@@VampireBlood1986 I've learned a lot and am definitely understanding and speaking better, but I don't have many opportunities to practice, and I still have a lot to learn, so I wouldn't classify myself as fluent.
I am a big fan and premium subscriber of Dreaming Spanish. I highly recommend it. However, as regards the advice here from LearnCraft, DS does not provide transcripts and, in fact, preaches against using subtitles when watching Spanish media. That is one thing I do not go along with even though I am a DS-fan. I prefer both @LearnCraftSpanish and @SpanishInput as regards the use of subtitles..
This is great. I need to do more of this. Spoken Spanish has always been hard for me to understand. I must check out that free course. I remember the Accelerated Spanish podcast with Joel the Bee. Is he still around?
Very good video Timothy. Very good. I just don't care for the music in the background. I am a guitar teacher and once in a while I am in the student's home giving a lesson. I don't allow ANY outside noises if I can help it. No TVs for example. If there happens to be something outside the home I can't control, so be it. I want the student's attention solely on the material we're covering in that lesson. Just a suggestion.
The word “sido” means “been” when referring to what someone or something “has been”; it’s the participle form for the verb “ser” and it’s always following the verb “haber” to create the structure “have been”, “has been” or “had been” which can be used to talk about the past; e.g.: “I have been your friend” = “he sido tu amigo”; “She had been their teacher” = “Había sido su maestra”
Thanks, Timothy! I've completed your course and am now going to try to learn more Spanish following the steps you've outlined.
Was it all worth it? I'm starting it soon

Joel is taking a break right now but he'll be back! Stay tuned. :)

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. We will keep it in mind for future videos!
Dreaming Spanish helpful
Thanks for your response! Once you're dreaming in Spanish, you know things are progressing in the right direction!
I so identify with reading and realizing how little Spanish I know.😂
Thanks for watching! It happens, but luckily that can get better!
signed up and clicked on the podcast thing... just white screen - no warnings about platform or browser support - just white screen
Oh no! What url is giving you that? We've had lots of students sign up today so it seems to be working for most people.
@learncraftspanish the issue must have cleared up, as I can now use the site. Thanks!
Thanks, but my brain was too busy trying to filter out the background music!
Thank you for your feedback! We're making sure to use music better in our most recent videos.
Gracias Timothy, sido. Yo no se este palabra
