When you think you doing well on duo lingo...

[@leahm.lafferty8776]

Meeeee

[@ashleyailes376]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@someone-hz8tj]

duo lingo is good but you need to read to see how the language works in context. you also have to repeat a lot and learn words outside of it. listen and repeat, read out loud, get a lot of example sentences, see a lot of sentences in context. I can understand the idea but since I have not read enough (since I'm not advanced enough) I can't speak the idea correctly

[@tarasijan6301]

saaaaaame

[@solidbanjobanjo9367]

Hi guys thanks for all the likes, 8 months later I have decided to go back and watch this video and now I can understand pretty much all of it, there are words here and there that I don’t know what mean but I can understand the entire story quite easily, SO DONT GIVE UP! these things just take time that’s all!

[@mightyrem]

This is a high intermediate level for someone with good grammar and decent vocab, not for beginners.

[@carltaylor4942]

Romel - High intermediate or advanced. It uses complex subjunctive phrases - "para que se fuera" - for example. No way is it for beginners. I have degree-level Spanish and I am a Spanish teacher.

[@bluegtturbo]

Agree - I'm intermediate/upper intermediate and I there are some words new to me.

[@RockDavid]

THis is pretty much basic, if you learn the MOST COMMON 400 spanish words this really isn't that bad, this is where i am at after a few weeks. Some of the words are new, i am mostly here for listening building..But this is not possibly past beginners, the vocab is ultra basic..

[@oski7558]

¡Hola a todos (as)! Soy mexicano y les puedo decir que este audiolibro definitivamente no es para principiantes, quizá es para un nivel intermedio alto, pues ya usan un vocabulario extenso y complejo. Así que no se estresen ni se preocupen porque no entienden nada, poco a poco aprenderán. ¡Ánimo y mucho éxito! Actualmente yo estoy aprendiendo inglés y francés, y cuando escucho y leo audiolibros en francés tampoco entiendo nada, así que supongo que es igual.

[@horvis1varnsdorf]

Estoy de acuerdo contigo. Yo soy checo, de la república checa. Es un país cerca de alemania. La lengua checa es mi lengua materna. Yo entiendo este audiolibro sin problemas, porque yo aprendía mucho tiempo espanol.

Been doing Dulingo for nearly a year now, Thought that I was their star student, "This Book just crushed me,"

[@ksenias1040]

I can see how the content is basic i.e. For beginners BUT it doesn't account for the fact that beginners CAN NOT keep up with the fast pace spanish speech (or at least I can't 😭) nevertheless this has been very useful to me because at some point I just stopped trying to keep up with trying to UNDERSTAND and instead switched my focus on training my tongue with pronunciation 😆 so it's all good!

[@LingoMasterySpanish]

Practice practice practice! :-)

[@HowToPrintMoneyDotInfo]

slow the video down

[@courtnielink4967]

If you see the round cog (settings) on the lower right side of the screen, you can control the speed of the video by selecting "playback speed"--you can both slow it down and speed it up. Buena suerte!

[@suhae2175]

I'd say that this is still slow, but the vocab and grammar are definitely hard

[@linojakobsen7737]

@Mr Mister Some latinos may speak that slowly. In Spain unusual.

[@Carla369]

I came here by chance. I am a Spanish speaker as a first language and the story is so cute :D I loved the fact that this is the Spanish from Mexico, not from Spain, which is much easier for you guys and nice to hear.

[@engraciaangrillschuster8209]

I am a Spanish teacher and read the comments with interest. I agree the pace is too fast. I agree it needs a list of vocabulary and I agree this is an intermediate low level. That said, for all who are learning Spanish, start with easy "cuentos" on video (visuals help a lot). As you assimilate more vocabulary, try some short reading comprehension exercises for beginners (many available online), then try this again. I believe this is, as some noticed, for intermediate low level. Buena suerte!

[@elissa_is_bored3993]

Thank you! I was thinking that too these seem more intermediate rather than beginner

Yeah, as a Portuguese speaker I can understand 99% of the book with almost no study, because of the similarities of the languages, but I imagine that for English speaker with no roots on a Romance/Romanic language this is far from a beginner listening

Good concept. I do wish I could hear a Spanish story spoken as slowly as English is spoken though, and then gradually increase the speed as another story is told. I catch a few words but then get lost and then catch a few more. Spanish is beautifully spoken but so fast for a beginner.

I'd suggest keeping a translator open and searching the words you don't know. It may take some time but at least you'll learn some new words +understand the story;)

[@yeshemebet]

I don’t think this is for beginners because if I heard this story 7 months ago I would not understand much, but I have been studying Spanish for the last 7 months and I understood most of the story with few new Vocabs that I understood with context. A nice little story:)
