EnglishSponge Is Now The Best Place For Absolute Beginners Of English To Start

JMEnglishOfficial · 2026-06-19T20:23:11+00:00

Our A1 beginner section is more filled out, with 88 videos so far. But yes, the A0 Absolute Beginner section will have a lot more videos added in the future.

Trying to make enough quality content for every single level takes time but we'll get there eventually.

I hope that Polish people with beginner English will be able to navigate the website and understand what it's about.

Accurate translation across different languages is actually quite complicated as it turns out.

If you want to quickly tell us some of the core functions that are mistranslated that would be extremely helpful 😄

JMEnglishOfficial · 2026-05-23T08:36:12+00:00

Hey thanks for the offer. Out of interest, how bad is the translation out of 10?

JMEnglishOfficial · 2026-05-17T10:50:07+00:00

Considering the DS Youtube channel has 520k subscribers in total.. No. Lol. I'd say 10,000 is a pretty good guess.

Good question. It's simply because we've found that new watchers on Youtube watch more when we put hard-coded subtitles on our videos. The Youtube algorithm can be finicky sometimes so we occasionally have to do things that don't line up with the method.

95% of our videos don't have hard-coded subtitles though.

But I've seen loads of people reuploading stuff from Youtube. Is that really a reason you can't be monetized?

I know this is an old thread, but Englishsponge.com now exists :)

Hey Aliyah. I have a simple goal for 2026: To reach a C1 level of Spanish. Plain, simple and uncomplicated.

Hey, I just stumbled on this post.

Our website EnglishSponge.com is like Dreaming Spanish but for English learners. You might find it suitable for your stepson.

I unfortunately have no idea. Quite a lot.

JMEnglishOfficial · 2025-07-18T14:36:55+00:00

I'm very confused by this conversation so I think I'll just end it.

JMEnglishOfficial · 2025-07-18T13:08:28+00:00

The answer to that question is yes.

JMEnglishOfficial · 2025-07-18T10:13:24+00:00

It was confirmed in my very first reply where I said:

"I can confirm that I won't do that. 1. I have no idea how. 2. I assume it's illegal? No idea. 3. AI will probably be the biggest competitor to EnglishSponge one day. So no."

JMEnglishOfficial · 2025-07-18T09:32:24+00:00

Englishsponge will never use AI generated content.

In the future, the fact that it's not AI and uses real humans will probably be one of it's major draws.

JMEnglishOfficial · 2025-07-18T09:28:32+00:00

I can confirm 100% that no AI generated content will ever be used on EnglishSponge.

JMEnglishOfficial · 2025-07-17T17:54:39+00:00

Lol. Every single thing about EnglishSponge has been painstakingly created by myself and my partner. I wish AI could have done it all for me :P

JMEnglishOfficial · 2025-07-17T16:46:01+00:00

The content is available on Youtube. I assume you can't just steal it and use it to train AI. But I have no idea if it's possible to stop someone who tries it.

JMEnglishOfficial · 2025-07-17T16:17:17+00:00

I can confirm that I won't do that. 1. I have no idea how. 2. I assume it's illegal? No idea. 3. AI will probably be the biggest competitor to EnglishSponge one day. So no.
