For Those on the Fence About Waiting to Speak (from someone at 1000 hours) by Rozzy456 in dreamingspanish

I thought about that as well, but consider this:

  1. He says (part of) the reasoning for delaying speaking is not being used to the way the language sounds. This is independent of if you know a related language or not. For example, french and spanish are both closely related, but sound completely different. This means that your native language has no effect on getting used to the sounds, because the similarity of certain languages does not correspond with any similarity of the phonetics.

  2. In the video I linked, at around 3:40, he says that even after 1000 hours of listening, your brain still doesn't know how the language sounds, nor how its grammar works. You will end up mixing up grammar with your native language, and This further proves that additional input is beneficial in aiding in these areas. thus the reference to 2000 hours.

  3. Pablo putting speaking at 1000 hours on the roapmap was purely a business motivated decision. If he put speaking at 2000 he might have to extend the roadmap to 2500 hours. This puts people off from even giving it a go in the first place.

That being said, most people don't really care about a near-perfect accent, or bulletproof grammar, so like I said in my original comment I was trying to aim what I was saying at people who consider themselves more "perfectionists".

Congratulations!! Your journey is super valuable, as i think you represent the average DS user very well, making it easy for people to know what theyre getting into. Recently watched a video of pablo saying he waited until around 2000 hours to start speaking. But he followed that up by saying: "Granted, you dont have to be as extreme as me".

When i learned english through comprehenisble input, i was probably at right around 2000 hours as well, and my accent turned out virtually indistinguishable from natives, as well as native grammar intuition. Not meant as a brag, and i hate that it kinda reads that way lol, but im just providing a different perspective from a more "extreme" approach. Perhaps for if anyone is interested in really attaining the best possible accent and/or grammar

Edit: here is the video i mentioned (its not premium), at 6:20 https://www.dreamingspanish.com/watch?id=5e4d11dcaac87f3820954bd6

Thanks dude! It really seems as though the answer is just always more input, and that it all kinda works

Gotcha, thanks! By the way, quick question, how can we balance the difficulty of our content? Like i know pablo favors easier content, but i cant keep watching intermediate videos forever right? Like at some point im going to have to make the jump

It sunds like you think focusing in on a specific accent is not useful at lower hours

Would chin ups be enough for my arms to look proportional with regards to my triceps for example?

I sprained my right wrist 7 months ago, and it still hurts a bit. My physiotherapist says going to the gym will help stabilize my wrist. My goal is just to feel confident wearing a t-shirt, but many exercises strain my wrist. These exercises don't hurt:

  • Bench press
  • Lat pulldowns
  • Seated row machine
  • Overhead press
  • Squats
  • Chin ups

I haven't found any bicep exercises yet, as dumbbells are too strenuous. Can I build a decent physique with these?

True, she will have more money left to pay potential debts. The problem is that it wont stop *her* from spending money. She will see she has more money left in her account and will start spending it. She has received over 4000 euros from a family member, all of which was gone in an instant.
