1000 hours update vid

[@ShaneGodliman]

Congrats on the achievement bro! 1000 hours is a big milestone 💪🏽

[@tomasaprendeespanol2730]

I'm very close to 1,000 hours of immersion and my thoughts and experiences are very similar to yours. Keep up the great work!

[@pinay_and_languages]

Congrats bro for hitting 1000 hours!! 🥳🤯 Excited to hear about the output part of your journey bro. Saludos desde Filipinas!

[@aaronoffline8049]

Congrats on the 1,000 hours. I agree in my experience 1000 hours of input doesn't necessarily translate to being able to speak at C1, especially if it's mostly watching on a screen rather than immersing by interacting with people in person.

[@wordofshane2523]

Definitely can relate to the listening/output level disparity!

[@givemekape2418]

Yeah the comments someone made about output is so stupid. I went hard on output for a while, but constantly felt myself not understanding anything anyone else was saying to me and I also found that I didn't have enough vocab to output much anyway haha. so I similarly have changed my approach completely to 85% of my efforts being focused on input and once I get to a fairly high level, I'll start adding in more output practice. Also I firmly believe input is much more important anyways. obviously you acquire langue structure and vocab, but aside from that, its much more important to be able to understand what someone is telling you in a conversation than say something back. As humans, we have all sorts of creative ways to respond in a convo to get our point across, but you still have to be able to understand exactly what the other person is saying more or less. you dont have the same flexibility and freedom when listening. So to me it just makes sense that if one would be better, it should definitely be understanding input.

Lol, C1 at 750 hours It's more like 4,000 hours for c1. (In my personal experience, I followed the same method as you) good luck

[@KristinaQuiere]

Yeah I’m at about 750 hours and A2 speaker possibly is more like it.

[@Nelson-Cs]

gracias por el video !! sigue así Bro!! y espero que puedas alcanzar tus objetivos con el Español... Yo también estoy utilizando inmersión , consumiendo mucho input en ingles y espero empezar pronto con el output..

Dude I'm lazy too, I just lay on my bed, open tandem, go to this party system they have now, raise my hand so the host let me go inside and I just talk. At this moment there are like 12 parties opened for spanish. Go there get to know people, talk about yourself and your day and make friends. In less5han 5 min you can be in contact with natives, you frequent these parties often enough and people are instantly inviting you. Wherever you're taking a break you can just go there real quick and have a small conversation. Also do Mandarin Chinese

I'm learning Spanish myself, but I'm a little confused about the whole immersion thing. What is it?

[@spanishthroughimmersion6694]

Check out this website and it'll clear up a lot of things. refold.la

[@ryebread7905]

How do you define active vs passive immersion in your case?

[@spanishthroughimmersion6694]

I define it as active immersion is when I am spending like 90% of my focus on that and I am able to follow what is going without getting distracted too much. So If I am listening to something but doing something that is highly repetitive and doesn't require too much thought, than that is still active. But passive is if I am spending less than 90% of my focus on something and am doing something that requires a lot of mental processing, like playing a competitive shooter or studying. So passive immersion is essentially sounds playing in the background that you are not paying any attention to. However when I started learning, anything that wasn't watching something or reading something was essentially passive listening. Because I wasn't good enough in the language to actually be able to understand or even parse what was being said unless I was spending 100% focus on that and that alone. If my focus dropped for even a second than I would be lost and have no idea what was going on, and would take a while before I could understand the flow of what was going on again.

[@languagelearningdabbler]

I’m already impressed and not even five minutes into the video 😂🔥 Edit: I vote for Russian for your next language!

[@spanishthroughimmersion6694]

LOL Russian would be dope.

nice this video reminds me that I should start listening to spanish audio again because I've been slacking but also do you mean by being done with spanish is have spanish like you have english it's just a part of your life I guess.

[@spanishthroughimmersion6694]

yeah pretty much. like stop tracking and having set milestones and goals that i want to hit. Just watch what I want to watch and read what I want to read whether its in Englighs or Spanish. But in order to do that, I first need to build more connections with people and put myself out there a bit more.

[@thelanguagecaviller3657]

Are you going to start a different language next year? Edit: nvm you answer that later in the video. I vote for Cantonese 🔥🇭🇰

[@hereinspiration227]

Thanks for video

[@kareem4u]

although you aren't able to speak like you want can you read and listen fluently?

[@spanishthroughimmersion6694]

I can read and listen fairly fluently but there are still quite a few words that are unknown. So If I am reading a novel series that I'm really comfortable there might be 3-5 words per page that I don't know.

[@roylerroycerickson]

I don’t think you can expect to be that good at output after only 1000 hours in a language think how many a native has. Think what you can do with the English language you have no hope of doing that in another language. I think people have too high expectations.

[@spanishthroughimmersion6694]

That is fair I don't think you will be that good compared to a native. But You will still be able to do a lot of things in terms of hanging out with people, having fun and intimate conversations with people in the language and being able to complete most tasks and things you need to do. Once you have that amount of time you can enjoy most media comfortably to where you can enjoy a story and understand most of what is going on without the need of a dictionary as long as you are comfortable in that type of media. Will you understand all of the words in that piece of media definitely not. But you will be able to get sucked into the story time can fade into the background. After that it is pretty much just downhill from there. All the hardest parts about the language are behind you. And my people that start learning the language quit well before that point.
