False Friend Alert: Decepción ≠ Deception

Spanish Verbs are Just Math (Here’s the Formula)
Most people avoid verb conjugations because they’re “boring.” That’s exactly why they stay slow and frustrated when speaking Spanish. In this video, I explain why conjugations matter, when to ignore them, when to drill them, and how to stop wasting brain power on verb endings in real conversations.

Este vs Ese vs Esto? Stop Making This Mistake in Spanish
In English, pointing at things is easy: we just say “This” or “That.” But in Spanish? You have Este, Esta, Esto, Ese, Esa, Eso… and it’s easy to get lost in the grammar. Most students accidentally use “esto” for masculine stuff, but that’s a huge trap! Watch this to stop guessing and finally understand the logic behind the demonstratives in Spanish.

False Friends A
They look like English words. They feel like English words. But they mean something totally different—and can land you in awkward (or hilarious) situations if you’re not careful. In this video, I break down 6 of the sneakiest Spanish false friends that start with the letter A—so you don’t get tripped up in real-life conversation.

Tired of Procrastinating? Try This Instead of Waiting
Waiting to feel “motivated” to learn Spanish? That is exactly why you aren’t fluent yet. In this video, I break down why waiting for inspiration is a trap and share the simple 15-minute timer trick that forces you to take action—even when you feel lazy.

Conditional Tense Conjugation w/ Ser, Estar & Ir [Spanish Quickie]
In this video, we talk about the last main verb tense–the conditional tense. The cool thing about the conditional tense is, it’s just as easy as the future tense (if not easier).

Spanish Tidbit: Conducir Vs. Manejar
In this video, we compare the verbs “conducir” and “manejar”. These two verbs have different meanings, and can be used in completely different ways. But, the two meanings do have some overlap between them, so both verbs can be used as “to drive” (in Spain and Latin America, respectively). In this video, I show you some real-life examples (newspaper headlines) of exactly how and why that happens

Spanish Quickie: Regular, Future Tense Conjugation
In this video, I’ll show you how regular future tense conjugation works. The best part about the future tense is, there’s only ONE regular pattern for the whole tense–these regular endings are applied to AR, ER and IR verbs! PLUS, about 87% of all verbs are REGULAR in the future tense. In other words, watch […]

One Line at a Time, Episode #6 (The Good Place)
In Spanish, why do they say “me amo” for “I love” sometimes, but other times, they say “me encanta” or “me encantan” for “I love”? And, why do they so often say “el,” “la,” “los” or “las” when we DON’T say “the”? In this video, we’ll address both of those questions. Stuff mentioned in this […]

Llevar & Traer [Spanish Tidbit]
At first glance, “llevar” and “traer” seem exactly like “ir” and “venir”. They ARE like them. But not EXACTLY.

Ir & Venir [Spanish Tidbit]
It’s so close to the same! But the one difference is what makes “ir” and “venir” confusing. Spanish uses “venir” in only one context–and they’re very LOYAL to that context. English on the other hand, plays things a little looser. Watch this video to never be confused by “ir” and “venir” again. Other Videos You […]

Reflexive Verbs
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 […]

Indirect Object Pronouns
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 […]

Direct Object Pronouns
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 […]

How Words Work
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 […]
