ASMR: Introduction to Spanish, the Base

Hello

everyone,

welcome to my channel. My name is Juna

and today

I want to share my passion for Spanish

language with you. With you. Um, we're

going to discuss

why Spanish,

why is it important, why is it easy, why

is it fun?

Okay, we're going to discuss basic

concepts,

basic grammatical concepts, and

very simple reading rules. I started

learning

Spanish 13 months ago and back then I

couldn't even like read. I didn't know.

It's it's it's very easy to read but if

you don't know these few rules

you you're going to suck. Okay. So today

I'm going to share the base of the base.

Okay. If you

thought about learning this language, if

you tried

in in high school, I want to inspire

you. I want to inspire you because to

have another language

is to possess another soul. Okay? And if

everyone had

a Latino soul, like it would be so so

much more fun. Okay?

Uh so why Spanish? Why why Spanish?

Because it is the most popular in the

European language in native speakers.

We know that number one

in speakers is English. But it's

actually

when we think about all the foreigners

who learned English as their second

third

language. The second one is Mandarin.

Mandarin Chinese. But let's be honest,

it's very difficult especially if you

are not integrated, if you are not in

the country. Very difficult. And the

third one, most popular language right

now is Spanish.

There are 20 countries and one territory

um where Spanish is spoken. One

territory is Puerto Rico.

If you know

Spanish is a romance or Latin language,

right? So it

derived derived from Latin.

So there are other Latin languages that

are also very popular like French or

Italian.

that if if you if you know Spanish,

these languages will be very easy for

you to learn too and even like to read

and understand because

the base is the same if you already know

English and I imagine that English is

I think for like 70% of my viewers

English is their first language. So if

English is your first language, Spanish

is going to be very very easy for you

because of how many

Latin words English has. Okay, there are

so many words that are basically the

same in English and Spanish. If you are

interested about Germanic and Latin

words in English, you can watch a video.

I made one about uh synonyms where one

is a Germanic word and the other one is

a Latin word. I'll put the link in the

description. Why Spanish? Again, because

it's very easy to learn. Uh grammatical

patterns are pretty clear. Of course,

there are going to be exceptions and of

course the conjugation is a little bit

more difficult than in English, but

we're going to discuss it later.

Uh why Spanish? Because it is very easy

to be part of the

Spanish

internet. Okay. It

uh it is very easy to pirate to

share

content in um Spanish. I tried to learn

well I kind of I I've been studying okay

German I have been studying and it was

very hard to find anything

any platforms subscriptions especially

for me as a Russian you know like I we

cannot just subscribe to Netflix

it was very hard in Spanish

anything you want music, TV shows. You

can watch Korean

or Western shows in Spanish, dubbed with

subtitles, all of that for free.

Internet is vast and the Spanish

internet is beautiful and wild. I love

it.

Why Spanish

music? Okay,

I'm not going to explain to you all the

tenses, all the rules for conjugation.

So on just break down the base and the

first thing, the first thing

is going to be the concept of

genders in nouns. Nouns have genders in

Spanish. Yes.

And a lot of people, especially those

who are

native speakers of languages that do not

have the same concept, they find it very

baffling. How is that? A door is is a

she and a book is a he.

Why? Why is that? But you should not

think

you should not find logic here. This is

just a grammatical gender. It doesn't

have anything to do with uh if door is

presenting feminine or whatever.

Even though I think there are patterns

in different languages

from different language families where

the same things have the same gender and

of course it's like a woman will be a

feminine gender, a girl will be a

feminine gender unless it's German.

Okay. Um or like a moon. Moon will be

feminine gender too.

But these are rare. Okay, rare. And also

they are exceptions. They are also rare.

The exceptions where you the the word

looks like it's

for example

masculine but it's feminine and vice

versa. So it is very easy to distinguish

whether a word is masculine or feminine

in Spanish. Usually masculine words they

end with o

or or

a consonant. Okay. and

feminine feminine femininity and

feminine words and with a vowel um of

course they are exceptions again but

they are not that popular

and honestly easy to remember easy to

remember anyway

um for example we have el lio

that's a book. Okay, the book

li the book or

you probably know. Okay. House or El

Chico the boy.

How do you think we change it?

Like for for a girl we say instead of

cho we say chica.

Easy. Okay. Next. Spanish uses articles,

but that's not going to be an issue. If

you your language has articles, then

it's not going to be an issue. And if

they don't, you watch this video, you

probably understand English. So no

worries.

Uh in English you have the same

articles.

The definite article is the and

indefinite is e or n. In Spanish

we have the feminine and masculine

version of those articles and also the

plural version. So we have L.

It's a Z in masculine singular. L

for feminine singular

una

is a for masculine

indefinite. Una

feminine. For example,

el li the book. Elro

the book.

A book.

A book.

Um,

the teacher, the female teacher, the she

teacher,

a teacher.

Okay. Adjectives. Adjectives often agree

with nouns. What does it mean? What does

it mean? That adjectives will also have

the endings

that show the gender of the noun. We

have the same thing in Russian, but of

course, as as usual, it's always more

complicated in Russian.

In Spanish, it's very easy. The word

ends with O. It's masculine. The

adjective will also end with an O.

For example,
