Today is day 300 of learning Spanish! Bloody hell. I lost motivation really hard around day 150 so a lot of days I’ve just been redoing lessons from previous stages which are super easy. There are still periods of a few days where I am super motivated and try to push through and keep advancing, but they’re not the majority.
I’ve been trying to think about how I’d say certain things in Spanish, or imagining being In Spain or south America and needing to speak Spanish. Most of the ways to express myself are probably improper, but Spanish seems to be considerably less complicated than English in its grammar rules. I love that for a lot (maybe most?) questions, you just make a statement, but then raise your tone slightly at the end and then it’s a question.
I’ve also been watching a lot of South/Latin American travel content, and although I don’t understand very much (and it seems most people there talk at about 500 words per minute), there’s a few times when I hear a word and I’m all “OH MY GOD I KNOW WHAT HE SAID! I KNOW WHAT HE SAID!!!”
I’m currently in section 2 - unit 5. There are 26 units in section 2, and 8 sections in total. Although I think the later sections are longer (section 1 is 8 units, section 2 is 26, presumably the rest are the same length or longer)
I know that I want to keep my streak until the 365 day mark, but I’m not sure if I will once I cross that, or if I’ll let it expire
