What's up, grinders? Welcome back to the channel. I hope you're ready for the 1,000 hour [laughter] Dreaming Spanish update. We are up to video 21 in this series. Check this out. This has been going on for over a year.
If you're wondering why this is video 21 now, it's because the first video was actually me just doing a react to someone who was promoting the Dreaming Spanish method. In fact, if you guys want me to do a react to my original video from 1 year ago with, you know, my 1,000 hours of input now, uh let me know down in the comment section.
So, video 21, 1,000 hours. Look at this. Total input time, 1,000 hours. This bar is now disgustingly empty. Yesterday, right up to this point, it was all blue except for like a little black slither of pixels at the end there. And now, I've just got this tiny little blue line. So, I guess we're [ __ ] starting again. We have just cracked into level six. Okay.
So, over the last uh couple of weeks, I've been smashing out the input, you know, day in, day out, watching goddamn content. Nothing special to report there. Up until about yesterday, where you can see suddenly I don't know. I just stopped uh I just stopped doing input. Why? Why did I stop doing input when I was at like 999 hours? Well, actually, I do know why. It's because I was doing collabs with other YouTubers. That's right. Other YouTubers have decided that they finally want to meet with me and talk with me in the real world. If you want to see one of those, uh I have a membership section on my channel right here. I interviewed Days and Words on language learning. And while I'm at it, why not? I just promote it. I got a ton of cross talk videos where I'm playing different video games with different YouTubers in cross talk or in cross talk, doing cross talk with them. They speak Spanish, I speak English.
Okay, let's get back to this. So, 1,000 hours. What we're going to do is we're going to read the level five and the level six levels, okay? The reason being is because I just left left level five and I've just entered level six. But, hang around until the end of this video because at the end of this video, you are going to get me first doing cross talk with another YouTuber where we have a conversation in Spanish. Okay, this is not me passively translating something I'm seeing on the screen. It will have subtitles, okay? So, I will be basically having a conversation with this YouTuber about what he deems to be advanced topics and we will see how well I understand, what words I don't understand, what words drop, etc. And you guys can determine down in the comment section how good you think my listening is after 1,000 hours. And in fact, I encourage you all be completely honest about how good you think I am. Where am I on the Common European Framework of Reference when it comes to listening? I I'm very curious to know about that.
But, in addition to that, I will be doing my first ever speaking session. Well, I've done it already. I've filmed it, okay? But, you will be seeing it. We do speaking together. We have a Let's Let's just say conversation. It's me attempting to have a conversation in Spanish, okay? If you want to hear really bad Spanish, that part is definitely for you guys.
Okay, so, the reason I want to read level five and level six before we break off and do all that type of good stuff is because last time when we cracked into level five, which was at 600 hours of input, and I read this and I said, "Yeah, guys, no, this ain't true for me." A bunch of uh people came down in the comment section. They said, "Uh level five actually doesn't represent the hours of input at 600 hours. It represents the end of the level, which is apparently, you know, like at 1,000 or 999 hours. So, you should be reading this at 999 hours as opposed to 500 or 600 hours." And I'm like, "Eh, that seems iffy, but you know what? Let's play it your way. Let's do that. We're going to read this and let's see if this is true."
Okay, so, what you can do, you can understand people well when they speak directly to you. Well, I guess so. Uh they won't need to adapt their speech for you. Watch my interview at the end. You will see adaption of speech beyond a doubt. It happens, okay? And also, there are words I don't understand, and I ask the person I'm speaking with to use different terminology to explain that in order for me to learn. Like in order for me to just continue the conversation. So, even at 1,000 hours, okay, my speech still needs to be adapted for me to understand it, and I still don't know enough words in order for me to be just, you know, to flow through a conversation. This is with me speaking English, by the way, okay? Me speaking English with someone speaking to me Spanish.
Understanding a conversation between native speakers is still hard. I will be honest, I haven't really listened to too many native speakers like having a conversation beyond, you know, just in TV shows, but that's kind of scripted, so I can't really say, but I don't really think I'm going to be able to. Uh you'll almost understand TV programs in the language because you understand so many of the words, but they are still hard enough to leave you frustrated or bored. I don't know. I can watch dubbed content in Spanish now pretty good. There's There's still a lot of words I don't know, but I get enough of the gist that I can just power through and watch the TV show. Like it's not that bad, but there is I I don't get all the details. Let's just say I get the high-level discussion of what's happening, um some details here and there, but like not on an individual line-by-line basis. I don't understand everything, okay?
