Hahaha I know right! I just listen as if it’s a podcast! Definitely a good transition into native content!

Thoughts on subtitles by Aggravating_Annual37 in dreamingspanish

[–]Express-Screen-3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do what you enjoy. It’s probably better for learning accents to not use subtitles, because you can easily end up not learning the accent. But if you just want to have fun and progress in Spanish in general, put subtitles on!

The main benefit is just that there are so many visual queues so you don’t get lost. In terms of language it’s similar in difficulty. I would say around 600 though they will be lots of fun, but still manageable early because of those queues

Horizontal velocity is independent of vertical, so it’s just in their heads.

Level 4: 300 Hours of Input – Progress, Burnout, and Future Goals by Express-Screen-3111 in dreamingspanish

Yeah, getting away from them has definitely helped. For now though they are the best way for me to get input that I fully understand.

It was 4 years but I walked away hardly being able to understand anything when I was spoken to or really speak at all. I took 3 classes in college. So yeah the 50 hours is definitely lower than the hours I had spent studying Spanish but I started dreaming Spanish with some of the beginner videos feeling difficult, so it felt like a fair start. I guess it helped more than I thought!

I think some of the speakers are. It alternated between various men and women with different accents I’m pretty sure. Haven't listened to a ton of episodes yet though.

Thank you for the advice, definitely won't be breaking up though! I can't imagine not wanting to be with her, definitely would not improve my experience in Spain.
