EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Thank you for your input!! I have found myself freezing over the phone when trying to speak in Spanish. And I have know my friend for over 10 years. He is a Spanish speaker, originally from Brooklyn. But this is our first time in trying to speak Spanish together. LOL
@@spyderj3756 jaja keep at it my friend. I'm so happy that I can help you out! I have no doubt you will master Spanish :)
@@SpeakSpanishFaster your program is actually fun brother!
I really want to learn Spanish, but how do I know if this is legit

@@raindrop124 😂 #blessed
I am so fucking sick of this "meme."
@@ジョジョさま ok
🤣🤣
I thought I was trippin when I started dreaming in Spanish, lol.
Exactly! I had a dream where this guy was whispering Spanish in my ear but I didn’t know shit about what he was trying to tell me though😂.
no for real! i just dreamt in spanish last night 😂
how long did it take you do to that ?
Man i have been dreaming in Spanish lately but i feel like im still learning cuz i don’t know what them people in my dream was sayin to me 😂😂😂
I did for the first time last night. I told someone the chips they were sharing were too salty. ...I don't think I've ever tasted in my dream either....lol
Just a few weeks ago I found myself actually listening to Spanish and understanding it without translating to English in my head. And when I read, I used to read the Spanish translated to English in my head but I just found myself reading in Spanish and understanding without having to put it into English. I don’t know how but it just happened and now I feel more comfortable listening to Spanish now
This happened to me two day’s ago after years of learning Spanish in school....so weird. It just clicks now.
It’s starting to click for me too. Idk how.
The brain is a wonderful tool
How long did this take?
@@toktok5774 how long did this take?
Talking to yourself is one of the best techniques you can do to accelerate your way to fluency. I constantly did this when learning Spanish. And attaching meaning/images to words I was learning. And also learning words in context. We’re on the same page brother. This is the natural way of learning a language. Deliberate, strategic practice.
1.listen & read comprensible input
2.consciously force yourself to think in Spanish (start simple)
• example : how to say "work" in Spanish?
3.talk to yourself
4.use images to memorise words and learn in context
Thank you Rocky, Great tips
Saludos
The night I dreamt in Spanish was a monumental moment. I was so stoked when I woke up. I knew I had finally levelled up.
When I'm back in Mexico with my wife's family, I find tequila helps--It breaks the translation machinery in your head and forces you to relax into the language you have already acquired. Needless to say, too much will have the opposite effect and you may just end up making an ass of yourself. Great post Rocky.
Thanks my friend! It's actually very true that alcohol does that to your language speaking skills!
Im secretly learning spanish so I can tell if my girls family is talking shit about me
As long as they're offering unlimited Salsa and lime then don't sweat it 🤛
They are talking shit about you. EVERY girl’s family talks shit about the bf.
But who cares. Just be you hombre.
Maravillosa jugada!
Haha
😂
That’s why I like learning spanish through TV & movies , I’ve been watching “Nicky Jam” on Netflix writing down all the subtitles & studying each episode ! It’s been teaching me SO MUCH Puerto Rican slang & phrases that’s been helping me ALOT with understanding my Caribbean spanish friends
Haha I do the same thing. I thought I was the one who wrote down subtitles.
N I C K nicky nicky nicky Jam
yooo i watch santonia sometimes and other random shows in spanish but now i gotta check this show out
@@gabbyd3267 what other spanish shows?
I can now understand Spanish sentences and conversation from videos I watch without reading subtitles. I just listen to it. Estoy aprendiendo de español durante aproximadamente dos mes. I have a lot to learn, but it's nice to feel and to know that I can now comprehend the language even though I'm studying all by myself.
That's when you hit the next level. Felicidades.
@@Snk13_ty ¡Muchas gracias a usted! 😁
Two months that’s amazing your doing great!!!
Dios mio, dos meses? He aprendido español por 8 meses y todavía necesito traducirlo en inglés.
