@@trsphats thank you! I am trying to stay motivated and remember my “why.” I think what we are doing for yourselves and the people we serve is awesome :-)
I had to sub when you said you was African American you are a women too. It’s hard to find black people and women that are learning Spanish. I have been teaching myself for two years off and on( more off than on lol) and just started listening to dreaming Spanish because I am being more serious with learning. Trying to be a polyglot and know 3 to four languages. I’m happy to hear your input and see if it really works. Thank you for sharing
@@oliviaswallow2112 let’s go! Sí, se puede! Jaja. As teachers I feel we have a lot to offer to the way we approach the learning languages. Interested to know about how you’re learning! :-) Would you mind exchanging emails? Would love to talk more about your progress and journey.
yaaaay congrats!! 🎉 really refreshing to see how you approach learning in a way that works for you, while incorporating DS along the way! what helps to actually keep going is what matters. and omg the way youre already so open to speaking, ahh goals hahah :') i'm always way too nervous about it, and some days i'm like i can speak! and other days im like i can't utter a word 😭 lol
@@xojaci Thank you much!! Yes, I agree! Whatever keeps us going is what works for us! Whenever something stops working, we can always try something else! I am nervous to speak English sometimes hahah, so I understand feeling nervous. Whenever you’re ready to speak, I am sure you’ll do great :-)
Nuestros experiencias son muy parecidas. Crecí en una área con hispanohablantes y aprendí así que pude conectarme con mis estudiantes / atletas. I didn’t watch Peppa Pig but learned a lot from watching SpongeBob en español lol. Sigue adelante!
@@jaredrahsaan are you a teacher also? How long did it take to become conversationally fluent? I have been doing SpongeBob also, but I find myself struggling at times due to the speed. Hopefully in the next few months I’ll move my way back up to Bob Esponja 😀
@@shespeakspanish I’m a strength and conditioning coach but have worked in high schools where I’ve had to teach classes. Conversationally, I’d say it took me about 6 months but I had somewhat of a foundation. I’ve been working in 🇩🇴 for 2 years now and definitely being here has helped a lot. & don’t forget you can slow the speed down on TH-cam!
You have been enjoying life, Mexico recently and Nicaragua, esooooo. When are we going to get that speaking progress video though...👀. Que no te de pena. Me ayudó mucho ver mi progreso así y nos encantaria verlo
Hey Mike, I'm a big admirer of your Spanish learning journey. I recently rewatched a couple of your early iTalki videos when you were around 7-18 months into studying. I noticed at this stage you were already speaking quite well but you weren't as smooth as you are now. I would like to know the practical steps you took (so I can emulate your example) to elevate your Spanish from this "intermediate level" to the level you have now?
My plan is to watch dreaming spanish videos while taking notes of words I dont know then look them up taking notes and then watch the same video again. Thats my plan everyone learns differently but I do like dreaming spanish even without taking the nots. I also am in day 128 using duolingo. I also have the book you showed in the video but I'm still on the first or second page. LOL Gotta start reading more.
@@ThePeachGirlDiaries hola amiga! Es bueno que estas aprendiendo español, especialmente porque tu esposo es de argentina! Tienes un gran razón para aprender. Buena suerte en tu viaje!
I’m also using other tools and speaking unlike Pablo suggest. Pablo isn’t focused on Krashen method he actually uses a method from that’s called automatic language growth the creator is Marvin brown I don’t think it’s a problem though because I’m speaking with tutors who can correct my pronunciation
@@cw8790 I am not knowledgeable about Marvin Brown’s theory, but I will look into that. Based on what I understand and what Pablo has on the DS website, he is also using Krashen’s theory of CI. I agree! I don’t think it is a problem to speak if you have feedback or a way of checking if what you are saying is being understood. Either way, awesome that you’re learning. :-) Buena suerte!
@@JoseLearnsSpanish it is an online program with tons of videos that use a theory called comprehensible input to maximize language learning! I would recommend checking it out. Lo es gratis!
I love your videos I am learning too. Keep going. I am learning so I can talk with my patients who are Mexican and can’t speak English.😊
@@trsphats thank you! I am trying to stay motivated and remember my “why.” I think what we are doing for yourselves and the people we serve is awesome :-)
I started learning Spanish a few years ago, thanks for posting this!
From Africa, been learning Spanish for 3 years now, comprehensible input works amazing
@@Ngida_ncan me alegro de que este método le haya funcionado. Estoy deseando ver mis progresos con el tiempo.

How are you going with this now? I know Pablo does not recommend taking notes at all, are you still doing that or not?
