The site has statistics that chart how many visits I get per day. It’s neat to see. When I first started, I would get excited about 30 visits, because that was a lot for me! Recently my site has been averaging 200-250 visits a day! Crazy.
My brother suggested that I do a ‘making of’ video of my video-making process. I just might.
Until then I thought I would blow your mind with what you would probably never imagine the room I worked out of looked like.
Also, if you were wanting to do something similar, this is what I’ve been using. Read more »
This video lesson covers another irregular verb in the preterite: querer (to want). Although this verb normally is used as ‘want’ but when used with people, it can carry the idea of ‘love’ or ‘care about’. Ex: Yo quiero un sándwich. I want a sandwich. Yo quiero a mi madre. I love my mother.
In the preterite it will be ‘wanted’ or ‘loved’, but also carries another meaning that we’ll go over in a later video.
This video covers another irregular verb in the preterite: poder (to be able, can). This verb is most popular with my students in such present tense phrases as ‘¿Puedo ir al baño?‘ (Can I go to the bathroom?) o ‘¿Puedo ir a la fuente de agua?‘ (Can I go to the water fountain?). But of course those aren’t really useful in this video since we’re going over the preterite (a past tense) of poder.
Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

Hola. In this video lesson, we’re going to review the verb gustar as well as add on to what we learned in the previous gustar videos. What the heck. I’ll throw in some fruits too.
The names for the fruits might differ from country to country. These are more or less standard names. I have noticed that my Mexican friends use ‘el limón‘ for both ‘la lima‘ and ‘el limón‘. I find that interesting.
Enjoy!

Here’s lesson 3 of this series on Saber vs. Conocer. Both mean ‘to know’, but each has different uses. In this lesson you’ll have to use your knowledge of both to figure out the answers in the exercise in the end.
Uses of Saber: information, facts, ‘know how to’
Uses of Conocer: people & pets, places, ‘to be familar with’
This video lesson covers verb conocer in the present tense. Conocer is one of two verbs tha translate as ‘to know’ in English. We use conocer withpeople & pets, places and when we are ‘familiar with’ something.
This will be video 1 of 3 videos in the series. Enjoy!
