Un trocito de Real Spanish: «¿Cómo andas de dinero?»

This is the English transciption of the video in which Antonio explains the meaning of «andar bien/mal de algo». You can choose to view the video before or after reading the text. We suggest you also listen to the audio while reading the text, chiming in with Antonio from time to time to improve your pronunciation and intonation. Hello! I'm Antonio, a teacher from Real Spanish. We continue to publish our «Trocitos de Real Spanish», which focus on interesting expressions or grammar points, or give you a preview of some of our courses and mini-lessons. Today's snippet explains the phrase andar bien/mal de algo. In this case andar does not mean "to walk". Listen: Celia: I don’t think my sister is coming to spend Christmas with us. Antonio: How so? Celia: She says she’s had to sell the car. She’s really short of money these days. Antonio: Well, right now we are OK for money; we can pay for her train ticket. Celia: That’s a great idea, love! Very kind of you. I’m going to phone her right away. By the way, have you noticed the use of the subjunctive? Remember that, although creer in the affirmative goes with the indicative, the negative No creer algo always goes with the subjunctive. Well, we plan to create a new mini-lesson focusing on other expressions with andar. There are so many… Don't miss out. Sign up to be notified of new mini-lessons as they are released.

How to get the most out of Spanish podcasts and video clips

This is the English transcription of the video above. Miguel expains how to use some of the features of YouTube to help you learn a language. If you would like to just listen to the audio (for example, while cooking, cleaning, or riding the bus) you can find it on Soundcloud. Hello! It’s so good to see you! I’m Miguel from Real Spanish. From time to time you will see me here with our “Trocitos” of Real Spanish. They are very short videos about interesting aspects of the Spanish language, such as colloquial expressions, grammar points, guidelines for learning, or cultural information. Some consist of excerpts from our courses or mini-lessons. Lately we are uploading to YouTube the film and television clips that we use in some of our courses. Why? Well, on YouTube you can take advantage of some tools that can help you understand actors and broadcasters speaking at a normal pace: that is, at full speed. You probably already know that when watching a video on Netflix, you can go back 10 seconds to listen again to something you missed. Well on YouTube, you can do the same. Let me show you some of the most useful tools for language learners by watching videos. First, we recommend that you watch the video in your web browser, preferably Chrome or Firefox.I'm going to use these words: the tool keyboard the shortcut rewind go backwards There are some keyboard shortcuts. This is the translation of the Spanish transcription of the video in which Miguel explains some of the tools available in YouTube that are really useful when you are watching videos in another language. To pause the video or podcast: Press K on the keyboard. Press again to continue. To return to the beginning: press zero. To watch a video full screen, press F. To exit, press F again. To rewind 10 seconds: press J. To rewind 5 seconds: press the left arrow. Do you know of another way to take advantage of videos to help you learn a language? Leave us a comment below! I'll be back soon with more tips for getting the most out of subtitles. See you later! View all our materials and try out some sample lessons

¿Dudas mucho?: Expressing uncertainty or probability in Spanish (Spanish grammar)

The video above is a preview of our mini-lesson on how to express doubts and possibility in Spanish. Below are the English transcription and a more detailed blogpost. Do you know the different ways to express doubt and probability in Spanish? With some expressions you can use only the subjunctive. Look at these examples: -Celia: He traído el paraguas porque es probable que llueva. -Antonio: ¡Buena idea! Would you like to see the complete mini-lesson? It consists of - the complete video - an annotated transcription - grammar notes - a couple of interactive exercises Sign up today to learn more: https://realspanish.eu/enBlogpost: Maybe you have time to read this blog; perhaps it will help you with your Spanish. Maybe you need to review expressions of uncertainty and probability which require the use of the indicative or subjunctive. It’s possible that you can find solutions to your problems here. When we are unsure about something we can use various Spanish expressions such as quizás, tal vez, a lo mejor, puede ser, and others. But do you know what form of the verb should follow? Well, it depends on the expression, because some are used only with the subjunctive, some only with the indicative, while others can be used with either, although the subjunctive usually indicates a greater degree of uncertainty. Expressions that are always followed by the indicative A lo mejor A lo mejor salgo a cenar con amigos esta noche. Igual Igual me tiño el pelo de rojo. Lo mismo (es que) Lo mismo está enfermo. Lo mismo es que está enfermo. Expressions that are always followed by the subjunctive Puede (ser) que Puede que estés embarazada. Dudo que Dudo que tengas fiebre. Es probable que Es probable que llueva. Es posible que Es posible que no gane este partido de tenis. Expressions that may be followed by the indicative or the subjunctive In general, the subjunctive is used more often than the indicative, and adds a nuance of less probability. Quizá/Quizás Quizás me compro un coche nuevo. Quizás me compre un coche nuevo. Tal vez Tal vez te mando un mensaje luego. Tal vez te mande un mensaje luego. Posiblemente Posiblemente está enfadado. Posiblemente esté enfadado. . Probablemente Probablemente consigo un trabajo de camarero. Probablemente consiga un trabajo de camarero. Seguramente Seguramente viene al trabajo en metro. Seguramente venga al trabajo en metro. To express uncertainty or probability in the present or future The present tense is used to refer to the present or future: A lo mejor A lo mejor salgo a cenar con amigos esta noche. (Futuro) Puede (ser) que Puede que estés embarazada. (Presente) Quizá/Quizás Quizás me compro un coche nuevo. (Futuro) Quizás me compre un coche nuevo. (Futuro) Posiblemente Posiblemente está enfadado. (Presente) Posiblemente esté enfadado. (Presente) To express uncertainty or probability in the past The present perfect is used to refer to the recent past: A lo mejor A lo mejor ha salido a cenar con amigos

Hi. I’m Elizabeth at Real Spanish. Are you serious about improving your Spanish? I am, and that’s why, for more than three years, I’ve been working with a team of Spanish teachers, voiceover artists, and video editors from various Hispanic countries to develop Real Spanish. I have learnt so much Spanish, as well as new skills such as how to write a video script, how to make animated videos using online software, how to upload a video to YouTube, subtitle a video and research images that support comprehension. It’s been a real adventure. Today I’m going to update you about what we’ve been doing here lately. First of all, Real Spanish will soon have a new look. It will be more attractive, and easier to navigate. We’ll be celebrating the re-launch with special offers: stay tuned! Second, we plan to upload new videos on YouTube every Monday.
