Hey everyone! I’ve been super busy working on various projects behind the scenes. But I wanted to do something for Youtube again. I decided to resurrect one of my favorite YouTube series: Cuentas Conmigo, where you can add in details as you watch and help me make a story.
Here’s the newest storyline!
I’m also making materials (see first episode’s for free) for teacher’s to download to offset the cost of production of the videos! I hope you can use them in your classes or to practice as you learn Spanish!
I’ve been wanting to make a video for a long time on how we use “de” for possessions since in English we say, “[person]’s ___” and in Spanish it’s a little different. Enjoy!
Please leave any questions or comments related to the video below.
Here’s a collaboration that has been in the works since May of this year.
I reached out to Alejandra from the Youtube channel Ale Pro Makeup 96 to make a video on getting ready for an occasion since she does a lot of makeup vids.
I made a guide to go along with the video for you to follow along if you would like (see below).
She speaks fast and has a lot of words she uses. And some words are specialized. Things I noticed a lot were: clothing words, colors, parts of the face, words for make-up, yo form, future tense
Of course there are other phrases in the video as well!
Hope you like it! And if you do, check out Ale’s youtube channel to practice Spanish in context!
Extra help: If you’d like a helpful packet of activities to go along with the video and break it down, download it for FREE here!
Here’s a new video with Cartoony Señor Jordan that goes over some of the common forms of ser(to be) in context with different physical description words!
And there is a word bank at the end of the video if it helps!
Elena reached out to me sometime this past spring (2016) and wanted to interview me for her Spanish learning channel. It was then I found out about her talents and story.
I have seen her channel continue to grow and love her style of teaching. I asked her to help me with a video (since she’s a Native speaker) and I love that Spain accent! Here’s what she came up with!
In this video, she practices giving and getting directions in Spanish.
I hope it is one of many collaborations we can do in the future to help people learn!
Hope you enjoy it! And don’t forget to check out Elena’s channel on Youtube here and her website! And please let her know I sent you. Read more…
Here’s a short film I made after experimenting with camera angles, and telling a story thanks to a workshop taught by Señor Wooly himself of senorwooly.com.
I was wanting to practice certain clothing words, colors, and the “yo” form and tell a compelling story. Of course there are other phrases in the video as well!
¡Hola a todos! Hope you’re doing well. Here’s a new video on a simple concept the word: the. Yet for whatever reason there are four different words in Spanish for the! Why is that?!
Watch the video to learn more as to why, and if you figure it out, write your answer in the comments section below.
In this lesson, we’re going to go over the O in WEIRDOS, which stands for Ojalá. It’s an incredibly common expression in Spanish, which is rooted in the history of Spain!
So check out the video and practice afterwards to check your understanding!

*This video was a lot of fun to make and I hope you enjoy it and find it educational. In addition, I hope you enjoy the personal anecdotes that I have included as learning Spanish continues to be something very personal in my life! 😉
Explanation video: History of Ojalá, Spain and moor! Err I meant more. Or did I?
I am alive and still working on some videos. Most of them will have to be filmed in the summer (unfortunately!). But I am glad to see that Lucas has become a fairly popular addition to the videos.
Here’s a side project I am working on this semester. Please feel free to get involved. It will have language in context in a story. And you vote on the piece of information that will go into the next video!
I made a separate channel for it this time around since it’s quite different from my grammar vids.
