Las Chicas Gilmore en Español, ¥listo!
Förstod jag allt? Nej, men tillrÀckligt mycket för att inte störas av det jag inte förstod. Med hÀnsyn till det, plus de partier dÀr de inte pratar alls, bokförde jag i snitt 20 minuter per avsnitt (av 42). SÄ totalt blev det cirka 50 timmar #comprehensibleInput .

@weddige I personally found the comprehensible input approach really game changing for me, tldr: learn a language with ever so slightly more difficult "input".
Only research can show if it indeed is that much better than traditionel language learning however the way #DreamingSpanish presents the approach really gave me a fun, rewarding and functional way to learning the language.

I've compiled a list of TV show & movies for beginners to intermediates to watch in te reo Māori. Any suggestions are welcome.

I've written a new blog post summarising my te reo learning progress in the past month, and shared my small goals for the next month.

> "The main problem I’ve had this month was consistency in doing listening and reading immersion. Even though I find them enjoyable, other things take up my free time and I didn’t spend as much time as I want to."

I brist pÄ en "Dreaming Croatian" anvÀnder jag tv-serier pÄ Netflix dubbade till kroatiska, importerade till LingQ. TyvÀrr gÄr det inte att spela in videodelen, och dessutom Àr videouppspelning i LingQ ganska vÀrdelös, sÄ jag gÄr nöja mig med ljud och text. Jag klipper bort allting som inte Àr dialog, sÄ dÄ blir varje avsnitt sÄ hÀr. Det tar ett par dagar att gÄ igenom allting och slÄ upp alla nya ord och uttryck. Till slut Àr det faktiskt nÄgra som fastnar. #ComprehensibleInput

100 days ago, I made a commitment to learn te reo Māori. Now, I've published a blog post to explain my approach and progress so far.

Learning te reo Māori
A mix of grammar study, digital flashcards and 'Comprehensible Input'.

Generally the largest hurdle at the beginning is learning the individual sounds of Mandarin that are quite a bit different from English.

Comparativley, English has more vowel sounds, while Chinese has more consonant sounds. So, it's a bit of a struggle to accurately produce them if you can't hear the difference.

I would advise going through the IPA (international phonetic alphabet) for mandarin and mapping the places of articulation to the appropriate Pinyin.

At the same time, there should be a focus on getting lots of novice level input so that you can better hear the sounds. Youtube has a lot of comprehensible material that definitely should be taken advantage of.

The comprehensible input can also be used to learn the characters and to practice reading and writing with them.

Basically Pinyin is an indispensable tool to learn Mandarin, but also to write and to read it. It would be prohibitively time consuming to not use it, if someone is coming from a language using the Latin alphabet. It should definitely be used in conjunction with learning the rest of the language.

Det har blivit nÄgra videos hos #DreamingSpanish nu. Ett par hundra av dem har jag faktiskt inte sett utan bara klickat bort, som nÀr de spelar Minecraft. Men ÀndÄ. De har ytterligare drygt 800 videos, sÄ jag har att göra ett tag till. #ComprehensibleInput

Det gÄr framÄt. 1250 timmar nu. Sedan verkar man inte vara helt flytande i spanska förrÀn efter nÄgonstans mellan 2000 och 3000 timmar, men efter cirka 1000 timmar funkar ju podcasts och tv-serier för att samla tid, sÄ det blir allt enklare. #DreamingSpanish #ComprehensibleInput

Det Àr lÀngre mellan varje nivÄ ju högre man kommer, sÄ frÄn nivÄ 6 till sista nivÄn 7, Àr det 50% av tiden jag Àgnat hittills. Med samma tempo som tidigare Àr jag dÀr vid nyÄr. Lite trist att inte fÄ "levla" tills dess, men det Àr Ä andra sidan ju spanskakunskaperna som Àr det viktiga.

Since it came up several times at #pyconus, I thought I’d post here. The method I’ve been using to learn Spanish (and liking quite a bit), is Comprehensible Input.

A good starting point for finding information about CI, and finding materials in your target language is Compehensible Input Wiki

For Spanish, I started with Dreaming Spanish

@calisti I don't but on the topic of language learning you might be interested in the #ComprehensibleInput approach, i.e. learning or acquiring q language by hearing/reading content in the target language which is just slightly above ones own level.
For some languages there are already different Video Channels offering content(publicly available) and if you are at an intermediate level there are even more Podcast for learning.
Might be worth trying such an approach depending on your goals, target language and circumstances as it can provide a lot of benefits compared to "traditional" language leading as offered by Duolingo etc

Lately I've been watching/listening to a lot of content about regarding . What's been tripping me up is that most content creators say the Goldilocks range is knowing 95-98% of the words and then a few minutes later they say that you should only be highlighting unknown words once every page or two. If each page has 250-750 words and 2-5% of words on the page are unknown, the MATH says 4-40 words on each page are unknown.

Livet med #comprehensibleinput Àr lite lustigt. Jag tittar nu pÄ nÄgra videos som jag sÄg första gÄngen för ett par mÄnader sedan, och uppfattar nu en massa ord som jag vet att jag har lÀrt mig senaste tiden. Men förra gÄngen reagerade jag inte ens över deras existens. Jag hörde dem inte, det var bara brus. Som videon dÀr folk kastar en boll fram och tillbaka mellan sig, och man ska rÀkna antalet kast. HjÀrnan Àr konstig.
