For the record. Of course, if you know a phrase or a word by heart, you are effectively 'not translating' and that IS great. If you have it, flaunt it 😉 But by contrast, if you are not quite sure how to say something in Spanish, and best you can do, at the moment, is to search for the words you know and smash them together...you go...even if is not perfect that search is not wasted and you won't "learn it wrong"
Hope it make sense and hopefully the message was clear in the video👇😎

@learnspanishonx Love this response!

Thank you so much, makes sense now.

👋🏻 the why is obnoxiously, because it is. Just as English requires "do" to help the question, and Spanish doesn't. In this case, the order doesn't change but... you will always be able to differentiate between the two. Here is how:
In writing, because we have opening question mark, you know is coming
¿Estás en la oficina?
If you are speaking, the tone and context won't let you down. Speaking of context...if you are stating, not asking, that the person is in the office, you likely need something else, even in English... you are in the office... to work without distractions
Estás en la oficina para trabajar sin distracciones.
This was a great question I'll give you one better
Are you happy and you are happy
¿Estás feliz? Tone 🤔🤔🤔
Estás feliz tone 🥳🍻🤗
Tone will never let you down, trust yourself in your language learning, you got this 😎

Well yes 🇪🇸Hace could be the verb 'Hacer'
🇬🇧Does - as in s/he does- El/ella hace
Don't let that mean cat make fun you 😜 but I have a good one for you. It also means 'ago' don't over think it, don't worry about it. Just know it and use it🥳😎
One week ago = Hace una semana
I don't know you, but to me these are like power words, it is just one word and it will help you add lots of depth to some basics you already know such as
one and week, una semana, add hace, boom tremendous sentence. No changes, or odd exceptions say Hace, say the time. Hace una hora (one hour ago) - Learn Spanish on X 😌

A way to feel the progress, when you are learning Spanish, is to give yourself a results goal and not just a time or dedication goal. Pick your favorite meal and learn how to order it, pick a location on your upcoming trip and learn how to ask for directions. You will learn lots along the way, have fun, and will feel like a total winner much faster. Let me know how it goes!

Indeed, my dear commenter. So yesterday = ayer yo fui, a longtime ago, regularly= hace much tiempo you iba, regularmente.
In 🇬🇧 I'm going to eat, in 🇪🇸 yo voy a comer... BUT if you are truly going somewhere
🇬🇧right now I'm going to the library 🇪🇸 Justo ahora estoy yendo a la biblioteca.
All that and not one sighting of the verb "ir" 😳🫣 what can you do... you gotta love it ☺️
I just stopped at present tense to not lose any followers, but since you brought it up, if anyone quits I am blaming it on you 😅😜 🏳️

[Learn Spanish on X @learnspanishonx]

Two easy, one hard. I posted on how it is actually easier to say in Spanish “the day after tomorrow” 🇪🇸Pasado mañana. And now, I am so sorry, this post is about the verb “to go” 🇪🇸“Ir” which first person is f*!ing “voy” 🫣 how is that even possible? I don’t know, but it is, sorry guys, so it is one of those that you just have to memorize, and it is ok to curse, make others suffer too, hit repost 😁 and let’s go! vamos!

Knowing in Spanish how to ask ¿Es dulce o salado? Is it sweet or savory? With almost endless fillings available, and food slang changing by city, can save you from missing out on dessert, it has saved me! and I speak Spanish (true story) Helpful? 🤞🏼😎