Pero no tengo mucho tiempo para estudiar, con la escuela y el fútbol y las tareas. Puedo estudiar por aproximadamente un o dos horas si pruebo.
thank you for this video. im a "no sabo" kid and im focusing on learning spanish so i can teach my future children. i want them to connect with their family (that do speak spanish) and with their culture 🤍 im super hard on myself when i dont learn things right away but your video made me realize it is a process and i should be patient and focused
¿Tu puedes hablar ahora?
I stg this is no joke probably the most help and best tips I have gotten jn over 3 years of learning spanish.
Thanks Brad that's great to know!
So true! I had a few dreams in Spanish.
Buen consejos! Uso los imagenes de las palabras porque yo leo mejor que hablo. Mi practica escuchando no es buena.😩
I am fluent in ASL. I really enjoy practicing with the songs on radio. I am driving down the road, with my hands flying to music.
I am glad I am glad I am not the only one interviewing myself in other languages.
In my Spanish class, we just learn singular vocab words and conjugations. I have learned so much more by using phrases with my parents.
I did an interview with myself using a deep voice as the interviewer and a higher voice as the interviewee. I played it back and made a couple more. Played them back and was pretty pleased. Yes! Talk to yourself because it’s great practice. Ask yourself all kinds of questions and then answer, using the conjunctions and the prepositional phrases to link sentences together. You know, “fillers”. You will have an awesome time doing this exercise and when you do it daily, you can go practice with real natives in their places of business when you go to buy groceries or sports merch, or whatever! It’s fun!
Español ha abierto muchas oportunidades para me. Tengo agraciado para vos
Come back coach rock I beg😔
Didn’t he use to basketball tutorials
my spanish learning journey has phases ... my strong point has always been reading and writing in Spanish , then speaking it then all of a sudden got better. Now i’m having to work a lot on my listening in spanish conversation . But then one day my friend from Honduras was voice noting me in only spanish and we do this every day now ... i understood almost everything he said .... and i was amazed and cudnt figure out how this was happening 🤯. i do need to brush up listening in convos with spanish speakers from all different countries tho, as i think i got used to my Honduran friends accent the most.
But it went from minimal in all mentioned aspects and then one day i realised i was just better at these things and my native spanish peers noticed and all mentioned this to me ..... mi español es mejor ahora.
i had my first dream in Spanish a couple weeks ago. That was very strange to me ... Hasn’t happened since , but it’s funny you mentioned this as i didn’t think it meant a lot.
Thanks for your tips on this video . 😊👌🏾
I had my very first dream in Spanish two weeks ago. Tengo mi primera sueño en español hace dos semanas!
I talk to myself and my cats all the time in Spanish ...haha...when I am doing that and come to a phrase or word I don't know, I will look it up and write it down.
Nah same lmao and my cat understands me too lol 💀😭
Images y frases me ayudan mucho durante mi proceso de aprendiendo español. Son muy importantes. Muchas Gracias Por su ayuda Maestro 💪🏽
I have deviated some from your plan. I am writing down each phrase about 50 times. I am then going to make flash cards of each phrase with the translation on back and randomly select them to test myself. I am strong on some but weak on others. I will work on those I struggle with the hardest. Keep on keeping on. I am and have learned a great deal. Great classes.
I’m in the very beginning stages of learning Spanish. I have a tutor, using Duolingo, listening to music, listening to my Spanish co workers and your videos. I’m trying to think Spanish
Thank you for making these videos. I picked learning Spanish back up two weeks ago and I always refer to your videos when I’m confused on a subject to get it cleared it. :)
Thanks so much for watching! Glad to see you picked it back up!
Love your videos! Keep up the hard work, you are helping a lot of people. Especially in these tough times, learning Spanish is really therapeutic for me ❤️
Thanks so much! I'm glad I could help you. Stay focused my friend!

Bro I never comment on RUclips but you’ve helped me a lot man, I appreciate. Saludos desde Holanda, pais bajo
Muchas gracias hermano! I'm happy I could help you :)!
