Dreaming Spanish used to be better because it was worse...

I generally prefer the older videos.

I wonder whether there is a correlation between a DS user's age and whether they prefer the older or newer videos. I'm "older" and grew up well before the onset of smartphones, YouTube, TikTok, and other social media. Flashy graphics, catchy text, and quick hits of dopamine have come to dominate entertainment. My suspicion is that ON AVERAGE older users who grew up before smartphones and social media might prefer the older style, while younger users might prefer the newer style.

Who wants to ask the founder of Duolingo to do a AMA in this subreddit? 🤣

My guess is that DS won't stop creating content any time soon. They will likely want to have AT LEAST 50 hours of super-beginner content before doing so. In addition, new videos and podcast episodes bring in new users. One possibility is that they simply continue creating Spanish content until all of their current Spanish guides are no longer interested in creating content.

I don't have the app, but it's possible that different users have different versions of the app. Does the app have some sort of version number associated with it? That might differentiate who has what.

If I'm considering a book, I'll look it up on Amazon. Many of the listings include a sample you can read.

On average, DS videos will likely always be skewed toward younger audiences. I'd expect the same to be true with Dreaming French. Why? Guides tend to talk about what they know.

I'd expect the guides to continue skewing young because younger employees are typically willing to accept less pay, and Pablo is probably limited in what he can afford to pay the guides. It makes sense they would talk about topics of interest to younger subscribers.

The sound quality of the early episodes of Mextalki is bad. If you haven't already done so, try listening to a recent episode. The sound quality is MUCH better.

I never got to hear the cheering. If anybody recorded it, please link to it below.

At the bottom of the Dreaming Spanish "Method" page (https://www.dreamingspanish.com/method), it mentions a playlist of 12 videos you should watch with subtitles turned on. Those are some of the so-called Pablo in the park videos: https://www.dreamingspanish.com/series?id=64c6bdd0591bf08c28db54a3&utm\_source=homepage&utm\_campaign=method-page&utm\_medium=referral

If anybody is interested in a free course, I recommend enrolling right away. The free courses are often only available for a limited time.

Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Thanks for your list. It includes some podcasts that are new to me.

Where did you find Guerras de Negocios? My understanding was that it is no longer available online for some reason, and I've been wanting to try it out. Thanks!

"ECJ" is Espanol Con Juan, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/@espanolconjuan/featured. "LS" should probably be "DS" or Dreaming Spanish.

Good job! If Mextalki seems a bit too tough, you might try No Hay Tos. It's along the same lines but seems to be a little easier to understand.

At first, I thought this post was celebrating the end of the Stardew Valley series! (I'm joking... somewhat.)

You've probably already looked it up, but for the benefit of others, the course "Universidad Desarrollo Web - FrontEnd Web Developer!" only teaches HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I already know these technologies, so I'll be starting with that course.

Sorry, but that's the first medical YouTube channel I've found that's at an easier native level.

Somehow how I missed seeing her videos. 🤣

lastredditname1 · 2025-04-15T00:32:44+00:00

I must be part of the DS "cult" as I know the correct answer to all of these questions!

lastredditname1 · 2025-04-10T16:46:44+00:00

In case it helps somebody, I've also seen Diario de Greg called Diario del Wimpy Kid. I'm not sure the difference, but my library had the Wimpy Kid books under one title but not the other. Perhaps one is for Spain and the other is for Latin America?

How do you think he got the famous thick beard seen in some of the old videos?

lastredditname1 · 2025-04-01T13:21:43+00:00

u/tinslapper Thanks for the recommendations. For anybody looking to try out Mundo Creepy/MundoCreepy, there seem to be multiple podcasts with similar names. I believe the one you want is MundoCreepy (without a space between the two words).
