upcoming videos

I might not be able to do videos weekly due to graduate classes, but I’ll put up as many as is humanly possible this summer!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is a list of some upcoming lessons I’m planning.  Some might be combined while others might be omitted, but this is basically what to expect.

¡Bienvenidos! – Welcome!

¡Bienvenidos a mi sitio web! My name is Señor Jordan and this website’s goal is to help anyone interested in their quest to learn Spanish.  I will be helping you learn with home-made videos.  This blog will be used embedding the videos and organizing them to more easily peruse.

I am currently a high school Spanish teacher in rural Missouri, but I recently have seen a need both for my students and for everyone else to have a place to go for free Spanish lessons that are numerous and helpful.

El Sistema / System

At the request of some of my Spanish II students, I have started making videos (when possible) for them as well.  Originally I had only intended doing Spanish 1 videos to make it less confusing for everyone.  But, oh well.

To attempt to organize amidst the confusion, I’ve changed the titles of the videos.  At the beginning of the titles on this page, there will be either 01 or 02 and a three digit number.

How I make my videos

¡Hola!

I’ve been getting requests by teachers to show how I make my videos! Enjoy!

01 Possessive Adjectives (part 1)

This video lesson covers the possessive adjectives: mi(s), tu(s) & su(s) in Spanish.  We use these when we want to tell to whom something belongs.

In part two, we’ll go over the remaining possessive adjectives.

Enjoy!

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about this video.

01 Direct Objects (lo, la, los, las)

Hola. This video lesson covers complementos directos (direct objects).  In Spanish we have to  be a little more careful with direct objects than in English because we have to take both ‘gender’ and ‘plurality’ into account. Oh right, and we put them in a different place in the sentence.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about this lesson.

01 Present Tense – Necesitar

This lesson covers a useful verb: necesitar (to need).  Thankfully, necesitar is a pretty easy one to change, but we could easily use this in normal conversation with others.

01 La ropa

Hola. This video lesson covers la ropa (better known as ‘clothing’).  In this video we cover some common words. Some will vary on who you talk to and what country you’re in. These should be fairly understood…  (see notes at bottom of post)

01037 La familia

Hola. This lesson is for vocabulary dealing with the immediate familia.  There are many more words for many other members of the family but these are the basics!  Hope it’s helpful.
