I woke up and watched the entire video. Great overview. Very inspiring. Maintaining my daily streak and doing at least 20 minutes a day has inspired me a lot. It’s really nice knowing that I don’t have to actively do anything to improve in my target language. At first it was a slog but now I really look forward to doing as much listening as I can everyday
Thanks for sharing your story!! This is super inspirational for me. Also there was a ton of good advice for learner content! I also started binging Luisito Communica at around 250hrs. I like his channel a lot. His GF Ary Tenorio is also very good, especially for me since I am focused on learning Caribbean Spanish more since most of the people I meet and interact with here in the US are from these countries. If you've heard of any good YT channels or podcasts with these accents/dialects I'd be super interested in learning about them because I am struggling a bit to find interesting content from countries like DR PR Venezuela Cuba Panama etc.. GL on your continued language learning journey!!!
I don't know of many channels or podcasts from that region. I would recommend asking in the Dreaming Spanish Discord server. However, I do know of Ducktape and 3Peso, which are like Buzzfeed and Jubilee respectively. I also know of the podcast Wilferland. All three are Dominican.
Hey, great video man. Really appreciate hearing from someone else's experience before starting the journey with comprehensible input myself. Quick question regarding accents. Should I stick to only 1 accent from the start (Mexican, Colombian, Argentinian etc)? Or can i just mix and match and focus on a single one later? Around how many hours until you should pick an accent? Thanks
It doesn't matter what kind of Spanish you listen to initially! I recommend listening to everything until you have a low intermediate level. I also recommend continuing to watch content from other regions if you see something that interests you; there's no need to ONLY listen to one kind of Spanish. I started focusing on content from Mexico at 300 hours.
31:55 - i specifically remembered the youtuber mike ben using that glove analogy so i went and found the video again, its called "How Do You Know When You Are Fluent In Spanish? (Or Any Language) - I Am Fluent Now!" matt vs japan might have also said it but idk
Maybe this will sound silly from a stranger, but I’m proud of you! Really amazing!

Also great job and thanks for making this

Excellent. Very grateful that you decided to do this in English. I'm looking forward to hearing about your ongoing journey with languages.

Also one thing I didn't catch... How long did it take you to get this far after you started Dreaming Spanish?
If you're asking how long it took me to reach 2,000 hours of Spanish in months and years, it took me about 2 years.
@@NiyonLearns yup that exactly thanks!
