reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

Can you explain when to use para and por? I always get them wrong :/

¡Hola! 

I answered a similar question before, and I made a Google document about this. But I’ll post it here (because I get this question a lot) with some extra things. :)

Well, first of all I don’t recommend you to learn “por and para” as “to and for” because this is not always correct, and you might get even more confused. The truth is that these prepositions don’t have an exact translation in English or any other language, so the only thing you can do is to know the uses and differences between them.

This is how I recommend you to learn them:

POR: reason, cause, method, way, durationPARA: purpose, goal

I think para is easier to understand. Para always refers to a purpose, a goal or an effect. So if you’re not sure which one to use, ask yourself “Does the next phrase after para talk about a purpose or goal? If yes, use it. If not, 80% of the times is por. (I say “80%” because this is not an official rule. This is just something I thought about to help you choose the right preposition).

Now let’s see some examples to make this clearer:

✦ por vs. para

¿Por qué? - Why? What is the reason?

¿Para qué? - What for? What is the purpose?

Lo hice por ti. - I did it because of you. (You were the reason)

Lo hice para ti. - I did it for you. (You were the purpose)

Trabajo por mi madre. - I work because of my mother. (She got me a job / she is the reason I got a job).

Trabajo para mi madre. - I work for my mother. (I work in her business / I’m her employee).

Una canción escrita por mi amigo. - A song written by my friend. (My friend is the reason why this song exists now)

Una canción escrita para mi amigo. - A song written for my friend. (The song was dedicated to my friend)

✧ por + [place] = way, route (focus on direction, not destination)

Por aquí. - This way

Me fui por la avenida. - I went down the avenue. (The avenue was the way I chose to get to my destination.)

Lo vi cuando pasó por la ventana. - I saw him when he passed through the window. (My window wasn’t his destination)

Caminé por el parque y vi esta flor. - I walked through the park and I saw this flower. (I was walking around the park without a definite destination)

Ayer pasé por tu casa. - I passed by your house yesterday. (I was going to another place and casually your house was on my way).

Viajé por varios países. - I traveled around several countries. (I’m not specific about each country I visited)

¿Por dónde te vas a ir? - How are you going to go? (What’s the way you’re going to choose to go?)

✧ para + [place] = towards, “on my way to..” (focus on the destination)

Voy para el centro. - I’m going to downtown. (I’m on my way to downtown).

Nos vamos para Perú. - We’re going to Perú. (We’re on our way to Peru).

Viajamos para el Caribe en 30 minutos. - We travel to the Caribbean in 30 minutes. (On our way to the Caribbean in 30 minutes)

Voy para tu casa. - I’m on my way to your house.

¿Ya vienes para acá? - Are you coming here? (Are you on your way?)

✧ por + [time] = for, in (during)

Se fue por días. - He left for days.

Ha estado viajando por meses. - He/She has been traveling for months.

No lo vi por años. - I didn’t see him for years.

¿Por cuánto tiempo tienes que tomar los medicamentos? - For how long do you have to take the medications?

La tarea es para el miércoles. - Homework is due Wednesday.

El proyecto es para la próxima semana. -The project is due next week.

Tengo que ahorrar 500 dólares para junio. - I need to save 500 DLS before June.

¿Para cuándo es la tarea? - When is the deadline for the homework?

✧ por + [method] = by

Te envié las fotos por correo electrónico. - I sent you the pictures by email.

Le hablé por teléfono. - I called her/him on the phone.

Lo contacté por Facebook. - I contacted him by Facebook.

¿Por dónde me mandaste los documentos? - How did you send me the documents? (Through what? what method?)

✧ por as cause

Lo has conseguido por todo tu esfuerzo. - You’ve got it because of all your effort.

Por comer mucho, ahora me duele el estómago. - Because I ate too much, my stomach hurts now.

✧ exchange / change + por

Te cambio tu sándwich por mi ensalada. - I’ll trade you my salad for your sandwich.

✧ gracias + por

Gracias por ayudarme. - Thank you for helping me.

German: Combine this, combine that, leave that apart, now we have one super meaning word!

Arabic: Nevermind about the vowels.

Esperanto: It's easy, yes, but it isn't when you get to speak.

Italian: Move your hands, like thiiis! *italian accent*

Spanish: Separate what is real and what is not, now, learn a completely different tense for it.

How To Use Movies To Learn a Language

Greetings, Polyglots! I’m back with another post about how to use movies to learn languages!

I’ve noticed a trend among language learners. Especially among those learning English. Those who spoke English the most natural and fluently have all said that they frequently use movies to learn English. I’m telling you, it’s uncanny! I’ve taught English in three countries and in every country the most standout students have always said that they watched videos and movies for idioms and phrases. The result was almost always natural and fluent sounding English. So I began to wonder do movies work to help you learn a language and how do you watch a movie to learn a language anyway!? Movies are like an hour to two hours long! I don’t have the patience for that.

Movies can, however, help you learn languages in a more natural and casual way. Depending on the genre of the movie, you can learn some interesting vocabulary as well. Movies and television shows are very important for language learning, because they not only teach proper use of grammar and vocabulary, they also introduce you to the humor and culture of the people who’s language you’re studying. After only one or two weeks using movies learning Chinese, my casual Chinese has certainly improved and I have learned a few funny phrases to keep things light too. So how do you use movies to learn languages? Here’s how:
