Watch this video on our website: www.dreamingspanish.com/watch...
At Dreaming Spanish, you will learn Spanish the way you learned your native language, namely, through immersion. Simply start watching content at a level that is comprehensible to you, and gradually work your way towards more and more advanced videos.
As researchers like Dr. Stephen Krashen have shown over the past 40+ years, receiving comprehensible input, that is, messages that you can understand in the target language, is what actually results in language acquisition.
By listening to our stories, cultural expositions, conversations and games, you will get used to real Spanish as it's used in context, and develop a native-like intuition for the grammar and the vocabulary, together with a clear pronunciation.
Experience the language. Become the language.

I think when you are first learning it's very easy to kick your brain out of "Spanish mode." You hear one word you don't know? Spend 3 minutes trying to figure it out in English. By the time you are upper intermediate, you have to hit a brick wall before you revert back to English. Personally I'm at the level where I just accept what I'm hearing, and sometimes my brain knows what's going on, and sometimes not. And I'm okay with that.

@stephen9306 2 года назад

Well put! I find it depends how many words there are that I don't understand. These days, if I hit a single word I don't know in a conversation or a long paragraph? Fine. I might be able to understand it or I might not, but it doesn't knock me out of Spanish mode (as you put it very well). I just carry on and unless the word is absolutely essential, I probably understand pretty much what's going on. But if I get hit by too many unknown words in a short space of time, that's it. I'm back to my English brain.

You have explained it well. I’m so glad to be at this level. I’ve learned a lot, but I also know that I still have a lot to learn.

@chaliflare9669 Год назад

This is so true. I used to listen and my brain would go haywire trying to figure out what I just heard and then miss out on the rest. It really does take practice to let it pass and just try to focus on the rest.

@CraigPerks 7 месяцев назад

This is precisely the issue for me even as a beginner. I'm listening and comprhending what's being said and as soon as a word comes along that I don't understand I'm trying to translate in English.

@ComprehensibleMandarin 2 года назад

After listening to your videos for a while, I did indeed find that I'm able to understand your beginner & intermediate videos at 1.5-2x speed with no problem, & can understand most RU-vid content made for natives. What I have found to be a more difficult problem in real life, is when people heavily mumble, slur, or otherwise don't clearly pronounce their words. Unfortunately this seems to be common among native Spanish speakers where I live. Even in English, I sometimes find this hard to understand, for example over the phone. In Spanish, I basically can't understand it at all.

@peroqbonita 2 года назад

irás haciendo al oído , yo soy madrileño y he crecido oyendo diferentes acentos desde pequeño , ya sean hispanoamericanos o peninsulares. Es cosa de tiempo pero lo cogerás sin problemas. Yo te recomendaría consumir producto audiovisual de una zona donde se hable español que no sea en la que vives, o escuchar salsa o merengue, por ejemplo, donde podrás escuchar acentos muy variados.

@ComprehensibleMandarin 2 года назад

@@peroqbonita Thanks Andres. I wasn't referring to regional accents, which I've never had any trouble with; but to mumbling, muttering or not annunciating. It seems to be more related to socioeconomic status than to regional origin. (My real-life use of Spanish has mostly been in the setting of providing medical care to poor non-English-speaking patients.)

@xavier1857 2 года назад

I have the exact same situation.... no idea what the solution is aside from practice

@ComprehensibleMandarin 2 года назад

@@xavier1857 My guess is, enough general listening immersion would eventually do it, as the brain gets better at top-down guessing / filling in the blanks as we acquire more. However, I imagine the only time-efficient solution would be to do crosstalk or language exchange with people who speak this way. What makes it inconvenient is that there isn't any searchable content - anything successful enough to be on TV or rank on RU-vid / Google is going to have a reasonably clear speaker, & we need a really unclear one!

@87advil 2 года назад

@@ComprehensibleMandarin Seek out podcasts with natural (unscripted) conversation. They're still produced as entertainment but so far it's the best way I've found to get large amounts of non-overly polished speech. Check out El Deposito, in which two Mexican guys interview ordinary, mostly working-class people about their jobs - the guests spend a fair amount of time talking and the hosts actually don't have the clearest accents either, one of them in particular. The more you watch relatively niche things the more the youtube algorithm will start to help you. I still think (like Pablo says in this video) that more listening to "clear" speech will help with "unclear" speech.