In fact, someone asked me about this in the Discord. Uh it was David. David, if you're watching this, he asked me, you know, what is my understanding because he he listens to me, and he's like, "You seem to have a really good uh advanced level of understanding." And I appreciate that, okay? But he asked me what it's like for me, my experience in my head. What's going on when I hear Spanish? I can hear all the words in a sentence and understand them all. But it's like I understand the the image, the idea of the root of every word. But with Spanish, the endings of words determine their grammatical positioning and their purpose and their tense and all that type of stuff, okay? That part is a blur. I have no idea how that works, okay? So, when I hear all the words in the sentence, usually context tells me whether this is in past tense, present tense, future tense, you know, um if someone's talking to me or you're talking to someone, like I get all that like 90% of the time from context of the entire phrase. Okay? And then the entire conversation on top carries a whole heap of context. So, I understand the words because I understand each individual word within it, but the gluing of those words is a lot more dubious. Like, there's definitely still a lot of guessing that's happening even though it's not intentional. I will hear something and I'll think, "Oh, this is what they mean." When actually no, the the grammatical markers or whatever in that actually make the sentence mean something else, but I don't know what they are.
So, imagine you took English and someone gave you a full sentence in English and they cut off all the grammatical parts of the sentence, like the ED at the end of the word. They cut all that off. They cut off the S. They cut off anything that that is grammatical. And they gave you that full sentence. You, as a speaker of English or even a high-level speaker, you could look at that and go, "Oh, I see what they're trying to ask." Because like it's obvious from context. But sometimes you're going to look at that and be like, "Wait, is this past tense or present or future?" Like, I can't tell. And now it is actually important. That is my current state with Spanish, okay? I had no idea about the tense system and how it works.
So, next it says, "Conversations can be tiresome." Now, if you're following the Dreaming Spanish method, it's not recommended that you actually speak until 1,000 hours, although you can if you want and you feel like it's good for you at 600 hours, okay? So, that's when they start saying, you know, you can. If you want to speak, speak. However, I'm at 1,000 hours and if by conversation you mean cross talk, that's not tiring. I've got an entire series where I'm just playing games for hours with other YouTubers. Cross talk is easy. I I I don't get tired. I it makes no mental impact upon me whatsoever, okay. However, I did do, and you will see it at the end of this video, a conversation with a native. My head started to heat up after that, okay. Me trying to actually talk That was different. My you like I could feel the heat in my head start to kick in and it reminds me exactly of every time I tried to speak a language when I learned a language via traditional methods or any other method. Like it's the same type of process. It was hard to start speaking, okay? And if you try to speak, you can feel a bit like a child since it will be hard to express express abstract concepts and complex thoughts.
This part here, I feel like does not match up with the methodology at all. However, what I think has happened with Dreaming Spanish is the major market for Dreaming Spanish is probably Americans. And most Americans studied Spanish at school, okay? But they felt like when they walked away from school that they don't understand anything about Spanish. They did 4 years or what not, but they can't they can't use the language, they can't understand the language, they can't speak the language, and I get that. But then they go do 1,000 hours of input on top and that basically grabs everything that they formally studied and actually activates it all. And then a slaps a whole heap of passive vocab on top of that. So, when they do start speaking at 1,000 hours, they've got all of that they're pulling on, okay? And yeah, they're going to step away or at 600 hours they'll probably step away, you know, speaking a bit like a child.
Now, at 1,000 hours with someone who's never studied this language prior to Dreaming Spanish, I can't do abstract concepts. No way in hell. I can't do complex thoughts. No way in hell. I am struggling to do the most basic of sentences. Watch the thing at the end of this video, the interview at the end of all the the collab at the end of this end of this video. You will see that this is not true in any sense of the word.
