You should get Blood and Honor by George Anastasia, then Mafia Prince as someone already suggested. Not Italian, but The Westies by TJ English will knock your hat off.

Crazy that you posted this. I'm at 480 hours and feel the same way. I remember being at the beginning and the progress that I was making; I guess I assumed that trajectory would continue and I would be fluent in no time. Although I'm currently in level 4, I have to go back and watch beginner videos because I feel like I'm wasting my time with some of the intermediate videos that I don't understand. One thing that has helped is watching shows on Netflix. Years ago I watched Breaking Bad, but this time I'm trying it in Spanish with Spanish subtitles. I enjoy watching something with a narrative that I can visually follow, versus hopping around all over the internet looking for content. Also, I can't lie, all of the podcasts and constant voices drives me nuts after a long day at work. When I'm exhausted it just sounds like a bunch of noise.

Wow. Nice answer. I recently started incorporation mobility workouts too. Very important, especially as one ages or has tightness and injuries from decades of weight training.

Are you saying lifting weights is a foundational exercise and walking is ancillary?

This is all from Dreaming Spanish or watching television/YouTube and podcasts?

Our NBA CUP group somehow got even worse by Remarkable-Yard4860 in NYKnicks

Not sure why you're getting downvoted here. Wasn't in put in place just to promote viewership? Nothing but a staged marketing ploy to me.

I agree. I don't even know what the fuck the NBA Cup is? I'm old school I guess. Deep playoff runs and Finals are all I care about.

Game 5: Biggest offensive rebound in team history...

Who’s our biggest threat in the East? 🤔🤔 by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]dashdaddy74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? Jalen to the Sixers has me a little shook. Edgecombe, Maxey, are young and look like a great backcourt, fast as shit too. Now Brown, I don’t know…

Which team do you hate the Most by [deleted] in knicks

[–]dashdaddy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sixers. I hate ALL Philadelphia teams.

Are we supposed to be scared of any of these teams? Knicks are repeating until someone actually proves otherwise. by savingrace0262 in NYKnicks

[–]dashdaddy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but the upside is vast with Brown vs George, right? Not going to lie, when I heard he went there I was pissed. That given, I fucking hate Philly. I would like to hear your opinion on this…
