This lesson is the last lesson (for now) on the demonstratives. Those again are: este / esta – this estos / estas – these ese / esa – that esos / esas- those aquel / aquella – that (far) aquellos / aquellas – those (far)
Now, since these all deal with gender… which would you use when you didn’t know the object (much less the gender) of something that you’re talking about? For that reason we have neutral demonstratives which take the place of the general ‘this’ or ‘that’.

This video lesson is a continuation on the demonstrative lessons. Now, so far we’ve gone over the demonstrative adjectives: este / esta – this estos / estas – these ese / esa – that esos / esas- those aquel / aquella – that (far) aquellos / aquellas – those (far)
Those go before nouns to modify them. If only there were a way to get rid of the noun…[strokes chin]. Oh wait there is!

¡FELIZNAVIDAD! La Navidad(or Christmas) is celebrated in many different ways depending on not only the country, but also the region. I am in no way an expert but I would love to travel to every Spanish-speaking country during holidays such as la Navidad to learn! Below are some links that explain traditions in some places.
I did find some links that might be useful to you though… and for your enjoyment, here’s me singing ‘Feliz Navidad‘ originally sung by José Feliciano.
In English and Spanish:
In Spanish only:
José Feliciano is a prominent singer, songwriter, and guitar virtuoso from Puerto Rico. The most amazing thing about José Feliciano is that he is blind but plays guitar amazingly!
Since the tradition varies depending on the country and regions in the country, the possibilities are endless! But here are some links you can check out for more information!
While you wait for the new videos, I made a Microsoft word document that will hopefully be of use to any Spanish student.
If the preterite completely baffles you or you would like a resource to help you understand it better I’ve compiled a sort of cheat sheet for you.
Please note that the vosotros/vosotras forms are included in the conjugations in case you need them. Remember that is only for ‘you all (familiar)’ in Spain. Otherwise for ‘you all’ we use ustedes.
Hopefully it will help you with the preterite (an incredibly complicated tense in Spanish). My only request is that you give credit to this site if you use it.

¡Hola! In this lesson, we’ll cover the present tense of the irregular verb, Estar (to be). We use this verb for feelings/emotions, locations and for the -ING (progressive) tenses.
In this video we’ll learn how to talk about our emotions and tell where we are located.
Enjoy!

Hola. In this video lesson we’ll be going over the preposición (preposition): con.
Con means ‘with’ and is fairly simple to use. We can basically just place any noun after con to mean ‘with [noun]‘. There are two words that don’t follow any rhyme or reason though. Well they do rhyme. So I’ll give them that.
conmigo (with me); contigo (with you)
Hope the video is helpful!