Okay, for a purist, you understand most of the words used during daily conversation, but you still can't use many yourself. Well, I do understand most of the words used during daily conversation, but I can't use any myself. Well, any would be a kind of a lie. I can use some. If you try to speak the language, you will feel like you are missing many important words. However, you can often already speak with correct intonation patterns of the language without knowing why, even make a distinction between similar sounds in the language when you say them out loud. You will hear me when I start speaking. I will say some words and then I'll be like I'll kind of like s- say it again and again because I do hear that it sounds wrong. So, that part is true, but intonation patterns, I highly doubt. Um and when I actually watched that clip of me um speaking Spanish with the native, I actually heard my own mistakes. I I saw, "Oh man, why'd you say that? That's not actually correct. You should say it like this way." So, I do have some intuitive understanding of how the language actually does sound, but I'm not speaking to the level that's mentioned in level five. And this was for 600 hours.
Now, if we go to level six, this is where [ __ ] just enters another [ __ ] parallel universe. You can really have fun with the language at this point. You are conversationally fluent for daily purposes of living in the country. No, this this is just not true in any way whatsoever. Okay, I am not conversationally fluent. I am not even bubbling baby fluent. Like, yeah, I don't even know how to like I just cannot speak. I cannot speak. And if you follow the road map, you're not meant to speak until 1,000 hours. So, I don't know why the expectation is that you can be conversationally fluent by this point. Unless you bring in those like that historical uh truth for most Americans who are learning Spanish via the service, they have actually used Spanish prior. They learned it before. They studied how its grammar works, and they probably practiced it to some degree. And you can get by at the bank, the hospital, the post office, looking for an apartment to rent. Maybe this will all be true by the end of level six, which will be 1,500 hours. Maybe after I've done a ton of speaking, but at this stage not true at all.
In spite of the odd word that is not quite there when you need it, you can always manage to get your point across in one way or another, and by now you are already making complex phrases. This whole get your point across in way one way or another. You could do this without speaking a language, you know? Like if you go to the bank, you can be like you grab your pockets and you're like You know, like you can do that [ __ ] without a language, okay? [laughter] So like that wording doesn't really mean much. But actually being able to speak about those topics, not true. At this level for the first time you start feeling like you're actually thinking about what you want to say and not about how you want to say it, and even though you may fall back on thinking about how you say things, especially in stressful situations or when feeling self-con- This is I I don't know who this is. Maybe this is evil deer 1,500 hours, but it ain't evil deer at 1,000 hours, that's for sure.
Using humor in the language is much easier now. You can understand TV shows about daily life quite well, 80 90%. See, this is what I done and said. You can understand TV shows about daily life at 80 90%. That is true at the 80% mark. Maybe not the 90%, but that at the 80% mark Yeah, I can. So some of this is true, but anything about conversation is just complete fabrication for me. Shows about families, friends, etc. Unscripted shows will usually also be easier to understand than scripted shows. Really? I find scripted shows way easier to understand than unscripted ones. Anyway, as long as they are not too chaotic or rely too much on cultural knowledge, thrillers and other genres will still be hard. Well, funnily enough, things like thrillers and horrors and stuff like that are actually quite easy for me because that's the type of content I like to consume. So I guess maybe they mean if only you absorb Dreaming Spanish content. So maybe that's true.
Okay. So what should I be doing now? Now that we understand that anything to do with conversation is not true and anything to do with understanding is for the most part actually true. So what should I be doing now? Listen and read a lot. It's also a good time to get massive input in authentic media and be it TV, podcasts, radios, movies, etc. If you can't find a lot of easy media in the target language, you may find that videos and audios for learners are still more efficient for acquiring new vocabulary until you get a bit better.
Now what I have been doing, I just want to quickly show this is I've done 26 hours of crosstalk. This is probably the best form of input that you can get in any language realistically is when you're having a conversation and it's relevant to you in that moment. focused. So I've already done a ton of that. If your target language has many common words with a language you already know, you may be able to understand quite well things like TED Talks and university lectures. I think that's probably true and that's because not my native language but I speak Esperanto to a a very high level, okay? So there's a lot of crossover between Esperanto and Spanish. So I can already understand these things. So maybe I'm actually ahead of what they recommended at this point for listening.
