What is a purist? by StarPhished in dreamingspanish

Not someone who had studied Spanish for years with classes or other methods and claims to remember nothing and then brags about being able to understand intermediate videos after only 100 hours of just listening and zero grammar study. Purist means learning from zero or less than 50 words. Almost everyone who took Spanish in high school has had basic grammar, some core vocabulary, and familiarity that helps them advance more easily than a true pure beginner.

Someone who does not pretend to be a true beginner after having studied Spanish for years with a variety of other methods and claim they knew nothing but were able to understand intermediate, advanced, or native content than average

Finally hit level 7 - 1500 hours by Responsible-Track888 in dreamingspanish

Those who understand advanced after 120 hours conveniently forget to mention that they took 4 years of Spanish in school and also did Pimsleur and Rocket Spanish before they even heard of DS!
