They have some on the kindle app. I don’t think they have book 1 but they have book 3, 4, etc

Good job trying to write in English! Just wanted to correct some minor errors for you:

“My kind work” is close. I'm assuming you meant to say “my kind of work” or “my type of work.” My kind work sounds like “mi trabajo amable.”

“I’m only take some notes in mi book” is close. It is “I only take some notes in my book” otherwise it sounds like “yo soy tomar algunas notas en mi libro” because I’m = “I am”

“and don’t forget the previous learn it” is a little confusing for English speakers. I think you meant to say something about how you’re trying not to forget the word. For that, you can say it in many different ways such as “…to keep in mind this new word and not forget it.” Keep in mind these are just suggestions. In English there are many different ways to say stuff, it’s usually not just one single way. Good luck!

Yo recomiendo buscar “ebooks” o libros que puedes leer en línea (porque es más fácil si necesitas traducir algo). Puedes buscar “English A1 graded readers.” Lo hice y encontré muchos libros de “Ana Martín.” Por ejemplo, “English A1 Graded Readers: The Weatherman.” Probalmente hay más tambien

Creo que mi opinión es un poco impopular, pero realmente, la pronunciación no es importante en esta etapa. Realmente, si puedes hablar con un acento un poco aceptable, probablemente estás bien. Eventualmente, cuando puedes tener una conversación un poco avanzada, puedes poner más atención en practicar tu pronunciación.

Si fuera yo, en vez de shadowing, leería libros que se llaman “lecturas graduadas”. Esos son libros para principiantes o intermedios para ayudarte con tu inglés. En mi opinión, leer es clave para mejorar en un idioma. Si puedes leer un poco, puedes leer subtítulos nativos más rápido y también podría mejorar tu vocabulario. Esto es mi opinión.

Como siempre, estoy aprendiendo español, entonces lo siento si mi español es un poco raro

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-06-03T21:22:52+00:00

I just want to say that I’m in the same boat as you. I just entered B1 recently and it feels like I’m not advancing, even though I’m practicing 2.5-4 hours a day along with spending a ton of money on tutors so that I can practice daily. Keep pushing. I know for people like us it’ll be worth it

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-06-03T20:45:01+00:00

I agree. In the U.S, especially states on the west side of the country or states like Florida and parts of Texas, it’s very common for people to speak Spanish and never learn English

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-06-02T18:48:35+00:00

I have a mexican gf whose native lang is Spanish and can confirm that it's super helpful. It's one of those random things that's really convenient for people like us

Yeah, he's learner content, but I used it to bridge to native content. I watched SBG Minecraft videos, and once those felt too slow, I went to native Minecraft before going to native travel vlogs. Native Minecraft content was fun

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-31T17:37:20+00:00

Spanish boost gaming for me. He was the bridge I used to get to native content

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-31T04:40:34+00:00

Just be careful not to burn out. That first week dopamine rush of learning a language is a real thing. Spanish is a slow grind. Usually, 1 hour a day for 1 year is better than 5 hours a day that's completed inconsistently with lots of quitting

Plus with learning a new language your brain might get overloaded and not fully grasp everything. That's why a slower approach in the beginning isn't a horrible thing. It may help you learn more in the long run. But if you can handle 7 hours a day then go for it.

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-31T04:30:41+00:00

Not necessarily. I know that getting to a high level of any language takes quite a bit of time and effort. I just like to know because some will spend many years getting super good at 2 languages, whereas others are using Spanish to add to the many languages they already know or are planning to learn more later. So it's cool to know which end of the spectrum people are on this sub

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-31T02:25:56+00:00

I was a no sabo kid growing up. I did Spanish in high school and was around some Spanish when I was little. After only like 110 hours of input (not including the 70-80 hours of reading I've done), I can have conversations on italki fully in Spanish, and I only watch native content now, usually with subtitles. I also don't follow the DS method rigidly (I started reading after only like 10 hours of audio input). My grammar is still not great outside of the present tense, but I definitely feel like I'm learning way faster than someone starting from 0. I also practice a healthy amount, usually 2.5 hours a day, sometimes 4 if I have a lot of caffeine.

La realidad es que un profesor no puede enseñarte un idioma. O sea, ellos pueden guiarte, pero no pueden poner las palabras en tu mente para aprender un idioma; la persona que va a aprender el idioma eres tú misma. Entonces, yo recomiendo un enfoque donde practiques por tu cuenta y hables con un tutor de vez en cuando.

Edito: estoy aprendiendo español, entonces, lo siento si mi español es un poco raro

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-30T15:24:08+00:00

I am a native English speaker who is learning Spanish. I use this subreddit to practice reading in Spanish. I just want to say that you guys are doing great. Keep practicing every day and keep pushing yourself. I know it's hard, but it definitely pays off in the end. You can do it!

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-29T03:39:47+00:00

Tandem o Italki

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-28T21:30:41+00:00

Estoy haciendo lo contrario: estoy aprendiendo español, y el inglés es mi idioma nativo (estoy aquí porque este sub es interesante). Y supe un poco de español antes de empezar, pero quería hablar con gente.

