Placing accent in Spanish words PART 2 - Learn the Rule of Accentuation and when to use TILDE
In this video, I explain the rule of accentuation in Spanish. Unlike some other languages where stress can be placed anywhere in a word, in Spanish, the stress falls on only one of the last two syllables of a word.
I'll give you plenty of examples to help you understand the rule and show you how to apply it in practice. And of course, I'll also explain how to use the tilde, the graphic accent that we use to indicate when the rule of accentuation is broken.
By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of how to determine the stress in Spanish words and when to use the tilde.

Placing accent in Spanish words PART 1 - Learn how to DIVIDE Spanish words into SYLLABLES
In this video, we'll cover an important aspect of Spanish language learning - dividing words into syllables. Syllables are the building blocks of words and the first step in identifying where the stress or accent should be placed in a word.
We'll go over some general rules for dividing words into syllables, including how to identify diphthongs (two vowels pronounced together in the same syllable), and how to separate them to properly pronounce each syllable.
This is a crucial step in mastering Spanish pronunciation and will help you sound more natural when speaking.
So, if you want to improve your Spanish speaking skills and sound more like a native speaker, be sure to tune in!

Amazing Lesson - GUSTAR and double pronouns - Part 2
This lesson is about the verb gustar and how it requires the use of indirect object pronouns to indicate the person or people who are pleased by something.
This sometimes includes the use of 2 pronouns "a mí me", "a ti te", "a él/ella/usted le", "a nosotros/nosotras nos", "a vosotros/vosotras os", or "a ellos/ellas/ustedes les", for no obvious reason.
Luckily, the use of a double pronoun is not compulsory, so you're ok with sticking to one!

Amazing lesson - Learn HOW to use GUSTAR and the PRONOUNS correctly - Part 1
In this lesson, we'll take a closer look at the Spanish verb "gustar." Although "gustar" is often translated as "to like," it actually works a bit differently from other verbs in Spanish.
Instead of the subject of the sentence being the one doing the liking, as in English ("I like pizza"), with "gustar" the subject is the thing being liked ("Pizza is pleasing to me").
We'll explore how "gustar" behaves more like verbs such as "amaze," "fascinate," and "impress" in Spanish. We'll go over how to form sentences with indirect object pronouns, and give examples.
By the end of this lesson, you'll have a solid understanding of how to use "gustar" to express likes and dislikes in Spanish.
