One Line at a Time, Episode #1 (The Good Place)
This is the first episode of “One Line at a Time”. I pick one line from whatever TV show or movie I’m currently into on Netflix. I tell you what the character said in English, how the subtitlers translated it in Spanish, and I’ll point out anything that gets my attention–anything I find interesting or tricky.

One Line at a Time, Episode #2 (The Good Place)
In this video, we look at another line from the TV show, The Good Place. Issues discussed in this episode: preterite tense Vs. imperfect tense, ser Vs. estar, why do they use an article in Spanish, but we don’t in English? and words don’t mean words.

In this episode of “One Line at a Time,” we’ll look at a few little things (vocab, prepositions, that stuff) before we get to the MAIN EVENT: Why they so often say “el” or “la” in Spanish when we don’t say “the” in English?

One Line at a Time, Episode #6 (The Good Place)
In Spanish, why do they say “me amo” for “I love” sometimes, but other times, they say “me encanta” or “me encantan” for “I love”? And, why do they so often say “el,” “la,” “los” or “las” when we DON’T say “the”? In this video, we’ll address both of those questions.
