  1. Maybe I’m wrong, but wouldn’t 7:40 be – Son las ocho menos viente, or am I not getting it? I am in Mexico now, taking Spanish classes, but we found your class here on the internet and now we are doing both. Good job! Thank you.

  2. Sí. Muy bien. I think in the video (around 2:20) it says 7:40 as either ‘son las siete y cuarenta’ or ‘son las ocho menos veinte’. I did noticed in the vocab underneath the video it was wrong though! I fixed it. Gracias.

  3. Hi Senor Jordan,
    Thanks for your videos! Why are there two versions for telling time after 30 minutes. I only learned the “menos” way in high school, but now I see you say both ways are correct. Is it a regional thing? (Like, Latin America says it one way, Spain says it another way?) I’m confused. Thank you!
