When they use “bajar” and “subir” like we use “go down” and “go up”–these are simple words. Things get weird when they use them totally differently!

Hola! Another episode of Gringo on the Street is live! In last week’s episode, you saw how to order coffee in Spain–and that’s pretty much how you order EVERYTHING. Cool! Well this week, we’re going to PAY for all those coffees! And I’m not just talking about “la cuenta”–one of the first things we Gringos learn =) Because when we’re sitting or...

Hola! The long awaited new episode of Gringo on the Street is LIVE. This time we’re ordering coffee. If you watch this video, no doubt you’ll be able to order coffee in Spain without a problem. But you won’t JUST see me ordering coffee in this video. You’ll see something else. You’ll see that every time I order a coffee, the person quickly responds by making my coffee...

Hola! This is a brand-new video. I’ve been meaning to make this one for a while. The Puzzle Strategy is the best strategy I’ve got for improving your Spanish fast. With The Puzzle Strategy, not only will you learn new words and grammar–and see how real Spanish sentences are formed… But when you do The Puzzle Strategy, you’ll identify specifically what you need to work...

Reflexive verbs are a little weird in Spanish. Not hard. Just weird. Do you even know what reflexive verbs are? Yeah, neither did I. We just don’t use them that much in English. And that’s the problem. Most Spanish courses and books don’t specifically compare what happens in Spanish to what happens in English. But that’s how we learn–CONTEXT! (how does this fit with e...

I either didn’t learn or don’t remember this from school (as humans, we often block out traumatic events): Indirect object pronouns. As opposed to direct object pronouns. But when I started learning Spanish, I noticed right away–the pronouns were really confusing! One problem is… What is a direct object? What is an indirect object? Then another problem is… In English,...

Verb conjugation is an attention hog. Rarely do I have a conversation about learning Spanish without verb conjugation coming up. And with good reason. It’s not easy. Lots of tenses. So many patterns. Plus all those exceptions. But lurking in the shadows… perhaps even more confusing… are the pronouns! Me mi mí. Tú tu te ti. Él, lo, le. OMG!!!! The good news is, just like with verb...

I recently heard a story of a French girl arguing with a Canadian guy about the meaning of “radical” for over an hour. But both their definitions were basically the same–just a little nuanced difference. Hahahahaha. They just don’t get it. That’s not how words work. The different uses of “radical” should be a fun, interesting conversation. Not a right/wron...

Something different today… It’s different. And intense. Perhaps a little long. I’m pretty sure, it’s the most ADVANCED video I’ve made so far. But it’s important. Really important. For sure, you’ll learn a bunch of new words in this video. Or get to know words you already know, better. But more importantly, you’ll be practicing a vital, new skill. A...

I like to talk fast. Maybe that’s why I don’t breathe or blink in my videos? It frustrates me when my mouth can’t keep up with my mind. I need to calm down. I’m working on that. But that doesn’t happen to me nearly as much in Spanish… for a couple reasons: #1 — My mind doesn’t work as fast in Spanish as it does in English =) #2 — We can often s...

If you spend just 15 minutes watching this video and perusing the Word List, you’ll know 50 words you didn’t know before. Fifty good, usable words! There are way more than 50 words that follow this pattern. I just picked out 50 of the most common ones. Watch the video. Use the words. It’s that simple. Get the free resources and all other links mentioned in this episode here: http...

This Spanish Quickie covers another cognate group. Which means more free words! Remember, cognates are free words because they’re basically the same in both English and Spanish. Just knowing these words exist, really is way more than half the battle. They’re a good investment of your time, is my point. Watch the video. Peruse the Word List. Then get out there… and speak some Span...

And we’re back! Spanish Quickies, Season 3 starts… NOW! — Since the start of Gringo Español two years ago, we’ve mainly been focusing on grammar. But to use grammar, you need words. So for the next few videos, we’re going to focus on building up your vocabulary. But what words to learn? I say, learn words that are really easy to learn OR really common. And no words ar...

This might sound weird, but we have no idea how words work. And this fact (our ignorance) causes a lot of problems when learning Spanish. At least it did/does for me. Have you ever had a problem with “saber” and “conocer”? Confused them with each other? They both supposedly mean “to know”. But that’s what I’m talking about! “Saber” and &#...
