The SECRETES behind language learning with Dreaming Spanish Founder

[@mitchcohen4870]

Pablo is the reason why I can speak Spanish right now. Awesome interview.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Honestly its the same for myself

[@JosephMatthews-g4v]

Super interview. Those of us who have watched thousands of DS videos feel that we know Pablo. We do trust him. He did deliver on his promises and not a high cost. We, the learners are in charge of how tense or relaxed we are. He said it out load. Relax, listen, watch and let the language wash into us. With 1700 hours I am on native content and continue 2 hours + each day. Pablo is the real deal. Thank you.

[@romeop2345]

Yeah but you can’t communicate in your target language 😂 clown

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thanks so much for the support. WOW! 1700 that is huge. Have you started speaking yet?

[@JosephMatthews-g4v]

@@Lukelearnsspanish Yes. One cannot stop it. The new language just comes out. I have not forced it. Like a little kid, it just come out of us.

What an honor to speak with Pablo. ❤ Awesome work 👍🏻

Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.

Pablo is the GOAT! What a great interview. Thank you both.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thanks!

[@AlFrazelle]

Weird listening to Pablo for half an hour and not being able to add it to my daily input :D

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

yeah aha is a little strange

[@martincrabtree]

I can't believe you got an interview with this legend. Great job!

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

aha yeah, I was thinking the same when I set it up.

[@emwyzed6336]

The man, the myth, the legend himself! Got recommended your channel by being a dedicated DS learner, a great find :)

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Welcome aboard!

[@markalford9535]

What i like about learning with CI under Dreaming Spanish is i know what it is going to take. It is a major time commitment but that is obvious from the beginning.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yep, no one everyone agrees it takes thousands of hours of commitment.

[@melpomene-od1wh]

i love pablo 🥺🥺🥺 he is going to change language learning for the better

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah I think so too. Hes changed the game.

[@martinmcquade1280]

Brilliant interview!! I’ve been following Dreaming Spanish since July 2022 and have over 1200 hours of input, 50% of which is from Dreaming Spanish. I am so pleased with my level of Spanish and it’s all thanks to a chance discovery of Pablo and Comprehensible Input. Thanks for doing the interview and best of luck with your Spanish learning journey 😊

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thanks so much for the support! :)

[@El_Soldado]

¡Ahora tienes que hablar!

[@DeeCee1984]

The interview that Pablo did on Steve Kaufman’s channel is how I discovered Dreaming Spanish 👍🏼. I am now in level 4 🙌🏼

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Very nice, I think interviews like this one and that one helps people discover the method especially when they are in english.

[@seaton1288]

It feels weird hearing pablo speaking english

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah i know right aha

[@j4513]

11:10 thank you, Pablo, for this answer! Very helpful and I am finding I definitely have more stamina when I follow your advice here!

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

yeah just going with the flow can help so much I think!

[@ek4550]

Four hundred hours on DS exclusively. Love it.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Very nice, well done

[@guymgraham]

Great interview. Dreaming Spanish is the reason that I can speak Spanish and have spanish speaking friends!

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yep, it’s a great platform. Helped so many people who never would of thought they’d be able to learn Spanish.

[@Vamos1969]

Exactly. Acquiring a language through CI really does work.

[@marywright8221]

Nice interview with this visionary man.....DS is a wonderful and fun resource! Thank you for this interview.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thanks for the support!

[@protegea5930]

Great interview. I learned a lot about his vision of Dreaming Spanish.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah it was interesting hearing more about his backstory and why he started DS

[@miriamspandereta]

Pablo’s not divulging what his 2nd comprehensible input language offering will be!

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah aha I tried to get an answer

[@charmainecavin587]

Nice video with Pablo, you asked the questions on my mind about the DS method

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah i honestly wanted to ask some questions I wanted to know the answer too as well lol

[@SimplyChinese]

Haven’t seen Pablo being interviewed for a while!

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah I was very happy to get him on.

[@ChrisRibMusic]

Me gusta ver tu canal mejorar. Primero un entrevistó con Mike y ahora con Pablo. Muy interesante y entretenido. Buen hecho, Luke.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

gracias Chris!

[@preslim84]

i totally have the same issue with my brain getting tired after only 1-2 hours doing CI for japanese, but I'm only just starting so i'm hoping the more I do the easier and longer I can do it .

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah I think over time it will just go away that strain. I find I can last a lot longer now listning to Spanish without getting exhausted.

[@dummyahh8470]

WE LOVE PABLO! Its so weird hearing him speak english lmaoo

[@SteveSpanish]

Thanks a lot Luke. 2 very cool thoughtful guys talking a lot of sense. Hope you get to meet him for a beer someday.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thank you!!

Luke!!! Keep up the amazing interviews!!🎉🎉🎉

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thank you! Will do! and good luck with your own spanish journey. I will continue to follow along.

