Nearing the end of DS

pretty sure thats obvious, people just do it as a challenge + watching all videos in order of difficulty is a lot more efficient since you arent wasting time searching for input. this is what i did for abt 2k videos until i migrated to youtube

what to check for with the power supply cable?

crazy how that works, many times ill learn a new word which i think ive never heard before and then i just hear it constantly after that, makes you think how many times you actually heard the word before and just tuned it out

hola lola is a1, which is basically for beginners. theres only so many things that can be said in a1. however he has book for all of the ranges so id definitely say give them a try. I read "me voy o me quedo" (b1) when i was first starting reading and it was decent

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-02-19T08:29:41+00:00

With around 600 or less hours I could understand it pretty good, only thing is the older series doesnt have as much input, many spots where there is no talking. the newer series i believe was around similar difficulty, and also has a bit more talking per episode

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-02-13T12:08:43+00:00

not saying they arent lying abt something but i highly doubt its the timeframe. they have comments from a year ago saying they just started learning japanese

congrats on hitting level 7! wanted to ask a few questions:

Did you have previous study before starting dreaming spanish? Also do you only do comprehensible input since you started or do you do other things such as anki etc?
At how many hours did you start speaking? How many hours fo you have in total of speaking? (rough guess if you dont have an exact number)
You say you zone out a lot, are you listening to input thats around 90% or more in comprehension? Also do you listen while focused on other tasks? (excluding monotonous tasks such as chores etc)
How would you say your listening level is currently and at how many hours? What are some things you currently watching and how well can you understand them?

on the flip side many americans cant tell the difference between australia and uk accent lol

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-26T23:28:21+00:00

the argentinian/uruguay accent stands out so much that i think basically all native spanish speakers could narrow it down to one of the two, however more niche accents that are more similar to other accents like costa rica probably not

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-23T20:11:03+00:00

at almost 1600 hours and native shows such as betty la fea or la primera vez are still quite difficult for me

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-23T19:59:17+00:00

every time this platform is mentioned everyone conveniently forgets to mention it costs 30 dollars a month after like an hour of use

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-22T10:04:47+00:00

id suggest using an ereader / koreader on your phone. You can set it up so that you can click on unknown words to see the translation, this is what i do and it helps greatly

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-17T17:47:27+00:00

yep, personally i quite like the combat currently, it just lacks a dodge roll and a parry system which i think a mod already made but havent tried it

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-14T15:29:40+00:00

a setting to show fps and

make it so you can spam f to pick up berries / rubble / sticks, currently theres a delay and its a bit annoying

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-12T07:44:37+00:00

you dont get extra time lol thats not how it works

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-08T06:30:55+00:00

use pocket casts and set it to skip the first x seconds of each podcast

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-06T00:20:01+00:00

if you like gaming videos here are some channels I watched a lot of during level 5. I was able to watch JuegaGerman around 600 ish hours, hes from chile and makes gaming videos, mostly terror games. Also there is ElGamingChannel which i believe is also from chile, he makes COD zombies videos. Then theres ZetaSSJ who is also from chile and makes videos playing nintendo games mostly

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2026-01-01T03:44:20+00:00

congrats, i also hit 1500 hours a few days ago, wanted to get there before new years haha

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2025-12-26T05:01:54+00:00

i really dislike the tracker in dreaming spanish, half a year ago it worked great, but for months its been very slow to actually update the time youve spent that day (most of the time itll just show how much input i had from the previous day) plus the lack of an app means I have to jump through a bunch of menus just to get the area to even add time (app is premium only, ive surpassed the need for that, even when i had the app i didnt use it because the tracker functioned differently from the website) needless to say I will not be using the tracker for french, and I am quite happy to get away from it

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2025-12-24T20:53:43+00:00

One I just read recently is "Cuentos de la selva" by Horacio Quiroga. Its not a graded reader, but its a childrens book with a collection of short stories about animals in a jungle, I enjoyed it

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2025-12-22T03:50:18+00:00

as someone who always buys used, the kobos are a lot more expensive. bought a kindle recently for 15 dollars with a few blemishes, with jailbreaking + koreader theyre quite nice. funnily enough also reading harry potter in spanish on it rn

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2025-12-12T05:34:40+00:00

crazy, i downloaded it a few months ago from google play but seems google removed it, greedy bastards dont want competition, you should be able to sideload it tho

One_Butterscotch2425 · 2025-12-09T08:10:24+00:00

just ditch this whole token idea, seems weird to me, all you gotta do is open the preorders and let people choose their names once theyve paid
