Great video! Especially for how succinct it is. If I ever need to introduce someone to DS again, I'll send them here. The one extra tip I like to mention, especially once you're just past Super Beginner videos, try using the Sort by Easy option and combining Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. This uses user rankings (the vote you get after watching a video) to assign numerical difficulty rankings to their videos. Just move up in difficulty as you understand more over time. There's a lot of crossover in difficulty of Beginner and Intermediate especially, with some harder Beginner videos (like older ones, before Pablo had figured out his technique) considerably more difficult than some easier Intermediate videos. This will smooth out progression some, on average. But of course, feel free to move up and down in difficulty to find videos you're interested in, as long as you're understanding them.
Thank you! and yeah, sorting by easy is an amazing tip. Eventually, there will be enough content on the platform and it will be sorted so that you can just just sort from easy and watch like that the entire way to complete fluency! haha
Haha thank you so much. I'll keep an eye on my inbox in case they want to message me 😂 and I have been following y'alls journey for a while! love your videos.
I am now at 1200 hours of Dreaming Spanish CI. I recently started doing CrossTalk. I am still waiting for the language to emerge naturally. I think the DS Roadmap is a little optomistic with the hours. Thanks for the video.
Even tho im not learning Spanish rn it is a language i wanna learn im learning German and i kept hearing about dreaming Spanish and comprehensible input and that what made me make a new yt account for German only videos and comprehensible videos but i always felt like I wasn’t learning anything but after seeing your video i will continue with the process but the thing im confused about is when i was on the sub Reddit i saw one post on how to watch the videos and they said try and get the gist of it but i do t understand what they mean by get the gist of the video but i wanna thank you for this video and i hope you do well in life and stuff and once im done learning German. Spanish,Russian,Chinese will 100% be the language i will learn next but with only comprehensible input
thank you so much for watching! and for, getting the gist just means that I am generally able to follow along with the overall story of what is happening. I don't necessarily need to understand all of the dialogue in a certain scene but if I can generally summarize what happened to myself ( like, "oh he was complaining to his roommate about the noise") than I know my brain is picking up stuff. You can also use something a little more specific than that, like the refold comprehension levels: refold.la/roadmap/stage-2/a/levels-of-comprehension/
So basically just immersion... I recommend Migaku, which is paid and language reactor or better said comprehensible input but the crosstalk is a fascinating, never heard about that
If you want to strictly follow the Dreaming Spanish method, no subtitles are recommended. Here's what their FAQ says on the subject: "Real-life speech doesn't come with subtitles! Even if you're in a learning environment, reading the subtitles distracts from the key activity of developing a mental image of the sounds of the language in your brain."
I feel so honored to be on the thumbnail haha!! I’m so glad our videos have helped you ❤
omg! 😭thank you for all your work! I started using Dreaming Spanish right before you joined the team and your videos have always been a highlight.
Hi Agustina :D
Dude your channel is a gold mine. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
The algo is sleeping on this one, this is the best short description of Dreaming in Spanish I've found so far.
Thank you so much! I hope it can be helpful for people just starting out.

This video is AMAZING!!!!! DS needs to hire you to make commercials for them...en serio! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Haha thank you so much. I'll keep an eye on my inbox in case they want to message me 😂

Where was this video 4 years ago? ❤❤❤
Haha we were the early adopters.

I love your videos! I've been following your journey for a while now!!!!
and I am planning on making a video about that exact topic at some point!
I find it way way too optimistic .
Great video!

Can vouch the method works. You properly acquire the language just as the natives do
So don’t use the subtitles in Spanish?
If you want to strictly follow the Dreaming Spanish method, no subtitles are recommended. Here's what their FAQ says on the subject: "Real-life speech doesn't come with subtitles!

I'm so tired of their omnipresent advertising. It's not a method, just a website. There are hundreds of websites/channels like that.
There are tons of great Spanish comprehensible input creators!
Can you share a few? I’m looking for other channels as well
@@ciarra0328 Spanish After Hours, Español con Juan, Story Learning Spanish, Spanish with Alma are a few great ones!
Don’t watch it!
Great video!
Great video!
Thank you!
