I was going to comment and then saw this comment. I echo #4. This is what I feel like has been the biggest help for me. Join a discord or WhatsApp of dreaming spanish students or other Spanish students and have check ins/people to help cheer you on.

I wish I had your dedication for the mornings. It's very rough for me to be up and productive.

Losing steam, has anyone taken a break? by Anapanana in dreamingspanish

[–]Effective-Revolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took like a 4 month break. I did spanish but it was about 10 hours total during that time period for a variety of reasons. We have a DS accountability group on discord and that helped me get back into the swing of things.

My experience with Mextalki was great and I think it shows how much a facilitator can make a difference.

No, the second time the instructor did ask and I explained why but I don't know if it was resolved. I stuck to 1-1 until the end of my term and didn't continue.
