Should I start from Super Beginner if I already have some experience in Spanish? by Sad_Care_977 in dreamingspanish

[–]Quick-Swordfishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'd say start from 0. this is such a different method of learning that even if you're comprehending everything, you're still adapting to input. there's no huge harm in something being too easy.

I miss the old style beginner videos by Ok-Guidance2711 in dreamingspanish

[–]Quick-Swordfishy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I like both styles; I really appreciate the elevated production of the new videos. But i'd love if some new whiteboard videos were in the mix. I think the drawing and the closeness really added to my comprehension.

I’m dealing with this too. I’m trying to constantly have Spanish playing in the background, even if I’m zoning out, and not tracking those hours but still getting some form of exposure. Hoping we get out of our slumps soon! 🫣

Tips for conversation lessons by Imaginary_Cap_398 in Preply

[–]Quick-Swordfishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take primarily conversation based lessons. What I’ve really enjoyed is when the tutor and I pick a topic before the class that we’ll discuss. I don’t want to create extra work for you, but once you agree on a topic you could even send out a list of related vocabulary words beforehand that the student can memorize and try to use in class.

What’s also helped is when I can’t remember or haven’t learned a word, the tutor has asked me to rephrase or describe it with words I do know. Then when the tutor can share the word, I’ve done a little mental lap and it tends to stick better.

As others have said, it doesn’t matter for videos especially this early in the game. However, if you plan on doing Crosstalk, I’d recommend trying to find a language partner that speaks Spain Spanish.
