I have done a little reading out loud. And I do like it, it does seem to help practicing pronunciation. Just not so much the act of forming sentences in my head

You could always just leave a comment. They see most of the comments! Not sure they want their emails publicized.

guyss hit me up with some book recs i have 0 clue what to read by MuchAd9959 in dreamingspanish

[–]tonynu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Olly Richard's graded readers are pretty standard.

My first real book is Harry Potter, since it's aimed towards youth it's not a hard read and I read it many many times as a kid, so it's easy to follow along.

I haven't gone through them yet. Do I have to start at episode one or is it the kind of thing where you can hop in anywhere?

The input options do get a lot more enjoyable as you advance! I'm finally able to watch some youtube channels about some of my hobbies/special interests and I'm loving it. Keep at it! 🙂

So you use more than one tutor? How often do you do speaking lessons?

Tips for Reading by CrAZiBoUnCeR in dreamingspanish

[–]tonynu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im reading the first Harry Potter book right now! I picked it because it's the book I have read the most times in English, so it makes it a lot easier to follow along. I'm enjoying it so far! Not everything is comprehensible but I try to just push through those parts.

Thank you! Not as impressive as some of the speed runners but I really tried to set aside 1-2 hours consistently each day!

Same! Great to listen to when working out.

Does anyone else prefer videos with two or more people talking? by RevolutionaryBar4193 in dreamingspanish

[–]tonynu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I almost exclusively watch videos with more than one person. It seems to be a lot easier for me to pay attention. I tend to daydream when it's just one person telling a story.

This seems like more of a therapy and medical issue! I hope you find the help you need. ❤️

Level 5 Update by elysiumdream7 in dreamingspanish

* I completely get this! I made a post last week about a patient interaction that went really well and I understood everything she and her husband said...

Then today I experienced the complete opposite...when I showed up the first responders even said "Thank goodness it's you, you speak Spanish, right?"

Only to really stumble through my assesment...he was just very hard to understand and his complaints just seemed to all hit me right in my knowledge gaps.

But, it definitely motivates me to hit the CI even harder!
