falling in love with Spanish again

[@c.learningclub]

I'm a Spanish teacher and just wanted to say to all of you who are learning the language, that finding the intrinsic motivation is the real magic key to success. All the best for you! I absolute love my classes when the students are motivated. If any of you need any guidance with the language, feel free to let me know :)

[@itskingshon]

So I am not the only one in the Christian Spanish genre of music?? I discovered it when I picked Spanish back up a few weeks ago and I LOVVVEE it! Kenny Rivers, Madiel Lara, Dariana, Social Club Misfits! Todo son asombrosos! 😭

[@clarencehammer3556]

There is a lot if good Spanish Christian music. I listen to a lot if it on Friday evenings. I like the old hymns but also I like Marcos Witt very much too.

[@emigrace]

yooo i’m noting these downnnn 🙌🏼

[@FaithandFamiliaCo]

Amazing to see you’re Christian! 🎉

[@abhinavkarkare]

Falling in love with the language that you wanna learn is 'THE' thing. Otherwise, it really doesn't work.

[@emigrace]

amen 👏🏼

[@CarenElizabeth]

The exact same thing happened to me after I took the DELE C1 last November and only recently (in the last month or so) have I gotten excited about Spanish again. There's just something about those exams that really takes all the fun out of learning a language and burn you out. Glad you're finding the fun in it again :)

[@JazzminelLocher]

Im in the process right now of studying for the DELE B2 exam and for the life of me my mind goes blank during the oral part and the writing is hard and the listening but the reading section is my strongest. Any tips? Also I feel burnt out and my test is in a month.

[@duronestokes5051]

Yesssss praise God!! 🙏🙌 I'm so happy for you!! You played a HUGE part in me starting my Spanish journey a few years ago and so it gives me so much joy to see this beautiful breakthrough for you!!

[@ellacarter9863]

You have no idea how happy I am that you’re a Christian!! I love Spanish and I sometimes feel bad for watching Spanish videos instead of Christian videos or even Spanish Christian videos but watching your videos is awesome because I don’t feel wrong about it yknow? And you don’t seem lukewarm, like you have so much joy and you’re truthful about yourself and stuff. Anyway thanks a lot haha

[@emigrace]

❤️❤️

[@joeysung311]

Hi emi! I did find this totally inspiring because coincidentally, I also recently rediscovered the fun of learning spanish and I started reading a new book in spanish, listening to more music, etc! So such great timing on the video, and it’s awesome to see you so passionate and enthusiastic about it. Also I feel like your video editing skills must’ve improved since I last remember, it’s so polished and great to watch. Quizas podrías hacer más videos en español también, eso me encantaría

[@emigrace]

I appreciate that so much man, thank you! 🫶🏼

[@anna7276]

I always love your videos but I originally discovered you when you were in crazy Spanish learning phase and I miss those days! This feels like the old days and I love it!!!

[@emigrace]

🤍 I always appreciate your comments Anna!:)

[@paulwalther5237]

One activity I like is reading books written in English but translated to Spanish. It’s easy to find stuff I like this way and it’s easier to learn from context. It also feels relevant to me.

[@wuhoo19]

thanks so much for sharing about your faith and showing us some spanish resources to check out! a friend recently recommended spanish worship songs as a way to learn spanish, so this is very timely! looking forward to listening to some new artists!

[@emigrace]

love that! 🫶🏼

[@JustBenny12]

Recently my feed has been suggesting these small creators and I'm so glad it showed me this video...pacing is so unique love it!

[@emigrace]

thanks so much! 🤍

[@vschxhxl]

I was hardcore learning Spanish and your videos helped a lot! I stopped learning for over a year now I started back up and look who showed up on my KZbin?! Let’s get back to learning Spanish together!! Haha

[@emigrace]

🫡🫶🏼

[@Christian-q9s]

Also, one thing that helped me retain Spanish, I’m unsure if you’ve heard about comprehensible input but that has gotten me to at least a B1 level of Spanish. Helped me retain a good amount of it too! Dreaming In Spanish helped me too :). Un Montón

[@emigrace]

Dreaming Spanish is great, used to watch their stuff a lot!:)

[@CorwinLovesLangauges]

Man thanks for sharing your experience of being enamored of Spanish, so nice to see actual footage and enjoyment from language learning and Chrisitan music, I think I'll check that genre out, been trying to find some Spanish music😁

[@noeldillon6866]

I love that you recommended Spanish Christian speakers and worship music. I didn’t even think about that and I always listen to English Christian music. Love it!

