At Dreaming Spanish, you will learn Spanish the way you learned your native language, namely, through immersion. Simply start watching content at a level that is comprehensible to you, and gradually work your way towards more and more advanced videos.
As researchers like Dr. Stephen Krashen have shown over the past 40+ years, receiving comprehensible input, that is, messages that you can understand in the target language, is what actually results in language acquisition.
By listening to our stories, cultural expositions, conversations and games, you will get used to real Spanish as it's used in context, and develop a native-like intuition for the grammar and the vocabulary, together with a clear pronunciation.
Experience the language. Become the language.

Thanks for the longer format video. I think this type of content is perfect for the channel. Commentary on these sorts of societal issues is very engaging and easy for me to pay attention to. Input tremendo!
I wish there were more science/math/geography videos. I love these
Estoy de acuerdo!!!
si por favor
The editing in this was great! I was not ready for 1:06 haha almost spit black coffee all over my monitor
same lol, im still laughing about it 😂
He doesn’t say they’re racist but says why some people might think they’re racist.
A nuanced overview of why people might think maps are racist is very European. Actually thinking that maps are racist is very American, lol.
@@stevedperkinsbecause Europeans are in closer proximity to other countries and cultures and therefore realize they are not the center of the world. Many Americans believe their language, culture, and customs ARE the center of the world.
And those people should realise that modern civilisations started in Europe, democracy came with it, and much more, probably the most important continent in human history, so if some things seem to be focused around Europe, that's why.
@@Mikebigmike94 Actually, it started in the middle east. There were also some advanced civilizations in the pre-Columbus new world. They were cut off and evolving independently but still had some sophistication. It's just recency bias that makes you think that Europe is somehow superior. Things can and do change.
@@theymademepickaname1248 maybe but Democracy as we know it started in Europe. Europe has give the world many things. It’s why a lot of the world population want to live here. Better human rights, better living conditions, less racism, more structured civilisations. The countries the U.K. colonised are doing far better than their neighbours.
We gave the world many many things yet we get bashed all the time for it. I’m proud to be European and what this small continent has achieved.
Hey Andres, you recorded this map video that we talked about. Super cool!❤❤❤
Yay I was remembering that when the video was posted! 🤣🤣🤣
Having grown up in Australia, I am used to seeing world maps centered on Australia (or asia, anyway) my entire life. Maps that aren't centered that way just... look... wrong somehow.
hahaha same happen to my gf
Really impressive video! Well done Andres and DS team. Really appreciate this one 💯
Im very happy to hear it☺thanks!
Tienes mi brutal y tremendo like.
🤣
Hola Alma and Andres 😅
Gracias por este video, Andrés. It was so engaging that I (almost) forgot I was listening to it in Spanish.
😍😍😍
Your content is always engaging. Thanks for teaching us Spanish in such an interesting way!
Thanks!☺
Great video Andrés. Very interesting topic. I studied celestial navigation in university, so this topic of maps is very familiar to me. I learned a lot of Spanish from this video! (Andrea la Mexicana is still my favorite! I know, another 30 push ups for me!) - Dave
30 push ups more NOW!😝
Un video muy interesante y excelente. Espero que haya más en el futuro.
Great video! I'm glad I keep a globe around for a global perspective.
Amazing video from Andres! I love these engaging educational vids! Thank you!
☺ Thanks so much!
I really enjoy your videos. Clearly, you put a lot of work into them and it shows.
Tus videos siempre son atractivos y interesantes; incluso los que cuentan historias de cuando eras un niño travieso. Andrés Travieso Sevilla. Un saludo, Profe.
Me encanta este video. Muy interesante esta tema y la historia. También es un nivel para que yo puedo aprender sin dejar de entender. Bien hecho, Andres!
Thanks Andrés for the great video. Very interesting.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video. I’m from the US and we use the same Europe centric map as the one you had and cut up. I never knew there were upside down maps or Japan centric maps to be honest. Out of curiosity, I looked up if there was a US centric map and apparently there is. I have never seen it used here though. Personally I would never use the US centric map regularly because cutting Asia in half instead of the Pacific Ocean doesn’t make much sense to me, but I definitely see the flaws and issues with each map. I personally don’t feel like the Mercator map (or any other shown) is racist though. I think the makers did the best they could to turn a sphere into a flat map given the purpose of that map at the time and the likely perspective of the people it was intended for at the time of its creation.
Thanks for your comment! It's true, a map that cuts a land mass in two would also be uncomfortable for me😵💫. All the best!
Excelente video, una discusión estimulante. Gracias Andrés.
Me encanta mucho! Eso es un subjecto muy interesante Andrés! Gracías!
¡¡¡Gracias a ti!!!
Cool video!
Amazing video. Great illustrations, pronouncation and topic🙏
Me encanta este video, Andres, ¡gracias por una presentación muy interesante!
I loved the message you got to at the end of this video Andrés. I completely agree.
love this explanation!
