I honestly subbed as soon as I heard she was going to share some faith based resources. I was curious to find a video talking about the best resources on KZfaq to learn Spanish because I saw a video recently on the best resources to learn American Sign language (the only other language I have ever learned besides English). I have always wanted to practice both more as well as relearn a bit because I haven't practiced in a while. KZfaq suggested Emi's Language Transfer video and then out of curiosity I went to her main channel scrolled her videos and saw this one and I am just amazed by the faith based sharing at the end because I am also Christian (and know a few fluent Spanish speakers at my church that I really want to help in the Spanish ministry if I can 😅). Also I am so happy Emi reminded us not to replace the Spanish sermons with the main devotionals because of accidentally making the lesson about learning Spanish instead of learning about God. Sorry for the rant I am just very excited and God has amazing timing

I haven’t seen anyone ever compare the pronunciations of Spanish and Japanese, and I totally agree! I learned Spanish first, and it’s been helping me exponentially with Japanese. I’ve said this to people, but I definitely have gotten some odd looks in response.

This is great advice! Thank you. You are right about Language Transfer, I had it on my phone and never used it until yesterday. The teacher explains the why and helps the student make connections. I can verify that don't try to combine Bible Study and Spanish Study! However, now I listen to the Spanish Bible on my app and read along just for practice. The narrators are women and have great accents.

It's really helpful (and freeing) to me to know that you didn't take physical notes during this process. I find that coming up with a notetaking system can be so incredibly overwhelming, and to see that you were able to gain fluency without obsessively taking notes is amazing! (I am also scarred from my experience of learning French in school. So. Many. Written. Conjugations).

Cannot agree more and personally think Dreaming Spanish is a must. My English learning journey would've been so much easier had I known about those concepts years ago. Trying to learn English traditional way back then I thought "Languages just not my thing". I'm so glad I stumbled on DS early on in my Spanish learning. I was able to reach high intermediate level in about 11 moths. Not easy but by all means doable, just gotta put time and effort into it, day in and day out. Spanish Dict is also great resource to acquire new words. All great tips here.

i’ve been using dreaming spanish since january and i love it so much! my comprehension of spanish has improved so much, i’m almost at level 4. i also really hate super traditional learning, i tried learning spanish that way during 2020 and i got so burned out. i’m so glad i found their channel because they really reignited my love for spanish. i am going to be adding a mix of traditional learning with comprehensible input because i do want to be able to speak and i’m not really able to do that right now. anyway i’m glad dreaming spanish is helpful for you, i know it is for me. i can’t wait to get to a higher level :)

I remember when I was in Japan trying to learn Japanese. I was on my 2nd year in Tokyo and my 5th year of studying Japanese total. The big problem was that Japanese people kept switching to English when I talked because I had an accent. This young dude from Spain came waltzing off the airplane with no studying and a Japanese phrase book and he spoke better Japanese than me from the get go 😂😂. I wanted to just give up.

This a good summary. I have been lax on my practice and fell off. I never finished the language transfer course, and I need to find a new series to watch next. I never got up the nerve to start italki. I know speaking is a huge gap. I however did notice listening skills have gotten better, because I was watching some documentaries that had english subs and I started hearing the spanish works and understood enough to notice the translation wasn't literal and why they chose what they did.

I want to learn again so I can communicate with my extended family in Spain and for work. You provided the stepping stones for resources that I needed, thank you! I also lit up when you compared Japanese to Spanish. I think you’re right. I’ve listened to a lot of Japanese artists and it’s funny how some pronunciations remind me of Spanish.

Thanks for sharing your recommendations. My Spanish learning journey started with meeting my wife (native Spanish speaker). Pimsleur (sp?) was the first app I used, followed by Mango Languages' Latin American Spanish. Mango Languages just fit my learning style really well, so for that reason I'm a big fan. Mango says their more comprehensive language courses - Spanish, French, German, etc - will get you all the way through B1 and into B2 level a bit, if you complete all of the lessons. I use a NTV / NLT bilingual Bible. I'm going to pass along your Christian music recommendations to my wife; she listens to a lot of Spanish worship music. I'm now working (slowly - ha, ha) on Danish. SUBSCRIBED!

How much vocab did you know before you felt comfortable listening to those podcasts? Did you just listen or did you do active study where you wrote down vocabulary? Sorry if you've delved into this before! I just don't know when to start with podcasts/shows so that'd it'd actually be effective and not just in one ear and out the other. You're a great resource, BTW! I just started my Spanish journey and you're a huge inspiration.

It have bettered but I always trip over my words . but i am willing to learn until becoming perfect ! I understand everything it’s just so hard to speak especially when I have talked English my whole life ! I would only speak English in my house with my sister and never remember speaking with my parents only sometimes . And I kinda have a bit of anger towards them because they never told us to speak Spanish 😢and now that I have my baby I talk to her in Spanish but very bad !

I stopped using Anki, only because I decided that flashcards aren't for me, I feel stories are the way to go. But I would recommend making your own flashcards because every single one that I downloaded had a ton of errors in Spanish and in English. Some were simply "r u gonna go to the cinema 2moz" instead of "are you going to go to the cinema tomorrow" and I hate reading text like that, but if you don't mind those "abbreviations" then downloading them is much quicker and your time can be spent on reviewing them instead of creating them

Choosing a particular accent is not as easy, when there is a lack of resources. The two most abundant in resources are Standard Latin American and Castilian Spanish. If someone let's say wanted to learn Chilean Spanish, then it would be pretty difficult to find audio programs for it in a place like Amazon or any huge merchants.

I'm glad you had the foresight and courtesy to leave Christian resources to the end so those of us not interested in them could skip them. I am not Christian and I am tired of Christians constantly trying to preach to me or leaving Christian related comments to videos that have absolutely nothing to do with religion. I scanned a few comments while listening and when I saw some mentioning your Christian references I groaned, thinking "Great! More preaching in a video that has nothing to do with Christianity!" But out of consideration of non-Christians you left it at the end of the video and didn't really do any preaching (other than to advise people not to let learning Spanish interfere with their religious observances).