@nicolasb5075 2 года назад

It seems that rapid speech is a barrier to comprehension, but I agree that it’s just an illusion. If you think about our native language(s), we’ll find ourselves inferring - through context - a word or phrase which someone has said, but which we did not hear clearly. The same occurs when we’re acquiring another language, but we may not recognize it. I agree that in most cases, a lack of comprehension boils down to needing more vocabulary. I think at the upper-intermediate level, where I’ve acclimated myself to the phonology of the language, and can speak with a degree of fluency, but still have a lot of vocabulary to acquire - you know… the “you speak Spanish well” phase - reading easy, interesting fiction has been helpful in acquiring new words, as fiction tends to be richer in vocabulary than spoken language, but still contains all of the everyday vocabulary which I’ve yet to acquire.

@TheDeguello2034 2 года назад

One of the main problems I have with faster speech is that so many words begin and end in vowels, it's sometimes hard to tell when one word stops and the next begins. A related problem is things like the personal A and "ha" sounding exactly alike and the short bit of time it takes things to click puts me behind. These things aren't issues with slower speech. That said, it's borderline magic when words like habia or irregular conjugations like supe, puse, and tuve become second nature and how much easier it is to keep up with what people are saying even when they're speaking a little faster. "Just keep listening" seems to be working pretty well.

Les resumo lo que Pablo dijo en estos 12 minutos: Tienen que escuchar más conversaciones para que su cerebro se acostumbre al español. De hecho, el traducir palabra por palabra en la mente es un nivel bajo, tienes que dejar ese nivel y pasar al nivel automático, en el que ya no estás conscientemente traduciendo en tu cabeza, ya sabes, como cualquier hábito, en ingles se le llama _"second nature",_ y eso se logra escuchando más y más conversaciones. Como dice el meme de Sylvester Stallone "Te hace falta ver más bax".

My experience is that Spanish spoken in Spain is extremely difficult to understand, especially if the speaker is from Andalucía or Extremadura. I have learned a ton of vocabulary and expressions and understand some of what people say. That being said, Spaniards I have met are incapable of speaking slower. In contrast, when I've been in Latin America (i.e. Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay), I've understood a lot more, even with the aspirated s in many South American countries. And people seem to naturally slow down a little out of respect for the foreigner whereby in Spain, they don't. It makes me much prefer my experiences in Latin America. By the way, I'm considered a C1 level speaker in Spanish.

@bobbi2507 2 года назад

This makes so much sense. I've certainly seen it for myself with simple kids shows. They used to be way too fast, but now that I know most of the words they use, I don't have a problem following them. A related question - Am I likely to eventually learn to speak with all of the verbal shorthand if I've listened to so many hours of slower things first? Eventually I will listen to way more hours of native content than intermediate content, but that is so far away. Does spending hundreds of hours on content for learners impact the ability to develop a native-like accent?

@DreamingSpanish 2 года назад

What do you mean by "verbal shorthand"? We're still using our native accent when we speak. In the future, if you form personal connections with native speakers, you'll probably be influenced a lot more by the way they speak than by anything else.

@bobbi2507 2 года назад

@@DreamingSpanish Thank you! By "verbal shorthand" I mean the way words get squished together and sounds change when people aren't intentionally speaking clearly. For instance, in English, it would be odd to pronounce all of the sounds in "Don't you want to go?" It would actually sound more like, "Doncha wanna go?" But if I were speaking more slowly like in the videos, I would pronounce everything rather than having it run together with different sounds.

When the people speak too fast, you cant hear all the words that are being said, especially the small words. The problem is the speaker. Les puedo entender bien a ellos cuando hablan bien. Es la culpa de ellos, no es culpa mía por no entender su manera de hablar demasiado rápido.

@87advil 2 года назад

They speak that fast because it is understandable to other speakers - if no one understood them they wouldn't be able to communicate that way. Hence, they are understandable, so it's on you that you can't understand them yet.

@emmanuelwood8702 6 месяцев назад

If it sounds like people are speaking too fast it is because your comprehension level is not good. You need to get used to people normally and not just beginner-level conversation stuff where people are speaking unnaturally slow as if they were speaking to a baby. No native speakers talk that way.