Gracias por este video Rocky. He llegado a un punto en el que traduzco a mi lengua materna inmediatamente. en todo caso, se ha convertido más en una muleta que en un beneficio. Estoy tratando de pensar en español pero hasta ahora no lo logro. Funcionó solo el 5% del tiempo.
Is that a coffee mug for "The Office"??? If so, I am loving you even more! Thank you for your great videos!
Excellent!!!!😊
a veces es divertido aprender a hablar tu propio idioma
jaja
Rocky- you are Rad. I'm so inspired. I speak a bit of Spanish. I'd say I can read and understand more than I can speak. A video like this hits the nail on the head though. I do still constantly find myself doing exactly this. Hearing something in Spanish, translating to english and then trying to figure out how to respond in Spanish. This video helped give me tips to immerse and try to overcome this. I do definitely do one of the step. I only speak to my cat in Spanish, and because I am in a long distance relationship with someone who knows very little english, I find myself speaking to myself in Spanish and practicing things I'd like talk about with him so i can have a decent conversation without using translation apps.
I have dreamed in Spanish and I’m not close to fluent sir 😂 it is always on my mind tho as I’m learning 🙃
Came here bc I have befriended a new family. From Cuba to Santo domingo and also Mexican. I kno some words and that reason they took to me very well and also spoke in Spanish and english. I want to actually converse and feel normal lol..
I luv them so much bc strangers treated me better than blood and those I thought were my friends.. whew they even brought me a bday cake and invited me to their homes and also want me to be financially stable they are showing me ways to help build my credit an make a better way for my family and leave something for my child n GRANDCHILD..
My only wish is knowing them earlier but god places ppl in your life at certain times whether you seek GROWTH or whether they are there only for lessons. I'm forever grateful
I'll give you a helping hand in your learning process if you're in need of it.
Great video
Sounds so obvious when you say it: remember phrases, not words. I think this is what I've been doing wrong, and why it's so hard to speak. Thanks. I translate in my head to speak, but not to listen. I hear in phrases, but learn in individual words. That's a huge difference.
Good advice, thank you!
Holaaaa from Vietnam. I'm on my way to achive Spanish and randomly found your videos. They are really really helpful & easy to understand. Will try to practice listening to Spanish. By the way i leanred French years ago and I realized that these two languages are somehow similar. That helps me a lot as well. Muchas gracias ^^. Will keep supporting you and your videos
Do some listening comprehension videos. This was very informative also.
Glad to hear this, since I'd started doing it naturally, the "fake" conversations. Glad to know I am not alone!
You Nailed It On Tha Head In 1st 30 Seconds,Ya Right Don't Be OverThinker.....🇨🇺😷🇨🇺💯🧠💯🇨🇺😷🇨🇺
I’m finding now that I sometimes spell an English word in the Spanish form, for example I will only use one ‘m’ in the middle of a word when I should be using two. I think it is a good thing so long as I correct it.
Yes!! I've been having the same problem lol, I keep spelling english words how they sound or like their spanish counterparts and it can be very draining at times when I genuinely can't remember how to spell something in english 🤣
Wow.. I just broke down, everything you said in this video my Spanish instructor said this to me in class!!!! She stressed phrases. Thank you so much.. you’re amazing!!!! Watching (and subscribing) your channel is just what I need!!!!! Gracias 🙏
You have a super talent to teach and encourage us all to learn in an interesting way.
I appreciate that Joanne! Thanks so much!
I am working on learning Spanish. I have been at it off and on for a while. Over 4 months ago, I picked it back up and have been studying it daily. I do Duolingo daily but I always turn my phone side ways to listen. I try hard at not translating so there are times I just pick up context clues and get the sentence right. The biggest issue I had was the linking of words. Use to drive me crazy. I then researched and found the rules on linking and dipthongs. After I do my normal studying, I now finish my study off every night listen to you. I also use my Talk Now CD which has a game that times you and score you based on how fast you click on what it says before the screen changes. It was addictive but I can now remember all those words without translating. Keep up the good work.
