I agree. Learning Spanish is a sacrifice at times. Balance is key 🔑 I used to only listen to Spanish podcasts when I am in the car, but I started to miss my car dance sessions to my favorite (English) songs. Like you said, it feels good to just be able to enjoy what you normally enjoy in our native language. Thanks for the reminder to just enjoy the process. I am wishing balance for you! Love your videos, thanks for sharing your journey. 😊

Yasssss! Buen trabajo! 👏🏾 Estoy muy orgullosa de ti. Lo estás haciendo. Tú español suena genial. Eres una inspiración 🥹🙌🏾 Un día estaré donde tú estás en mi viaje. Gracias por compartiendo!

thanks for sharing; the main takeaway for me is that you’re making great progress 300ish hours is a drop in the bucket too. youre going to be an amazing spanish speaker before you know it

heyy, u have an ig or mail I can contact u with?

If people around the world want to living in chile and Chilean society. should understand our values not foreign traditions, Chileans traditions, if people want to be accepted by Chileans citizens.

Love your video as always! I have been having such as reading slump for a while now and it took me saying "okay im going to read this in english and im only going to read" instead of always forcing myself to read in another language or only listening to audiobooks when im making language resources for myself or whatever, giving the book my full attention without it being a "language learning activity" has brought back my enjoyment of reading. Since language learning is my favourite hobby too I often put pressure on myself to spend a lot of my free time doing languages, especially because there's a voice in my head saying "if you learn more languages you need more time for all of them" and honestly its important for me to also take a step back sometimes and remember being balanced in my life is actually what i need. This week I have been drawing for the first time in years, and funnily enough it has made me enjoy language learning more because now they both feel like hobbies rather than language learning being this all-encompassing monolith of a chore. Looking forward to your next video!! <3

Kittttyyyyy ❤ man I need this too, I need the spark back 😳 such a cute vlog!

i love your videos omg ur so sweet and gentle and very refreshing to watch😇😇😇 im finally fluent in spanish and have started french this month and i love watching your journey!! may God bless you in your journey🙏🏾♥️

Thank you for explaining the 300 hours thing. I have done a good amount of Spanish practice and I am at the point where I understand most high beginner videos (40-50) and some low intermediate at 27 hours… 😂

Colombianos, venezolanos, dominicanos etcétera etcétera can’t pronounce “R”‘a . Dolor becomes dolol. Ojo! Thats not Spanish. It’s Caribbean

hiciste un buen trabajo, estoy emocionada de ver más videos tuyos en español

la wea wena

Awwww thank you for watching my channel!! <3 good luck with chilean spanish! it's kind of difficult sometimes 💌

Thanks for making this video. Have been feeling like this lately and when I saw this video I was excited I wasn't alone! I had extremely low screen time before starting Spanish and now I feel guilty for how much time I spend just watching youtube. Thanks again

La casa en mango street is toda una trampa 😂 pocas palabras pero muy difícil lol.

so exciting to see you doing a whole video in spanish! i loved it + you sound so good! you def warmed up during the video ☺️. hope to see more of these!

¡noo! Pero que honor ser mencionada en este hermoso vídeo :') me siento profundamente agradecida por todo tu apoyo. Eres increíble, realmente inspiras :) un abrazo muy apretado 🩷​

JACI, tu español es precioso *---* 🩷​ Me encantó ver tu progreso durante el vídeo. Sentí tu nerviosismo y luego ¡pum! te soltaste y fue precioso 🩷​ sigue así, ¡¡lo estai haciendo bacán!!

Well done!

I definitely agree. The bit you said about wanting to just listen to nature on your walks was so accurate, I feel guilty for not using it for "immersion practice time", but I just want to listen to the quiet! For me the screen time / constant noise time really racks up not just because of immersion but also because all my cuecards and study is also done on the computer. Somedays I'm like "damn I really wish I had stuck to paper and pen". Even though I'm really happy with my set up, the screen time really bugs me. Loved the video!

Is Chilean Spanish the accent you are aiming to have later on? If so, then thats cool! I really like the dominican accent which is also being seen as a hard accent to understand/learn lol. goodluck to you either way, i like your vids!

Hola 👋🙂, de lo que nombraste en nivel básico destacaría "Pichintún" del CNTV Infantil, agregaría "Diego y Glot", "31 Minutos". Y para nivel intermedio-avanzado te recomendaría las series "Los 80", "El Reemplazante" y la película "Machuca". PS: I wrote in spanish, and I assume that you're familiar with the whole WEÓN and WEÁ things 😂 There is also a bilingual youtuber/tiktoker called "Maddie's Mundo", SUPER FLUENT in Chilean Spanish (she even has a chilean accent when she speaks, and that also means she speaks fast, so it would be in nivel avanzado) And remember, if you unblock the Chilean Spanish, all the other Spanish variants will be piece of cake, keep on the good work! 🙌🙂

you need to learn "LA WEA"..."Weon"..."que WEA"...y a lot of "WEA"

I just found your channel yesterday and I'm glad I did because I love seeing the journey of others. I am not learning Chilean Spanish specifically, but it is always good to have an ear for every country's way of speaking. Thanks for sharing!

