These video lessons are short and the instructor, Jordan, is articulate and includes a lot of examples:

This is a classic song by Manu Chau for learning to use "gustar" through example. This is not the official video but is handy since it has the lyrics. Manu Chau often mixes languages in his songs so you might notice a little French thrown in ("je ne sais pas"; "je ne sais plus").

Ok, these are a bit hokey, but I find the more hokey they are the easier they are to remember! There are three songs. The first one is really good for practicing the "a mi me gusta/a mi tambien" combination' the second song doesn't have much but it does have a line that repeats "a todos los ninos les gustan + verb"; the third video practices the combination of "no le gusta(n) / me gusta(n).

Emily Novak

2018-10-31 20:16:11 UTC

I like this website. It is very simple but there are 12 sentences that have drop down menus and you get to choose the correct pronoun as well as the correct form of gustar. Once you have completed each sentence it will tell you what you have correct and what you have incorrect so you can practice trial and error.

I like how she explained the difference between between English in Spanish regarding how in Spanish we can't express that we like rather that the item is pleasing to me. So the subject doing the action is the thing and it is fascinating to me or important to me.. But is it different when we don't like something? Because I think we can so no Me gusta esto... right?

Coral Kridler

2019-02-15 00:35:46 UTC

I chose this website because it not only helps by showing gustar, but it also shows different verbs similar to gustar (like aburrir, encantar, etc). It also has little quizzes to help you test yourself to see if you are getting the hang of it. https://studyspanish.com/grammar/lessons/gustar

I like this video on Gustar because he understood why it is so confusing for English speakers. It doesn't translate to Spanish easily like other verbs. I also liked how he went through each conjugation with the indirect object of Gustar. And he discussed how the translation and conjugation of Gustar is like other Spanish verbs such as Encantar.

Liked reading up on how to think about why Gustar functions differently than other verbs... " its been explained to me is that in using the verb Gustar a sort of role reversal occurs in the sentence when translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, as a result of gustar translating not into "to like", but more accurately into "to please""