Lots of reading is also recommended if you want to be literate and if you care about reading. You'll still want to read books that are targeted at elementary school children although maybe you don't need to stick to the lower grades. Now originally I asked my community in a video, should I do shadowing in Spanish because I personally believe shadowing now would be the smartest move, okay? So you start shadowing stuff. That way I'm literally just training my mouth especially on content I already understand to now replicate what I can already hear and what I can already understand. That just makes sense to me. But, I am testing Dreaming Spanish and Dreaming Spanish says nothing about shadowing. So, I thought, "Okay, what does ALG, which is what Dreaming Spanish based on, say about shadowing?" And David Long in this video right here, he basically looked at shadowing or the concept of shadowing and said, "Why would you do that? You do not need to do that. It's It's not part of the method." So, I asked my community, you know, "What should I do? Should I do shadowing or not?" Because Dreaming Spanish says nothing about it. And ALG seems to be against it.
Now, if we go down into the comment section, we can read what my community believe. If you want to prove that an ALG doesn't work, at least not the way they say, don't do it. Now, I'm not trying to prove it doesn't work. I just want to give you guys a realistic insight into what you will come away of this if you don't have a background. I don't think you should do shadowing. You are testing whether someone can learn with DS method and how long it will take, which means you should try to have a similar experience of someone just following the DS method without adding anything else in. Even if it's not harmful or according to ALG. The problem with going the shadowing route is that people will think that was the reason your speaking improved and nothing you will be learned. Since it's a Dreaming Spanish challenge, you should just try outputting without shadowing. I don't usually comment, but I don't think you should do shadowing. I think it's pretty clearly goes against the spirit of the experiment. I think overall DS would say that output should emerge naturally, not that you have to drill it. If DS doesn't say anything about shadowing, I think you shouldn't do it. I think you're at the most critical part of the experiment and shadowing would kind of ruin it, to be honest.
Now, this one here, Comprehensible Mandarin, actually that's an amazing channel if you guys want to check it out. Maybe email Pablo and ask what he thinks would make for the most representative experiment. Then no one can say you didn't test the DS method fairly. So, I actually took this advice and it's not just Comprehensible Mandarin who recommended this. So, I emailed Pablo, okay? I said, "Hi Pablo, Evil D here. I'm at about 1K hours of listening with Dreaming Spanish and I want to transition to speaking uh reading part of the road map." Now, this was 6 days ago, so maybe he's traveling. He hasn't read the email yet, but I haven't got a response. I have a question. Is shadowing and or paroting permitted under the Dreaming Spanish method as a way to transition into speaking? So, maybe Pablo will respond eventually and he'll say, "Yes, do shadowing." Actually, I recommend it or he will just not respond or he will respond say, "No, don't do it." Okay. But at this stage, I have no response from Pablo. And for those who are curious, how the hell do I have Pablo's email? Uh we have communicated before regarding things that are not specific to the method, just regarding other stuff, okay? But I haven't got a response to this, so I'm going to go under the assumption that shadowing is not part of the DS method. So, I'm not going to shadow. As much as I want to shadow, I'm not going to do shadowing.
By this point, speaking and reading are completely unrestricted. So, you notice here, listen and read a lot is the first portion of this. This is where they they they talk about doing a lot of reading and then they introduce speaking. I don't know if this is because you're meant to start with reading then transition into speaking. But if you see my earlier videos where they have a visual of the Dreaming Spanish road map, okay? Speaking and reading is at the same time according to that. So, I'm assuming they're meant to be both at the same time. But according to the ALG method Dreaming Spanish is based upon, you actually shouldn't start reading right away. You should go to speaking and then once you're good at speaking, then you move to reading. And the the idea here is you don't want the script of the language that you're reading to actually impact your speaking ability. You want what you've been listening to all that input all that time to impact it. So, what I'm thinking, the the healthy intermediate would be I actually start with a lot of speaking and then very rapidly move into reading, maybe within like 10 hours or something. Okay, that way I I I kind of try to, you know, fit within the the the bounds of both. And it's really encouraged to make friends in the language. I've already done that. I've gotten multiple friends in the language. You see, I've got my collabs where I do cross talk videos on my channel, so I've already done that.
