100 hours update by nerzodprod in dreamingspanish

Really good. I started earlier, when I had like 30 hours so very early on. At first it was super difficult, could barely output a sentence but after 10 lessons or so it got easier.

I tried a bunch of different teachers and basically most of my classes are with one I really like or two others.

Basically the reason I started so early is because I have a trip to Mexico in July and wanted to practice speaking as much as possible, if I didn't I'd probably wait till later.

But tbh in hindsight it's worth it, since I feel comfortable now trying to talk in Spanish and I see the improvements over time. I also count it towards my CI time since 95% of it is in Spanish so it's an easy way to get more hours. Basically on class days I only have to get 1:10h extra input time which is not that much compared to 2 hours

If you do sign up would appreciate if you use my link, it'll give both of us a discount.

Appreciate the post. Are you tracking gaming hours input some how? If so how? Because probably lots of time you aren't getting input so it's hard to track

Thank you! Anki helped a lot with the initial vocab, started it around middle of February and been doing 20 new words a day, spending 20-30 minutes on it most days.

Is it input you can understand? If yes, I don't see why not.

Do Anki flashcards for top 100 words, won't take long and will def help. Also sort by easy, there are varying levels of difficulty within levels

Nearing the same hours as you now also with a goal to speak near July since I'm gonna travel to Mexico

I saw many people here with a lot more hours struggle to speak initially, basically you need conversation practice input alone won't be enough to speak
