Even though he speaks really well, I don't think I'll ever get used to hearing Pablo speak English, I've listened to him speak in Spanish too much haha! Really interesting interview Olly, thanks for sharing!

When I started learning Spanish I found Pablo's video by chanse. I could not believe that for the first time ever I was able to understand it. It came as a shock to me as I was a total beginner at the time. I loved his videos so much I watched them all little by little and many times. Two year later I'm B2 and listen and watch the content for native audience. Pablo, you are a legend! Thank you for the inspiration!

Pablo's videos are insanely good for beginners. Actually wish there were channel like his for the languages I'm learning.

[MattBrooks-Green]

These online polyglot videos are like the Marvel movies where they all eventually team up to take on the skill building hypothesis 😂😂! I started with Dreaming Spanish before Spanish Uncovered. Great work guys!

My mother learned English by watching Price is Right and reading the newspaper. She speaks almost perfect English today. I've never believed that you need traditional systems to learn a language.

[teamo]

As a Dreaming Spanish simp, I approve.

[pavelgajdosik]

I didn’t know Pablo until today but I went to watch few of his videos and he does an amazing job making Spanish understandable without translation. I am an experienced language teacher (teach German) but Pablos videos are eye opening. I will have to try something similar. Thanks for introducing Pablo.

Pablo, cuando tú hablas el inglés, es como si fuera una diferente persona!

[SuperRand]

I honesty think comprehensible input is responsible to how far i've come with my Spanish. It's insane to think that a couple years ago I was genuinely convinced becoming bilingual was impossible, now I can see it happening relatively soon.

[chady]

NO WAY! Olly finally got around to chatting with my all time fav beginner Spanish youtube guy!

For any1 who's learning Spanish and don't know about him, check his channel out! The puppet vids are hilarious!

[LewisOsborne]

It’s strange to hear Pablo speak English!
Big fan of both your channels, inspired me to learn Spanish and document my progress ☺️✌🏻

[KeithDonegan]

Just found Pablo’s channel last week and it’s already one of my favourites for learning Spanish 💛

[jamesmccloud]

Big fan of Pablo and the Dreaming Spanish channel!

Machine learning is surely the way forward with language acquisition. Once someone can design an algorithm that can accurately understand each user's level of acquisition, their unique learning curve, their unique interests, and can then independently search the internet and find interesting immersion content suited to its user's preferences and learning curve - at that moment, we will have optimized language acquisition.

The question around the 6:30 mark about "how do I read stories when I don't understand anything" was definitely directed at me. I ask this to myself all the time since I can't speak to content creators. Thank you for that!

[Helena-vhsl]

After countless Dreaming Spanish videos, I think this is the first time I've ever heard Pablo speak English!

[muppet]

Just signed up to Dreaming Spanish and I think the genius is the ability to track your progress and going up levels.

[marionexley]

Wow how amazing that Pablo says he has learnt Thai without reading a single grammar book or without using google translate, how exciting!!!

[reefspanish]

Wow his English is really good! I already thought he knew his stuff, but this man clearly practiced what he preached!

[atverde]

Pablo does a great job for Spanish learning providing interesting content at all levels. Highly recommended!
