1. Can I emphasize learning verbs - I'm a beginner I know no English - (Four Parts)
We recommend starting with our Basic English video 1.1 (Building verbal structures) and the Nouns and Verbs page—both focus on introducing verbs visually and in simple sentences 🎬. I can also book a guided Basic English evaluation so an instructor tailors a verb-focused plan for you (guided option available on the Basic English Quiz page) ✅. Would you like me to open the Basic English videos, schedule a guided evaluation, or send the Nouns and Verbs quiz link?
Question: Where and what parts of grammar are most evident in Berlán video lessons - tell me subject and video number - English
Basic English 1.4 Word Order — word order and simple SVO sentence structure (video 1.4). Basic English 1.7 Nouns, modifiers, prepositions — nouns, adjectives, modifiers, and prepositions (video 1.7). Intermediate English 2.4 Gerunds and present participles; 2.5 Participles; 2.6 Reviewing tenses; 2.7 Reviewing auxiliary verbs — ing-forms, participles, present/past/present-perfect tenses, and auxiliaries/modals (videos 2.4–2.7).
Question: How can I observe and study grammar - I don't want to begin learning it - since I just want to become more fluent and correct in English
Observing grammar without formal study works well when you focus on meaning and patterns in real input: watch short Berlán videos or authentic speech, shadow (repeat aloud) phrases, and notice recurring structures (asks, negation, tense markers) while you listen. 😊 Record short speaking attempts, compare them to model sentences from our videos, and use coordinated quizzes or a brief coached feedback session to pinpoint a few recurring errors to fix. 🎧📣
Question: Is this type of grammar important - I just want to be able to speak correctly
Yes — grammar matters for speaking correctly and confidently. 😊 Our structured videos and optional coaching focus on the exact grammar you need for real conversation (verb forms, auxiliaries, tense choices, modal uses, and sentence patterns), turning recognition into usable speech. If you prefer, I can recommend one short lesson or book a brief coaching slot to target the specific grammar points that will most quickly improve your spoken accuracy.
Question: How is Berlán going to help me along these lines
We’ll guide you with sequenced video lessons that teach the grammatical patterns you need for speaking, paired with targeted quizzes and optional one-on-one coaching for real-time correction and practice. 🎬 Our Basic Spanish path introduces core verbs (hay, ser/estar, common regular/irregular verbs) and sentence patterns; Intermediate and Advanced lessons expand tenses, transitivity, reflexives, and moods so you can use verbs accurately in conversation. ✅ Tell me if you want a single lesson recommendation or to book a short coaching slot and I’ll arrange it.
Tell me about Phrasal Verbs - Why are they so confusing
Phrasal verbs confuse learners because a simple verb plus a small word (particle) often creates an idiomatic meaning that isn't predictable from its parts, and many verbs combine with multiple particles to make different meanings, so learners must learn patterns and usages rather than one-to-one translations. 📚 We teach phrasal verbs by showing structural patterns, comparing common verbs (like get, put, take) with their frequent particles, and giving graded practice so students internalize how particles change meaning in context. 🎯 If you want, we can recommend a short Berlán lesson or a focused coaching slot to practice the most useful phrasal verbs for your level. 👍
Intermediate English
We can target the most useful phrasal verbs for your goals—tell us which context you need (work, travel, conversation).
2. Why do I understand English when I read or listen, but freeze when I try to speak?
Many learners struggle despite free tools because exposure alone doesn't build structural fluency—learners often get vocabulary and recognition but not guided practice in connecting words into accurate, natural sentences, which is precisely the gap our Berlán videos and coaching target. 🎯 Limited feedback, inconsistent practice, unclear goals, and lack of accountability also slow progress—our coordinated quizzes and optional human coaching provide targeted feedback, structure, and motivation to turn input into active skill. 🔁 Combine regular, structured practice (videos + quizzes) with occasional coached reviews to close the gap and accelerate real improvement. 🚀
3. What's the best way to get started learning better with this method and why is it better compared to others?
The best way to start is to pick the correct level (Basic/Intermediate/Advanced), study the BERLAN video lessons in order, complete the coordinated quizzes to convert recognition into production, and add brief guided coaching sessions for real-time correction and spoken practice 🧩🗣️. This method is stronger than many others because BERLAN teaches structural fluency—how sentences are built—so vocabulary from other apps becomes usable speech; combining sequential videos, targeted quizzes, and human coaching closes the gap between understanding and speaking 📚➡️💬. If you’d like, we can schedule a guided evaluation to place you and design your initial plan—our coaches are ready to help.

5. Why is this system better “studying English” and being able to use English comfortably in real situations?
BERLAN teaches structure, not just vocabulary, so you learn the patterns that let you build natural sentences and use English spontaneously 😊. Our sequenced complete lesson videos plus coordinated practice and optional human coaching pair clear explanations with listening/speaking drills and targeted quizzes so recognition turns into usable, confident speech 🎯. That combination—structural lessons, progressive practice, and affordable coached feedback—helps learners move from memorizing phrases to communicating comfortably in real situations 🌟
These resources are designed to help you practice and gain confidence for real‑world use.
6. Why does English have so many exceptions?
English has many exceptions because it evolved by borrowing from many languages and retaining older forms, so regular rules sit alongside irregular historical remnants 🌍. At Berlán we focus on underlying structures and successive approximation so learners see patterns first, then practice exceptions through targeted videos, quizzes, and optional coaching 🎯. That structural approach makes exceptions easier to recognize and use naturally in real conversation 🌟.
Learning patterns first makes exceptions simpler to handle in real speech.
7. How can I improve my English pronunciation?
Practice focused elements: listen and shadow native speech, record yourself and compare, and drill problem sounds and word stress regularly 🎧. Use our sequenced video lessons plus coordinated listening exercises and optional coached pronunciation drills for real-time feedback and targeted correction 🗣️. Book a short coaching session to get personalized drills and rapid improvement — first session $10, standard $30 🎯.
8. If there are so many free English learning tools online, why do some learners still struggle to improve?
Many learners struggle despite free tools because exposure alone doesn't build structural fluency—learners often get vocabulary and recognition but not guided practice in connecting words into accurate, natural sentences, which is precisely the gap our Berlán videos and coaching target. 🎯 Limited feedback, inconsistent practice, unclear goals, and lack of accountability also slow progress—our coordinated quizzes and optional human coaching provide targeted feedback, structure, and motivation to turn input into active skill. 🔁 Combine regular, structured practice (videos + quizzes) with occasional coached reviews to close the gap and accelerate real improvement. 🚀