If you live in the country, join as many social activities as you can. I Well, I don't live there. I live in a shared apartment, go to bars, join dance classes. Yeah, I can't do any of that. See your set your PC, phone, and all online profiles to your target language. Make a list of daily things you do. Basically, live the language from this point on. Try speak, try read, listen to content, just go full-on freaking immersion, okay?
So, what I'm going to be doing, cuz you are curious. You've You've asked me, okay, multiple times. What I will be doing at this point is I'm going to move heavily into speaking. Straight-up speaking. But, I will also move into reading subtitles from videos I already fully understand. Now, I'm not going to shadow, so I'm not going to like listen to them and then repeat at the exact same time or repeat after them. I might watch the entire video and then I'll go back to the beginning of the video, I'll put it on mute, and then I'll just hit play and I'll read the subtitle. Hit play and I'll read the subtitle. And that's what I'll do for the whole video. I think that's perfectly acceptable under the Dreaming Spanish method. Like, there's nothing that says you can't do that. And from what I can tell, a lot of people already kind of do that. So, I don't think that's a problem. So, that's what I'm planning to do, but for speaking, well, what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to be using Worlds Apart. Now, Worlds Apart is a service that is super popular within the Dreaming Spanish community, okay? So, let's just read it right here. Start speaking Spanish with unlimited online classes. Real-life conversations, not just grammar exercises. Online classes with Spanish native tutors who adapt to your pace. So, I'm basically going to be using this service uh every day, hopefully, speaking Spanish with actual natives. Just just smashing it as much as I can and hoping for the [ __ ] best. Just YOLO this god damn [ __ ] If you guys are curious about pricing, I'll go hit it over here. Um I'm actually under the premium plan, but for those who want to know, uh Worlds Across is now sponsoring the series in a way. What they're doing is they're just giving me complete access to their service completely free. So, I will be using their service. Just be aware of that. I do want you to know that it is being given to me for free. But, I'm not being paid. So, the service is given to me for free. I'm not being paid. But, I was thinking about using Worlds Across anyway. So, the fact that they've just given me the entire thing for free, I'm just like, "Okay." So, that should help me a lot with the speaking side of things. But, of course, I'll still be doing my collabs with the YouTubers that I love. Um we've got uh Juego con Juades. Uh we've got what is it? Martin from Spanish Boost Gaming. And hopefully, I'll be reaching out to more creators and just just basically expanding my reach as much as I can within the Spanish-speaking community, and making as many [ __ ] friends as I basically can. As basically Dreaming Spanish recommends.
So, now comes the part you've all been waiting for. At this moment, you're basically going to see me interacting with natives using the language. Let's begin. I'm I'm Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. So, the plan was we were going to do some cross talk and talk about gaming, but I guess we already started. So, um >> [laughter] >> yeah, just hit me with some gaming stuff, and like keep pushing it and making it harder and harder for me so my viewers can figure out where I failed at Spanish. Perfecto. Okay. Mhm. Oh, okay. Ah, that is hard because when I was a kid, that was different to when I was in my 20s. So, when I was a kid, that was Perfect Dark, the game. Oh. >> I played that game with my brother every single day until the point where we hated it, but we also loved it at the same time. So, it's like we got so good at that game that there's like a a co-op multiplayer mode where you verse the AI and you put the AI on like this extreme level of intelligence where they just one shot everything and we were beating it. That's how much we played it. And we burned out the controller in our joystick. Yep. We went through several joysticks in the Nintendo 64. Hey, Sam. What is it that I value the most of what? Um it's hard to say that. I I guess loyalty in a way. Mhm. Uh that would be what I'd probably value the most. Cuz obviously if they stab you in the back, they're not very good friends. Mhm. No, not many. Very, very few. Okay. Yeah. >> Uh so Australia Okay, so Australia is internationally known as a first world country. It's very rich, but there are portions of Australian society that are completely broke and have no money. And I grew up in one of those portions where people were like living in caravans and >> See you. Uh you know, like that was basically We lived in the caravan and we're in the caravan park and we had to change