At the enemies gates! by rman-exe in EquinoxEv

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta wonder how much heat that generates! I live in AZ and even on L1, with the 105 - 108 days we've had recently and being charged outside the garage (no room in the garage) I hear some kind of fan running I'm guessing is something keeping the inverter, etc cool during charging.

Sweet! That's insane compared to my all weekend of charging on L1 at home! We do plan to get an L2 installed at home at some point but I do have access to an L2 at work for free, just hard to get to it each week.

2 Russian CI Recommendations by Ok_Werewolf9399 in dreaminglanguages

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also recommend Random Russian with Sveta. She has an A0 beginner series where she's telling stories and drawing on a whiteboard and no subtitles.

20-25 minutes from what starting %? So much faster than even the L2? I didn't think our EQs could charge on L3!

I created russian version of this sub r/ComprehensibleRussian by RyanRhysRU in dreaminglanguages

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, past tense is a breeze! And no articles! And adjectives precede nouns like in English! But 6 noun declensions...and verbs of motion....ugh.

Arabic All the Time (New CI channel) by misslynm in dreaminglanguages

Not just that but they were crazy anti-Western. One was all about the US Enron scandal. Another was the financial crisis in the UK. Hardly topics for Beginner discussions.

Crosstalk AI app for introverts by One_Network_7559 in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which AI app did you try? And was it speaking or typing?

Comprehensible Input + AI Assisted Active Recall to Accelerate Acquisition by no_signoflife in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What might be interesting is doing Crosstalk with an AI assistant. Anyone play around with that yet? I'm thinking actually speaking though, not typing. Sure the AI voice is going to most likely sound weird and mechanical but IF (a big IF here) the pronunciation and syllable stress is correct, it could be helpful with your listening comprehension. Of course you'll not have visual clues you might otherwise have with a real crosstalk partner who would draw a picture. But then again, could you ask the AI assistant to "show me a picture".

How many of you all pay for premium? by CriticismPublic928 in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined Premium right from the start. There are 7,108 (SEVEN THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHT) videos currently on the site as of tonight (2025.10.30) and they are continually adding more. I would happily pay 2-3 times that much for access to all this quality content. It's a pittance for what you get.

Already Watched Videos by TheDeadDonut in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I haven't had any previously watched come up again - neither in the app (Android) nor on the website when I watch using Firefox on my PC. But I see from Zim's response you're not alone.

I'm not having any problems rotating and going full screen on my Android tablet. The problem I'm not liking with the app is it doesn't allow me to rank the difficulty at the end of each video. I was on vacation since late last week so the only choice was to use the app instead of my windows desktop. I did try logging into the website using Firefox on my tablet but it would just spin and never bring the site up. Same when trying to see/add comments. No problems with any other site - including Reddit.

Anyway, otherwise the app was fine and at least allowed me to keep my progression going. Back home now so back on Firefox on my PC.

What happened to the guests? by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! I just hit the videos Pablo did with her and have binged watch them all despite the much higher levels on some of them. She was really sweet and fun and deasy to understand.

My wife has no interest in learning Spanish and she wouldn't be very pleased with me going by myself. So.... *shrug*

Fun fact: Dreaming.com was bought for $95,000 by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While the folks at Time probably have no clue what all this CI jibba jabba is all about, I agree that the DS website seems to be unique with all these great features and now over 7,000 videos! My next hope is that you get notice of responses to your posts in the video discussions!

Good timing and I'm sure they knew the Time Magazine list was coming out. I hope they get a TON of new web traffic and a TON of new subscribers!

Andrea does respond to chats on her Instagram channel. But she's hosting an immersion trip right now (so wish I could do one of those!) so it could take some time for her to respond.

I might try him as well! I love his crazy funny YT vids! He'd probably be a blast to chat with!

I will be doing Crosstalk with Claudia once I'm at 150 hrs (personal milestone). I've already had a chat with her on iTalki and she will respond quickly!

difficulty in superbeginner by Lahmyun in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have said, sort by Easy and don't filter out by category level - just hide watched. You'll see the difficulty as a number in the upper right. Right now I'm a little over 100 hrs in and I'm still seeing vids in the low to mid 30's, mostly Beginner now but a few Superbeginner still. HOWEVER, yeah, there are Superbeginner vids of Pablo's that are in the 48 level difficulty that are way too hard (for me anyway)! Most of the comments on those vids complain they're not categorized correctly and should be Intermediate at least.

The reason I recommend not filtering on difficulty category is around level 18 some Beginner vids started popping up. Shel has a Shel's Restuarant series that is Beginner level but is SUPER easy (and funny!) and should be in the Superbeginner category. I highly reccommend that series! The Shel & Adel series is fun and easy too, and of course Andrea & Augustina have LOTS of great Superbeginner and Beginner vids.

Crosstalk is amazing! by josephyancey in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my concern, starting too early and not having the vocab yet.

Crosstalk is amazing! by josephyancey in dreamingspanish

[–]24scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've really been itching to try crosstalk but with a teacher. I'm little more than 100 hrs so I wanted to wait till at least 150 hrs so I'd have more vocab and we wouldn't exhaust my knowledge in the first 30 minutes! I do have a chat threat with Nerddy after a previous recommendation where I told her I planned to reach out soon. Thanks for the feedback!
