I was going to go outside to make a video, but it's windy, it's a terrible wind.
It's just like that, that way I can't go to make a video on the street. It's too windy
and I need the video to sound good.
This is a video to learn Spanish.
Also ... It
is also that I would have to wear, I would have to wear the mask, I would have to wear the mask
and with the mask on, well, nobody, nobody can see the movement of the mouth, right?
And the lips and then it is more difficult, it is more difficult to understand me with the mask on.
Total, total
I stay here, I stay here at home.
I stay here at home, in this room, huh?
which is my favorite room.
And ... where do I sit?
Do I sit on this sofa, on this patterned sofa?
Do I sit here on this patterned sofa?
It's not bad, but it's not not very comfortable. I like that one more,
that sofa
That sofa, that plaid sofa, of course, because I really like
paintings. So I better sit here, on this checkered sofa, with this fantastic cushion
here, to give me a touch, a touch of color, right? these cushions.
Cushions, cushions!
Watch out: cushions, they say cushions. I have two cushions, okay? two cushions.
Well, since I can't, I can't tell you a story of mine with Carlos,
I can't, I can't call Carlos on the phone ... I don't have, I don't have bananas and ...
I don't know. What I'm going to do ...
A guy has put on, a guy, maybe you haven't heard him, but there is a guy
nearby, who is surely getting bored, he doesn't know what to do and has started
drilling holes with a ... what is your name? With a, with a junk, right? with a device, I don't know what
it's called, with a drill ... Right here, right here, man, right here, while I
make the video. It's just, yeah, it's just that I'm getting ... I'm getting on my nerves, huh?
I'm getting nervous. Let's see, because one day he's the guy on the motorcycle, another day he's a barking dog and
now he's a guy with a drill. People get bored, people get bored, people don't know what to do.
There's nothing more dangerous than a bored guy with a drill. A bored guy with a drill
at home on Sunday afternoon, what does he do? It makes holes in the wall.
For what? To
annoy me, to annoy me, so that I can't make cool videos here on YouTube,
So I can't make cool videos here on YouTube.
I don't understand, really, I don't understand, I don't understand people who
get bored. I never get bored, man, I never get bored. I always, when I'm at
home and I don't know what to do, because I always find something, I always find something
. How dirty this glass is! This furniture, look, look, it's very dirty. This, this, this has n't been washed in
a long time. I'm going to wash it with these little hands. Just a moment!
Here I am, I'm going to wash these glasses here, they are very dirty, they are extremely dirty
. And so, so the afternoon passed, right? because if you can't go out, you can't go anywhere,
well, he spent the afternoon like this, cleaning, cleaning the house. Of course, man.
I really, really tell you, huh? I really don't know, I don't know how there are people, I don't know how there are
people who get bored. I ... I never get bored, I never get bored at home. There is always something to do.
In a house, always, always there is something to do, always.
Look, see how it is, how are these dirty glasses.
Look look! Hey, have you seen? There are a lot of things in here. Let's
see ... This This
Look, look, look! This is shells, this is shells, shells, seashells. Take a look.
How beautiful! no?
Clams, there are clams too,
There are shells,
there are many types of mollusks, sea animals,
bugs, those bugs that are on the beaches.
This I could use for my classes.
I could teach my students the vocabulary of these critters,
these mollusks. I'm not sure what they are called, I would have to look it up in
the dictionary, but this, this could be very interesting, it could be very interesting.
Prepare a class, a class where people can learn the names
of all these sea creatures, of course.
And look ... Ah, look, look, look! There is also
Look how beautiful! These fish, these fish, I don't know, I don't know what it is. Is it a lobster? A bream?
I'm not sure, I'm not sure, but I could use this too. I think it's a
bonito, a bonito, a tuna, I don't know, a mackerel, maybe it's a mackerel, I don't know, but I could teach them ...
Ah, look, look, look! Here's a sea bream.
I think this is a bream.
A sea bream. How nice! No? I could use this to teach my students all
the fish names. I think this is a herring, a herring, herring, herring.
Well, I don't know, I'm not sure.
I'm going to put the fish where they were.
I think, I think they were like that, right? more or less, yes. I close the door, yeah
I'm not sure,
I'm not sure it's
a very good idea to teach my students the names of fish
and mollusks, crustaceans and all the critters in the sea.
Is that ...
do you know what happens? Do you know what happens? That this is a mistake that language students make,
I include myself too, okay? it is a mistake that language students and teachers make,
language teachers too. And it is that when you study a language, you cannot, you cannot study,
memorize, all the words of the language. Why does a student want to know all the names
of the fish, all the names of the mollusks, of the conches, of the lobsters and of
the clams and all those critters? For what, for what? What it does is that it saturates you, it saturates
your brain, it fills your memory with things that you don't really need. It depends on the moment, it
depends on the circumstances, of course. Sometimes, sometimes yes, sometimes you do need to know how to
say lobster or clam or snails. Sure you do, sometimes you do,
but you have to study the words
and expressions that you really need right now,
not the ones that maybe, maybe, in the future you might need.
No, that is a mistake. That's what a lot of people do, who study
word lists : farm animals, berries, tree names ...
Anyway, that's too much, that's too much, man.
That would be my advice, to finish today's video ...
I have to finish cleaning the furniture, the glass, which is very dirty, eh?
But that would be my advice:
study, memorize, learn the vocabulary that is really useful at this moment for you,
the vocabulary you need.
If you are talking to a friend in Spanish and there is a word that you
need to say, that you always, you always want to say it, but you don't remember how to say it ...
That is the word you need to learn!
If you are reading a book and there is an expression that appears many times
in the book and you do not know what it means, that is the word you need. If you are traveling in Spain
and you want to go to a store and you don't know the name of a product that you want to
buy, that you need, that is the word you have to learn. But don't learn, don't learn
words because you have to learn them. No. Learn only the words you need at all times.
Your vocabulary is going to expand, it will get bigger and bigger, but only with the words that
are really useful, the words you need.
It seems to me that the wind has calmed down a bit.
I'm going to look out the window, I'm going to look out the window to see if it's true that the wind has calmed down.
Well, regular, regular. It's a little less windy than this morning, but it's
still windy. I'm going to stay at home and well, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what I'm going to do,
but I'm not going to get bored, I'm not going to get bored, huh? and I'm not going to put a hole in the wall
with a drill, like people who get bored do. No, I'm not going to do that, I'm going to keep cleaning.
Look, it's all very dirty, look ... Oh, the windows! Look at the windows how dirty they are. These crystals
are very dirty! Ay ay ay! I stayed here all afternoon, cleaning. I may not be the best Spanish teacher in
the world, but I am the cleanest, eh? the cleanest, yes. I'm going to spend the afternoon, I'm going to spend
the afternoon here, cleaning the windows in my house, all the windows. When I don't know what to
do, when I don't know what to do, I don't get bored, when I don't know what to do, I clean. Hey hey! One thing, one thing.
