I have been following the channel for a while now and the progress you have made is amazing!! it was great to hear about your plans to continue improving your Spanish, I feel like I have been at an intermediate level forever but it's important to keep going and challenge yourself :)
Que progreso más grande, Shane! Escucharte hablando español me encanta cada vez más. Tú vocabulario, fluidez, acento... todo he cambiado, mejorado mucho mucho. Enhorabuena! Te deseo que viajes a España y que hables con nativos en realidad, cara a cara! (Que es mi sueño secreto también :)) Un abrazo grande!
Crazy to see your improvement. It’s hard to start trying to improve when I doubt my ability to be consistent because of being so busy. Pero voy a tratar! Thanks for the inspiration
Qué interesante! I love what you said about studying comedy to try to improve your ability to play with the language. I'm looking forward to being able to - someday! - get to the point where I can meaningfully do the same.
@@ShaneGodliman Yeah, I wonder, what's your approach to various accents? Do you just ignore them, and watch/listen to whatever, or do you consciously try to improve your understanding of certain harder accents? Recently I've been trying to make an effort to listen to some more difficult accents even though I understand a lot less, but I'm not sure if that's a good approach.
@@boxingcompass yeah I mean I think it’s good to challenge yourself in general, I don’t necessarily select people specifically for accents at the moment but I have thought about spending some time trying to get to grips a bit more with Andalusian Spanish specifically in the future because I still struggle with some of those accents sometimes
Dois anos é muito tempo para mim! Vou aprender outras línguas após 600 horas de aprendizagem de português, mas continuarei a aprender todas as semanas apenas por menos tempo. Parabens para ti !
Hola! Me gusta ver tus videos porque estoy estudiando español también. Tienes tus clases con solo un profesor o tienes clases con profesores diferentes? Gracias
Gracias! He probado varios profesores a lo largo de mi aprendizaje, pero prefiero mantener uno o dos para que me vayan conociendo y sepan qué necesito mejorar y tal
¡Qué bueno! No voy a comparar mi progreso al tuyo, pero me gusta mucho ver qué es posible en solamente dos años, me das motivación. 😄 Si estás buscando otros „crossovers“, puedo sugerir el Podcast de Easy Spanish? 😂 (También es en el ámbito de idiomas, pero me gustaría mucho escucharte hablando con Iván y Paulina del Podcast, es mi podcast favorito para aprender español.)
Hola Shaun. Espero que estás bien. Puedo grabar más videos como este donde solo hablar en Español para nosotros que estamos aprendiendo el idioma. Podrian ayudarnos mucho. Gracias!
After how many hours of immersion did you jump into native content Shane? I've watched around 80 hours of Dreaming Spanish now, I am thinking about introducing it after another several dozen.
crap...my comment didn't make it :-( Well anyway, all I was saying was: ¡Enhorabuena! Also, since you mentioned wanting to have more options to play around with the languages, dunno if you'd enjoy this or not, but one thing I do (and I feel it has been helpful for me) is just to run little games in the background when speaking. It can be a list of specific words I force myself to use (basically " word bingo": you win if you place them all). So dunno, say I have a card with "cachondearse de alguien", "que me quiten lo bailao", "presumir" and "paella", then I'll try to squeeze those into the conversation somehow, regardless of what the topic is. Obviously you have to try to use them in a way that makes sense in context. Or it can be something more abstract like "words/expressions related to water/fire/flying/etc." and then I'll try to use as many of those words related to that theme as I can. Then there's the opposite, which is to use a list of prohibited words. So, for instance, if the topic was how I studied Spanish, maybe I'd say I can't use "trabajar", "estudiar", "empezar" and "español" and see how I can work my way around it. Anyway, they're just dumb little games I play but I figured I'd share because I feel they've been helpful for me. Basically just adding artificial restrictions that push me out of my comfort zone, and "gamifying" it coz I'm an overgrown child who likes to win at stupid games. ^^
I think “una reta” is a mix of “reto” and “meta”, who knows 😂🤷🏽♂️

Thank you! Yeah it’s just a question of patience and consistency 💪🏽
Algún día espero alcanzar tu nivel actual. Eres una inspiración en mi aprendizaje, Shane
Gracias Dennis!
Your Spanish is spectacular, Shane! Great job, you inspire me to work harder on my Portuguese.

Thanks! Yeah it can be difficult but it’s worth it!
Wow Shane ! You are doing brilliantly ! I understood perfectly all that you said 👍😀

It’s challenging but very fun! My comprehension still depends a lot on the comedian and where they’re from

I don’t know exactly how many hours but it was after about 2 months that I started trying to speak
Oyee , Tenemos la misma fecha de Examen Dele!
Suerte!
nice..how many hours are you after 2 years approx?
Thanks! Around 1250 right now
crap...my comment didn't make it :-(

I like the idea of gamifying it, thanks for the suggestions!
I have two years study English and not understand nothing. 🙄
Keep going!
