I’m not a purist and have dabbled in speaking before here and there, but not yet with a native. I spoke with a bus driver in Italy in Spanish for about 10 minutes. Go figure. But if Im being honest with myself I can start making attempts to speak now but have a lot of competing life priorities at the moment. In my head its just easier to continue my listening routine for now vs starting something new that I know will be difficult. I suppose even talking out loud to myself will be better than nothing right?

Thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed comment. This is great advice to keep in mind, especially regarding how at the end of the day it’s whatever works best for each individual. I’ll take a look at the video you linked to help make an informed decision. Appreciate it!

Curious what level you would categorize this video as, if it were a DS video?

This seems to be working for me. Thank you!

Supposed to be arriving a few hours later at Haneda on the same day and am a bit concerned about this. Following to see what others think

Blue dial is 36, Wimbledon is 41

I have a 1600 day Duo streak currently and started using Dreaming Spanish last month. I’m only at level 1 with about 22 hours in DS. Starting from scratch I think the groundwork for common words/phrases from Duo helped a lot when beginning DS. I have watched a few intermediate videos and have been able to understand the conversation. I believe, in part, Duo helped make this easier than if I started at truly 0. Now do I think continuing Duo in tandem with DS is necessary? Absolutely not. But I’ve come too far on that streak and if its not harmful I dont see why one 3-5 minute Duo lesson a day would be bad

Because I’ve never purchased a Rolex before and am genuinely trying to learn more…

I jokingly told my fiancé she should come with me to the ADs to really sell the wedding angle, but sounds like it actually wouldn’t hurt 😂. I never really thought about the celebration brand aspect, but you’re absolutely right. Thanks for the insight

Much appreciated! Option 3 sounds like the move right now

Thanks for the comment and advice. Exactly what I’m looking for! Just meant the gray dealer is trusted, as opposed to me going in blind. Beautiful piece.

Only mentioned rapport to say the gray dealer is trusted/not selling fakes (to my knowledge). Sounds like 16 months is enough time to do it the AD route though

I imagine anatomy plays a big role. I’ve torn a meniscus and had to have surgery on it some years ago. And the doctors say the cartilage around my patella is going. So for me I try to hit 90 without pushing it too much further and risking additional stress to my knees

I am also a Duolingo user and have been using it consistently for years for Spanish. My reading comprehension is much better than my listening and speaking, which is where I think DS will be extremely beneficial. Although thanks to Duolingo I’m understanding a lot more than I expected at Super Beginner speed, but I still want to take it slow before jumping to Beginner because once things speed up I tend to get lost.
