same pattern).

Literally we’re saying:
(A mí) Me gusta la clase. (Class is pleasing to me.)
(A ti) Te gusta la clase. (Class is pleasing to you.)

Hey Senor!

I love your videos!

I’m a language teacher, too in Hungary.

I’ve been learning Spanish for a while and this is the best material I’ve ever seen and heard.

Feel free to contact me via my email.

We could discuss some teaching methods we use and change ideas

Regards,
Timi

Boa noite Senõr Jordan.
Estou escrevendo em português, mas creio que não será difícil entender, pois português e espanhol são parecidos. Comecei a estudar espanhol esta semana utilizando seus videos. Nunca pensei que seria tão bom e seus videos tem me ajudado muitíssimo. Pretendo no ano que vem estudar em um curso, mas continuarei acompanhando suas aulas. Obrigada.

Why would you use mucho (more) rather than muy (very) ex: no me gusta muy practicar deportes rather than no me gusta mucho practicar…..?
By Señor Jordan, November 1, 2010 @ 12:05 pm

Mucho = a lot, much
muy = very

“Me gusta mucho” literally means “It pleases me a lot”
vs
“Me gusta muy” means “it pleases me very”

That’s why we use the first one. It makes more sense.

Thanks

You are terrific at this. I am 70 and I was ready to give up but you have managed to convince me that even I am not to old to learn.
By James, May 27, 2011 @ 10:19 pm

I was just wonderng how you would say my favorite song is so and so or my fav. type of music is so and so?

Thanks James

Why did you just use No me gusta here, instead of No, no me gusta?
By Miguel, December 1, 2011 @ 11:04 am

Great Job! Sr Jordan. I like what you are doing and it is helping me greatly.
