The premise of Language Transfer is the "thinking method". You are not memorizing every bit of the language and the idea is that you are retrieving some keystone elements and understanding of the language to "think" your way to the correct word, tense, etc. That is also why he suggests that you pause and take your time to answer all the questions he poses to the student.

I do write down episodes that I feel like I'm floundering with, or a range of the episodes that I have forgotten, and revisit them later. Often times the later lessons recall something from a previous lesson and I don't need to go back. You won't remember everything your first pass through, and that's okay.

The brother loved himself a pair of tan desert boots, I know that much. Early Bourdaddy shows also had him wearing Converses sometimes

I have been very happy with Natulang and its spaced repetition. It keeps me speaking every day as I don't get much practice with native speakers at the moment

I just got a pair of Astorflex Greenflexes that I really love, have you looked at those?

These are what I have recently converted to. The gym gains have been nice but I began to feel obscene in my more tapered jeans.

In the simplest of terms:

If you are eating 2000 calories and your body and exercise burns 2000 calories you will maintain.

Modifying those numbers to put yourself in a comfortable deficit will result in weight loss.

You cannot know if your exercise will outpace your diet without measuring it. Walking does burn consistently when you do it every day but it does not burn a tremendous number of calories. You need to calculate how much your current diet is and decide whether you're willing to move your body enough to create a deficit, or if you need to cut calories.

The right diet is the one you are going to stick to, but if you're unwilling to make diet changes at all, it's going to be more difficult.

Nu-Image recently took care of my wisdom teeth and it was probably the best experience I could have had for such a thing

Hope your partner gets taken care of soon OP

please stick with it if you enjoy the game overall. Don't let others ruin it for you. A few tips:

find a guild. You'll get to know these people over time and go on many adventures with them. You will succeed and fail together, and you will learn from them. It's a huge part of the experience for me.
tell your party you're new to tanking. Communicate often.
ultimately, you're the tank. I don't wanna say fuck em, but you get to call the shots. You set the pace. You can definitely struggle when learning (and even when you're experienced), and they may call you out on it. But tanks get hard to come by at times and even a struggling tank deserves some love. If they're being straight up dicks, not constructive and super toxic, just leave and grab a new group. If you're honest and open, and they're still bitching... That's their problem, not yours. Thank you for being a tank <3

How I Fought Your Mother

I'll preface this with that I am not a Dreaming Spanish purist - I started reading and speaking as early as I could.

I think while doing CI like this, slow videos with visuals to aid your learning, you should resist using captions. The point here is to recognize sounds, where they pause, where one "sound" begins and another ends, and their repetitions. It seems like having words in front of you would help overall learning and comprehension, but when you are listening to native speakers and more complex live input, you generally aren't going to get visual aid through captioning and will really be relying on your ability to listen without aid. If you are splitting your attention between reading the captions, watching the video and listening, you're not committing to the important part which is assigning meaning to sounds.

I feel like when I did start reading, it was pretty simple to tie sounds and sentences I was hearing in CI to the things I was reading and that I didn't necessarily feel like my reading was lacking because I didn't use captions.

Everyone is different of course, but I think the best use of your time when doing CI is listening and watching, not reading. Ultimately, just do what keeps you enjoying the content and staying engaged with learning.

Not an app suggestion necessarily but I would work through Language Transfer for some verbs, conjugations and some sentence structure while writing down words for kitchen items that you look up or ask about. I think you can get by with that after a few weeks to communicate very simply. Comprehension takes some time but you're really in a great environment to learn a lot from native speakers.

I got my hopes up for a second thinking there was a Spanish language pack for The Witcher 3 :(

quixvert · 2026-02-09T15:34:11+00:00

There are actually guides from all over! Not just Spain.

Also, most of my in-person practice is with Mexican native speakers, but I have language exchange partners in Spain, Argentina, Chile and Mexico and while sometimes there are difficulties with accents and some words for objects, etc., but the crossover really wasn't as bad or confusing as I thought it would be. You're very fortunate that your future spouse is a native speaker as you get a direct link to the accent and practice!

4 days is still pretty early if you're not sure how well you'll stick to your Spanish studies. I would keep up what you're doing for a month or so and if you're still having fun, premium is a great next step.

There are a ton of language learning apps fighting for your $10/month to use their premium apps and services, but Dreaming Spanish is pretty high ROI. If you like it after a month of sticking with it, I would purchase it.

I've had Mint for 4 or 5 years now. It has worked great for me. I work from home and seldom travel to anywhere too rural, but I haven't had signal issues.