[@espanol9498]

It worked for me for English and Japanese. Now I`m doing Spanish the laziest way possible, plus I`m cheating cause I`m Brazilian. Spanish is fun.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

aha nah work smarter not harder. Good luck with learning spanish, im sure it wont take you too long. How long do you think it would take to be fluent?

[@alperaslan.]

How many hours comprehensible input took the talking Japanese?

@@Lukelearnsspanish No problem man! Looking forward to the future videos

[@brandonoishi]

Great interview. He said he listened to Japanese for 16 hours a day for 6 months, that's crazy lol. I wonder how he stayed tuned in or what other resources he used during those 16 hours or if it was just Japanese.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah I know right pretty crazy

[@VernonSwanepoel]

Amazing!!!

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Vamos1969]

That can happen a lot. When you're speaking and a word or phrase just comes out that you don't even expect to say. they just seems to come out automatically without thinking about them first. Infants do the same after so much input, they'll start blurting out words and phrases, that are quite funny when they do it. Acquiring a language through CI really does work!! A question to ask the doubters is how did they acquire their local accent in their language. Did they acquire it through grammar books or through input?

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Yeah ever since i started it just made sense. Like we have all acquired our native langauge before

[@KevinW845]

Great pod.

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thanks very much!! Glad you enjoyed

[@badboybootz8]

Thank you guys

[@yarathofficial404]

Great video! What is your experience in hitting almost 300 hours or having 300 hours or more in Dreaming Spanish? A lot of the intermediate videos, I still have a difficult time understanding. Recently, I went back to the super beginner and beginner level because it is easier. According to dreaming Spanish, I am intermediate level, but discouraged because I cannot fully grasp the intermediate videos. Also, what is your opinion in listening to videos that we do not understand most of the time? If we watch videos that is not our level and we understand some stuff, would that still help our input and understanding?

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

I am for sure not an expert or anything on CI and the science behind it all. However I had the approach of if you can understand what is going on and are somewhat able to be entertained by it.

[@michaelaltawil]

Wow 😮😮😮 congratulations Luke ❤🎉

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thank you!

[@Rumpole1000]

I'm a big believer in comprehensible input and watch Dreaming Spanish videos everyday (150 hrs so far) as well as Spanish podcasts while driving. Heres a question though. A lot of times I find myself not concentrating on whats being said and am really just day dreaming and not really consciously listening. Do you think thats still beneficial to me? Is part of the brain still soaking in that Spanish or once I lose concentration am I wasting my time? Its hard for me to gauge because while my Spanish is definitely improving I still use other forms of learning too. Italki once per week, lessons with a teacher once per week. Pablo would be horrified but I even work on grammar, Lol. So I cant really tell whats been most beneficial in helping me improve. I suspect all of the above but I do know that comprehensible input out of all those is the most important. But just curious what other people think about the benefits of comprehensive input when one has temporary 'switched off' and isn't always actively listening to whats being said.

[@LearningSpanish-so6zh]

"Pablo would be horrified ..." - He'll be showing up at your house with a SWAT time in the next few hours ;-)

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thanks for the comment. To be honest I really don't know what the answer is. If i had to guess passive input I think would still help but times when your more engaged would asisst more.

[@franceshall7127]

i love it

[@Lukelearnsspanish]

Thanks

[@misscamay]

I luv Dreaming Spanish but website has been glitchy for the past months, never got fixed so I unsubscribed.

[@ИгорьМашнин-ч7в]

First he says that other methods "are not effective" and dreaming Spanish will teach you faster and then he says "you don't need to rush it". Remember that your goal is not to learn Spanish. It is to watch 5 000 or 10 000 hours of dreaming Spanish videos. Wow. Imagine how cool that is. Don't rush your learning.

[@englishfiesta]

You’re just a straight up hater lol. And your comment shows your ignorance as you lack even a basic fundamental of the language learning roadmap put together by dreaming Spanish Nice try buddy but dreaming Spanish is only going to continue growing bigger and bigger 😁

[@brandonclayton7771]

Have you even tried the method?

was he in a house fire recently?

Snake oil Salesman Pablo

[@Vamos1969]

Explain why you wrote that?

[@esegringoamericano5258]

Pablo helped me learn more Spanish than Pimsleur, Michel Thomas, Assimil, and Duolingo and it's not even close. You're either a troll, or severely misguided if you think Pablo is a snake oil salesman.

[@Vamos1969]

@@esegringoamericano5258 They're either trolls or haven't got the motivation, dedication and cojones to actually give it a try. It takes a massive amount of hours but some people won't don't and still expect the magic method to fall out of the sky for them. We know that it works, that's all that matters. No saben lo que dicen. Dejarlos con sus tonterías. 👍

[@brandonclayton7771]

I know right? $8 a month. Talk about breaking the bank

[@Vamos1969]

The only snake here is you. You've never tried doing comprehensible input or Dreaming Spanish. You don't have any idea about language acquisition and how it works.

How did you get an interview with pablo?
