Contigo pan y cebolla

I love this expression in Spanish, which means "with you bread and onion". It is equal to "with your through better or worse" in English.

For some reason I kinda like the number 1138. It took me more than three years but finally, here it is. I still suck at Spanish though.

Most of adulthood, I assumed I'd condemned myself to monolingualism by avoiding studying Spanish in HS (notoriously bad teacher). In the tenants' mvmt the limits this imposes comes up often, paining me. A few months ago I learned about "comprehensible input," changing everything. Over the years, I'd dabbled with app learning, but never built the habit. Then this fall, members of TANC discussed but ultimately didn't come together around taking community college Spanish together. I decided to investigate self-directed learning methods.

Somewhere in the process of that search I stumbled upon a thread that mentioned Dreaming Spanish, a site & youtube channel that teaches learners beginning from zero knowledge, using the comprehensible input method. youtube.com/@DreamingSpanish
dreamingspanish.com/method
The premise, which has relatively substantial research backing & lots of anecdotal support, is that the fastest way to learn is to approximate how we learned our 1st language(s)—by receiving a huge amount of "input" (& nothing else, not grammar, not memorization, not speaking).We learn most from "input," as theory goes, when we understand most of it, ie when it's "comprehensible" to us. E.g. watching videos with illustrations, gestures, & slow speaking entirely in the language (or else through crosstalk, ie similar communication from a real speaker).

In the hardcore version of comprehensible input held by the Dreaming Spanish crew, you only need to take in progressively more complex, but consistently understandable, real use of the language by native speakers, up until an advanced level of understanding. After hundreds of hours, you have unconsciously learned the basics of the languages vocabulary, grammar, and sounds, only at which point do they recommend reading and conversation. Until then, its video, crosstalk, and eventually audio input.

At the same as I encountering comprehensible input, I was reading Jacques Ranciere's the Ignorant Schoolmaster, which describe an 19th century French teacher who taught Flemish students to learn French without knowing a word of Flemish—by handing them books in French.

I wasn't serious about this until a couple weeks ago, but now I'm hooked & watching an hour & a half of Spanish videos a day (at 1.5x speed, at least), largely replacing TV. I've already moved on to more difficult videos. Its way more engaging & easier than an app or class. If I'm able to stick to the learning plan I've set out, which has me increasing input as I become comfortable w/ just audio (podcasts around the house etc), & if the timeline laid out by the program is anywhere near accurate, I'll be conversational within the year. Unbelievable.

New phrases I just learned.
Gift opening chants in Spanish.

¡Que lo abra! (= Open it!)
¡Que lo preste! (= Hope you lend it to me!)
¡Es de marca! (= Hope it's real!)

Please give me your language learning tips.
I'm learning Spanish, but I imagine a lot of tips apply to any language.

I'll start:
The first one someone gave me that I remember was:
Music in your chosen language is great, you've got repetition and memorisation of lyrics, couple that with looking up the lyrics and practicing translating them.

Starting off with some Easy Spanish, just doing things easy like Language Simps’s method. The Easy Spanish YouTube channel (and podcast) is truly a blessing. My Spanish skills are not great but I’ll get there little by little.

I am excited to try the easy content of the other languages soon too. ❤️✨

If anyone is , I highly recommend app. I've learnt more in half an hour with it, than I did in weeks with .
It actually explains what it is teaching you, as opposed to just throwing words at you 😅
