Teaching my kids spanish.... am I saying this right?

Question

I want to say "I will teach my kids spanish" and I think this is right but it doesn't look right, the pronoun I think is unneccessary. "Le enseñaré español a mis hijos. " Gracias!

Answer 1

Le ensenare espanol a mis hijos y pienso que eso es correcto pero no parese correcto, el pronombre no es necesario

Answer 2

claro, see, I said I have problems.
Gracias for the correction

Answer 3

Lo besé cannot mean I kissed her. It can only mean I kissed him, or I kissed you (Ud., male), or I kissed it (object, male).

"I kissed her" would be "la besé," which could also mean I kissed you (Ud., female). But I guess if you are kissing, you would usually tutear. (jaja)

To the OP: Remember that the indirect object pronoun often seems redundant to English speakers, as here.

Answer 4

The dreaded indirect object pronoun

You are correct except it s/b les, sometimes it helps to give a literal translation

to them = les
I will teach a mis hijos

If you can say to or for it's le or les
Le hablé = I spoke to him, her, you
To him I spoke

Les hablé = I spoke to them
to them I spoke

But
you can't say I kissed to him
so that is
lo besé = I kissed him, her, you
him, her, you I kissed

I have a real problem with this so it helps to explain it, with the help of a book.

Answer 5

Your version is correct, and the pronoun is necessary, but it is les, not le. The future tense is used less often in Spanish than in English, so I would say "Quiero enseñarles español a mis hijos," or "Voy a enseñarles español a mis hijos."