Use baselang
I haven't seen one of your videos on which I didn't hit the thumbs up! I just subscribed a few weeks ago and I've been all over your page since I came across your channel
I remember you used to give me tips on my b-ball handles now you helping me with my Spanish too. Yo you really do it all! Good shit my guy👏🏾🔥
Just completed the book by Kevin Horsely, thanks for recommending!
Soy española y hace un par de días descubrí tu canal y de verdad que me encanta!! Es genial cómo explicas un idioma que puede parecer tan complicado para los extranjeros como el español y tú desde luego lo haces más fácil de entender! Además que lo que dices en este vídeo es completamente cierto!! Yo también pasé por todos esos procesos y consejos para mejorar mi nivel de inglés. Disfruto y aprendo mucho viendo tus vídeos !! Yoru're doing amazing!! never stop doing these incredible videos, Saludos desde España!! ;)
Blanca MUCHAS GRACIAS! De verdad, tus palabras me tocan el corazón. Estoy tan feliz que los verdaderos hispano hablantes les gustan mis videos también. I will keep doing my best for you and the others :) Thanks again.
Ndeah que decía
You just explained everything that goes on in my head. I translate from spanish to english and back to spanish. When I have a conversation in spanish I speak very slow. I know the words but its hard to put into sentences.
hola coach please give me some layup drills mucho gracias 🙏🏽
SOY UN CHINO QUE ESTOY APRENDIENDO ESPANOL Y INGLES POR UNOS ANOS . ES BUENO QUE USTED AVECES HABLA ESPANOL Y INGLES EN LO MISMO VIDEO

Just found your channel. Now subscribed , Liked, & Bell! Well done, great tips here. I 've always wanted to speak to my neighbours' dog in spanish ! Cheers, Dk.
I'm using this video for thinking in english because I talk spanish XD
But i think the tips are good for both languages.
Gracias por ver amigo :)
@@SpeakSpanishFaster Gracias hablando español rápido XD.
Thank you sir i failed the interview last night but listening to you i again start believing in me
All the best -- you got this!
Thanks for the content, hopefully I can finally grasp the language
This is a great video. This is my biggest problem. When I speak to my Spanish speaking friends my spanish voice in my head is so slow so that I freeze completely. I’m thinking English, trying to translate it in Spanish. I got my Spanish friend looking at me like: Well??? I get nervous and say bien, bien. Lol 😂 I get so frustrated I give up. I feel embarrassed. These tips are going to help me tremendously. Thx!!!
Estoy tratando para dejar traducir ingles a español en mi cabeza.
Muy dificil pero debo hacerlo para puedo mejorar.
WOW!!! I was thinking in Spanish over the summer. Eran Scripturas de la Bíblia. That came from my head just now. I am probably wrong, though..
Gracias por sus videos; los comparto con mis alumnos para que puedan mejor aprender y entender la lengua española.
Muchas gracias :)
This is excellent stuff and will really help me. I realized a lot of it I’ve already been doing or already knew, but now I can be even more focused and intentional about it. I am also an art teacher and these methods can also be useful to pass on in general forms of teaching. I love your teaching approach. Thanks from Albuquerque NM.
Rocky, love your videos man. You apply logic to the language. Its exactly what I need 💯💯
this was very satisfying...thank you very much :)
Baselang help me tremendously
This was very helpful. Muchas gracias
Great tips Rocky, I'm gonna stay with you on this channel keep up the good work man
Soy hablante nativa de español y deseo aprender inglés
el inglés es más difícil de aprender que el español
El español es mi lengua nativa pero no se por qué razón aplico todos tus consejos y los uso en mi inglés.
Estos consejos son útiles para aprender cualquier idioma que eliges.
Very helpful, thank you.
