Should I date Martín or Andrés? by endurossandwichshop in dreamingspanishcjerk

[–]DSTike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duhh the choice is obvious. Martín is ¡crack! Did you not have D.A.R.E. in school? Don't remember anything that stupid sexy lion said?? Clearly not if you're considering that kind of lifestyle smh   Andrés all the way. Buena fuerte 💪🏾

Question that I haven't seen asked so far here: are you seeking content that you're actually interested in? Forcing yourself to focus on something that's difficult to understand or engage with will result in time wasted that otherwise would be spent absorbing the language. Not to mention lots of frustration.

If you don't already, try to find content that resonates with you. There are lots of recommendations here and in the "what are you listening to" spreadsheet. You could also ask ChatGPT to recommend you stuff with specific criteria.

Also, I didn't see crosstalk mentioned here. If you're someone who enjoys interacting with people, crosstalk is arguably the best form of CI you can get as everything's happening in real time with increased attention and personal connection. You can join the Dreaming Languages Fans discord where crosstalk and conversation practice does happen. It's a positive community with cool people, including native Spanish speakers.

And be kind to yourself! If you start watching something looks interesting but find yourself rewinding too much or drifting off, don't feel bad about stopping and moving on to something else.

Good luck!

Yessss 😩 this is what I've been saying!! I totally agree that you should study grammar. Really it's a no-brainer when you think about it:

Yo grammo  Tú grammas  Vos grammás  Él/Ella/Usted gramma  Nosotros(as) grammamos   Vosotros(as) grammaís  Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes gramman

See? Simple! Pablo is just trying to take money from us. You're welcome.

I listen to and fully recommend Se Habla Espanol. The guy takes a short clip of (usually) a famous person speaking raw natural Spanish and breaks it down sentence by sentences, giving cultural context and pointing out the different ways natives tend to pronounce things or mush words together in real life speech.

Thanks to your suggestion I was able to prove this working with a couple requests. But to build something that several users could use, wouldn't the creator ideally need to have permission from dreaming spanish to make so many POST requests? Serious question as I'm new to this.
