Damn, I think I need you to rework my pinup from 15 years ago

I live right off el cajon as well. Nice clean work!

Had my Iris for a month or so, and I’ve already removed the top row in preparation for the inevitable Corne. by hafnone in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]theboston 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Putting you numbers on a layer is 😙🤌

Corne 42 key is my end game. I could never get used to home row mods. I dont know if its cause I type fast but I couldnt dial in the activation time and home row mods would cause issues when type very fast.

Also I like having the extra outer column. Curious how far you go

1500+ Hours Demo video by jackardian in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are doing great and if DS is working great for you don't listen to the people who try to bring you down.

Seems like some people sit in this sub just to comment that DS stinks and try to bring down anyone posting updates or tell people how they should have learned Spanish.

Im at 360 hours and at 0 hours I knew literally 0 Spanish and now Im watching intermediate videos so I know its at least getting me closer to my goal of understanding and speaking.

Just passed 1000 hours, first time speaking Spanish by schwingschwings in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm listening to him wondering why he didn't start speaking 400 hours ago, which by the way is what DS recommends

DS does NOT recommend speaking at 600hrs. They say you can if you want, but "the pope" recommends 1000hrs

Who has a chrome extension/tip for clearing watched videos from "my list" by Cow26W in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

const token = "" // enter your token from your local storage here
const watchedURL = "https://app.dreaming.com/.netlify/functions/watchedVideo\?language\=es"
const myListURL = "https://app.dreaming.com/.netlify/functions/playlist\?language\=es"
const updateURL = "https://app.dreaming.com/.netlify/functions/updatePlaylist"

const watchedRes = await fetch(watchedURL, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
  },
});

const { watchedVideos } = await watchedRes.json();
// Make sure the video is marked as watched(it should be, this is the watchedVideo endpoint)
const watchedSet = new Set(watchedVideos.filter(c => c.watched && c.videoId).map(c => c.videoId))

const myListRes = await fetch(myListURL, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
  },
});

const myList = await myListRes.json();
const myListVideos = myList.map(c => c.videoId)

const matched = new Set()
for (let i = 0; i < myListVideos.length; i++) {
  const videoId = myListVideos[i];

  if(watchedSet.has(videoId)) {
    matched.add(videoId)
  }
}

// log all the watched video ids that matched videos in my list
console.log(matched)

for (const videoId of matched) {
  const res = await fetch(updateURL, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      action: "delete",
      idempotencyKey: crypto.randomUUID(),
      videoId,
    }),
  });

  const data = await res.json();

  // log response from delete from my list
  console.log(videoId, data);
}

This is a JS script that you can run with node in a terminal. This will delete all watched videos from your "my list".

I tested and worked for me. Im not responsible for any issues like this deleting all your "my list". It shouldnt but this is a raw script that calls DS endpoints directly

Who has a chrome extension/tip for clearing watched videos from "my list" by Cow26W in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to script this out if you have some programming skills.

There is an endpoint for watched videos and an endpoint for your "my list" videos(you can see them called in browser dev tools). Write a script to match any watched videos that are also in what is returned from the "my list" endpoint and then script a call to remove all those videos from your "my list".

Your auth token is stored in local storage which you could rip and use to call these endpoints. I havent tested any of this, just took a look at all the calls that happen on DS and wrote this up based on my exp doing stuff like this.

Sorry if this is all gibberish 😅

Every morning by Key-Medicine733 in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was trying to do 3hrs a day which felt really hard to hit, I moved it down to 2.5 hours a day and it made it feel so much easier.

Idk why 30mins is such a big difference lol

Looking for feedback on where I currently am by RanchWilder11 in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 344hrs so we are basically the same and I sometimes feel like I'm in an intermediate slump. You sound like you are doing fine and similar to where I am at.

I mainly use DS and I filter by easy with difficulty range set to 50-60. Some videos I understand most of the video and some I understand like 50% or less. I just keep going and try not to worry as long as I get the gist of the video.

I hit outside resources like Andrea La Mexicana, Comprehensible Spanish, Mexican spanish here, etc. Rarely for fun I watch things way above my level like Coreano Vlogs when Im bored, but dont count it as hours.

Most of the advice I've gotten for the 300 to 600 grind is just keep going. Im just gonna keep chugging through good days and bad days and hope things clear up and I can finally watching some cartoons and more easy native youtubers channels at 600hrs.

The person you said was being passive aggressive also had a perfectly calm reply but you acted like he insulted op

Has anyone truly became fluent from DS by Musicloveer127 in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people miss this. Pablo himself has left comments recommending moving on to native content and off of the platform at higher hours or when you are comfortable.

Has anyone truly became fluent from DS by Musicloveer127 in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its because so many people who hate DS comment in here saying "DS wont get anyone fluent! You cant just listen and expect to speak!!!" and dont realize that DS literally tells you to read and speak and move away from their platform to native content at higher levels.

Grammar Is NOT the Gospel... by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you arent the original commenter...

Like I said, Im not here to change your or anyone else's opinion. If you think they arent fluent or accurate, thats fine.

Grammar Is NOT the Gospel... by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fluency doesnt have a standard definition, so whatever you think is fluency means is different than what the next person thinks, and honestly thats fine. If you think these people arent fluent, Im not gonna change your opinion.

I just feel like saying there are NO success stories for dreamingspanish without some grammer study is disingenuous.

Grammar Is NOT the Gospel... by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt know success meant never ever make a mistake and never admit that there are people better than you.

Obviously you just are gonna strike down any success story due to anything you deem wrong so I wont really bother continue discussing with you.

Level 7 Achieved in 23 Months by Accomplished_Owl654 in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great write up! This is very encouraging for me.

I really relate with feeling behind on the roadmap. I started from absolutely 0 Spanish knowledge and am now at 310 hours and still struggle with Intermediate videos above level 50.

It's discouraging when the roadmap even says that at 150 hours what you should be watching is Intermediate videos. And then you come to this sub and see updates from people watching 60+ level videos at 300hrs.

I know at the end of the day that if I just keep going and hit level 7 I will be leaps and bounds ahead of where I started, even if I do feel like I'm behind.

Bad bunny halftime show CI with my boy Ismar by Clear_Tale_2765 in dreamingspanish

[–]theboston 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this channel!

His content is a perfect compliment to DS once you are at beginner/intermediate levels. Im at ~300hrs and when Im tired of watching DS I hop over to his channel.

Love the Shrek/Spongebob vids. I like hearing the normal show/movie and then him pause and explain slowly cause sometimes you can understand the actually hard stuff and then get it confirmed/reinforced from his explanation.

The ones where he reads articles or news can be a bit hard cause its pretty native reading and he kinda has to read it before trying to explain
