This, that, these, those in Spanish: ESTE, ESTA, ESE, ESA, ESTO, and more!

Who else is here after going mad in Duolingo?

I remember it this way: este is near, so you can see the t but ese is too far to see it :-] The explanation of the accents is fabulous!

"What did you learn today?" "Oh, this and that"

Omg! Why would a person thumbs down any of this woman's videos? She's really good at what she does! And her energy is the best!

I liked it that you spoke more spanish in the lesson. Good to make the brain work and get used to hearing words in normal use.

Ana muchichisimas gracias!!!! Here is a little tip that I find very helpful, that you might want to share with students. For English speakers it is very difficult to remember when to use the Spanish equivalent for 'this' and 'that', 'these' and 'those'!!!! When we are referring to something close we say 'this' which is 'este' or 'esta', and when we refer to something further away from us we use 'that' which is ;ese' or 'esa'. OK here is the (tip, trick, or aid) notice in real life when things are close to you they appear larger than when they are further from you. The same is true for these Spanish words, notice that the words 'este' and 'esta' are longer (larger) for objects close to you than the words 'ese' and 'esa' which are for objects further away. The same helpful guide applies for the plurals 'estos' and 'esos', and 'estas' and 'esas'.

When she speaks I just smile! Wonder lady to listen to. Preach my dear, you know you stuff!

I literally never leave comments on youtube, but Ana is an amazingly effective Spanish teacher. She actually incorporates a ton of mnemonic strategies in her teaching which is SO helpful. She uses diagrams and scenarios to help you organize and understand grammatical concepts, AND she's fun to watch and learn from. Thank you, Ana!

It's crazy how she manages to slip between spanish and english so fluidly. Thanks for the lesson.

All your videos are so fun to watch

Um, this is my favorite Spanish teacher ever!

You use the right amount of English and Spanish and you speak clearly , thank you so much !

She is the best Spanish teacher in the World!! Its so awesome to know whats she is talking about when she is teaching you while speaking in spanish.

I have taken many courses in Spanish. I like your style of teaching Spanish especially with the board in the back. That's the reason I prescribed to your channel. Usted son excellente maestra.

She's so intense! I had no idea what she's saying when she goes into her little rants in Spanish, but I love her energy. Enjoyed this lesson very much. Muchas gracias para clase!

Talk about a laughing class. I moved to Mexico a week ago and these classes are the most helpful I've found. They are such a mix of educational and joyful. I find myself smiling the whole time, and as a visual learner, they are incredible. Thank you so much.

I am a Native Spanish speaker and I think Spanish will be easy for a native English speaker to learn. It is mostly a replace the word in English with the one in Spanish. I said "mostly". I'd say memorize the most used Spanish words first and you'll have won "most" of the battle.
