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 wearing a lot of hats lately, and have been unable to work on videos as much for my Youtube channel. Something I am working on is partnering with Voces Digital(part of Teacher’s Discovery) to make a cartoon series called Súper Lápiz for their level 1 curriculum.
In the curriculum that I am finishing, there is a place when the main character, Juanito, makes a viral video. Here is the viral video for you in the form of a song. I hope you enjoy! Special thanks to Ely García for helping me with the techno music.
I’ve been wanting to redo a lot of my oldest videos. It just so happens that Lucas and I were able to make one. But he was a little self-conscious about how he looks lately so he decided we should try to pull it off as cartoons! Hope you enjoy.
So in this video, we’ll talk about Los meses or “the months”.
I think it has a nice blend of information, basic Spanish, other Spanish phrases, and droll humor.
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.
¡Hola! So I thought it would be fun to make a simple vocabulary video centered around different “mascotas” or “pets” as we might call them in English. Thus grew this idea into a video! Hope you enjoy it. You’ll also notice that we are using all of the forms of tener(to have) in context minus the form from Spain: tenéis.
And there is a word bank at the end if you wanted to see what all is in the video!
Espero que disfrutes del video.(I hope that you enjoy the video.)
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!
¡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.
If you haven’t seen the storytelling series: Cuentas Conmigo that I did this spring with anyone that wanted to participate, something that I love when I do those stories is how they push me in the creative process.
For example, I needed to make a sequence where the ninja jumps and kicks another character. And I had to dabble in some actual animation.
I think it turned out well!
This inspired me for a video on adverbs that I haven’t made yet but someone requested a long time ago!
So I thought that I could throw in some animations with Juan Cena into the video.
Here’s what I came up with so far today while experimenting with character animation.
What do you think!?
Here’s Juan dancing the robot.
And here’s him singing a catchy little diddy.
Look out for the new video on forming adverbs sometime before September!
Here’s a fun little song I came up with to help with colors, animals and some high frequency words!
Let me know what you think!
Some asked for a coloring sheet to use with the video. Here are two different ones. Let me know if you had a better idea for how I could make them. I figured in one they could write the colors in and in the other they can just colors in the colors and the animals!
I also wrote a Super Simple Reader based on the vocabulary from this song if you would like to download it to read or print off for your classes! B&W versions also available if you’d like to have your little ones color it. 🙂 Read more…
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.
