Do you plan on starting to read in Spanish?

Thanks for the continued inspiration to try and read in Spanish! I recently started reading the news every day in Spanish, and I also started reading my first “real” book in Spanish (i.e. not a graded reader or other material intended for learning Spanish). I’m currently reading “Nada es imposible” by Kilian Jornet, which I actually purchased after watching one of Steve Kaufman’s videos in which he suggests reading material in your target language that interests you the most. Being familiar with Kilian Jornet’s life and accomplishments before I started the book has definitely helped me. It definitely isn’t the easiest read, but I just can’t seem to get excited about reading fiction haha. Really enjoying the content, thanks again!

I am currently reading „Percy Jackson“ in Spanish, because I already know the book and sometimes even remember specific sentences and can understand what the words mean just because I remember the translation 😂😅 It takes forever, but hey - I am reading in Spanish! 🥳😂 My biggest challenge is finding the book though. I usually don‘t buy books, but my library has no spanish books and barely even books in english, so foreign language books are hard to find. I guess buying is the only real option there 🤷🏼‍♀️😅

Thanks for using time stamps! Now I can easily reference this again-and I’ll want to because it’s easy!

… and you are not a teacher! This is so amazing! You nailed it.

Thank you so much! I'm glad I watched this video

Thank you so much for making these videos. They’re so helpful and mirror my Spanish learning journey exactly. Love the content, presentation and detail. Very inspirational! Thank you!

Great tips and video - muchisimas gracias Shane 👍

Amazing video! Keep up the great content! 👍👌👊

Yo escuchando el video para practicar el ingles 😅 El español es facil, si se puede 👌🏻

Superior video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

Your accent in Spanish made me think you were American. What a mind blower that way! Great video-thank you!

Great tips and video thanks Shane! I’m going to start with short stories in Spanish 😊

You’ve inspired me to read a book, thank you

I'm reading El curioso incidente del perro a medianoche at the moment. It was recommended as a good first Spanish language book to read as it's from the perspective of an autistic boy and the chapters are quite short. I not very far in but enjoying it so far. Thanks for the tips and recommendations 😊

Realmente, un buen consejo práctico y útil….como siempre

I’m reading all the Roald Dahl books at the moment! Las Brujas es mi favorito 🧙🏻‍♀️

Hey Shane, I'm a new subscriber and I really love your content! I've been learning Colombian Spanish for about three months now and I have a feeling that following your suggestions will significantly improve my current routine. This might be a little ambitious lol but I'm going to give Harry Potter a try. When reading, do you recommend doing it aloud with the audio? The audiobook seems to be a little fast paced lol Thanks in advance for your response and keep up the great work!!!! Everyone needs to see these vids!

I've read 'Lola Lago, detective' There are 7 books in the series ranging from A1 to B1, they also come with audio cd's. They're only small books about 50 odd pages each but very good!

Currently reading Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens in Spanish

I own an ebook version of “Short Stories in Spanish” and I’ll definitely try reading it soon. My friend bought me the Spanish version of “I am not your perfect Mexican daughter,” and I can’t wait to try it, but I’ve been feeling like it might be a bit too difficult for me at the moment. Your advise helped me decide what steps to take next for reading in Spanish, thanks for making the video

Bueno entendí algunas frases.. ☺

Hola Shane. ¡Amo tu canal! I spent the majority of quarantine immersing in and learning Tagalog(Filipino) and I'm currently doing the same in Spanish. So it's really encouraging to see fellow native English speakers exploring and making such tremendous process in foreign languages. Also I have to ask, are we gonna get more OmeTV videos from you? Those are my fav haha

Estoy leyendo Como Agua Para Chocolate de Laura Esquivel, y estoy de acuerdo contigo en que a veces solo tienes que empezar con un libro de nivel nativo. Aunque hay mucho vocabulario mexicano que no es familiar y leo lentamente, lo aprenderé todo! Y también para leer en voz alta ha mejorado mi acento por millas!

Thanku for your video I am indian but i want to learn Spanish because i love this language ☺️☺️💯💯 Will you help me more ?

I'm reading Una chica triste

I am reading Roald Dahl books and also the books you mentioned by Juan Fernández. Something else I am doing is reading one of his books out loud with my Italki teacher for part of the lesson. It’s useful for me to put pronunciation and vocabulary together this way.

Have you read Como Agua Para Chocolate? It’s a romance novel. But really good story so far :)

Shane: How to you count your hours when you are reading in Spanish? The same as when you count your hours listening? Or using a different calculation? Thank you :)

He leído libros de Lorena Franco (la mayoría de sus libros se tratan de viajar en el tiempo) son buenos para los niveles intermedio/avanzado

Do you recommend reading out loud or silent? Also how about audio books or read while listening or only doing one or the other?

BLABLABLABLABLA

When should I start reading?

Hey Shane! Herón here, I just recently started working on my KZfaq channel creating Spanish content for people looking to practice, I was wondering if you could check it out and let me know what you think, at this point I'm not even sure if the format I'm using is useful or not, thanks!
