Thanks so much for watching today's video 😎- Sorry for the long intro but I wanted to explain the format of the day's exercise. In the future that won't be necessary. The comprehension practice begins at 7:24 just incase you come back and want to jump straight to there. Also, don't forget to check out our free "3 Secrets To Learn Spanish Faster" training so you can rapidly improve your speaking and comprehension ability: speakspanishfaster.com/youtube
Please do NOT apologize for BLESSING US with today's video. The intro was perfectly fine & necessary so we could understand the purpose of the exercises to come. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU!
This was a big home run - the way you organized it, showing the English (not just español), doing it 3 times and using useful situations. You are way ahead of everyone else with this format. Many, many more please !!! Thank you.
The method works. Also, thank you for using people with different accents. It really helps with comprehension and forces you to make your ear... flexible if that makes sense. Keep these up!!
I said it before,& I'll say it again: you put me at ease with your explanational tone,manner,& ability to converse.i find this hard( the listening in Spanish),but I find it fun at the same time because I know if keep applying myself,I will eventually grasp it,& I'm 59 years old! Gracias,Rocky!
this was really helpful. it can be really helpful to see the transcript first, like you did, and then get rid of it so that you know what to listen for. I hope you do more like this!
Just wanted to say I am extremely grateful for this method. I learned proper spanish all throughout high school , what others told me is catallana. So hearing a few videos with this method has helped me to be able to visualize the words better while hearing the spanish most people speak! Thank you SO much !!!!!
I’m so proud of myself that I understood this at all speeds with my eyes close. I’m on level B2 Spanish but the problem I’m facing most is actually speaking. I have no one to practice with so unless I talk to myself I can’t really practice speaking Spanish. I can understand if it’s being spoken to me though, but again that depends on where the person is from. Caribbean Spanish is still like another language when I listen 😂 Thank you for this video Rocky ❤️
Check out Tandem, my friend. It is a nice place to connect with people who are serious about language exchange and has some cool features. I’ve had good luck so far, I hope you will as well.
I love this way of improving my listening comprehension! I have no problem with Spanish speakers understanding me but have a huge problem understanding their responses. So frustrating! You've done an excellent job. Congratulations and many thanks!
I like this hyper-speed technique! It works as promised, making normal speech seem slow by comparison. I often adjust the speed slower the first time I listen to Spanish dialogue on UA-cam or audiobooks in Spanish so I can focus on the words, their construction, and their meaning. Once I have the meaning figured out, I'll return the speed to normal, or, maybe now, to hyper-speed and then back to normal! Great tip!
This is literally THE most helpful thing. Keep it up, your videos are helping me so much! I leave for Mexico in 5 weeks so I’ve been brushing up on my Spanish. I appreciate your videos!!
Please more of these. The third time around felt so slow, like you slowed it down from the first time but it was normal speed. That’s how I know this really worked. I’m going to try this with other audio. Thanks!
This is the best conversation improvement video/technique I have found by far over 2 years of searching. Please make lots and lots more. Muchisimo gracias. Hussein
There were a couple of other Spanish language channels that I felt were the end all and be all. However, I feel that this channel offers content from more angles. Keep up the good work!
this video is so real and glad i found it. cause again dont know where to go for listening comprehesion but glad i found this just to start in addition to what my spanish teacher tells me
Thank you. I love this way of doing it. I live in Puerto Rico, and very appreciate you using your "own" accent, as it really helps me with my comprehension. Please use, as much as you think you can, your "own" accent, as I realize the more middle of the road accent you use is also yours, I just strongly prefer your Dominican/Puerto Rican/Carribean accent.
I loved this. I was skeptical if it would work on me because I've been having issues with comprehension for so long, but the hyper speed training actually works a lot better than I anticipated. Thanks so much!
I really enjoyed this video.Please do more videos like this.The hyper speed version is an amazing idea.I was able to understand the conversation in hyper speed and like you stated when the conversation resumed in normal speed it did sound slower.Looking foward to more videos like this.
I ❤️LOVED❤️ today's VIDEO!!! I was worried that I would be overwhelmed when it came to the hyperspeed portion but I WASN'T and instead ended up feeling ENCOURAGED because I COULD still understand a LOT that was being said! 😁 I'm at work and didn't look at the translations but I look forward to listening to this again at home and writing down any words I don't yet know so I can continue to increase my Spanish vocabulary. thank you! Thank You!! THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU!!!
