Hello again everyone, and welcome back to
'One English Tip in One Minute for
Spanish Speakers' where each week I
discuss, in detail, one common English
mistake made by those who speak Spanish
as a mother tongue...and this is video
number 31.
Once again, I appreciate the fact that
you are working to improve your English,
and I totally admire and respect it as
well. Please keep it up. In these
videos, I show you a slide and on the
slide there are two sentences: One is the
correct way that someone who speaks
English has a mother tongue would say it,
the other is the wrong way that someone
who speaks Spanish as a mother tongue
would say it. You need to decide
which one is correct. Please do that
now. Read the sentences, listen to me read
the sentences, think about your answer --
after you pause the video -- and I will
discuss the answer in the slide that
follows this slide.
In my perfect English teaching
utopian world, everybody got this right...
or, everybody got it wrong and then they
learned and they never forget it after
watching this video. But I know that's
not reality. If you got it wrong - or you
just happened to guess right -- I hope you
understand now why we say it the way we
do...and I hope you study to get past
this mistake. To help you with that, I've
given you three sentences you can study
from. Study the sentences in their
entirety, -- review them, review them and
review them -- and put them into practice
through speaking or writing or both...and
just keep that process going until
you've got it.
