Semana uno - sábado

¡Hola! Esta es mi primera publicación aquí, quiero decir que creo que Español es un idioma muy bonito. Yo lo amo con todo mi corazón. Me encantan las series de televisión, la música, y quiero leer muchos libros.

Quiero aprender Español porque tengo muchos amigos que lo hablan como su idioma nativo. También, yo quiero disfrutar los medios de Mexíco y otros países de habla Español.

Estoy un principiante pero, quiero hablar pronto. Quiero escribir más en el futuro. 

Lo siento por mis errores. ¡Muchas gracias por todos suyos ayuda!

~~ Writing a rough draft of something in your target language, and just writing in any English/Native language words you don't know to look up later is amazing. Decided to do a weekly update rather than daily :) Might increase it to monthly depending on the topic! (Also, I noticed my writing is very repetitive when using "Quiero ...", nothing that I need to look into other ways to express me wanting to do something. need to expand my future tense knowledge ˚　　　　✦　　　.　　. 　 ˚　.　　　　　 . ✦　　　 　˚　　　　 . ★⋆.

Week One Overview ~

How Can I Improve?

Speaking:

So far, I haven't had the oppurtunity to speak to any of my Spanish speaking friends yet, sadly. I might record voice notes for them to correct, however I do want to practice speaking off the top of my head.

Listening:

DEFINITELY want to target this more this upcoming week. I have been exploring vlogs and beginner listening comprehension videos. Definitely recommend! But I am thinking of finding a show that I've rewatched countless times / a childrens' show to binge. (Might be a good excuse to rewatch ATLA again though! (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)) I am on the look out for relatively beginner friendly shows that are based in a contemporary setting though, so please lmk any recs you may have! Reading:

Very pleasantly surprised by this one! I have been loving finding websites with short stories, seeing my progression as I need to take fewer and fewer notes is so satisfying! Writing:

I do want to work on being at the point where I can just turn my brain off and write off the top of my head, however I understand that'll take a loooooong time from now! Still very happy with what I was able to whip up, mistakes and all :)

Resources:

Journaly - https://journaly.com/

LangCorrect - https://langcorrect.com/

Upload written passages to either of the above websites to be corrected by native speakers! Can also read through public posts and their corrections

FluentWithStories - https://www.fluentwithstories.com/stories/es

ABSOLUTELY INSANE free resource. Short stories that you can sort by fluency level, audio to pair with each story. Scroll down for a vocab list for each story + comprehension quiz. Also has flashcards for each story!!!!! Also can get a free PDF of more short stories, I've gotten it but still going through the content the website provides.

The Spanish Experiment - https://www.thespanishexperiment.com/stories

More short stories, they have lessons too but I personally haven't checked them out yet!

Andrea La Mexicana - https://www.youtube.com/@andrealamexicana

Vlogs and videos meant to aid comprehensible input. She speaks clearly, slowly, and often repeats herself. Also uses a lot of hand gestures and visual aid for you to understand.

Espanol Con Ali - https://www.youtube.com/@espanolconali

Another incredible source for listening comprehension. Speaks very slowly, clear sounding and also a genuinely pleasant voice to listen to IMO

Obviously I have a lot more resources that I'm going through, I'm still trying to find some good study guides/courses that are free. I have found a few that I just use as a reference point, and will watch a few YT videos and read articles myself. I often need it to be explained several times before it clicks.

Also, I definitely want to purchase Cristina Lopez's books. Please lmk if you've read them and your thoughts! They look like a great reading resource :)

Good luck with your learning everyone! Please share any resources that you may have (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) ‹𝟹

Since I'm already living in a black hole of fanfiction, I might as well practise Spanish along the way.

Quick question: Does anybody have any recommendations for 9-1-1 fanfiction in Spanish? Translations of existing work would be fine, as well.

I shall repay recommendations with compliments and drabbles because gods of fandom require sacrifice ;)

[hostofhorus999]

does anyone have good podcasts/shows in spanish? im trying to become fluent n need the listening practice
