01064 – Present Tense – Decir

Here’s another lesson about a verb that changes a little strangely in the present tense. It’s a common verb though so we should probably go over it. The verb is decir and it means “to say” or “to tell.”

Enjoy!

  1. Señor Joran-
    I cannot tell you how much I enjoy all your videos. I use them for my Spanish classes regularly. I am at a school that has 1:1 iPads for all grade levels. We currently teach Spanish in grades 8-12 and kindergarten.

    Here is my problem: I’d like to be able to download the videos so that students who do not have wireless internet can view the videos at home. I have flipped the classroom! I am having trouble downloading the videos in MP4 so the students may use them. I was using youtube downloader but it does not appear to work anymore as Youtube is blocking most sites that download videos. Is there any way that you know of that I can get your videos in an iPad friendly download? I can tell that you do not object to this sort of use of your videos but apparently Youtube does not approve!

    Thanks for any help-

  2. Hi Senor Jordan,

    you know what I’ve browsed probably through all the youtube videos, but yours are simply the best. Thanks for the great job you’re doing, oh and also I started learning Spanish after I accidentally came across one of your vid.

  3. Estimado señor Jordan,

    En primer lugar, quisiera agradecerte todo el trabajo que has hecho con estos videos. Eres un profe increíble e increíblemente dedicado. Además, eres un santo por no cobrar. ¡Gracias por todo su trabajo excelente!
