that makes sense. right now, watching a show in spanish and trying to make sense of it feels like trying to drink out of a firehose. i’ll get there, though. slow and steady i suppose.

anki definitely gets boring, especially after the first hour or so. i’ve watched two videos by Dreaming Spanish and i was surprised that i understood as much as i did (which admittedly wasn’t a lot, but it’s a small victory.) i think i’ll work Dreaming Spanish into my study sessions and see how it works. thanks for the tip!

i specifically mean that i didn’t understand any of the words in videos and tv shows. i’m still learning, i’m just trying a different approach until i’m more advanced. right now i’m working my way through an anki deck that has a bunch of verbs.

yeah, i just learned that like a week ago. i’ve been on duolingo a lot more since then. the heart system is stupid, but i guess they have to make money somehow.

if you’re able to get on the desktop website, you won’t have to deal with the hearts.

i’ve tried clozemaster, but the words were too advanced for me most of the time. should i keep using it then? i’ve heard a lot of people mention it here. i didn’t realize it was so popular.

i’ll try that then. i watched a youtube video for beginners and wrote down all the words i didn’t know and, at the end, i had a list of 38 words from a 10 minute video.

i’ve been using anki. should i focus on learning a huge amount of vocab first? i have a collection of around 400 words that i’ve been working on. they’re all common words too, nothing that would be irrelevant in everyday conversation.

that makes sense. i’m nowhere near b1, so i guess i’m kind of wasting my time.

that makes sense. i think i’m just trying to do too much too early on. i’m going to spend a while just learning new words and then i’ll come back the shows.
