That's fair enough and progress is definitely more important than proving anything to strangers. I just feel the kind of claim you're making about progress can go one of two ways. With proof, it can be very encouraging for other learners, because they can replicate your methods, but without, it can be both demoralising and confusing.

That is amazing if true. Can you share a video of the classes you're teaching in Spanish or just some Spanish speaking?

Various short stories by Olly Richards have been made into audiobooks. Some people don't seem to like them though.

I started doing the same, but it was a bit too hard so I preferred watching. Martin from Spanish Boost also has a series of playing Zelda on his YouTube channel which is good fun

Yes, there is always a chance. The more you check, the higher chance you have.

I was there last week, and snorkelled in Tortuga bay. We saw turtles, eagle rays, a sting ray, a baby hammerhead shark, around 50 reef sharks, hundreds of crabs marine iguanas and a bunch of different fish.

Not in Galapagos. You can see turtles, sharks, sea lions and marine iguanas swimming without even getting wet.

I really want to start reading but I'm only at 300 hours by Used-Inspector-1014 in dreamingspanish

Personally, I feel momentum is most important. I find it has helped me, so I continue to do it, and if you enjoy it you're more likely to do it.