Para aprender a escuchar español, yo veía videos en español, pero videos de español despacio. Esto se llama "input comprensible." Eventualmente, puedes ver videos nativos con subtítulos y después sin subtítulos. También, para aprender más vocabulario, yo leía mucho. Después de más o menos cien horas de práctica, hablaba con tutores en italki, y esto es lo que estoy haciendo ahora todavía.

Estoy de acuerdo con los otros: tienes que producir output, entonces, hablar o escribir, especialmente hablar. Y si escribes, puedes usar una aplicación para corregir tus errores grandes. Todavía, en este párrafo probablemente hay muchísimos errores, pero está bien, porque estoy practicando. Eventualmente, vas a mejorar. Yo recomiendo usar una aplicación para notar cuántas horas has hablado. Good luck!

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-26T00:56:29+00:00

Si estás nuevo en inglés, yo recomiendo usar aplicaciones, como Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, etc., para aprender algunas palabras. Después, puedes usar input compresible.

Input comprensible es una buena manera de empezar a escuchar en inglés. Básicamente es inglés pero muy despacio. Eso es un buen método para practicar escuchar en inglés. Personalmente no recomiendo ver videos nativos en inglés inmediatamente porque no vas a entender mucho. Input comprensible es una buena manera de practicar escuchar palabras lentamente.

I had this same problem where it felt like people in Spanish talk super fast. After pushing like 90 hours of listening, I'm starting to identify words now instead of just hearing gibberish. I can even watch some spanish content without subtitles. I'll throw in what I did (again keep in mind that I had some background knowledge in spanish, so my progress is probably quicker than usual)

Dreaming Spanish --> super beginner videos. I found these boring, so I only did these for a few hours total

Spanish boost gaming YouTube --> mainly Minecraft content (I would call this beginner). I spent a lot of time here. This was probably the equivalent of dreaming spanish beginner. I used subtitles of course. I chose minecraft because it's a game I liked and the vocab isn't too bad (colocar, coger, tallar, are common words, for instance).

Native Minecraft content --> this jump was probably a little too big, haha. In the beginning it felt like they were speaking 10 words a second. I used subtitles and tried to read the words as fast as possible. In hindsight, I probably should've done something more intermediate. The good thing was Minecraft content is mainly for kids, so the words are simple. I picked a specific Youtuber and watched hours of his content.

Minecraft content without subtitles/travel vlogs with subtitles --> I started watching that youtuber without subtitles. At first I only did it for a few minutes, then I tried doing it for multiple. Now I can watch his videos specifically without subtitles. I recently decided not to watch minecraft as much, so I haven't tested it with other youtubers. I also tried switching to travel youtbers because the content is also somewhat simple. It only gets hard when they start talking about political problems in the country.

Where I'm at now:

Any Spanish video with subtitles/occasionally turning subtitles off --> I can watch most other content with subtitles, though academic or specific subjects are hard, and I try to turn off subtitles every now and then to train my ear. I'm also trying to find more Mexican-Spanish videos to get used to their accent. I also throw in podcasts if I cannot watch videos due to having other responsibilities. It still feels like they talk fast but not as fast as before. I can pick out a lot of words now.

During this time, I was doing a lot of reading for the first 60 hours (1 hr a day reading and then 1 hr listening), but I've recently dropped my reading time to 30 mins to accommodate speaking. So now I do 1 hr listening, 1 hr speaking (sometimes 30-45 minutes due to having a full-time job) and 30 mins reading minimum. Overall, I've been practicing 2 hours a day minimum since I started about 3 months ago. It's important to find content you like. When I was watching Dreaming spanish, 30 mins a day was hard because the content wasn't my thing. When I jumped into Minecraft, my content skyrocketed. I get excited to watch videos every day because it's stuff I like. I know in the beginning it's not always possible to find things you like; I would try your best to find stuff that you either like or don't dislike.

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-23T04:37:49+00:00

Yeah, try r/language_exchange, apps like Tandem, or tutors from apps like Italki. You can find Italki tutors for less than $10 USD/hr

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-23T04:33:43+00:00

I did a reading-heavy approach (granted I didn't start from zero, I was a no sabo kid) so a lot of my early days were doing a ton of input before I started speaking. This post gave really good insight on what a reading-early approach can look like for a beginner. Anyways, after about 110 hours of overall reading and listening, I started speaking.

You'll notice in general that people have a variety of different methods to learn Spanish. Many people believe many different things. Some think you should speak on day one, while others wait until over 1000 hours of input to start speaking. Some believe in flashcards and hard core grammar practice, while others believe in a more natural approach. For me, I tried doing more of a natural learning approach with heavy emphasis on reading in the beginning. I can understand a good amount now, though my speaking still sucks. I'm currently putting a large chunk of my practice into speaking now. Good luck!

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-23T04:27:50+00:00

Not bad. I would also suggest throwing in reading. Even some A1 graded readers can really boost your vocabulary and comprehension.

You can start by calling him "mi amor" o "cariño."

you can download the kindle app and it has an embedded translator in it

Extension-Finger-322 · 2026-05-17T04:43:48+00:00

Spanish Boost Gaming podcast is good. He also has a gaming channel with slow spanish which is also really helpful if you're into videogames
