Great video!! Thanks for sharing! I’ve been running into similar problems (feeling bored with Dreaming Spanish and it’s hard to concentrate on intermediate videos), so good suggestion to go back to easier videos!

I’m about 100 hours in and I’ve been switching between beginner and intermediate as I enjoy the intermediate ones much more even if they are pretty dificult to understand sometimes.

I’m so happy I found you. This episode helped alot

Congratulations on your milestone AJ! Also I really appreciate the advice you mentioned about watching easier content. I’m almost at level 4, and there’s a few podcasts like Charlamos that are a bit too difficult for me to understand. So, I think I’ll use that as a goal podcast.

Watching a children’s show or video to avoid burnout is genius. I’ve never heard to do that before but will definitely be implementing it going forward. Thanks for the update and inspo!

Thank you on sharing how to watch Avatar in Spanish. I love that show! Keep up the great work🎉

I'm currently playing Far Cry 6 again. I beat it recently, but I'm playing it over again. The difference is that I changed the language to Spanish. I was hoping it would change the audio, but only the interface changed. That's okay, because there are hundreds of notes and stuff in the game that add to the experience. I highly suggest if you do game, try gaming a little differently.

Teaching an old dog new tricks! Thanks brotha.

When you find a podcast episode that has several words you don’t comprehend, Do this. Print out the transcript of the podcast then listen to it while you read. Use a highlighter and mark every word you don’t understand. Then look up the words you did not know and put them on a separate sheet. Then listen and read again. You will be surprised how quickly you will gain lots new vocabulary. So the podcasts with vocab you don’t understand are Gold! This is what I have been doing. You Then listen, and repeat the same podcast while reading over and over. Until you don’t have to refer to the definitions any more and you understand every word. If you get bored easy just do that specific podcast episode once a day. Spaced repetition is very powerful when combined with comprehensive input. By doing this your also improving your reading and conserving time because your reading and listening at the same time. 😀👍

Congrats on the milestone! And thanks for the recommendations bro

spanish superstar!

congrats on this milestone!! 🎉 i totally felt you with spanish boost gaming, he helped me keep pushing on the days it was hard to get my input in!

I visit spain on holiday every year and i get disheartened when i cant understand the people there. Ive been learning standard spain spanish but i find it difficult because of the use of "vosotros" . Would i still get by in spain with latin american spanish ? Saludos de Escocia

Dope video

18:00 No way, my brother got me the same book for Christmas.

I'm just over 400 hours also. It's hard to find them talking about an interesting subject in Dreaming Spanish once I've gone through the videos I like.

Congratulations on your progress 🥳 I’m inspired to be more consistent. I really like the How to Spanish Podcast. 🤓

Good job AJ! I am at 740 hours and have used your previous advice of just watching easier input when advanced videos were too difficult.

I like the Spanish boost guy he seems like a nice guy.

Lol i grind gta 5 while listening to podcasts

I've been listening to chill Spanish, I think you mentioned him before in another video, really enjoyable

We should have a co op farm in Stardew valley in Spanish lol That would be so fun.

Under “statistics” there’s “outside hours” and you can venture off the app and log it in the website

Great recommendation on Spanish Boost Gaming. I watched all the season 1 videos of Stardew Valley and watch every episode of Stardew Valley on Dreaming Spanish. I'm at around 2200 hours and have been playing the game in Spanish for a couple months. I love knowing that many of the words that I've acquired is because of watching those videos and can apply it to playing the game. Also, the book that you mentioned from Olly Richards was great. I recently finished it myself. It was pretty easy at my level but I had actually gotten it a while ago and I noticed a difference when I started reading it awhile ago and when I finished it. Little by little everything becomes attainable.

Love this approach! Congrats on your progress!

Great update. I can't remember which video but it was one of your early ones that helped persuade me to take DS more seriously and commit to daily listening. I had been very inconsistent before that. I've been at it daily now for a few months and loving it. I'm glad I stumbled upon that earlier video.

