Progressing in the language journey (Spanish)

[dividedbyblue]

For a year and a half now, I've been (lightly) learning Spanish, mainly with Duolingo, Anki, and watching a daily novelita. Sometimes I try and read Spanish fanfics. I must say, I learned a lot in that time period, though I mainly learnt understanding language, not speaking or writing it. I started with a textbook a few days ago, which will hopefully help me with the latter.

Nevertheless, I see progress all around. I've recently restarted a rewatch of Cable Girls with original audio and Spanish subs, and I can mostly understand it! I'm so happy. I remember watching the series a few years ago. It was my first experience watching a Spanish show. I was intrigued by the language but understood nothing, did a first attempt at learning with Duolingo, but it didn't work out. I'm so happy that I've now reached a level where I can mostly understand a TV series now!

Are you learning a language now? Or do you know other languages beside your mother tongue?

Oh Cable Girls! I watched that during Christmas at my mom's last year. It was a fun one :) TV was how I learned English, so having something enjoyable to watch (not to mention the thrill of understanding without subtitles) can boost your learning so much. I never really got going on a third language but Spanish is one I can pick up the meaning from every now and then.

Having something enjoyable to watch definitely helps with learning a language ^^ I watched Cable Girls till season 2 or 3, I'm not sure. But I'm loving the rewatch :)