caravan parks like quite often, otherwise cuz these are like public parks. You're not meant to stay there permanently. It's meant to be for holiday makers, but anyone who's poor just gets like a poor caravan. They put them there and then eventually they throw you out. They're like, "Hang on, you're not actually on holiday. You're just living here." [laughter] So It's basically It's kind of like the third world of Australia. So what is the best something? I can't figure out that word. I don't I don't know what that word is. Okay, so what was the original question again? Okay, so from Would this be one that I got from someone else or I should give what away? Okay, uh the best one. Mhm. Huh, um maybe just don't listen to others. Do what you want to do. With like your life. That would be maybe the best. Um Okay. Plan for the future, but don't expect that your plans will actually be fulfilled. That would be what I would give. Okay. That was my dad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, if I had like a kid or something, I would say, um, make try to plan for the future. Try to make plans, but understand that, you know, plans usually fall apart. But at least try to plan. That way you don't end up in a place in life where you're like, "How did I get here?" Okay. >> [laughter] >> I don't even claim Spanish as a language I speak because, well, we're about to find out. Uh, I don't speak it yet. So So, like, I don't even claim Spanish. Like, realistically, if anyone asks, I say I'm fluent in Esperanto. And yesterday I I did a collab with another YouTuber. I met up with her. She speaks Chinese fluently. And like, I had a conversation in Chinese pretty much most of the day with her. So, I feel like I can claim Chinese at least, you know, at a conversational level now. So, that's the only languages I claim. Well, the the pure A O G is in the chat would be like, "No, don't correct him." [laughter] But, like realistically, I think it's fine because even the children, you know, they correct a little bit as long as it's in Spanish. And using Spanish And I think under A O G, it's as long as it's in the context of >> [snorts] >> um it's you say it like this rather than explaining the rules, you just kind of say it. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. You wouldn't You wouldn't go to So, in A O G, you wouldn't go to your kid, "No, you got to use the first-person pronoun with this >> [clears throat] >> you know, [laughter] You just tell them how to say it. Bien. Bien. Bien. Bien. Okay. Ah. Yeah, it's the one with the zombies in it and la E la um God, all these words are right on the edge of my brain, but I just can't pull them. Okay, um Shama evil deer. >> [laughter] >> Mhm. Uh Uh sure Kiedes Uh Who God Uh Uh juego Con Uh two Mhm, contigo. Aha. [laughter] >> Contigo. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's um Muy bien. Uh Muchos gracias, muchos gracias, uh Ford O para Uh Two uh uh shuda Mhm. See, muy bien, muy bien. No idea if that's working. Um I have no idea, no idea what else to say. Uh Sure, uh quieros jugar uh FPS. Huh? >> Uh Sure Sure pense Uh Okay. Zom yeah, shopkins uh uh E Yeah, I I don't know how to say um I don't even know how to say zombie. Um Depende. But you know, puedes decir zombie. Mhm. But uh you know, what is this here? Zombie? Mhm. Or zombie? >> Zombie? Yeah, or zombie. See. Depende la Yeah. This is This is interesting. I seem to be even doing worse with gaming terminology than just with normal ones. That's what I get. I thought I'd do better gaming. What is your favorite color? Uh verde verde I think Verde como este verde? Yeah. Yeah, yes. Yes. Mhm. See see see. Verde verde Verde Uh I've forgotten everything. Recordar lo mas [laughter] importante Recordar I I I must [laughter] follow us. >> [clears throat] >> Um Vocabulario de Vocabulario de criminal vocabulario de de de tiroteo escolar It's like everything is As soon as you say it, I know it, but everything's just not there at my disposal. Nothing. >> family Um Show family tiene tienes uh Do Uh Do No hijas do brothers. I Oh, dos. I'm saying it in Spanish there. Yes, dos hermanos. Uh um mom and dad I don't know these words. I When I hear them, I know them. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, papa. y mama Yeah, padre y madre. and and madre Yep. Okay. >> [laughter] >> No, I don't I don't think so. It's it's like have you ever had in your language where you want to say a word, you know the word you want to say, but it's just it's like it's on the tip of your tongue. Like you just you have no idea what it is until someone says it. And when they say it, you're like, yes, that's the word. It's like that for the whole language. The whole language. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um Yep. son uh I forgot the English word for it. What is it? Breed. It's a um The Yeah, the Chinese word is now popping into my head. It's poo all, which is a rag rag doll. Rag doll. Okay, rag doll.
