[on-screen 00:01:05] The Spanish Language And Its Fundamentals
[00:01:06] that's going to go in depth with the aspects of a language that you would need to know to speak I chose to go with Spanish first because I'm learning it right now and I would even say that I

[00:01:14] have an intermediate to an advanced level of Spanish in all aspects of reading and writing moderate speaking and a bit of listening though I'm not a native Spanish speaker I do have a substantial amount of knowledge when it comes down to the fundamentals of the language and by fundamentals I mean the

[00:01:33] fundamentals of the language understanding the basic syntax of the language the alphabet words verbs phrases and everything in between the

[00:01:40] Spanish alphabet is actually no different than the English alphabet following the same letters but there are a few differences like having an in

[00:01:46] which is an N with a squiggle over it having 27 letters instead of 26 like in
[on-screen 00:01:48] The Spanish Alphabet: Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh li Jj Kk LL Mm Nn Na Oo Pp Qq Rr Ss Tt Uu Vv Ww Xx Yy Zz 27 Letters
[00:01:50] English and also every letter is pronounced differently as someone who's
[on-screen 00:01:53] The Spanish Alphabet: Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh li Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Na Oo Pp Qq Rr Ss Tt Uu Vv Ww Xx Yy Zz
[00:01:53] learning Spanish you don't necessarily need to learn how to pronounce every letter of the alphabet what you do need to learn is how to use these letters in context however I will still pronounce them for you so that you can understand how the language is spoken a b c d e one spoken as a side note people sometimes like to include the letters CH
[on-screen 00:02:27] The Spanish Alphabet: Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh li Jj Kk LL Mm Nn Na Oo Pp Qq Pr Ss Tt Uu Vv Ww Xx Yy Zz ch&ll
[00:02:27] and Y making the alphabet have 29 letters but these are mainly sound letters that are used a lot less and something important to say about the sound yeah typically speaking if you're someone who is not of Spanish Heritage you will pronounce the sound as yeah two L's make a ye sound like yav which is
[on-screen 00:02:41] ll —> ye llave —> key
[00:02:42] Spanish for key now I would like to
[on-screen 00:02:43] The Spanish Fundamentals:
[00:02:44] speak about the words that you would need to know to say daily if you want to speak Spanish for now the biggest advice that I can give is to just memorize these words and keep them locked in your mind and whenever I say memorize this or memorize that it basically means that I simplified the context to its easiest form it cannot get any easier than this so it's not not going to be difficult to memorize these words and have them locked in your memory here's what I'm going to begin with accents question
[on-screen 00:03:04] The Spanish Fundamentals: 1.Accents 2. Question words 3.Prepositional words & adverbs 4.Pronouns 5. Days of the week 6.Months 7.Seasons 8.Time words 9.Numbers
[00:03:05] words prepositional words and adverbs pronouns days of the week months Seasons time words and numbers number one
[on-screen 00:03:12]
- Accents In Spanish:
[00:03:12] accents accents in Spanish essentially help to indicate which syllable of a word should be stressed out when spoken out loud the accents are placed above
[on-screen 00:03:18]
- Accents In Spanish: a, é, i, 0, U
[00:03:19] vowels and whenever you say them you put the emphasis of the sound on that vowel here's an example and I'm using this example as an example you don't have to know the rules for now yo ablo in
[on-screen 00:03:27]
- Accents In Spanish: Yo hablo ——-+! speak
[00:03:28] Spanish means I speak don't worry about the conjugation yo that's the pronunciation yo however ELO means he
[on-screen 00:03:35]
- Accents In Spanish: Yo hablo ——1 speak Elhabl6 ——~>He spoke El-> He El-> The
[00:03:37] spoke L with an accent mark means he because without the accent it means the article the masculine and also H's in Spanish are not pronounced so whenever you see a word beginning with a followed by a vowel just say the vowel as it is it's Noto Oro it's ablo ablo ablo ablo that's Accents in Spanish number two
[on-screen 00:04:00] e 2. Question Words ¢ Where - Donde? ¢ When - Cuando? ¢ What - ¢Qué? e Why - éPor qué? © Who - ¢Quién? ¢ Which - gCual? ¢ How - ¢Como? ¢ How much/many - éCuanto/Cuanta/Cuantos/Cuantas?
[00:04:01] question words the best advice for these words is again just memorize them these are the question words and in Spanish they look like this where is d when is quando what is K why is for who is Ken which is kual how is and how much or how many is Quanto quanta quantos Quantas and also whenever you write a question
[on-screen 00:04:26] e 2. Question Words ¢ Where - <Dénde? ¢ When - ¢Cuando? e What - ¢Qué? ¢ Why - ¢Por qué? © Who - Quién? ¢ Which - ;Cual? ¢ How - ¢Cémo? ¢ How much/many - ~Cuanto/Cuanta/Cuantos/Cuantas?
[00:04:27] with them you have to put an upside down question mark in the beginning this is a rule in the language and this is something good to remember if you see these words with accents the words are used as literal questions sometimes K
