Learn Hardcore Spanish (Latin America): Tú hablas muy bien.

In Spanish, tú is the informal second-person singular pronoun, used to talk directly to someone you know well or someone around your own age. It clarifies who's doing the action, although it isn’t always necessary in Spanish since the verb form (hablas) already indicates the subject.

Could I just say Hablas muy bien without tú?

Yes. Spanish often drops subject pronouns when the context is clear. Saying Hablas muy bien is completely correct and common in everyday speech. Including tú can add emphasis or clarity if needed.

Is the h in hablas pronounced?

No. The h is always silent in Spanish, so hablas is pronounced like “ablas.”

What is the difference between tú and usted in this context?

Both mean “you,” but tú is informal while usted is more formal or shows respect. In many parts of Latin America, you use usted with strangers, elders, or in professional settings, and tú with friends, family, or peers.

Why do we say muy bien instead of muy bueno?

Bien is an adverb, so it describes how something is done (speaking, in this case). Bueno is an adjective, which would describe a noun instead. Since we’re describing how someone speaks, we use the adverb “bien.”