Yessss. My new language exchange partner speaks Chilean Spanish, and I am constantly like, "Que?" haha. Although I am learning Mexican Spanish specifically, thank you for these resources (especially the beginner ones). I will check out Spanish with Josy and the CNTV Infantil. Muchas gracias :-)

Chilean Spanish… is funny but also mischeveous and sooo peculiar!!! As in cacha la wuea wueòn!… also caaaacha la wueaaa!…

Hola,les recomiendo este canal chileno de documentales antiguos(y algunos mas actuales) sobre chile y tiene de otros paises de la region tambien. youtube.com/@alsurdelmundo?si=11vXSA_s7Meef_uG th-cam.com/video/T9ajrfk7FNo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m83xywPqkPOv7FpK

I would say if you realy want to test your "chilean" Doblao will give you the final test.

Hola, tienes que ver "31 Minutos" de TVN (que bueno que te hayan gustado Los Pulentos, son mi infancia).

Bahahahaaaa the intro 🤣 I totally agree the dialect “difficulty” is totally just arbitrary based on what we’re used to lol. I haven’t watched it yet but a movie I have on my watch list is Chile ‘76. All the reviews were complaining about the Chilean accents sooooo, promising!? 😆

slayyyy ive wanted to learn chilean spanish for a while so i'm gonna give these a shot ty

Absolutely the same! I need so much quiet in my life. I am not and have never been someone who can listen to things all the time. Many years ago, when I was working in a job with a lot of people time, I would drive the hour to and from work in absolute silence because I couldn’t take any more input lol. It’s like my brain and consciousness are processing so much, it feels like I’m full and I cannot add anything else to it. AND I need the silence to recuperate and feel whole again. It’s definitely been challenging learning a language with CI and being around people (virtually) who can spend so much time taking in content. I think we’re just built differently! I need to do the dishes in silence thank you very much lol. I’ve also been focusing more on reading, but it’s been so hard to not feel guilty or like I should be listening to Spanish more often. Thank you for speaking to this!

omg you are so cute!! and i totally relate to what you're saying girl. i feel like the reason that i sometimes go long periods without having any type of spanish exposure is because i need the quiet!! i even get overwhelmed with english often so this shouldn't be very surprising to me haha. but i'd love to see how reading more affects your screen time! new subscriber 💖

Sweet nice work, Keep up the great work.

Congratulations!

Good job

Girl where did you watch winx club in Spanish??

2-4 hours a day? Girl, you are a low-key speedrunner to me, LOL! That is an incredible goal to meet every day. I completely understand what you mean by needing to shut out the noise. We will definitely need breaks in this language-learning journey, or we will experience tons of burnout. Sometimes, I feel that the attachment to the numbers on DS can be motivating, but I realize how obsessive I (and others that I have seen on different social media feeds) get in reaching a specific number. The number matters less if you aren't actively taking in the CI. I appreciate you making the video. Helps me reflect on my on journey <3

same, twins. i’ve been dealing with a lot of mental health “noise” in my head recently and sometimes, a lot of the times, the quiet is just better. but.. gotta get that input, haha. glad to know i’m not the only one here! we’ll figure it out for sure!!! xoxo

Right there with you my friend! I give myself breaks too but then I feel guilty. I was telling Greg that I have to get over the idea of increasing that almighty progress number! That total input number! curse that number! hahaha! It makes me feel guilty for not working on it more than I should. I'm even in a Spanish speaking country and it's still hard to be motivated ALL the time! I gave up on reaching my goal every day. As long as I do something I'm cool. My mental health is so much more important lately. Lately, I've been listening to music instead or I listen to frequencies (Yes, I am totally that type of person!) On the days, I have the energy, I go for it. On the other days, Spanish takes a back burner. It sucks cuz I know that it's delaying my learning but I have to live in the present moment. Good Luck girlie! Little by little, a little becomes a lot!

People really dont talk about it. Im married with kids and drive alot for work, so i use that time to get about an hour or two per day. If i miss some days im not hard on myself. that's just good for overall mental health. Find what works best for you and adjust as needed, learning a new language should be enjoyable.

For sureee lol. It didn’t bother me nearly as much when I had an anti social job, but when I started to actually have to speak to humans in my day to day (lol) I was like omg I’m so overstimulated I need a break

I love the way you speak, continue. Pushing this channel, you will grow fast post on a regular basis.

Breaks do a brain good sometimes. You ought to commend yourself every time you jump back in. With 600 hours under your belt, I am confident you'll do excellently when you get into your speaking groove! You are inspiring many without knowing. Also, love your pick of Coraline!

Congrats on the 600hrs~ It's so inspiring!! Keep going gurl :) ♡ + u're so kireiiiiii ps: can't wait to be able to watch winx club in español though haha

omg this is wonderful

Thank you 🔥
