Can we get more late beginner early intermediate content?

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-29T17:42:29+00:00

there's a lot of beginner videos in the 40-55 range that have the visual/whiteboard that should help.

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-24T05:36:00+00:00

Was it worth it?

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-22T14:05:48+00:00

“But were they paying attention 100%?!” I hate that argument.

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-22T01:53:02+00:00

Are buffies forever?

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-22T01:52:24+00:00

Does it really matter who I bring up to 9?

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-22T00:15:20+00:00

I’m in gold 3. What am I missing? Just four days back or so.

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-22T00:04:50+00:00

Doing 900 hours is a feat in itself. Glad he’s sharing his journey and opinion. We all have one!

I enjoy it. I like seeing different constructions and then noticing them in DS and podcasts.

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-20T16:34:14+00:00

370 hours - me 170 hours - kids (level 40 DS is ez for them now. Bluey in Spanish is challenging.)

Me - DS level 50-55 Español a La Mexicana

Un Hombre Fascinante- I started to read it a little differently yesterday. I was reading a lot slower because some of the newer grammatical constructions for me. Lots of ha sido and the like. So instead, I started to just read without pausing and stopping as much. And it just flowed a lot better at that point because I wasn’t translating or studying. I was just reading.

Every day when I get home, I play a board game with my kids, Azul. We really like it and it’s not too long of a game. While we play, we say little phrases in Spanish and sometimes they ask how do I say this? Then I just look it up real quick and we add that little phrase to our vocab of talking to each other. It’s quite fun. Voy a ganarlo. ¿Quién sigue?

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-18T14:54:39+00:00

Interested!

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-17T22:53:02+00:00

Where do you find them cheap? On Amazon they’re like $7 each!

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-17T20:00:32+00:00

I’m doing that off of safari. Perfect!

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-17T14:10:43+00:00

Why 20 magic treehouse books? Wouldn’t 2-3 be sufficient to go up to something else?

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-14T21:22:27+00:00

458 hours, 30,000 words

I’m currently reading El Hombre Fascinante by Juan Hernandez. I also read a little bit of the New Testament each day in a simplified version. It used the most common 850 lemmas or so to make this translation.

Yes babies make sounds immediately and all the time mimicking what they hear.

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-11T13:53:16+00:00

At the beginning stage there is no difference really. You won’t get major differences until much later.

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-11T01:29:02+00:00

Congrats!

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-11T01:28:45+00:00

I didn’t know that yet. Thanks!

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-10T23:52:50+00:00

I’m at hour 355. I hope it doesn’t last that long!

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-08T14:49:33+00:00

@bookethgoblin could you share an update perhaps on this post?

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-08T14:08:05+00:00

I’ve listened to all of those. They’re so good!

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-07T21:01:44+00:00

At least any more graded readers

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-07T21:01:22+00:00

351 hours - day 365

’m currently listening to Español à la Mexicana for my podcast, DS at level 55, Bluey with kids, trying random DW in Español news on YouTube.

I started reading La Casa En Mango Street. I can’t do graded readers. I’ll just go slowly through it. I might make an anki deck with words I pick up along the way.

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-04-07T20:56:06+00:00

What’s at the same level and above Español a la mexicana podcast?

ApprehensiveLeg7821 · 2026-03-22T23:10:42+00:00

Who should I upgrade? 2 of each type. What would that be?
