Para: An Introduction I warn you now, there isn't one magic rule I can give you that'll immediately solve this difficult problem for you. In a way, this is like "saber" and "conocer". They're confusing, because both words mean "to know". But once you know the ideas behind the words... that "saber" is for "knowing facts" and "conocer" is "being familiar with" something... it's really not that hard. Well, "por" and "para" are just like that. But totally different =) There are specific ideas behind "por" and "para". And once you understand these ideas, it does become easier to choose the right one at the right time. But not easy. Just easier. "Por Vs. Para" isn't easy. Don't let anybody tell you it is. Don't feel dumb when you make mistakes. That has to happen. It's part of the process. In this video, I give you the ideas behind "por" and "para". Then it's your job to go out into the world and look for these ideas. Use these ideas. Try them out. Take some risks. You'll get some rightm and you'll get some wrong. I guarantee it. But if you understand this video... If you understand the ideas behind "por" and "para"... Even when you make a mistake, you'll quickly realize why. And you be able to adjust the next time around--and get it right! That's how this works. That's how you learn. There are tons of tedious rules governing when to use "por" and "para". Don't bog yourself down with all that. That's what everybody else does. There's only one place to start. From the beginning. This is "Por Vs. Para: An Introduction". Ask me any questions you've got.
