Spanish is Spanish–just like English is English.  Even though most words are the same everywhere, SOME words are different from one country to the next.  Like the words in THIS video!

Spanish Immersion

They tell us that “escuchar” means “to listen” and “oír” means “to hear”.  But then, in the real world, we see the EXACT OPPOSITE all the time–not only in a few situations.  In this video, I’ll show you what is going on.

Escuchar Vs. Oír (A Full Investigation)

I was taught that “ver” means “to see” and “mirar” means “to watch” or “to look”.  But, in the real world, I often saw and heard the exact opposite.  In this video, I show you WHAT is going on!
