i find it hard to converse with chatgbt, it follows these specific patterns (but not in a good or natural way) and it just becomes boring over time. but It will get better in time
Gracias por el video! Thank you for your recommendation! I have already been using effective extensions like DeepL and Immersive Translate for a long time. Especially, Immersive Translate has been incredibly helpful for me. I will definitely consider trying out what you've recommended.
Yooo it's crazy but my name is also Luke and i started learning Spanish 2 weeks ago 🤗 Hope i will also get to your level if i stay consistent 😇 Great video man keep up the great work, nos vemos 🥳
Thanks for the update on your progress. There's something similar to ChatGPT that's specific for language learning, called Teacher AI or yourteacher AI. I first came across it in a video from Olly Richards. I haven't tried it out myself yet as I'm not yet at the "speaking stage", but I noted it down as it looked pretty promising from what he showed. I am planning to start italki lessons when I'm at around ~600 hours of input but I know the AI tools that are available for practicing speaking will help big time (me and others who are also on the introverted side).
Hi Luke, Like all of your italki videos I have watched, you are able to get your point across in Spanish. Props for that. However, I think your Spanish is still rife with many mistakes, many of them are the same mistakes as in your previous videos Some areas I noticed you need to work on are: 1. vowel pronunciation 2. conjugations: especially past tense 3. correct use of articles according to the gender of the word 4. matching adjectives with the correct gender and number/plurality I'll advice you do some kind of focused grammar study around these points. Using the Language Transfer app or Spanish Dict app can easily help with some of the difficulties you're having. Just my 2 cents :)
Thanks so much for the constructive feeedback. I am defiantly aware I’m still making plenty of errors. think at some point It would be very beneficial for me to a little bit of grammer study to make me more aware of everything
Ramilla is awesome. If you like his stuff Lethal Crysis, Clavero and Jep are all worth watching. For podcasts Los de Londres and Hoy en El País are my go to if I’m not sure what to put on. Thanks for the update!
Your description of the gradual improvement was spot on. I made up my "300 hour rule" to allow myself to understand this. First, its not a rule. Second, if one adds 300 hours of content, each time one does this, the change is very noticeable. By 1500 hours one knows an amazing amount of vocabulary and grammar but paradoxically, cannot necessarily explain "why". Perhaps with comprehensible input there need not be a "why". Maybe that is my second rule. There is no Why. Oh, the second rule is not a rule either. Es lo que hay.
Rate this Luke, it’s great to hear how much your level has improved lately. The chatGPT idea is really cool and definitely something that could help others who don’t have access to a conversation partner. Keep it up brother :)
I'm very similar level, also learning Spanish in Melbourne. There's a Mexican guy who lives in Syd called "Jorge Navarro" that makes blogs for natives but it's hands down the easiest native content
Luke in America I believe there are similarities. For the most part America is split into tribes. It’s not a good excuse to not learn but because of the tribes and distance to other locations most people don’t learn another language. Easy to be lazy when everyone speaks English around you. Enjoyed this snippet
Not trying to be mean, but this isn’t an intermediate level. This is still a beginner level. Intermediate would imply that you have a basic understanding of how the language works, how to conjugate verbs, correctly use plurals and adjectives etc.
@@Lukelearnsspanishknowing when to let students speak, and when to talk yourself is a skill in itself. You will notice more experienced teachers are a lot better at making the student do the talking, and especially female teachers, they tend to speak a lot less than blokes imo.
Super interview. Those of us who have watched thousands of DS videos feel that we know Pablo. We do trust him. He did deliver on his promises and not a high cost. We, the learners are in charge of how tense or relaxed we are. He said it out load. Relax, listen, watch and let the language wash into us. With 1700 hours I am on native content and continue 2 hours + each day. Pablo is the real deal. Thank you.
I remember when Pablo first linked a few videos to teachers to “test out with your students” it is mind blowing g how the channel and program has expanded! I’ve been a die hard fan for years and I have many students who choose DS vids during “independent input time!”👍🎉
Great interview. He said he listened to Japanese for 16 hours a day for 6 months, that's crazy lol. I wonder how he stayed tuned in or what other resources he used during those 16 hours or if it was just Japanese.
Really enjoyed this interview - a big thanks to both of you. A couple of things I wanted to say, the first with respect to native English speakers not having the drive to learn another language or the belief that they can learn it without actually living in a foreign country. That totally describes me (I have lived in Canada my entire life) and almost all other native-born Canadians that I know. I stopped believing that nonsense that I could never learn Spanish while living in a dominantly English area when I discovered CI videos and Steve Kaufmann on youtube. I only wished I discovered it earlier and not at 34 years of age, but better late than never. The second is Mike's advice about reading and listening sort of reinforcing each other. I started reading Spanish on LingQ last November (I started Dreaming Spanish about a month later and am at about 300 hours at the moment) and I totally agree with this. It happens so often whereby I will have read something and picked up a ton of vocabulary via LingQ one day, then the same day or a few days later I hear the same key word(s) used in a DS video. This still happens even at the intermediate level. Joining the two (escuchar y leer) has been powerful. I have been heavy on the listening over the past couple of months as it's just easier to watch DS videos than it is to read text and hunt down vocabulary, but I'm trying to balance the two out in more equal proportions again.
Thanks for the comment and the support. Reading I think is something I need to do a lot more of myself since so many people say it is so good for learning.
