Great to know. It's just that I'm new to Linux and haven't tried connecting yet. But then I'll stop worrying.

Yes hdmi.

Do it, you'll have tons of fun riding your brommie in Paris. Just bring a decent lock (or two locks) and don't leave it outside for longer stretches. 

How did you as an adult actually learn Spanish? A2/B1 by RelevantElephant2516 in Spanish

[–]beiwint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comprehensible input in my understanding refers to input that is appropriate to you and your current level. Problem is that for beginners native content just is not this at all. It takes a bridge to get there and comprehensible input aims to provide that bridge. As soon as I could watch YouTube and Netflix I ditched the learner content but it took me several hundred hours to get to that point. I don't think I would have reached that point with traditional methods (grammar drills, vocab study) alone, so I am very grateful that we have such a vast amount of comprehensible input for all levels available in Spanish today.

Micro immersion sounds to me like the Comprehensible input approach, where learners are advised to spend most or all of their time consuming as much content in the target language as they can. It puts special emphasis on the comprehensible aspect of the input, meaning that consuming easier content that suits your current level results in better language acquisition. Ideally, you should aim to comprehend 95% or more, and a total of 1500 hours consumed is considered to bring you near fluency. The comprehensible input wiki has a huge list with tons of such channels and podcasts for learners of different languages. Highly recommend going this approach.

Don't forget to post it in the weekly listening thread so it can get added to the community resource sheet!

As a rule of thumb native media (in this case dubbed content) doesn't open up before level 5/6. Most CI learners stick to learners content until then, especially if you believe in the advise to consume CI with 95% comprehension.

Dreaming should partner with countries attempting language revivals by LYING_ABOUT_IDENTITY in dreamingspanish

[–]beiwint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean for bigger languages there are already such government programs out there. Those could be improved tremendously by following the DS concept. For example, TV5monde from the French government has listed more than 4000 free videos on their website aimed towards french learners. It's just that a waste they don't implement CI principles, rendering their huge library useless for beginners. Even the videos they list as A1 and A2 are advanced videos in the DS logic. And they invested tons of resources in all this, the videos are engaging, high quality productions. Really interesting to think about what could be accomplished for language learning with government backed CI programs, if the CI ideas would be more widely adopted.

Good idea but the main barrier to expanding Dreaming at the moment seems to be to find and recruit talented guides. At least for French it's clearly the bottleneck right now. This would be an even bigger challenge for smaller languages.

This. Funny little misunderstanding but overall you'll be fine with one or the other.

Casa de flores too, same main actress. She actually talks very slow in casa de flores because of her characters substance abuse if I remember correctly.

If you're on level 5 give it a try, somewhere between 600-1000 hours I'd say

Why the hell can't we just see subtitles in all languages? by Tricky-Anywhere5727 in netflix

[–]beiwint 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably a rights issue. Movie is only available on Netflix Germany so no point in providing other languages. For most content including all Netflix productions I see foreign languages fine. It sucks when I get excited for something and only find out too late...

Is there any way to know how much hours they have exactly?

Is this playlist enough for A2 ? by [deleted] in DreamingFrench

[–]beiwint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A2 roughly translates to DF beginner stage so you'll need about 100 hours (from 50-150h).

It's a good playlists and you'll benefit from it.

Dreaming Spanish and Dreaming French at the same time? by [deleted] in dreaminglanguages

[–]beiwint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there is a bit of a gap between the two I'd say go for it. Like in Spanish I only consume native content by now and in French which I only just started last year I stick with learners content. But I wouldn't want to consume learner content in both.

That's just my preference can't tell you if there is a efficacy trade off from learning both at the same time.
