Miguel, eres un profesor estupendo! Nunca he encontrado una persona tan organizada, diferenciada por paso a paso enseñar cosas tan complejo. Y me encanta tú pronunciación perfecta, es como música en mis orejas ;-). Muchísimas gracias por tu apoyo y esfuerza para tus estudiantes. Un buen día!
I would be interested in a video on your thoughts about the whole language learning journey. If I am correct you would (respectfully) disagree with Dreaming Spanish Pablo. Instead frontloading the process with phonetics, then CI alternating: no-subs, target language subs, bilingual subs, with CI using context diversity, then at a moderate ability transcription and flashcards. Sharing Pablo's view that you first learn to listen, then reading & speaking. But you recommend chorusing for speaking. I don't know you view on Crosstalk, or a roadmap of hours (other than it takes more than 3 months).
Hi! I've read entire books about language learning (or "acquisition", but that's splitting hairs). A summary of everything I've read would be: CI is the most important thing and yes, you need tons of CI. But none of the sources I've read mention any roadmap in terms of "CI hours". They instead use "hours of classroom instruction". I cover the number of hours in this video: th-cam.com/video/pREX1Mw5J2o/w-d-xo.html I've actually recommended DS to my students. I just tell them to use the videos... and nothing else. As far as I've found, the 600-1,000 hour "silent period" rule comes from the work of a military/linguist man working in Thailand who observed Americans learning Thai developed better pronunciation if they just shut up and listened to Thai for a thousand hours. However, I have found zero actual studies on this subject. In Krashen's book I only found one reference to the number of silent hours: 10. Just 10! And it was just an observation made by TPR teachers, not an actual recommendation. As an adult learner, there's no need to handicap yourself by not using your adult skills, such as reading and learning phonetics. I myself have accumulated a ridiculous number of CI hours in English over 30+ years, and yet it was only when I seriously started learning English phonetics a couple of years ago that I finally started realizing I wasn't making some important phonemic distinctions. No amount of CI can give you this, only actual serious study of pronunciation.
It does not matter which "format" you use as long as it's comprehensible input. If you are looking to gain NATIVE LIKE FLUIDITY you will need to listen the most with visual context, then read using your imagination and experience for the visual context, and finally speaking by repeating and in conversation to produce the language you are learning. I have spoken with Miguel and Pablo and they are both right in their approaches to language acquisition because both break the language down to comprehensible input in different ways.
A bit challenging when the audio prompt does not pronounce all the words: Such as: junto a ese auto becomes junto ese auto and de ese becomes dese. Certainly people drop letters and combine words when speaking but as a beginner doing this exercise it adds to the challenge. Overall and excellent exercise though.
Hi! Thank you for your comment. I carefully recorded and edited the audio with two goals: 1) Be neutral, with no dialectal features. 2) Be natural, not robotic. In other words, this is voiceover-style Spanish: Formal but natural. I've explained natural connected speech in these two videos: th-cam.com/video/VUELoKPdNoM/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/AWXi7co9wcQ/w-d-xo.html
With these flash cards, couldn’t someone just recognize the sound of the audio and answer based off of that instead of understanding what is being said?
Hi! If that happens it means you've already memorized the content of the card because you've been exposed to it so many times... And that's actually a good thing. It's kind of the secret purpose of these flash cards. To put some chunks of Spanish in your long-term memory.
Can we have more stories like the mysterious woman and helado please my friend? Thanks I love your channel

Hi I Watch your stories vídeos. But I am curios which Spanish is it in these stories latin american pr european.?
General Spanish. I'm editing a video about it.
A bit challenging when the audio prompt does not pronounce all the words: Such as: junto a ese auto becomes junto ese auto and de ese becomes dese. Certainly people drop letters and combine words when speaking but as a beginner doing this exercise it adds to the challenge. Overall and excellent exercise though.
