hey que la que mi gente rocky here from speak Spanish faster calm en el vídeo de hoy yo te voy a dar una actividad que puedas ultinice our Parra Ugarte con la con who gasps young de los verbos in espanol in today's video I'm going to be giving you an activity and exercise that you can use to help you with conjugating Spanish verbs now we all know that it is important to learn how to conjugate Spanish verbs and even though I teach students that hey when you're getting started don't worry so much about the conjugations just worry about getting a lot of input worried about learning words different vocabulary words and then the conjugation will come but eventually you will have to learn how to properly conjugate you know verbs in Spanish if you want to master the Spanish language if you want to speak Spanish fluently and if you want to just simply speak Spanish correctly now when students learn in a traditional setting like in school we spend all our time doing conjugation exercises and practice and getting ready for tests and it doesn't really translate to speaking so I think when learning Spanish you have to be listening a lot and you have to be learning these vocabulary words but again eventually you're gonna have to reach the point where you have to learn the conjugation so I think school approaches this the wrong way where they teach you all the conjugations first before you even really learn the language I think that's a mistake but then there's another big mistake in the way that they teach conjugation that really takes you forever and I will get to that mistake in just a second and then I will show you instead what you should do to learn conjugation faster but with all this being said again I don't want you to just focus on conjugations every single day yes they are an important part of mastering the language but first nothing is very important that every day you are getting an ample amount of Spanish inputs hearing a lot of Spanish reading Spanish before you really dive into this conjugation but for most students you have had a basic background in Spanish you've heard a lot of Spanish you might even be able to understand some and now you're getting into the speaking and you want to make sure that you are speaking properly and use all the words the right way so that's when the conjugation training that I'm about to show you will come into play now here's how we learn conjugation in school and this way is very very ineffective okay so in Spanish one maybe like after we learn the ABCs and stuff they start teaching us present tense conjugation and we pretty much spend the whole Spanish one I think on present tense conjugation now a whole year passes in year two we learn past tense conjugation we might not even learn future tense conjugation until year three so for many students when learning in school it's not until three years later that you learn how to say I will go here or I will talk to you like we don't even learn how to say that until three years of Spanish and it makes it pretty much impossible to properly communicate with people when it takes us years to learn conjugations so again how it works is we usually spend all semester or a few months on one tense so let's just say the present tense let's take the present tense what we spend all the time learning how to say things in the present tense for every single verb individually so each day we're learning how to conjugate this verb how to do this verb AR verb ER verb for present tense and we practice that for a year then the next year we come back now we are on the preterite the preterite tense the imperfect tense talking in the past then we come back the next year and we're learning about the future tense and out of things say things in the future and then during that year we might touch on the subjunctive and we might touch on all these other tenses that are in Spanish right and it takes us years to fully get a grasp of how to properly conjugate verbs so that we can speak Spanish properly so what we're going to do is we're going to flip this process on its head and we're going to do the opposite of what you've probably been taught in school and I promise you this is really going to help you learn conjugation much faster okay so instead of spending years on 1/10 what we are going to do is we are going to spend a week or two on one verb let's take an AR verb for example let's take the word by LOD all right to dance this is a regular AR verb so what we're going to do is we're going to take regular AR verb a regular ER verb in a regular IR verb now if you already have a little grasp of conjugation you can do all three pick one verb of each but if you're new to conjugation just pick one verb so let's just say one a AR verb let's start with the word by ladder start with a regular AR verb or regular ER verb or a regular IR verb now for the verb by LOD we have I danced below you danced by Las he she or stead dances baila we danced bailamos y'all dance by lice and this is the vosotros form you don't really have to if you're not going to Spain then you don't even need to pay attention to the vosotras form because they really only use it in Spain it's not used in Latin America or in Caribbean Spanish but I don't want to leave it out and then we have Bizon for yo dance or they dance or the the boys dance the girls dance y'all dance in the hostess form by line all right so now we know how to say I dance you dance he she or you in the formal dance we dance yah dance and then they dance or yah dance in the formal sense but ustedes form is the form that you will hear for y'all in Latin America and the Caribbean again now we know how to say I dance and we look at the rules for this AR verb what happens with this verb alright so for instance let's just take the yo form below for by ladder we remove the AR and we simply add an O for the yo form alright by las we remove the AR and we we add an a s there so you do this throughout all these again this is a regular AR verb when I say regular verb that means all the regular conjugations will follow the same pattern so I'll get to that in a second but now let's say we look at the next tense for this same word and now we're going to look at how to say bailar or the word I dance instead in the past so I danced the preterite so in the past tense we have yo ballet 2 by last a el Ella usted below nosotros bailamos aoe's ayahs status by Latin so we have these basic rules and all ar verbs will follow these same rules that you see here alright now again we can do this for the next tense the imperfect tense and we can do this for the future tense now when we learn all these rules for this one AR verb you will know how to use every single regular AR verb so now if you know how to say I dance or I danced or I used to dance you will know how to say I talked I talked or I used to talk because the word a blood follows the same exact rules as by lad so when you master the AR tense the AR verb conjugations for all the tenses at once you now will be able to use any word that is a regular AR verb in this if you do this each day it might take you a week to really learn these tenses if you spend like 30 minutes a day learning these in about a week or two you will know all the AR verb tenses now let's say you take another week or two for the ER and another week or two for the IR now within three to six weeks you've mastered all the conjugations for regular verbs and regular verbs I don't know the exact number but if we go on the basic per the basic 8020 rule then I would say 80% of Spanish verbs regular and about 20% maybe even less than that are irregular so you already know about 80% of verbs you know how to conjugate them properly in any tense in a few weeks now that's not to mention yes you will have to take some time and learn some of these irregular verbs but once you have a general understanding of how these all the conjugation tenses work learning those will not be that difficult so again we're going to flip things on its head instead of spending two months to learn one tense we're going to spend a month to learn all the tenses at once and when you do it like this by focusing just remember just focus on one word all right just focus on one word at a time now make sure again that you are learning a regular AR verb in a regular er verb in a regular IR verb because when you master these that will help you learn all the other regular verb conjugations because they all are regular verbs because they follow the same exact rules and this will drastically help you learn conjugations much much faster if you found this video helpful and you're looking to take your Spanish to the next level definitely
