I'm intermediate in Spanish. I've learned and lost many languages. The best method I know to learn a language is to immerse yourself. If you cannot immerse yourself, then you have to simulate it. Here's what I do:

- I use DeepL to figure out vocabulary that I don't know, or to polish my Spanish.

- I create flashcards related to my life.

- I listen to music in Spanish.

- I read books in Spanish, usually with the help of an English or French translation.

- I watch shows in Spanish.

- I participate in a conversation group.

- I use spanishdict.com for grammatical questions.

Some of this should be adaptable to any level. My conversation group is intermediate, but I recall seeing groups for beginners or others that assume fluency.

Here's the Dungeons and Dragons series in Spanish. The subtitles are iffy, but they are still useful:

Back on Thursday I went to a few bookstores here in Valencia. One of them had a separate chess section, where I saw books by Miguel Illescas. I considered buying the book on endings, but after a bit of research I saw that the "Curso completo de ajedrez" basically contains all four paperbacks, and the ebook version was only 9.49€ :neofox_book:

Now I can work on my Spanish and on my chess at the same time, and I can use the Chessnut Go to play through the exercises against the engine :neofox_happy:

#learningspanish 'Tiempo Condicional' learnt today: reading Spanish OSM tagging discussions. For me unknown verb conjugations like " ..se debería usar..". " la cambiaríamos ...". Not yet in my course...

Researching: in English we would say "we should, would, could, ..use, change etc". But Spanish has single 'Condicional' tense. Very often used in our field as we (usually) talk politely in terms of recommendations, how things could/should be done (programmed, tagged!).

I continue to be amazed by the quality feedback I get from my custom GPT:

Spanish Coach: Analyzer and Alternatives Generator

chatgpt.com/g/g-WNDowewbg-span

I have reached an intermediate level of Spanish, but I have a LONG way to go before I feel fluent. When I write emails or WhatsApp messages in Spanish, I write a draft in Spanish, drop it into my GPT, and get feedback — in Spanish — on how I did, what can be improved, and some areas where students often get tripped up. Helpful!

Whenever I start dreaming in a language I’m learning, I know that it’s taking. Like, I’m struggling a lot learning Spanish but then I had a dream or two where I spoke Spanish and I knew I was going to be okay with learning the language.

I haven’t dreamt in ASL yet but I think that’s to do with the fact that my eyesight is incredibly bad in my dreams. I’m very near-sighted in life but obviously wear glasses. Apparently, since I don’t have those on when I sleep, I also don’t see well in my dreams. 😂

So, I’m currently learning both ASL and Spanish. Started approximately at the same time, although a tiny bit earlier with ASL — but that disadvantage for Spanish should easily be made up by the fact that I already know Italian.

I find it both fascinating and hilarious how in ASL I can now have a smol conversation about where I grew up and my hobbies while in Spanish I’m still building silly little sentences that say “in the summer it’s very hot and sunny.” 😆

I made a handy custom GPT for intermediate Spanish learners.

chat.openai.com/g/g-WNDowewbg-

Chat a phrase or sentence to the bot, and it will respond with analysis of correctness along with some alternative ways of saying the same thing. It also offers pointers on constructions that students often find challenging.

@thegrumpyenby I understand, makes sense. Portugal still has a way to grow in that regard. As a supplement to your Spanish course, I can recommend Carlos' "Dreaming Spanish" YouTube channel. Hours of listening to his channel was a big part of taking me from knowing 5 curse words in Spanish and not much more to a solid B1+ in a year. Spain is a great place, and I'm blessed to live just across the Guardiana river.

Alright, this is for the records: today (March 8) I started learning Spanish. Let's see if I can speedrun this thing because I'm not super into it as of yet. If anyone has advice for how to make me like it more, let me know. I'm already planning to use music as that made learning Italian super nice.

It really is a cruel joke, though, that I used to be fluent in Italian, fell in love with Portuguese and briefly studied it, and of all romance languages I now need to learn Spanish so we can move to Spain. 😆 French is totally irrelevant, as I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