🥰
Me gusta mucho tu contenido. Esto es un asunto con el que tengo algo de experiencia. Hay proyecciones que muestran las áreas de los países verdaderamente, pero no las direcciones, por ejemplo, la de Mollweide (búscalo), que creo ser muy hermosa. Mi favorita es la proyección gnomónica, en la que cada "circulo máximo", es decir, el rumbo el más corto entre dos puntas en la superficie del tierra, es un línea recta (pero no se puede ver abajo del ecuador). En cualquier caso, muchas gracias.
Gracias por este video! Muy interesante
Que vídeo tan entretenido.
Desafortunadamente, los vídeos avanzados todavía me resultan demasiado difíciles.
Andres' videos are really good.
thanks! =)
Such a great video!
lol I’ve seen people make this claim obviously didn’t pay attention in geography class. Mercador I was taught was bad for size and shape but good for navigation…
Mmmuuuuuuuyyyyyy buen video!!! Muchísimas Gracias, Andrés!!!
Love your videos. Here - take a brutal like from me.
thanks! I like you use "brutal" hahaha
Gracias, es interesante.
Gracias por este vídeo tan excelente y interesante!
Buen trabajo Andrés. Lo explicaste claramente. Realmente el mapa redondo es el más "puro"/sin racismo 😉.
Gracias. Y, sí, estoy de acuerdo... siempre hay que tratar de ver las cosas...de hecho, nosotros mismos, con una percepción más amplia.
Hasta la próxima
=)
great vid!
Actual dimensions of countries not considered. E.g., Africa is much bigger than represented in mainstream maps.
Also, didn’t mention Peters Projection, which shows uk s l most a speck, compared to Africa.
Mi mapa favorito es aquel en el que el mundo está al revés, con el Océano Atlántico en el centro y América del Sur cerca del centro y al "norte". Por cierto, soy de Brasil. 😅
This was great, more like this please!
Muy interesante. Gracias.
Super interesante!❤
😊
Tenia una novia (polola, por supuesto) en Chile tambien. Es un pais muy bonito. Me gusta Sevilla tambien en su pais.
Que capo que sos,que bien que me caes!!!!
😊 Gracias!
Deberías haber mostrado el mapa de Waterman o Mariposas. No hay un mapa que puede conservar tamaño, forma, y ángulos, pero es más cerca ;)
Genial! Amo el video.
Me di cuenta Algo interesante, k es no incluyes Mexico en su definición de Norte America. No pasa nada, es común. Detalle pequeño. Pero, porque? Es otro ejemplo de que lo que nos enseñan no es objetivo…. Curioso no?
El mejor video en Dreaming Spanish!
Hi Andrés, I really love your videos, but can you please remove the spider from the background? I have arachnephobia and it freaks me out. :(
Si mucho
Es una tontería decir que un mapa es racista, será inexacto.
genio andresssss❤
Genia tú!
Al ver el título del vídeo yo supe de que trataría e inmediatamente yo pensé que este es algo me imagino que Augustina haría.
Me sorprendió que el vídeo no mencionó un sitio web que encontré hace unos años llamado “The True Size.com”, donde puedes ver el tamaño verdadero de un país y puedes compáralo con otros.
top 10 DS vid for me
Gracias ❤
Well done.
Did Augustina edit this video? I feel like Augustina edited this video 😂
BRUTAAAAAL!
🤘😎
Europeans made the map and put northern Africa in the center, not Europe. It just seems to make sense. We all came from Africa and putting Africa in the center minimizes the Pacifico ocean by dividing it in half. Even with the admitted distortions, it just seems to be the most logical approach geographically.
👍
Como una mapa imperfecto, el título de este video distorsiona bastante el sujeto de este buen y educativo video. Qué información! Qué clickbait título!
😁
👏👏👏
Andrés, tú eres el tío ! y este es un tema interesante, aunque en lo que respecta al racismo, eso suena como algo que sería respaldado por el gobierno socialista de izquierda de España jjj. No te preocupes por eso tío porque las afirmaciones de racismo son, en el mejor de los casos, dudosas... si los africanos u otros fueron los grandes navegantes oceánicos y cartógrafos de la época... entonces podrían haber dibujado los mapas más ampliamente aceptados en el mundo y los europeos podrían haberse convertido en la clase de la víctima perpetua 😝👍🏽
Too many racers making maps is just wrong !!! 🏎🏎 Darn Racists!!🤔😑😬🙄🤷
Great video Andrew !! Keep it up Macho Man !
🤣 thanks!
They are not racist. Most overused word, “racist”
Maybe many things are just racist bro...have you considered that?
@@bert4999 Yes I’ve considered it and you’re way too sensitive. Maps aren’t racist bro.
@@YT-User1013 hopefully Dreaming Spanish makes a Super-beginner version of this video because clearly you did not learn anything from this Intermediate one LOL
@@bert4999like milk, countryside, ok sign?
@@user-bq2tc6dh6t idk, maybe maybe not. I'm just curious as to why questioning the racist origins of a particular thing infuriates you people? Maybe somethings people claim are racist are in reality not racist. Maybe they are! People are just asking questions fueled by their curiosity and recognition of atrocities of the past, but this is somehow bothersome for you all. Very interesting.....
i was just thinking today how i could use some more talk about racism... but maybe this time in spanish.
lol.. not.
