Great video! One of my biggest challenges early on was picking what to watch. I have very bad decision paralysis and I would spend way too long trying to decide which videos to watch. Now like 95% of the time I just sort by easy (no other filters) and watch whatever video is first (regardless of host, topic, assigned level category (like beginner, intermediate etc…), length, etc…). In addition to reducing decision fatigue it has also smoother out the process I think. I read a lot of about people finding going from beginner to intermediate hard but I came across my first intermediate video when I was only about 80 - 100 hours in and understood it fine. Similarly with advanced, I’m only at around 400 hours yet I’ve already watched 30+ advanced videos with no issue. It has made transitions basically a non-issue. I just slowly went from only seeing an intermediate video every once in a while to like half and half with beginner then to mostly intermediate and now to almost all intermediate with the occasional advanced one mixed in.
Hey i dont know why youtube recommended me your video but good luck!! Its probably because i like learning languages as well.. im brazilian, i never dedicated much to learning spanish because its quite similar to portuguese, but i speak english and french, trying to learn dutch and german now
Great tips! I recently hit 1500 hours of Spanish, and I did a lot of what you suggested to help me get that much input in about a year and a half. I set my browser's home page to Dreaming Spanish and stopped using Instagram. I also stopped playing video games to use that time for Spanish. P.S. The description says Soanish instead of Spanish.
Great video!!! 👍👍👍
Thabk you!

That's a great tip! I've started sorting by easy as well, and for me also it 100% takes away that decision fatigue.

Congrats on the 1500 hours! The browser home page idea is great and seems quite obvious now haha, I'm going to do that now. Thanks for the comment :)
I always put my phone on, "do not disturb" that for me is literally the difference is "night and day". That is the biggest distraction for me.
sometimes i read something in english as i do inpute in french so i try to get the best of both worlds. my native language is spanish
Sounds like an interesting approach!!
