Something I've noted recently is that I don't have to hunt for interesting Things to write about as often; websites and pages just show up on my radar. I'll try not to think about the surveillance state implications.Â
Whichever Big Brother is watching, they've noted that I'm learning Spanish. In fact, I've written about the thrills and pains of learning a new language before. And while Duolingo and Sabi hold their own, another competitor has jumped into the ring.
Dreaming Spanish posits that the only way to really learn a language (besides actually being in the country) is to hear it around you. To achieve this, they've compiled a list of videos, according to levels, for you to get used to actual Spanish speakers speaking about things you might actually encounter IRL, not just grammar rules and vocab words.
In a couple of months, it'll be a whole year since I started learning the language. To my great shame, I can still barely string along a sentence that is not "Yo no sé" ("I don't know", if you hadn't guessed).
I will test this new internet find and share the results with you. And who knows, by this time next year, you'll receive a Thing written entirely in Spanish (LOL).
I posit Just One Thing is the best source of all things internet - share it with a learner today!
'Ya no se' will be my 'kannada gothilla' now on.
