In this video lesson, we’ll be continuing with the verb ir in the present tense. Ir is an irregular verb.
In addition to the present tense, we can also use this verb for a future tense as long as we remember the rule on how to do it. The formula is [form of ir] + a + [infinitive verb]. Enjoy.

If you’re wanting to learn how to type accent marks as you work on your Spanish here are the ways for a PC user. I used to know how to do it on a Macintosh but I have since forgotten!
In Microsoft Word / Wordpad
Simply follow the directions below:
1) pressctrl and‘
2) release
3) press key of vowel you would like to accent
4) release
example: [ctrl and '] + [a] = á
For ñ, [ctrl and shift and ~] + [n]
For any other program
Make sure num-lock is on. This is important because you’ll be using the number keypad (numbers on the right side of keyboard).
You’ll press alt, type in the code below, and release alt and it will yield the resulting letters.
Á = 0193
á = 0225

¡Hola estudiantes! En este video, we’ll be learning about the singular form of demonstrative adjectives (this, that). Because of the gender in Spanish, when we use these as adjectives, there are two ways to say each.
this (este / esta)
that (ese / esa)
that [far away] (aquel / aquella)
Stay tuned for the next video in this series where we learn the plural forms and I teach you a special to remember them!

Just wanted to let those of you anticipating new videos that I am a little behind on my video editing. It turns out that balancing a full time job, a social life, everything else that comes my way AND a Spanish video website… can at times be too much.
Forgive me for my slacking on this site. It was ambitious but I knew that from the getgo and plan on continuing, although the pace might be a little slower as I try to improve the quality of my videos where I can add pictures instead of text. Since I am not a talented artist though, the pictures can take awhile.
Hopefully, I’ll have a few videos by the end of the week.
¡Hola! Feliz día de los muertos. It wouldn’t be fair to have all of the grammar that we’ve been going over and not have anything dealing with the rich culture of Spanish-speakers. November 1st and November 2nd make an important occasion and although it might appear to on the surface, it has NOTHING to do with Halloween!
El día de los muertos, or ‘Day of the Dead’ is a day in which people are believed to return from the dead to visit their living relatives. This tradition is celebrated differently from country to country and even different regions have their own celebration.
There are already some pretty good resources on this holiday. Check them out! Read more »