Ahh such a good review! I’m at 850 hours but we def have similar taste and a lot of overlap in content that we enjoy. Except I lean heavily on Spain Spanish content 😆 Great advice on pushing past a slump too. When I hit that point, I either listen to easier content to increase my confidence or native content about a topic that I’d watch anyway in English even if my comprehend is a bit lower like 70%.

Literally just watched your entire journey this morning

How well are you able to understand Spanish gaming boost? I’m almost at 300 hours and I can only get like 60%-70% of what he’s saying

25 hours here.. started 2 weeks ago and videos like this are very helpful thanks for sharing your experience and keep us posted champ 🙏✨

I learned something from you today eventhough I’ve been a premium member for a year and a half. I never knew the videos were rated in difficulty by numbers. Gracias por eso❤

Thanks for posting this bro. Funny enough I'm also from Florida and ALSO worked in retail (TJMaxx) so I know EXACTLY what you're talking about with the spanish population here and how silly you feel when you gotta call a coworker to translate haha

If i may ask did you purchase the premium plan? I wondering if one can have the same effect without purchasing it

I just subscribed as I would love to follow you on your journey (I just started this week). Trying a different method than I did with Italian. I actually love not having to study the verb conjugations (even though sometimes I wish this method allowed for writing in notebooks or looking up occasional grammar ... but I am going to try and hold off). I decided to draw the images when the teacher draws them (not sure if they draw in higher-level Spanish, but I guess I could still draw the image to help reenforce). Thanks for your updates!

I just started with Dreaming Spanish this week. I am at a level A2/B1 in Italian as an English speaker. I am doing this as an experiment to see how not speaking until I get at least 600 hours (or more) goes. It can't be any worse than my Italian which I have tried to learn off and on for over 8 years (and who knows ... maybe it will be even better). I truly believe it is important to understand the native speaker first because sure, I could start making up sentences to repeat things about myself but if I don't know what the Spanish speaker is saying, why would they even want to speak in Spanish with me? I am excited about this process. Already I am remembering words/vocabulary without even trying .... they just pop in my head. I love the people making the videos .... they make it so much fun! I love listening to Organic Spanish ... I believe she learned Spanish herself (not sure how) and sounds like a native. But she uses comprehensible input. Thanks for the video update! Also, I started drawing the images at the same time that the teachers are drawing on Dreaming Spanish, which enforces my learning.

The switch to intermediate hasnt seemed to hard comprehnsion was..just processing wise because its a bit for for me

I’m from the future and I would definitely recommend blocking out time to do it properly although I found it more helpful at your level to listen in the car etc but now I find I need to be more active or my mind wanders off maybe it is just me

Thanks for your video. I’m at 150 hours. When I feel like Im spinning my wheels and not advancing. I have watched your videos or Angela’s and then I feel like it’s ok. I’m not the only one and I’m back on track. Thanks.

Thanks for your motivation and guidance.The speadsheet is genius. I am at, 182 Hours (100 mins per Day).

Beast!

Just curious.......how often to you watch input videos with subtitles on (in spanish)?? Thanks for sharing your journey.

Great job! Thanks for adding my channel to the spreadsheet. I appreciate it!

Good job bro I’m coming up on my 150

What is your reddit?

Thanks for the spreadsheet!

Huge congratulations, my friend! I'm really glad to see how consistent and persistent you are, and it makes me so happy to know that my videos are helping you! It means a lot to me to hear this, and I’ll make more Minecraft videos specifically for you ;) Abrazo!

Pablo says Crosstalk is the most efficient way to become fluent. How many crosstalk sessions have you done since level 1?

Pero que cojones

I’m just about to hit 300 hours too! Although I do read also and I don’t log those hours. You should consider trying it, short stories for beginners by oli Richards is good.

Quick question > "Blanca to go" has the spain accent? I can understand most Hispanic accents except people from Spain