Ive had a year of Spanish at school and I gotta say we haven't learned much, only the basics for a whole year so I'm challenging myself to learn more Spanish than at school in only the summer vacation since my Spanish teacher ain't that good at teaching spanish tbh
Great practical tips! Muchísimas 💜
esto ayudó mucho gracias
Do you also speak Italian? LOL. Love the blue on you. Your video hits home! I need to be around Spanish speakers more, but til then I'll use your tips and make an appointment with myself.
haha yes I do :) I love Italian! Thanks so much!
You are ace man!!! Thank you so much for your insights & teaching... So appreciated!
Thank you so much for this video, I am trying very hard to learn spanish fluently. My issue is where I live there is a lot of dialects of spanish ie: Dominica, PR, Mexico , CentralAmerica(Honduras/Ecuador). Where should I start? I have more or less chosen Mexico because it borders here.
Again thank you for the video!
This is so helpful thank you so so so much
Great advice
Información excelente, ayudando mucho, gracias señor!!!!
I have been watching your videos for about one year. About 2 months ago. I started watching shows with Spanish subtitles. Mostly on Amazon Prime. Amazon Primes's Spanish subtitles, is wrong about 25 percent of the time. Which for me is great because, I know the translation is wrong. Unfortunately for others trying to learn Spanish or maybe English. This could be a hindrance for them.
Great video Rocky! It is so true that you need to start talking to yourself which others have advised me to do. May I ask what microphone setup you use?
Hey Edward, honestly I've had this set up for years since I started doing music nearly a decade ago but I have a simple condenser mic that hooks into a m-audio (not sure if they even sell these any more.) I record and edit all my vocals on Pro Tools.
Dreaming in Spanish ☺️
As soon as he mentioned “unlimited memory” helping him I went and bought the book off of Amazon 😂 thanks for the great videos.
Fantastic! That book is awesome :)
Do you offer private tutoring lessons?
Thank you Rocky for this.
These are the best tips I've seen, thank you so much! 😊
No problem Sam, thanks so much for watching!
Yeah I can make few sentences in Spanish (español) but not communication yet. I can't roll my r's either. I have been using Duolingo because I have been home the whole time. I live in Ontario, Califoria. There's a lot of Spanish speakers in California. It's just that my family speaks English. That's why it's takimg longer for me to learn Spanish but I'm trying to learn it the best I can.
Bien hecho rocky
If you dream in Spanish but didn't know what they were saying, does that count as some improvement? 😜
This channel is very helpful. Just discovered as I'm taking up the language more seriously than before. What is the average time it takes to become bilingual?
Lol it does count as improvement because subconsciously you are recognizing words and patterns in Spanish. There really is no time limit. It depends how much you practice. I would say it's more of an hours thing. Let's say it takes like 300-500 hours to be fluent, depending on what language/s you already speak. So if you studied 10 minutes a day vs. 1 hour a day it makes a big difference. Just one hour a day for a just a year and you would see CRAZY progression.
@@SpeakSpanishFaster Muchismo Gracias!
@@kaym.2854 Muy importante la constancia.
No son los mismo 300 horas repartidas en palizas de 7 horas un día a la semana que 1 hora cada día de la semana.
Thanks Sir
Sir very nice truly true as I learned English now in process to learn Spanish
I need personal one on one help Rocky! I am just like you...I am a Americanized Puerto Rican. My dad is from Old San Juan & has family in/near Santurce. My mom is from Suriname South America. I can under some of my latino side but not enough to know how to respond properly and not even a mini conversation in spanish. I need some help because I don't have any of my family around me and no friends that speak spanish. I am the only member from my latino family that lives in America. I live in a all white neighborhood.
This video is so helpful! Mucho gracias ❣️
Of course! Thanks for watching :)
Muchas gracias hermano por ayudarme:) soy principiante en espanol y de donde eres?
someone to speak continuously in English and Spanish? I am a native of Spanish and I need communication with someone who is a native of English, it would be a very good idea, since we can share ideas and learn a lot
Hi! I’m a native English speaker from the US and I’m learning Spanish. It could be cool for us to talk to each other and learn from each other.
I appreciate these useful tips.
Thank you!
Glad it was helpful Daniel!
