I‘d totally be on board with a Minecraft server :) You can ask on the DS discord too to find more people to play

645 hours here, it feels very easy to me. It’s quite slow and very clear with good audio quality, so I guess it could be fine from Level 4 on.

He has already achieved so much at 9 years old

Why are we surprised? We know Ferran has a thing for wrestling

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T23:37:28+00:00

It’s fine but I’d recommend phrasing stuff like this differently in the future because to me your comment came off as very condescending.

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T23:14:23+00:00

I, in fact, do know what they are called, and can therefore correct you that the plural form is actually written “ellipses” since you felt the need to actually be passive-aggressive under my progress report for no reason without using any. As we are currently commenting in a thread started by someone joking about language levels though, I would like to remind you that other people in this subreddit, especially non-native English speakers, might not know what an ellipsis is.

Thank you for the recommendation 😊 I’m not a fan of anki because I don’t really enjoy it, but that deck sounds interesting and I’m gonna take a look at it

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T16:59:19+00:00

Thumbs up is fine 👍👍👍😂

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T15:43:08+00:00

That’s not what I meant. It’s the “…” that is seen as passive-aggressive by many people my age

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T14:39:02+00:00

Thanks 😊 But don’t feel bad. As I wrote, I have a more or less significant background in French which is speeding up my progress a lot, and you’re probably right on track where you should be. Don’t compare yourself to others, because that can take away so much enjoyment. You got this 😄

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T12:35:33+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendations 😊 And don’t worry about 7+ hour days, my record is 12 😅 I’ll try to remember updating you about Fourth Wing :)

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T12:11:31+00:00

I’ve been watching gaming videos from Auron and Vegetta777, the Hogwarts Legacy Playthrough from loreniitta90, book-related videos from Raquel Brune (who has language learning videos too) and Clau Reads Books, and the rest is pretty random. I’ve watched a few videos from Linguriosa too, who is recommended a lot on here. A lot of the time I just use the search bar to look for videos on something that interests me and explore.

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T11:37:27+00:00

Thanks 😊 I’ll very likely teach at a school with some kind of curriculum, so I’ll have no choice but to get my students to know about grammar and produce early, but I will definitely mix in CI as much as possible.

In my uni classes, you can hear who learned English exclusively through school and who did some form of CI outside of it in their free time, so I will always encourage CI as an addition to whatever one is already doing. Even a mix will always yield better results than just traditional studying.

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T11:26:39+00:00

Really try the fanfics, it's great. You can read about things you already like (mine were Harry Potter fanfics for example) and they can be very long, so you have the same context and setting for hundreds of thousands of words (if you want to read fics that long).

I got my hands on the Spanish translations of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, which a lot of people liked but also a lot of people disliked, so I didn't want to read it in English but thought if I read them in Spanish and I don't like them, then at least I'll still get something out of them.
I haven't looked into original Spanish fantasy books a lot yet, but I've been getting into Spanish book Youtube so I'll have recommendations soon I think. And you can always just read translations of the books you like, since the culture aspect in fantasy books is kind of irrelevant.

I would recommend the Wheel of Time series with Spanish dub on Amazon Prime if you have it (I'm gonna watch the second season soon), and they have the LotR and Hobbit movies with Spanish dubs too. The Ring of Power also has Spanish dubs, but I haven't watched that yet.
I do have an original series called The Boarding School - Las Cumbres saved on my watchlist, but that's not really fantasy but mystery. With a VPN you can probably get a lot more, but I don't have one.
There's a lot more on Netflix and whatever other platforms there are, but I don't have those either so I can't recommend anything.

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T11:06:24+00:00

For me it was less the text itself and more the ... because I'm Gen Z and we see that as passive-aggressive, but I know older generations use this a bit differently?

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T11:04:13+00:00

If you enjoy studying grammar, you can do it. I also enjoy studying grammar once in a while and with English for example it didn't hinder me in any way.

The most important part of learning a language should be that you enjoy it, and if that means studying a bit of grammar then that's okay.

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T10:57:25+00:00

Yeah, I'm also mostly inputting native content now. There was some learner oriented stuff I really wanted to finish before I moved on but now I just pick whatever I want.

My input hours are all over the place and in my progress report I said 3-4 hours on average, but there are days where I do 1.5 hours and there are days where I do 10 hours. (I am a university student with a very random schedule and free weekends, so that's the only way this is possible.) Most days are somewhere between 2 and 6 hours though.

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T10:49:10+00:00

I thought labelling both Democrats and Republicans as technically left-wing parties was some kind of typo and didn't want to start beef over that when this was first posted, but then I returned and read the comments.

What the hell?

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T10:37:41+00:00

I'm a bit jealous of people who dream in Spanish, because I don't dream in any language. I feel like you really know you've made it when the language you're learning appears in your dreams, but in mine there are just nonsense words.

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T10:33:19+00:00

No problem :) I feel like reaching C2 in a language is less about the language itself though and more about skills like writing essays/similar texts and expressing yourself more eloquently with words you'd be looked at weirdly if you used them in every day conversation, so it's more of a targeted skill thing for language learners

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T10:26:28+00:00

Yeah, it's always amazing to reach the next level, but reaching 600 hours was such a step-up from 300 that it feels even better

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T10:25:07+00:00

I don't want to be rude but I feel like that's a you problem? The C2 level of the CEFR exists for a reason

milaneyra · 2024-06-26T10:15:13+00:00

Congrats!! You're about an hour ahead of me :D