i know this is a 4 year old video but i just want to let you know that this video is so benefical for me, i am in my first year of university and the format in which you've set this up is perfect for me to try and train my brain for my listening exam. Muchas Gracias!
I have been only listening to Spanish since January and this week I am beginning to try and speak. FYI, I was also slowing your video down so I could pronounce the words correctly. So not only was I getting quality input, these type of videos will help with my output! I am definitely returning to this content - gracias!
I’m so glad I found this. Your method seems to work for me or at least seems really rewarding. After hearing the sped up version my brain easily latched onto and comprehended almost everything in the normal speed listening part after that. Thank you!
Spanish rap music was a great suggestion. In the book the loom of language it states that some languages are discreet, that is defined as separated into it's component parts; such is ingles. Each word is spoken separately but spanish is indiscreet the words are spoken together. Until I understood the difference between discreet and indiscreet I hard difficulty learning Spanish.
I'm glad you played it over 3 times. Even though I always scrolled down so I couldn't see the captions and instead just went back 5 seconds if I didn't understand something till I did, I still missed things the first time, such as when the lady at the gym was talking about times she said "de la tarde" to explain that it was in the pm.
I just ran across this. I have been struggling to understand the fast pace of my friends. This was great and I fully understood it after listening to the fast pace and then the normal pace with no subtitles. Thank you!
I greatly appreciate how you structures this segment and thanks for the Steph Curry analogy. I believe my biggest challenge is my audio comprehension, so I think videos like this help tremendously!
When I practice listening in Spanish, I set the speed to 2X. I focus on listening to the words, not necessarily caring about understanding what is said. If I can hear Spanish words at hyperspeed, normal speed sounds nice and slow. I can finish a 1-hr audio in 30 minutes, getting the same amount of content in half the time. Doing this at work, you could finish 2 6-hour audiobooks in 6 hours. In my opinion, forget about understanding the content, but focus on hearing the Spanish words. Once your vocabulary improves, when you set the speed to normal, you will see a huge difference in being able to follow without translating what is said in your head.
@@hellogoodbye4402 it might. The goal is to focus on seeing if you can hear words instead of a blended mess when you start listening to the language at normal speed UA-cam also allows you to speed up videos. You can do this with interviews as well. Audiobooks are more formal and tries to annunciate each word. Interviews with musicians talking about pop culture or addressing rumors will talk with slang and tend to blend their words more.
Very helpful exercise, one of the better listening comprehension videos I’ve seen here on UA-cam. Incorporating the Hyper Speed Method in my studies now. Gracias, Rocky !
The method helps. One of my biggest issues is hearing each word separately. The other is vocabulary which I'm working on. Sometimes I get stuck trying to figure out what I just heard and I get left behind 😂.
just subscribed after watching this. great video. i loved the hyper listening and the slower listening without the subtitles, very good. more of this kind of thing for me please!!! thanks again
It would help to see you yourself go out in to a Spanish speaking community and give us some situations were native dialects will be used. Thank you - Fry S.
I really enjoyed this lesson bro! You are right about the listening to the hyper speed. Then listening to it again in regular speed was like slow mo. Definitely do more lesson like this please! Thanks
loved this conversation, Im getting ready to go to spain and im nervous because my oral comprehension is not as good as my reading and writing. these are helpful! keep doing them !
Mil gracias por hacer estos videos. Los uso a veces en mis clases de español, especialmente ahora que ellos solo vienen a la escuela 2 días cada semana. Es buena manera de ofrecerles apoyo y yo no tengo que crear todo. Gracias de una profesora agotada :)
I like the concept, however I found myself hitting repeat on the 1st conversation. I’d like to suggest making this content session exactly how you have translated text. ( just beginner speed- only, advanced speed next, then hyper speed for fluent users ) section your content. It’s really good!! I’m trying to take this whole video in, and overwhelming myself 😫
Nothing quite like this on UA-cam. So innovative and well done. I have subscribed and liked this video. Please let me know how I can continue to support in any way because I do not want this channel to go anywhere. Excellent! Gracias.
Rocky-Thanks for posting these specifically, and all of the videos that you put so much effort into! I have been reviewing the Comprehension based lessons specifically. Have you or anyone else on here listened to the “Puestos Pa’L Problema” podcast from Puerto Rico?? I have a very difficult time understanding so much of what they say. I do not know how to obtain transcripts either. Frustrating after feeling as though I have improved and then experiencing that!😬 Regardless, I love this channel! I have been to PR twice now. My wife was born there.

