mama mia, moa toe, hello idiot


What a title, you are all thinking. But what the hell has it got to do with learning Spanish?

Here we go then.

Moa Toe ... or Goat Poem if you prefer... is a neat way to remember Present Indicative regular verb endings...

-AR verbs have 1st person singular -o , and 3rd person singular -a [mOA]
-ER/-IR have 1st person singular -o and 3rd person singular -e [tOE]

Abba's mama mía gives you the IMPERFECT regular 1st ps and 3rd ps endings

It was written by Abba and for -AR verbs both 1st and 3rd ps end -aba

mía shows that for -ER/-IR verbs the 1st ps and 3rd ps ending is -ía



Hello idiot ... or even better, hélló ídiót gives you the 1ps/3ps regular Preterite endings...

-AR verbs... 1st p.s. ends in -é 2nd p.s. ends in -ó

-AR/-IR verbs... 1st p.s. ends in -í and 3rd p.s. ends in -

If you don't like them... make up your own!

Right... here's some music... I feel I need to say that this band is normally referred to as DLD on the net......



This video seems to have some reverse-motion segments.

If you want to see an untterly unbelievable pop video with quite remarkable reversing ( plus an amazing song as well) look at this German song by tp German band Wir Sind Helden ... nur ein Wort.

And if you don't want to, that is fine too ...



Are there any Spanish-music videos like this... it's astonishing!
