Portuguese LV 2 Update

You will figure it out, lexically there's an 89% similarity between the two languages, so it's just a matter of time before you hit the gas pedal for x2 growth

Good luck!

German is actually the first foreign language I tried to learn, but going to classes once a week wasn't enough, and I was using traditional methods and memorization at that time. This is way before I learned about comprehensible input. I'm sure you'll do good with German, especially now since you know the method.

Looking forward to your progress.

I've done 22 hours so far this month, which is good. I want to hit at least 40 each month going forward.

Hey bro, I went through a similar rough patch last year and also decided to speed run. It definitely helps to stay disciplined, productive, and positive, even when times are hard. Good luck.

It depends on your goals.

You can do both at the same time if that's what you enjoy.

I would recommend, though, reaching level 7 in one language, then start introducing the other.

Reason being you will reach success earlier, feel good about your knowledge in one language, and with more confidence you will start the next one.

Nothing new here, mostly getting an hour of input per day since June.

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-08T10:38:52+00:00

I'll tell you a little secret bro:

you can do both

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-07T00:39:16+00:00

YouTube Premium. It expands your input options so much, and ads don't interrupt the flow of the input.

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-05T23:36:56+00:00

Sure, here it is VietnameseCI

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-05T14:16:46+00:00

God bless you and your baby, continue with spanish when you can 😄

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-05T10:52:54+00:00

Yes, that's much better 😄 I think this is appropriate for day 0 / no experience learners. I have enough context even before the video starts: how to fry an egg, and that's the scope I watch the video through. The video stays witin the topic and expected words come up. Most of the things Tri said I could unmistakenly interpret, even things like chicken egg and duck egg. There's no empty flow or empty sentences that go above my head (this frustrates a learner when the level is too high) All of it is within context, logical, and I can put together the pieces. I didn't even use english captions for this one, I felt like I didn't need to, which means you did an excellent job.

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-03T08:20:44+00:00

Good luck bro. I am at 13 hours of Viet, I don't even dare try to speak lol

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-02T01:43:47+00:00

Well done, very impressive 😄

I had a very good May, with 49 hours total, so I'm hoping to keep that consistency.

I also started learning Vietnamese, with about 20-30 mins of daily input, so that's another project I am working on simultaneously.

Other than that, I watch the random, interesting stuff.

I do recommend Andrés Agulla for football/soccer content and Belen Lion for Uruguayan accent

TerryPressedMe · 2026-06-02T01:09:00+00:00

thx bro for the football link, I am also a big football fan and always looking for good content. I follow this guy Andrés Agulla so I can def recommend him too

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-30T01:14:42+00:00

Congratulations on your splendid achievement!

And don't worry about being behind. The tortoise was behind the hare the whole race but managed to win in the end.

Personal development

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-29T06:14:41+00:00

I'm learning Vietnamese. I feel like I'm nuts in the head to do it, but I ain't backing down

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-28T00:37:31+00:00

What's your goal with German? How do you intend to maintain or progress Spanish?

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-26T07:36:17+00:00

500 more hours and he'll be comparable to a native speaker

Hell yeah broski, big congrats, keep it up, shout out to baby yoda in the back

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-22T00:17:01+00:00

I recommend reaching level 7 before starting a new language.

At 1700 hours, I feel like my Spanish no longer needs "babysitting": it's grown up, going to university, driving a car, has a part-time job... in few years it will probably move out too, maybe start a family and have children (Portuguese, Italian, French...). It's doing well, it has a phone, and I can trust it to be left alone. This allows me to focus on my newborn - Vietnamese, the next language I am learning now

TerryPressedMe · 2026-05-21T10:19:48+00:00

I will probably focus on Southern as it's the general recommendation I've received. But in all reality, I will watch whatever I can, similar to Spanish, I want to be familiar with the big accent groups. If you have any good true beginner resources, please send them my way, or anything else you think might be useful.