[on-screen 00:04:36] que -> that "| wanted to say that I'm happy" "Yo Queria decir que estoy feliz"
[00:04:37] without an accent mark can mean that as in the sentence I wanted to tell you that I'm happy sometimes D without an
[on-screen 00:04:43] donde -> where "This is where | came from" "Aqui es de donde yo vengo"
[00:04:44] accent mark can mean where I came from I'm not using it as a question I'm using it as a location additionally p means why because you can see the word being split and the emphasis is put on the K part however if you were to combine them together pronounced por this word means
[on-screen 00:04:58] éPor qué? -> Why? Porque -> Because
[00:05:00] because por is why por is because the last thing to note is that some question words have genders and plurality for
[on-screen 00:05:06] Gender & Plurality éQuienes? —_ Who? (plural)
[00:05:07] example if I ask kenes I'm asking about who as in multiple people instead of one person another example is how many if I
[on-screen 00:05:14] Gender & Plurality éQuienes? — > who? (plural) . How many? ECuantas? —D (feminine)
[00:05:14] say Quantas I'm saying how many for them feminine because the ending ah is most of the time feminine in Spanish if I say quantos I'm saying how many for them masculine because the ending o is most of the time masculine in Spanish number
[on-screen 00:05:29] 3. Prepositions & Adverbs
[00:05:29] three prepositional words and adverbs prepositional words can be Fanboys such
[on-screen 00:05:32] 3. Prepositions & Adverbs F.A.N.B.O.Y.S e For - Para e And-Y ¢ Nor- Ni ¢ But - Pero eoOr-O e Yet - Pero/Sin Embargo ¢ So - Asi que e By- Por
[00:05:33] as for and nor but or yet so and as a bonus by for is para and is e nor is NI but is per make sure that you have one R
[on-screen 00:05:44] pero -—> but perro ——> dog
[00:05:45] because two RS per this would be Spanish for dog or is O yet is used as still as
[on-screen 00:05:49] 3. Prepositions & Adverbs F.A.N.B.O.Y.S e For - Para e And-Y ¢ Nor- Ni ¢ But - Pero eoOr-O e Yet - Pero/Sin Embargo ¢ So - Asi que e By- Por
[on-screen 00:05:51] Yet -> Still | studied for my test, yet I failed | studied for my test, but still | failed
[00:05:52] in the sentence I studied for my test yet I failed I studied for my test but still I failed this word is is actually
[on-screen 00:05:59] 3. Prepositions & Adverbs F.A.N.B.O.Y.S e For - Para e And-Y ¢ Nor- Ni ¢ But - Pero eoOr-O e Yet - Pero/Sin Embargo ¢ So - Asi que e By- Por
[00:05:59] used as Oro so is and by is now we have some
[on-screen 00:06:06] 3. Prepositions & Adverbs Adverbs e If -Si ¢ Then - Entonces ¢ Also - También ¢ From, of - De e With - Con °To-A e In, On-En e Each - Cada
[00:06:06] adverbs if is C no accent because with an accent you have C which means yes
[on-screen 00:06:12] 3. Prepositions & Adverbs Adverbs e If -Si ¢ Then - Entonces ¢ Also - También ¢ From, of - De e With - Con °To-A e In, On-En e Each - Cada
[00:06:12] then is Inon also Isen of and from both mean de but the meaning changes in context with is Con to is a in and on is n and each is kada just make sure you know this information number four pronouns I'll use this 2 X3 chart to First explain their position of order in English in English you have I you he you
[on-screen 00:06:34] 4. Pronouns l We You all You Y'all He They
[00:06:36] can also include she but I'll say he just to put up some space we the pronoun in the fifth position is actually you all or y'all English doesn't have this pronoun but I will still included because Spanish has it and finally they
[on-screen 00:06:48] 4. Pronouns Yo /|Nosotros/as Tu |Vosotros/as El/Ella/Usted |Ellos/as/Ustedes
[00:06:48] these are the pronouns in Spanish yo to with an accent because without the
[on-screen 00:06:52] Tu —> YOu Tu — > Your
[00:06:52] accent it means to which is your L you
[on-screen 00:06:55] 4. Pronouns Yo /|Nosotros/as Tu |Vosotros/as El/Ella/Usted |Ellos/as/Ustedes
[00:06:55] can also say a or andad actually means you formal like when you're talking to a professional person noos is masculine and noas is feminine these pronouns have genders vosotros is you all masculine and votas is you all feminine and AOS is they masculine AAS is they feminine andus is you all formal try not focusing

[00:07:59] and some of these have genders such as second which ISO Ora this can also mean
[on-screen 00:08:05] Second —? Position "’m in second place" "Estoy en segundo lugar"
[00:08:06] second as an a position I'm in second place but the meaning changes in context
[on-screen 00:08:10] 8. Time Words ¢ Second - Segundo/a e Minute - Minuto/a e Hour - Hora e Week - Semana ¢ Month - Mes e Year - Ano e Yesterday - Ayer ¢ Today - Hoy ¢ Tomorrow - Mahana

[00:08:39] now I'm not going to write every single number down because this will be a long video but I'll give the syntax of how to say numbers and from there you can say numbers on your own past 20 because all you do is take V and
[on-screen 00:09:08] veinte veintid6s, veintitrés, etc
[00:09:09] then add any number you want to it but it has to be written as one word like V or V and so on 30 is TR e and whatever

[on-screen 00:09:49] — ‘oom cuarto SD. quarter (1/4) of time
[00:09:51] quarter of the time but the meaning again changes in context
