Shoutout to you Rocky. I have a suggestion for what I think will will make you stand out and take even more of a lead as a Spanish tutor here on yt. Add a regular series or segment where you take it to the streets. Produce realistic conversations heard outside between people of the same and different nationalities. Let people see and hear conversations and accents in context, preferably out in the wild. Let the people to see and hear real and true conversation between Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Panamanians, Colombians, etc. in different difficulty levels, followed by your breakdowns. This is really what's lacking on yt and what many people really want to see and study from what I'm hearing. I'm in NYC, if you need to recruit the native speakers of these various nations to help you out with that, just let me know. But hop on that before the next man does because there a big void out there when it comes to authentic/spontaneous conversational listening especially with different accents.
This is a great talk. Every few months I need a reminder to keep going. Llevo un año aprendiendo español y no voy a parar acá. Debo de llegar al encima
Yes!! Let the people know!! 👏🏾👏🏾✨ Mimicking was the secret key that helped me speak fluently and develop rhythm and cadence. Just copycatting native speakers people and how they speak even when i didnt quite know exactly what they were saying trained my mouth to make the sounds and my ears to hear it
I love your Spanish Chameleon Paradox. I don't think any of us are perfectly fluent because language and it's meaning are constanly changing. I do think we "acquire" Spanish (or any language) based on the community we live in. Because you spoke Spanish, the Italian language ( a cousin language) gave you that new linguistic lense. It is because you are a linguist. Your brain connects the words. I grew up in Texas, and our Spanish here is Tex Mex and Mexican Spanish. I went to college and had to have a third language- so I chose Portuguese. So, when I speak Spanish people for some reason assume I am either Cuban or Portuguese. I am a black Texan female who grew up in a home where Spanish was spoken. Anyway, one of my neighbors spoke Italian. I speak Spanish. We talked all the time and perfectly understood each other. She has since passed, and I miss her. I grew up to be a teacher to help young people acquire my beautiful language- Spanish. Great video!!!
I was reading and doing the mimicking when you were interviewing your cousin and the words were on the screen I want more videos like that! It was very helpful
otro video nuevo de Rocky gracias 🙏🏽✨ I started watching your videos while you were on hiatus and they've really helped me a lot ❤ so glad you're back 🙏🏽
Voy a Meetups para practicar cada semana, pero todavía me falta la confidencia. Mi mamá y otra gente me dicen que ya sé cómo hablar pero todavía soy tímido. Después de llegué a cierto nivel, encontré que era más difícil seguir los hábitos de prácticar afuera esos Meetups. En este tiempo, no escucho música ni veo las series en español mucho. Estoy manteniendo, pero no ya estoy mejorando. Pero creo que si puedo forzarme hacer todas las cosas que estaba haciendo antes, puedo ganar fluidez pronto
You explained this so perfectly that i literally cant think of a way to say it better. Exactly how you described, when a native mistakes you for a native as well, it feels so satisfying just knowing how far you've come, and that rush of dopamine knowing that you have achieved the dream. Although another thing i like to add is that after these moments i let my guard down and get arrogant and start slacking off on my studies 😢
I finally have confidence in speaking after a native speaker at work said my spanish was really good! I was so happy, my friends before just said it was good but didn't explain how good it was... I took 4 years in high school, where they mostly have you retain words. Now, I have to learn how to collect my words faster in speech and how to retain all of it when I hear. Usually translating on Google what I think of saying helps. I am thinking of getting pimsleur!🎉
Que lo que hay? Gracias por los consejos. Lo necesité. Me sentí como mi mente para de aprendiendo. Y tuve demasiado años. Era perdido donde ir próxima pero mirando este video me ayuda en la próxima manera de mi viaje de lingüística.
What’s your best advice on How to avoid the speaking spanish when I have people constantly asking me if I speak Spanish or just talking to me in Spanish without asking first? I’m in the downloading phase and not ready to speak yet.
Just keep going, you probably have progressed, just don't realize it. I felt the same way but a few of my Spanish speaking customers and workers at my job that my Spanish had improved tremendously, even though I didn't think so. Remember, this takes time. At least five to seven years to get to a high intermediate level, advanced is even longer

Rocky I’m new to your channel I appreciate your videos I’m on my journey to learn Spanish with your help

Gracias, amigo
Thank you! I really needed this encouragement today bc I'm experiencing this right now!
Hey coach rocky. You used to teach me to ball as a young kid. Now to speak spanish as an adult. You the man 🤙🏽
Thanks for the content!
Que chimba :)
That term "Spanish Chameleon Paradox " is brilliant
Magical video ese ain’t even finish it yet but already know this video is special
Que lo que hay? Gracias por los consejos. Lo necesité. Me sentí como mi mente para de aprendiendo. Y tuve demasiado años. Era perdido donde ir próxima pero mirando este video me ayuda en la próxima manera de mi viaje de lingüística.
Awesome well done learning Italian 👍 did you learn Italian yourself?
This is exactly what I want I moved to PR almost 2yrs now and I want to be fluent in Spanish please help!!😢
Thought provoking video! But what is the paradox? I'm wondering if that word doesn't mean what you think it means.
That’s happened to me multiple times
What’s your best advice on How to avoid the speaking spanish when I have people constantly asking me if I speak Spanish or just talking to me in Spanish without asking first? I’m in the downloading phase and not ready to speak yet.
I've been doing all this for two years and still feel so frustrated with my progress. How did you learn Italian so quickly?
Just keep going, you probably have progressed, just don't realize it. I felt the same way but a few of my Spanish speaking customers and workers at my job that my Spanish had improved tremendously, even though I didn't think so. Remember, this takes time. At least five to seven years to get to a high intermediate level, advanced is even longer
