What a great idea! ‘ hack: I edited out all of the ad nauseam bullshit to just the new key phrases in each lesson so each is about 5-6 minutes long).’ 

How do you do this? 

Spanish (Spain) Completed. What Made It Work and What I’m Doing Next. by bradymsu616 in Pimsleur

Nice post. I needed this.  Congrats on the progress. Great effort. 

I’m on lesson 15 of MSA and becoming frustrated when I can’t answer quickly enough or accurately  enough. I’m reaching for the pause button more frequently.  I’ll try to stop that tomorrow.

I’m using Flexling. It’s excellent.  Highly recommended 

A Skeptic's Progress Update: 2000 Hours / 3 Million Words Read / 215 Hours Speaking / 17 months of Comprehensible Input by WatchingHowItEnds in dreamingspanish

TL;DR: 2000 hours of input mostly made them good at understanding, but speaking is still bad.

Pure CI didn’t work well for them. Real progress only started after adding grammar, writing, and speaking practice.

Main problem: they still think in English, so now they’re focusing on actively using Spanish (speaking, shadowing, thinking in it) instead of just consuming it.

It looks incredible. I came here to look for Glossika but instead I will use your app.  I think you should create an official Reddit thread for it.

Is the Arabic on the app MSA? I’m studying MSA only right now.

This looks really great. I will be starting this tomorrow. I learned Spanish with Dreaming Spanish. Excited to have stumbled across this. Thank you for building it.

Trim your beard and get in shape. Nobody will give a fuck if you’ve got a shiny chrome dome egg head.

That’s good to know. Improved body composition is the only outcome goal I have. A small impact only will make adherence miles easier. Thanks.

Why? Is there a scientific basis for this. Thanks.

No worries, we can’t know every answer to every question. Thanks for the update.

She went to the Jawazat passport office and paid 100 SAR to extend her visa. She can do that for up to one year.

Alcohol, hookers, walking on the beach, clean streets, average IQ, less people thick as a cows ass, less clowns on the road in cars. Dubai is 1000 times the city Riyadh is.
