I'm 60 years old, and very motivated to learn Spanish for work. I'm learning on my own using audiobooks. I just finished the 1st Paul Noble program and the 1st Pimsleur program for conversational Spanish. Both are very similar in structure, and the method they use is what you called recycling by making learners repeating the same words or phrases again and again. I do think recycling is effective. I'm surprised by how quickly I could speak simple sentences, but my comprehension is understandably low. I'm moving to the 2nd level next. I am also reading a dual language book of dialogues, with audio, in an attempt to gain more vocabulary and practical phrases, which in concept is similar to your suggestion of reading movie subtitles. I prefer more structured instruction, and have found the Great Courses, free & online, via the library apps, Hoopla and Kanopy. I'm so very impressed with your English, and I appreciated the tips!
@The Language Scientist I believe Wondrium is related to Great Courses, but they each have their own website. I live in the US, and each library buys different licensing rights. Mine offers online courses for many languages, including Spanish I and II, which is the equivalent of one-year freshman college-level. I'm mentioning these free library resources for those interested: Libby, Hoopla and Kanopy. Note that not all libraries have access to them.
The idea to create a spaced repetition app to help language learners is a fabulous idea! I believe listening is the best way into a language. There’s little use for a language if you can't speak or understand it! I have a channel mostly in Spanish for Spanish English language learners. Your videos are great!
your english is very clearly. i can understand all word that you use in this video. but i cant understan you what you say about topic. i couldnt understand what you say through this video. i think my level law still
Great Video and Content 👍 do you have any video about getting better in pronounciation - how did you get - at least in my view - so good in pronounciation in English - just listening or did you some sort of shadowing tech ? Did you upload any video referring to this topic ? Did not find yet. Thanks in advance for any help 👍
Your English is excellent, great job!
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. Are you using The Great Courses (isn't it Wondrium now?)? They have a Spanish course?

Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Lois, the app sounds exactly like what I need to improve my Korean listening comprehension. Let us know when it becomes available. 😊
Sure will!
