In this video, you'll learn how to use the verb “gustar” to discuss preferences. There are several different ways to say that you like something in Spanish. You can say: Me gusta; Me gusta mucho; No me gusta; No me gusta para nada. You can use “me gusta” by itself, or you can add verbs to it, if you're talking specifically about different things that you like or don't like to do. For example, you can say: Para mi, me gusta caminar, pero no me gusta para nada correr. When discussing preferences in Spanish you have to use an indirect object pronoun. This is because you're saying that something else is pleasing to you. The way you talk about things that you like in Spanish is actually by saying: To me, this is pleasing. This is a different word order than what we’re used to in English, where we say: I like something. Instead, in Spanish you say that something is pleasant to you. Here are some examples: -Me gusta tocar el violin. (Playing the violin pleases me/I like playing the violin) -Me gusta estudiar. (Studying pleases me/I like to study) -No me gusta limpiar mi casa. (Cleaning my house doesn’t please me/I don’t like cleaning my house) -No me gusta cocinar. (Cooking does not please me/I don’t like to cook) For more examples of how to use gustar in Spanish, and to learn about the different forms of gustar, watch the video of Carmen’s Spanish class above! You’ll also get to see two students practice using gustar in conversation.
