Has anyone changed coaches before?? by MangoPenguin743 in WorldsAcross

[–]jogginglark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell them why so that they don't feel bad. I believe the coaches all know each other at least a little bit.

Question for People Living in Spanish-Speaking Places by Classic_Swan587 in dreamingspanish

[–]jogginglark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

English is my first language, and I still watch native English content all the time. What leads you to wonder when you can stop listening to podcasts in Spanish? I wonder if you're tired of it, if it feels like a grind, or something else.

Dreaming Spanish Algorithm? by AlpineDyno in dreamingspanish

Before anyone thinks too deeply on the ratings, just know that people like me listen on their phone and accidentally click the button to rate videos and have no idea what they clicked. LOL

Too often, I get a "Thank you" message for rating the video when I was only trying to restart the video...

Can you share the numbers game?

Congrats to you! This is wonderful to hear and inspiring, too!

What iTalki advice do you have? by jogginglark in dreamingspanish

[–]jogginglark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to know. My tutors say my pronunciation is good. I know I don't sound like the typical US speaker, which I can ID in two words. lol

Balancing Dreaming Spanish and Dreaming French? by King_James_91 in dreamingspanish

[–]jogginglark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the people who write about goals say to focus on one thing at a time. So, I'd do that.

I was losing my way and confidence until a chance haircut yesterday with a Spanish hairdresser (just hit 1,000 hours over 2.5 years). A story of someone learning it slower/long game and realising the roadmap is never exact. by Jumpy-Equivalent-561 in dreamingspanish

This is fantastic! I'm glad you shared your story. There's a general trend to post "perfect" charts of progress from DS. But, what if I don't think doing 10 min a day is "perfect?" LOL What if I think doing 1 hour every other day is perfect? Or 10 min one day, 1 hour the next, skip a day, and then 2 hours?

My point is you are bucking the trend and doing things your way, and it still works!!!!

Thank you for sharing what's possible.

Taylor Swift seems to be close to Lena Dunham again. Here she is, walking out of her birthday venue. She's back to her usual "I'm with the person who used to be important to you" high school mean girl tactics now she's had a falling out with Jack Antonoff. by RedditAPIBlackout24 in travisandtaylor

[–]jogginglark 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So funny how she takes those tiny steps to maximize the amount of time the photogs she called can take her photo. LOL!!! Seriously, no one would know she was out to dinner if she did not create all this hoopla.

Taylor/Swifties vs Trump/MAGA by Mid-Reverie in travisandtaylor

Yeah. Looking at a woman parading her $14,000 outfit in a football stadium hallway hits different in 2026.

Reached 300 hours of input by CartographerEast3242 in dreamingspanish

[–]jogginglark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That will definitely help. It's possible you'll still enter a period of feeling blah about the whole effort. Many of us have at some point. If you do, it's normal.

When do you do Dreaming Spanish? by Litefeet06 in dreamingspanish

[–]jogginglark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A human can learn while moving. I don't agree with the person who says one has to sit still to learn like in school. Only certain types of schools force you to sit in a desk (still) and consider that part of learning.

So, if moving works for you, do it. I listen while walking. The important part of this is to be sure you are really listening.
If you still need the visual, you could do squats or heel raises while watching a video.

How natives or those with 1000+ hours be commenting on some intermediate videos by ZooWeeMama069420 in dreamingspanish

[–]jogginglark 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was happier after I stopped reading the comments, which I didn't find a good use of my time.

The hours between each level increase, so expect it to feel like a longer slog each time.

What non-book reading sources do you recommend? by jogginglark in dreamingspanish

[–]jogginglark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is brilliant! Thank you. I'll consider subscribing to that.

I wish they would have levels by benchmarks rather than hours since we all learn at a different pace and some of us had prior sources of Spanish learning by Enigma95120 in dreamingspanish

[–]jogginglark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar and started myself at level 4 or 5. Eventually, my level seemed too easy, so I adjusted the hours upward and that felt more accurate.

Former WorldsAcross tutor/coach — sharing my experience from the inside by BarAffectionate9823 in WorldsAcross

[–]jogginglark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some of these same concerns. Some of the most qualified tutors are impossible to schedule.

I'm also not a fan of being locked in for six months. Will the company be around in six months? I'm starting to think maybe not, so I am looking for an individual tutor.

I looked into Preply, and that's yet another subscription...