[@aliennvomet]

Hi, Emi! We're in the same boat. I haven't spoken or practiced Spanish in a while due to school. But I am so excited to start practicing again once this semester is over. I'll have almost four months to dedicate time to the language and I cannot wait. I really enjoyed the video!

[@emigrace]

ahh wishing the best for you! 🤍

[@EricLovrien]

Very nice seeing a video from you again. Special on my favorite topic of Spanish. You video are top notch!

[@xojaci]

loved seeing this vid from you! :') when i started learning spanish i found your channel and it seriously always inspired me how much fun you made language learning !!

[@emigrace]

thanks so much 🥺🤍

[@davidjones4515]

That's awesome. I too have recently come back to studying Spanish after some time off. Wish I hadn't quit! I'd be so much further along.

[@siphomlambo9534]

just heard one of Andreas' sermons, all I can say is wow. It made me cry - one because of the content but also because I could understand over 95% and I have been doing Spanish for approx 6 months. Thanks so much for putting this out.

[@emigrace]

ah that’s so cool!! ❤️

[@user-wb1qr6sq2j]

These are awesome tips thank you so much! I'm learning Spanish through Dreaming Spanish and it's pure entertainment to me I don't feel like studying at all. My next goal is being able to play the Sims 4 in Spanish haha

[@tanyarenaissance8829]

You've persuaded me to check it out. As I want to have fun learning Spanish.

[@user-wb1qr6sq2j]

@@tanyarenaissance8829 definitely check it out, they have so many free contents for absolute beginners.

[@angietrif]

So much of learning a language is having fun with it and having passion and interest in the culture! That’s how I’m currently feeling about Japanese!! 頑張って

[@tanyarenaissance8829]

The irony. I love that i found your channel today and watched your video of you speaking Spanish and came to your channel to find this video also.

[@surrealchemist]

Its more fun to just consume media for me. I just match it with things I am interested in. Like I picked up synthesizers as a hobby so I subscribed to some youtube channels about that. There is one about movies I watch sometimes. I found some twitch and youtube channels about latin american politics. The book is good too. I read some of the stories in that one. The only thing I suck at is speaking! I think for that I just have to find a tutor or travel/visit some place to practice and get over my shyness/embarrassment.

[@theymademepickaname1248]

I recently discovered on line language exchanges via meetup.

[@ismygina]

this video is literally amazing??? the intro, the storyline, the edits?? AMAZING makes me wanna make better videos like wow

[@emigrace]

giiirl that’s so sweet, thanks so much xx

[@pixelpino8371]

Welcome back. Again your perspective provides wisdom. I am preparing for DELE B2 and a bit freaking out with the goal but I 💯 want to keep the passion and my love. I hope my "why" sustains me. Keep up the good work. God bless.

[@johnirvin5582]

I’m so glad you made this video! I love watching your language, learning videos. And I would love to see more of your journey on language learning, as it helps me with mine! Plus, you’re just fun to watch!!! Thank you 🙏🏼❣️🙏🏼

[@emigrace]

thanks so much 😊🙏🏼

[@myuniyt]

Aw your smile during he whole video 😭🫶🏾 i too am in love with learning Spanish and the various things that come with learning the language

[@ARWyYA]

Yes Emi! My level of spanish is pretty low still but I was able to talk to my Lyft driver and a painter from Mexico in Spanish when I visited Nashville- and it motivates me so much- sigue adelante!

[@emigrace]

that’s so cool! happy for you!! 🤍

[@TrustNotMyHeart]

It’s been a year since I left Mexico and my Spanish is crusty. And it hurts snd I am scared too. This week wrecked me and I said no no. I couldn’t say quickly ahora que he comido. Couldn’t think of comido. No way José. Im about to get back on the grind.

[@dustsettles6099]

I came here through your B2 video, I will sit mine this year. I'll try not to cram for a month, but that's my factory setting too! This video was great as you shared the christian artists and the Mexican pastor, I am currently in Mexico to study! Thanks again, and God Bless!

[@jimschuler8]

The Montaña rusa of learning Spanish is full of crazy, fun, depressing, exciting and skip worthy moments. It’s a marathon. You need to reconnect with your friend you spoke with. I was bummed at that time that I didn’t have a buddy to bounce things off of.

