I have started using comprehensible input as my main source for learning Spanish. I am aiming for 2 hours per oer day of watching videos based around my level and slightly higher. I also bave two online tutors which I have 5 lessons a week between the 2 of them. Im happy with my progress, as I've only been learning for just over 2 months and have spoken to a few Spanish speakers online and we both understood each other
Really like your channel and the information you're providing. I'm glad UA-cam popped out your videos in my suggestions. I also enjoy your shorter videos for moments when I don't really feel like watching a >8 minutes one.
Thank you! Glad you like them. I prefer short videos myself so I'm working to make my own more and more concise (without being just a boring list of facts). Appreciate the feedback, thanks for checking out my channel
I realized that Spanish grammar is basically Shakespearian English grammar. Rome's influence over all Western grammar during their conquests is quite unifying. Understanding that made Spanish grammar make sense
The placement of indirect pronouns and verb conjugation were the most challenging. Also, listening the spanish in real conversation is hard as things start to blend together.
When I first learned Spanish, I had a lot of trouble with indirect and direct object pronouns, but now like you said it's almost automatic. I don't put much thought before I speak it. Same with the present subjunctive. I use it easily now when I have had to constantly worry about think about the triggers constantly before.
Similar to what I may have mentioned before in comments to your valuable lessons: This lesson is an example of a concept described in the classic self-help book, Psycho- cybernetics. The conscious mind (Freud called the ego) is what makes you want to learn Spanish and puts your head in the book to study Spanish. The subconscious mind (Psycho-cybernetics called the "creative mechanism,"" Freud the "Id", I think) does the heavy lifting of putting thoughts together. The expression "sleep on it" re figuring out a problem relates to this. You describe this in a very helpful way re learning a language. There's just too much going on for your conscious mind to handle it. You need the subconscious mind to get something really down.

Tienes completamente la razón!.

Good point! Sometimes when translate something literally from Spanish it does sound straight out of the 1500s
Dude that makes so much sense in retrospect thanks

you are so right, i am going over some beginners stuff and it is much more understandable.
hola .... estoy de acuerdo con tu🥰
Contigo*.
I wish there was more time in a day. I also want to learn Dutch and Sign language. I have way too many hobbies, haha 😅
Great advise. Thanks.
Thank you for this ❤

Great insight. It's cool to see what connections our brains can make with a bit of rest and space.
What's a concept in Spanish that was hard for you at first, but has since become automatic or very easy? How did you learn it?
Study less? I don’t think so. Study and practice is my reality.
