Like in English, compounding in Spanish occurs when two or more words merge together to form a new word called a "compound word" or simply "compound." Let's learn about the different types of compound words in Spanish, with examples of each.

Compound words can be divided into four groups based on the nature of their components. In this video, Carlos explains the first group: compounds consisting of two nouns in which the second one attributes some quality to the first.

In this third part of his series devoted to compounding in Spanish, Carlos will introduce us to additional types of compound words that are formed upon joining both adjectives and verbs with nouns.

Welcome to the last part of this lesson devoted to compounding in Spanish, where Carlos will review what we've learned thus far while revealing the fourth and final group of Spanish compounds, which are formed by combining two adjectives.

Carlos reviews the names of some body parts in Spanish— and perhaps teaches us some new ones— by telling us about some popular Spanish idioms that include them.

In part two of this series on Spanish expressions that include human body parts, Carlos teaches us several that mention the eyes and tongue.

In part three of his series about Spanish expressions that include human body parts, Carlos focuses on the nose and neck.

In the final part of this lesson about Spanish expressions with human body parts, Carlos tells us some amusing ones with the hands, back, arms, and more!

In this series of videos, Carlos introduces us to the small-but-very-useful word "así" and its many uses. This introduction will focus on this word as an adverb of manner, quantity, and degree.

In the second video of his series about the word "así," Carlos teaches us some of the more common Spanish expressions that include it, such as "así como así," "así es que," y "así es." Let's find out what these mean!

In this third and final part of his series on the versatile word "así" in Spanish, we'll learn still more useful expressions that include it and test our recollection of previous ones in the context of a little story.

In this first episode of his series on expressing opinions in Spanish, Carlos both defines the term "opinion" and categories opinions into three distinct groups with examples.

This time, Carlos focuses on general opinions with no value judgments. Through several examples, he teaches us some of the most common verbs found in this type of sentence as well as giving us two simple formulas to create both the positive and negative versions.

This time, Carlos talks about valuations, or opinions in which one makes a value judgment about something or someone. Let's learn four simple formulas to express valuations in Spanish.

In the third part of this lesson on opinions in Spanish, Carlos contrasts those that are used to express certainly or confirm reality with valuations, giving us examples of each.
