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, 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.

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 this video–it’s well worth your time. Download the FREE Future Tense Practice Package available at my main site.

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.

It’s time to talk about the sixth (and final) part of speech, conjunctions. In this video, though, we’re only talking about “within-clause conjunctions”. I’ll explain what they are, and the three big differences between conjunctions and prepositions. Stuff mentioned in this video: Logical Spanish Lifetime Membership, Name Your Price!

In this episode of One Line at a Time, after discussing a few miscellaneous issues, we’ll tackle a tricky topic: the before/after question. When do we put a descriptive adjective before the noun, and when do we put it after the noun? When do we say “chicos buenos” — and when do we say “buenos chicos”?
