[@nicolegarcianastar8783]

Hello everyone! I'm a native Spanish speaker from Colombia as well and I'm so excited to see how many people want to learn my main language it's crazyyy. An advice I could give you is don't give up I know learning a new language is hard (I know thanks english :P) but the most important thing is the discipline and make mistakes don't worry about that a lot of people like I like seeing someone learning our language. I hope this comment and video encourage you, I know you can be fluently If you really want to. Have a good day/afternoon/evening/night wherever you are :)

[@TimKimMe]

Gracias por el comment y las palabras amables! La mayoría de la gente de Colombia es muy amable.

This is golden! I'm actually in the exact same spot you were but more advanced. I've been learning Spanish for years but haven't gotten to where I want to be yet.

[@masiihow5166]

I want to mention that it is impossible to learn a language in just 30 days from zero. But if your level is a2 b1 you could get fluent in 2 or 3 months!

[@KyloB]

I think people throw the word fluent around way too casually. I've been living in Germany for 4 years, got my b1 certificate in the first year and actively speak German all day every day and I wouldn't even remotely consider myself "fluent".

[@maia3420]

@@KyloBDepends on the individual and their effort level. Some people legitimately achieve B2 in 6 months or less while others spend decades in a different country and never achieve B1 in the new language.

[@sirmely]

@@maia3420 100% agreed I've heard from many Chinese Natives that quite a bit of people have fluently learned Chinese within a 6 month range.

[@Patricio_Marcel]

This was a great watch! I just dropped a video on how I learned in 6 months and one takeaway from that process was that I could have expedited my learning significantly. This video actually illustrates extremely well how to learn effectively in an expedited fashion. As a side note I freakin’ love the story telling and the way the video was shot / edited. Can’t believe I’m this late to this channel. Felicitaciones y bienvenido al club de gringos que por fin pueden hablar Español.

[@hollowedboi5937]

Contextual learning I think is awesome, difficult to construct by yourself, but great to mix and match phrases you will use often in multiple different conditions, especially with words connected by meaning or titles. Though a huge one is also your confidence, even if you’re embarrassed you talk to everyone its incredible

[@TimKimMe]

Haha I think I probably looked more confidence than I was! I just kept telling myself that it's okay to look and sound bad as long as I was learning and getting better lol.

[@user-fn6bs7nz4l]

First, congrats on becoming a dad! 😎The video is very informative would love to do this for German, which I studied in highschool and I worked in Germany for a while but all my colleagues spoke English. Still, I can understand German quite well due to exposure and it’s quite similar to my native language Dutch. But it’s so hard to form my own sentences because I barely have any experience speaking it.

[@TimKimMe]

Thank you! I know the feeling lol. Whenever anyone asked me (before the challenge) if I spoke Spanish since I lived in Colombia I felt super embarrassed. Immersion alone is not a good teacher. Try mimicry and "the tower method" of learning and let me know how it goes! You should be able to get to fluency pretty quickly.

[@sonderexpeditions]

The real answer is you didn't. Not possible even to reach a conversational B1 in a month. Clickbait title but good try for a start at the very long multi-year language learning journey.

[@krystalklearliving]

He should probably change the title to "conversational" instead of "fluent" in 32 days as he definitely achieved that. Would love to see someone with basic or no Spanish background attempt the challenge. I still swear by Baselang as the one of the best resources available.

[@geosmi0]

Agreed. He seems pretty disingenuous. He even states multiple times throughout the video that he couldn’t even say ‘Hola’ even though he lived in Spanish speaking countries and is married to a Colombian. Some good info I.e. use mimicry. But the video is just a big advert for baselang.

[@TimKimMe]

flu·ent - (of a person) able to express oneself easily and articulately. Everyone has different standards of what it means to be fluent. I can speak to my wife and any native Spanish speaker now with about 90% accuracy and convey my ideas and thoughts while understanding what's being communicated. Fluency isn't some standard you gatekeep and reserve, it's just a way to say that you can speak the language. Thank you for the compliment and yes, I'm still learning to continually refine my speaking.

[@TimKimMe]

@@geosmi0 lol... Where do I say I couldn't say Hola multiple times? I actually start the video off by explaining exactly what my experience with the language is.

UPDATE: I looked at Tim's link, but it just gives me the normal "Try for 7 days for $1", but doesn't tell how much it costs after the 7 days. Can you help, Tim?

Hey man! Of course, I'm human like everyone else haha. I always remind myself that we have a limited amount of time. I want to live life to the fullest and I have a lot of desire to make it even better. I also genuinely enjoy the journey of self-improvement and I've also learned to enjoy pushing myself. I used to feel depressed a lot but I did not have the luxury to experience it for too long as I've always had a lot of responsibilities. Something that also helps is to work on your mindset, I spent years reading a lot of personal development books which helped me get a strong grasp/control of my inner voice and dialogue. I hope that helps!

[@greadore]

You have good info but I wish people would stop using click bait to get views. There is no way someone can become FLUENT in Spanish in 30 days, especially from ZERO. This is not realistic and can harm people trying to learn because they begin to think something is wrong with them if they are not FLUENT in such little time. Also, it depends on what you mean by FLUENT.

[@TimKimMe]

Thanks, I worked hard to try an include all of the information that helped me learn. To address your point, I literally start the video off by saying that I had previous experience and even included my background. I never said I was learning from "zero", the thumbnail of this video even says from BASIC to fluent. I even summarize it AGAIN in the end that I personally don't think anyone can become fluent in 30 days. ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWfGc6qanbGXoZosi=bCclkxir7v1Laghk&t=760 With all that being said, if you put in 80+ hours of 1-on-1 private speaking lessons with natives and an extra 20+ hours of language input and review like I did in 30 days, you should at LEAST be conversationally fluent.

[@greadore]

@@TimKimMe thanks for the reply. I agree you mentioned more info once I started watching the video, but the overall title that someone sees before even watching the video is misleading.

[@TimKimMe]

@@greadore Can you explain how it's misleading? I could barely hold a conversation before and after my research and study I feel like I finally reached a level that I could confidently consider as fluent. What would you have labeled this video?

[@greadore]

@@TimKimMe the title implies that a person can speak FLUENT Spanish in only one month. This is seen as having no previous experience with the language as that is not mentioned at all in the title. Your previous exposure to the language in school, through trips to Spanish speaking country and interaction with your wife is a HUGE benefit and advantage compared to someone starting from zero which the title implies.

[@TimKimMe]

Nope, I def have to disagree with you on that one. Invoking curiosity is part of what brings people to your videos and a strategy you should use if you actually want to share your art + story. Even movies do this with trailers and misdirection. I very intentionally outline my background with Spanish as soon as the video starts to be as authentic and clear about my background with Spanish as possible and CLEARLY, if you actually watch the video I explain why I was able to gain so much ground in such a short period. Also, I stand by that if someone who had little to basic Spanish like I did followed my exact steps could reach conversational fluency like I did.
