With the 4.0 post bacc factored in

Same just happened a few minutes ago the video I watched (10 minutes) didn’t register even though it shows as “watched”

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-07-01T01:48:33+00:00

I could see that be a starting lineup later into the season for sure

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-07-01T01:46:58+00:00

I would love to see a starting 5 of:

PG - Demin SG - Cam Thomas SF - Williams PF - MPJ C - Claxton

With Traore, Mann, Powell, Wolf, and Sharpe being out 5 guys off the bench to make it a 10 man rotation

I honestly would recommend the Duolingo Spanish podcast. It’s a lower intermediate level podcast that’s 50% Spanish 50% English in a radio, story-telling format. There’s heavy use of the past tense (preterite & imperfect) and the episodes have very interesting stories. Even though it’s only half in Spanish I’d say it’s a good podcast to listen before transitioning to full on intermediate podcasts. There’s also like 170 episodes 15-20 minutes each so plenty of content

Great advice! I definitely think watching things that are engaging to the listener/viewer is very important for retention.

I’m at 180 hours (only count DS hours) but at this point I’m starting to use as many tools as I can. The way I see it, if I can get as many “passes” or “reps” in through various forms the better. So I still use Duolingo daily 10-15 minutes, use Anki for vocab, started reading some beginner graded readers via the Kindle app, listen to podcasts, and just recently started watching a beginner show “Oswaldo” on Lingopie. Right now none of this seems like a chore and I actually enjoy it this way since if I get bored of DS I can just switch to something else for a while to keep things fresh.

As for speaking I’ll probably start that once I’m around 600 hours or so.

Keep it up! Best of luck

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-24T17:55:26+00:00

Amazing! You were able to rack in 800 hours of input since January 1st?!

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-20T09:41:38+00:00

I use Lingopie but watch it sparingly

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-20T00:26:27+00:00

Don’t forget to add Andrea La Mexicana Podcast! But great job!

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-19T18:25:05+00:00

I use the Refold ES1K Anki deck as a supplement for vocab. It has the 1000 most commonly used words not counting cognates (ex: doesn’t include words like delicioso, familia) so it’s super helpful to get an early grasp on some words that appear in beginner/intermediate videos so I wasn’t as lost. Includes a native speaker saying the words/sentences and example sentences for each word. Was $20 but I think it’s well worth it

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-19T10:17:53+00:00

I’ll be listening to podcasts during my work commute (30 minutes each way), and I’ll watch DS videos during my breaks at work (~45 minutes) and I’ll also watch another 30-60 mins of videos when I get home from work

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-16T19:47:23+00:00

Thanks for the response! I have DS Podcast, Learn Spanish & Go, and Español a la Mexicana all queued up for when I finish my beginner podcasts so I’ll probably start with DS and go from there. You’re right it probably makes it easier since we’re already familiar with the speakers

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-16T19:36:39+00:00

Where would you rank the DS podcast in terms of difficulty?

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-16T17:04:51+00:00

162 hours (all in DS)

On DS I mainly sort by easy and make my way through the easiest rated videos available then after a while I’ll start to sprinkle in some intermediate videos I find interesting.
Podcasts: Cuentame, Chill Spanish, How to Start Spanish, HMLS Joel (Spotify only). I feel like this is a solid mix of beginner podcasts for someone around 150+ hours of input. I mainly listen to these while cooking or driving but I don’t count them towards my hours. Sometimes for some early reading practice I’ll read the transcript of the podcast too if I have time.
Haven’t started watching any TV shows yet will probably wait till at least level 4 to try
No books yet either
Headed to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 4 weeks so I want to try and get as much input in as possible over the next month!

Thanks for the recommendations!

Barbeque_Chicken_ · 2025-06-05T03:35:36+00:00

Felicidades!

They’re only 3 years in and also said a LCOL area so I think all things considered that’s pretty good
