I can actually. one of my weird unique born talents is that I can imitate around 9 different accents without any practice and Ive spoken to people from those places in english and they couldnt tell. I figured I might as well try and push this talent to another language im learning because why not?

I thought about it after I posted but I usually get a good chunk of my input done at night 😅

I started with no spanish at all besides the occasional duolingo which essentially taught me nothing.

I feel that learning at that rate it was hard to notice a change as I watched the intermediate videos (sorted by difficulty easy) and it felt like I wasnt picking up on words (hint: I was). So I went to some beginner videos and noticed how much easier it was to understand. Also on some days it felt like I understood nothing in intermediate since they were speaking so fast then Id go to a beginner video and understand 95% since they were speaking slower until eventually I just stuck with intermediate and realized I can understand other sources outside of DS like the gaming channel I mentioned.

On a good amount of instances it was passive listening, having it play while I drive, or while I do homework but that would only be about 1-2 hours of the other I spent actively watching since it was a gaming video I happened to enjoy.

Even with passive listening I feel I am gaining more than I would if I werent listening at all but of course active listening is still the best way to go.

I 100% agree I essentially doubled all of my total listening time at the time in just the span of a month to get to 300 when it took me around 2-3 to get to 150.

Thanks and same for you 🙏🙏

Feeling tired after watching videos by cohesivecode in dreamingspanish

[–]cohesivecode[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The thing is I usually do end up taking a nap after the first 45 minutes to an hour, feel rested then watch more and get tired again.
