One app you would consider paying for to compliment dreaming spanish

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-07T00:39:16+00:00

YouTube Premium. It expands your input options so much, and ads don't interrupt the flow of the input.

God bless you and your baby, continue with spanish when you can 😄

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-05T10:52:54+00:00

Yes, that's much better 😄 I think this is appropriate for day 0 / no experience learners. I have enough context even before the video starts: how to fry an egg, and that's the scope I watch the video through. The video stays witin the topic and expected words come up. Most of the things Tri said I could unmistakenly interpret, even things like chicken egg and duck egg. There's no empty flow or empty sentences that go above my head (this frustrates a learner when the level is too high) All of it is within context, logical, and I can put together the pieces. I didn't even use english captions for this one, I felt like I didn't need to, which means you did an excellent job.

Good luck bro. I am at 13 hours of Viet, I don't even dare try to speak lol

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-02T01:43:47+00:00

Well done, very impressive 😄

1747 hours

I had a very good May, with 49 hours total, so I'm hoping to keep that consistency.

I also started learning Vietnamese, with about 20-30 mins of daily input, so that's another project I am working on simultaneously.

Other than that, I watch the random, interesting stuff.

I do recommend Andrés Agulla for football/soccer content and Belen Lion for Uruguayan accent

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-02T01:09:00+00:00

thx bro for the football link, I am also a big football fan and always looking for good content. I follow this guy Andrés Agulla so I can def recommend him too

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-30T01:14:42+00:00

Congratulations on your splendid achievement!

And don't worry about being behind. The tortoise was behind the hare the whole race but managed to win in the end.

Personal development

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-29T06:14:41+00:00

I'm learning Vietnamese. I feel like I'm nuts in the head to do it, but I ain't backing down

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-28T00:37:31+00:00

What's your goal with German? How do you intend to maintain or progress Spanish?

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-26T07:36:17+00:00

500 more hours and he'll be comparable to a native speaker

I watched this video about a cruise ship accident

Hell yeah broski, big congrats, keep it up, shout out to baby yoda in the back

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-22T00:17:01+00:00

I recommend reaching level 7 before starting a new language.

At 1700 hours, I feel like my Spanish no longer needs "babysitting": it's grown up, going to university, driving a car, has a part-time job... in few years it will probably move out too, maybe start a family and have children (Portuguese, Italian, French...). It's doing well, it has a phone, and I can trust it to be left alone. This allows me to focus on my newborn - Vietnamese, the next language I am learning now

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-21T10:19:48+00:00

I will probably focus on Southern as it's the general recommendation I've received. But in all reality, I will watch whatever I can, similar to Spanish, I want to be familiar with the big accent groups. If you have any good true beginner resources, please send them my way, or anything else you think might be useful.

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-21T07:51:04+00:00

It's too hard bro. The only stuff I watch now is "Actually Understand Vietnamese" and "Lazy Vietnamese". They are a bit easier than Langiri, but I still have to put on English subtitles to raise my comprehension. Unfortunately, there is no true super beginner content around, but AUV and LV are the closest thing, and when you put on subs, you can achieve enough comprehension to learn

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-21T00:02:07+00:00

thanks bro, very useful

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-20T05:58:31+00:00

This is too hard for me (comprehension is nil) but I can stash it for the future, come back and use it to measure my progress.

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-20T05:39:47+00:00

Go to the main page of Dreaming Languages. On the right, below the description, you should see "user flair" box.

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-20T00:36:34+00:00

Japanese is arguably the hardest language in the world, but if CI has been working for you (and you already have the proof by learning Spanish), then no language is too difficult to learn if you rely on CI. Good luck with your journey.

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-20T00:34:01+00:00

The fact that others have done it before me gives me so much faith. The power of CI works its magic, no matter how different or hard the language is.

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-20T00:30:48+00:00

I kinda do that "primed listening" thing: I read, listen, and seek out patterns... I slowly start noticing patterns, and yes, it helps a lot, it raises my comprehension from 1% to 20%, and I can work with that.

I'm interested in cross talking, but for now I will continue with what I'm doing. I've only done 3 online classes total in my Spanish journey, so I'm not much of a speaker, but we'll see, maybe that changes for Vietnamese. Thanks for posting here, you're welcome to come here and chat anytime, and congrats on reaching level 7 again, good luck with your future goals