Edward that's AWESOME TO HEAR! Thanks so much for the kind words. I will keep these types of videos coming.

I would recommend Spanish speaking discords or trying Omegle’s
It’s reversed for me

No problem Nicolas, we will bring more for you :)
This is literally THE most helpful thing. Keep it up, your videos are helping me so much! I leave for Mexico in 5 weeks so I’ve been brushing up on my Spanish. I appreciate your videos!!
Hey Taylor, glad you find them helpful! What part of Mexico will you be visiting?
@@SpeakSpanishFaster of course! Ensenada in the Baja California area!

Thanks so much for watching my friend, will do!
Omg. This technique is everything. And for free? Thank you. Listening is my hardest obstacle with Spanish.
You're so welcome so happy it was helpful!
There were a couple of other Spanish language channels that I felt were the end all and be all. However, I feel that this channel offers content from more angles. Keep up the good work!
I use the same hyper speed technique for drums.. when I go back to regular tempo, it's easy.. awesome concept!
That's awesome Scott. Thanks so much for the feedback!
Start 07:19
Your channel has taught me Spanish faster than 3 years of public school courses!
Thank you so much, I have been struggling with learning Spanish and this method is awesome.
Thanks. I'm learning Spanish in school also but I like learning outside of school
this video is so real and glad i found it. cause again dont know where to go for listening comprehesion but glad i found this just to start in addition to what my spanish teacher tells me
I just started learning Spanish I’m so glad I found your channel!! Gracias, maestro de español 😎😎

jaja thanks so much I'm figuring out most people like that more anyway so I will keep doing it :)
I loved this. I was skeptical if it would work on me because I've been having issues with comprehension for so long, but the hyper speed training actually works a lot better than I anticipated. Thanks so much!
This method is genius! Took me way forward about 3 levels. And that's after only one lesson.

I think the hyper speed exercise is great. Even for those such as me, who are in the beginning stages of Spanish learning. Muchas Gracias.
The introduction gave me anxiety 😂 it's half the video bro!
Rocky I'm a student of yours and this training is awesome I definitely love this . More training like this would be awsome!!!!!!!

Yes, this method would definitely work for. It trains your ears above the speed of conversation so anything slower feels easy.
Absolutely! That's the beauty!

As soon as I pass all of my CPA exams (I'm hoping by summer) I'm going to get your course. The methods you use are the most helpful to me!
Great to hear! Keep grinding!
this was great!! please do more of these... it sound like slow motion after that hyperspeed... very helpful!!! thank you brother
me gusta este método para mejorar la escucha! gracias por este video

Wow after listening to it a few times. Even when the Spanish was spoken faster, I was still able to understand it. Very nice video
Thank you so much for this video, it’s really helpful and it also sheds much light on the hearing and comprehending Spanish! How much did I missed!
Wow Rocky... Thank you so much for this new learning method. I am Irene from London England and i love learning spanish with you.
Really liked this. Great idea about closing your eyes to listen for the audio only section!
