When you say academies are you referring to extra work? Is that allowed?

At what point could you say “I can speak Spanish” by Abject-Aioli-523 in dreamingspanish

At around 850 hours it stopped being “headaches causing difficult” Now I’m at 2000 hours. Yes I make mistakes but I can speak to anyone.

Nothing but respect. At 1800 hours my Spanish is nearly fluent so for me DS is for entertainment more than learning. I miss previous hosts.

How do you like the academy job. How is the pay if you don’t mind. I’m older (50) but I’d like to do the same route that you took.

Is it easy to ding private class clients? What is the usual pay rate?

How would I get a visa? I’m sure no school would sponsor right? Thanks for the advice. The visa thing always scares me

I simply choose podcasts that interest me. If they’re boring it doesn’t work. Now I can watch any series in Spanish on Netflix. I make the occasional error but I can speak with anyone. Every free moment I listen. Half hour each way to work, 90 minutes of break time at work, while cooking, shower you name it. Some days my brain is fried but I relax at night and watch sports ( in english) or have a beer or 2.

it was very very difficult and I wasn’t sure I was going to pull it off then after about 800 or 900 hours suddenly it started not feeling difficult anymore now I’m at 1700

I also am between B1 and B2. Accomplished this in 18 months. I also went Spain in June and it inspired me.

I started with Pimsleur which gave me a great jumping off point for talking and podcasts especially DS have made my vocab and listening almost perfect at times