[@Kaskaderka016]

I literally found your channel last week after spontaneously signing myself up for the DELE B2 (that is next month) so it's so nice that I chose to go back to Spanish now!

[@KurtAppolis]

Your drive relearning a language is amazing, and your video/vids are so inspiring.

[@emigrace]

🙏🏼🤍

[@YanitaGeorgieva]

oh we are SO BACK (love your language-learning content so much, going through a very similar thing with italian!)

[@yanna8845]

okkkkk editinggggg 🤩 sooo nicely done I swear I watched on normal speed and didn’t even feel the full 7 mins 😅🙈 but I can relate 💯! my love for spanish learning was also recently rekindled, and having fun with it makes such a huge difference!! blessings on our spanish journey and other endeavors 🙏🏼💕

No has subiendo un video en un tiempo! Bueno por a verte otra vez

[@alynalin]

I missed your learning language videos. A while ago, i started learning Fench. It's quite complicated, but i enjoyed it. You had an experience with French. Can u give some advice or tips ?❤

[@emigrace]

i struuuggle with French as well 😅 but Language Transfer is an app I always point people to!

[@WanderingTuckers]

Que bueno... Me encanta escuchar canciones de la iglesia también y mis favoritos son a capella (sin instrumentos) porque es más fácil para entender. Dios te bendiga!

[@emigrace]

gracias 🙏🏼

[@paulwalther5237]

I don’t think you will forget a language that easily. Unless you crammed hard for a month for a test then maybe all that will disappear. But if you are consistent with studying or using Spanish for 3+ years you should be good.

[@edubicuo]

Bravo!!! 👏👏👏 I admire how you incorporate visual storytelling into a language-learning video. Continúa así y buena suerte. ✌🙂

[@emigrace]

thanks man I appreciate that 🙏🏼🫶🏼

[@mieraymaher]

I am learning spanish now because of you 🥹🥹

[@clarencehammer3556]

I have found that preachers are usually easier to understand. One I can recommend is Claudio Freidzon for Argentina. He has live videos on Saturday and Sunday. His church is called Rey de Reyes. The services are pretty long usually 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Lots of singing in the first part before the sermon. I watch sometimes on Saturday afternoons but not all the time. I have missed the last two Saturdays.

[@jessedupreez]

You have made me relise that Spanish christan songs are SOOO nice to listen to!! I sure want to lear Spanish once I'm does with my German in school. Oh BTW your Spanish might be a bit crusty,but you videos are the complete opposite!!! they are AWSOME!!!

[@emigrace]

thanks so much 🫶🏼❤️

[@SK-so1ml]

My thesis is that once you have reached B2 level, you need to give it one or two years not to forget it at all. If you are B2 on exam I feel like their speaking level is B1 and you forger everything in a heartbeat. My suggestion is to keep studying until you reach C1 on exam or keep studying another year or two after passing B2 :) Who the hell I am you ask? He olvidado todos hasta palabras basicas como tu hohoho

[@AdamH-n3l]

forget about loving the language, i love you!

[@ericktellez7632]

My recommendation is if the learning becomes too boring or begin to lack motivation then take a break with the learning of the language and instead get into learning the actual culture. Ask yourself do you actually know the difference between Spain Spanish and any other Latin American Spanish? What is “Spanish” and what is Hispanic? How is Latin America actually divided? Most Americans are completely unaware of where South America begins, what is “central america” and how many countries are actually North America. Learning all of that which is pivotal for what is considered “Spanish” really motivates learners once they feel they have a deeper connection to the region.

[@El_Estudio]

Okinawa - such a lovely island. Un lugar muy difícil de abandonar.

[@InputGuerreraEspañol]

hey! I love youre channel so much! It is so refreshing to see openly Christian content creators doing this style of videos! I plan on starting my own channel like this next year once I graduate highschool. I have also begun to take a lot of interest in learning languages and Spanish is definitely on that list. How long is the $200 off offer good for? I want a Chinese course for this upcoming schoolyear but idk if I'm ready to purchase it yet. New subscriber and I can't wait to see what videos you make next!

@@emigrace Thank you. I'm trying to find examples of KZbinrs who speak a second language indistinguishable from a native. You have native level English but it's really a first language for you.
