Experience the language. Become the language.
This is a very common situation for language learners. What can you do about it?
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.

@dancersbythesea5656 2 года назад

Yes! I am a speech/language pathologist and I often work with children who are still trying to acquire their native language (due to a processing disability or similar cause). I use some of the same strategies that second language learners need. I often ask the parents, "If you were learning a second language, how would you want someone to speak to you?" The answers are pretty simple (and the same)...slower, with context, interesting, repetition of frequently used words...etc. Ah...Then, they understand how to interact with their young child. It works!

@Muppetkeeper Год назад

So many of my “language learning friends” are obsessed with the thought that speaking is a learning experience, they think that I am crazy to learn by listening. I’ve started to ask them “when was the last time you learned anything by speaking rather than listening?”

How’s it going

@reefspanish4701 2 года назад

I am around 100 hours of input now, from your videos, and others. I have maybe spent like 100 hours on other things with the language, like going through a textbook, trying to read basic stuff, anki and listening to music. I still think this channel has been the biggest part of my growth. While I still sneak in a bit of book work here and there, or review some flash cards, I have basically studied 0 grammar on my Spanish journey. After about 3 months of Spanish I am already at the level if not better than I was after like 3 years learning Japanese while in highschool lol. All I can say is, its going to suck if I decided to learn another language in the future, there just is not a big enough database of comp input videos like your channel has for other languages. Man you should try and branch out into other languages, hire other teachers, have Dreaming Spanish, Dreaming Japanese, Dreaming Russian.. etc. These videos are just such high quality!!

Interesting stuff! Especially the first part where you explain that you always understand more words than you can actively speak. Regarding some people here in the comments saying they are experiencing it the other way around: could it be that they are really confident while speaking and are not worried a bit with the mistakes they are making combined with a language partner who speaks unclear/fast?

@wndshldptnt Год назад

My family is from Venezuela and i have been exposed to lots of Spanish. I understand half of what I hear in Spanish, and it's difficult to understand other accents sometimes. I want to learn so badly, but in my mind there is a disconnect. I'm going to try to learn more with help from my mother and videos like this, + Spanish classes in school

Independientemente del idioma que aprendamos, es difícil para todos. Ánimo, que como dice la canción "somos arrieros y en el camino andamos."

@AysarAburrub Год назад

i learned English to native level fluency without ever stepping foot in an English speaking country or having anyone to talk to. You can learn from videos, movies, podcasts etc. and speaking will come naturally after consuming input for so many years. I practiced speaking by reading books out loud and thinking to myself in English. It would be better to practice with native speakers of course but you dont really NEED them.

@espartaco2028 2 года назад

El problema es que hay cuatro regiones del cerebro para communicarnos verbalmente y cada una tiene que desarrollar independiente a las otras. Una confusión que ofrece internet es con los profesores que nos dicen que ellos solos tienen "la manera correcta" para aprender un idioma. Hay que escuchar y repetir (de entrada y de salida) y luego, hay que leer y escribir - Al comenzar. Entonces, se puede cambiar el método de salida en combinación: escribir y hablar qué has escrito. Pero una persona no tiene estas opciones ¡si no aprende la gramática primero! Es muy fácil la gramática y luego puede escoger como quisieras recibir (escuchar o leer) y la salida (hablar o escribir). Puedes escuchar todo el día y nunca poder hablar ni una palabra. Puedes leer hasta que los ojos exploten y nunca puedo escribir ni joto de una palabra. Cada entrada y cada salida tiene que desarrollar independiente. No soy perfecto, por supuesto pero, puedo hablar en conversación todo lo que he escrito aquí perfectamente. Empecé a estudiar el español hace 9 meses. Mi pronunciación, sí, es perfecta. Su canal me ayuda mucho por la manera que hablas claramente. Muchas gracias. El sonido de su voz es muy agradable.

@scotthullinger4684 Год назад

If you can understand, but you can't speak, then trust me, you're half way there - This is how infants learn language. They comprehend FAR more than they speak. So how do you learn to speak? By actually speaking. Meaning by having real conversations on may different subjects with native speakers of the language.

@jamesmccloud7535 Год назад

Probably because you speak what you clearly understand. What you can understand will always be higher than what you can speak, otherway around is impossible. If somebody said to you exactly what you've written down right now, there is an extremely low chance you won't understand, unless you're deaf or the person whispered it. So it's not really then that you can speak but you can't understand that's the issue, it's that you should be focusing on gaining comprehension first by expanding your vocabulary and getting a feel to how people speak and the words they tend to use.

@NewLife2028 Год назад

What you´re saying here is that what we´re being told by the majority of RU-vidrs are lies, and I agree. The quantity does equate eventually into the quality. For example, I´ve seen your videos where you say to AVOID grammar. Now you´re saying one of the reasons some can´t speak is because they don´t have the grammar, and I agree with the latest. The other thing I´ve heard is not to make word lists, with which I fervently disagree. My list of 14,000 entries has provided for active vocabulary, mediation and in-context learning. I´ve gone over all Spanish grammar three times in workbook studies up to level C1, because one must! You can´t say all we need is comprehensible input and then explain that we can´t speak because we don´t have vocabulary and grammar. Obviously, we needed them MORE than comprehensible input. I´m two years in and I´ll be fluent at the third. My way worked for me. 16,000 words in context and all the grammar.
