Conjugations back video & a note about vosotros

I'm bringing conjugations back video by Sr. Mara Yeah!

O-AS-A-AMOS-AN has met its match, Sr. Mara breaks it down.


Here's a tip, since we don't practice the vosotros form in class, ( it is mainly only used in Spain and Argentina) you should still take notice of it in the video so you recognize it when you hear it or when someone addresses you and your friends as y'all... you would simply answer them with nosotros and 5f needed, address them and their friends as ustedes.

Y'all understand? ¿Entendéis? Sí entendemos. ¡Excelente!

Yo soy el cantante

Yo soy el poeta

Soy el mas querido
Soy el preferido
De la juventud . . .
Con solo seis letras
Hago mil canciones
Y todos aplauden
Con gran entusiasmo
Mis inspiraciones.

Les canto a las chicas
Canto al tabernero.
Canto a la portera
Canto a lo que sea
Canto al mundo entero.
Y con este acento
Parezco extranjero
Pero soy de Vigo
Me hago llamar Peter
Y mi nombre es Pedro.

Borriquito como tú.. Tu-Ru-Ru. . . . .
