The Spanish Dude Podcast (Audio)
Summary: If you’ve always wanted to learn Spanish, but didn’t think it was possible because you were terrible at Spanish in high school, or you don’t get sucked into Rosetta Stone-style hype–you’ve come to the right place. I’m a normal person, not some big company and not some native Spanish speaker. I’m not a natural language learner at all actually. My first brush with Spanish ended with me getting an F in high school! But somewhere along the way, I fell in love! I’m not sure if I love Spanish because I love traveling, or I love traveling because I love Spanish (and food). But I love them both. Naturally, I want more people to love what I love, but I know that you probably don’t see Spanish like I do… not yet! That’s the point of this podcast. I want to show you that there is ANOTHER WAY! That most of the strategies and tactics they used to teach us Spanish in high school are IGNORANT. They are ignorant to our plight. I know your mistakes. I understand why you make them. They were my mistakes too! I remember the pain and the agony of having to figure it all out myself because... let’s just say... I was underwhelmed with the resources out there. Well, now with these videos (or audios) you don’t don’t have to waste the years I did.

In this video, you’ll learn about some of the most common antojitos in Mexico. Antojitos are Mexican snacks like tacos, quesadillas and burritos. But there are way more than just that. Watch this video to learn more. This Spanish Tidbit (and the next one too) is required viewing for this Spanish Quickie: Eating in Merida, Part #1. So make sure you watch this video in order to better understand (and fully appreciate) that Spanish Quickie. In that video, I filmed myself eating dinner in Mexico. So you’ll get to see and hear exactly what I saw and heard. I break the dialogue into small parts and analyze every word. Like the Lola video. Did you see that one?

I won’t shy away from the fact that I really like this lesson. It’s important. And not just for the vocab, though that too. “Faltar” is a close relative of “quedar” (featured in the last Spanish Tidbit)–in fact, it could be considered the opposite. But there’s something else going on in this video. One of the biggest hurdles Spanish learners face is simply a mindset problem. So in this video, not only are you going to learn some really useful uses (I guess all uses are useful by definition) of the Spanish word “faltar,” but you’re also going to see a good example of how words work. Words don’t mean words. Words mean ideas. Remember that. Watch the last Spanish Tidbit: Spanish Tidbit #3 If the conjugation is confusing, watch this Spanish Quickie: Verbs Like Gustar See all previous Spanish Tidbits here: Go here for every single Spanish Tidbit Make sure you’re signed up to the Gringo Español Newsletter, if you don’t want to miss out.

This Spanish Tidbit is a good example of “life Spanish” Vs. “book Spanish”. When I traveled to a Spanish-speaking country for the first time, I already knew what “quedar” meant. But that didn’t really help me when I heard it being thrown around in other ways. In this video, you’ll learn the two most common uses of “quedar”.

While I traveled through Mexico, there was tons of little stuff I was seeing that I wanted to share with you. In fact, if you’re walking the streets of any city in Mexico, virtually EVERYTHING is a real-life Spanish lesson. So during my six week trip, I shared several Spanish Tidbits. Little, teeny, bite-sized Spanish lessons. Subjects that don’t warrant an entire Spanish Quickie. Make sure you’re signed up to the Gringo Español Newsletter, if you don’t want to miss out. You can’t depend on Facebook to tell you about every new video I post. I’ll be posting these Spanish Tidbits again next time I travel. Sign up now–it’s free!
