And cliche or not, Casa del Papel is my literal goal for now. When I can watch that in the native, lispy Spanish, I'll know I've made it!

Another useful thing I find is watching Youtube travel videos starting with people that speak English primarily, but they are travelling in Spanish-speaking countries and interacting with locals in Spanish. I think this is useful early on, and it's a very passive way to gain some more phrases. An example might be Adventure Elliot who is an American living in Spain, he has an English channel which you get a mix of English and Spanish. Also, he has a Spanish channel which is all in Spanish, he also speaks very clearly. Buena suerte para ti!

Hi Matt. My target language is french, and I have just discovered an author that I really like. Her name is Theresa Marrama. She also writes graded readers in Spanish, Italian, and German.
Thank you so much for this wonderfully informative video. I know this will be a video that I return to in the future when I begin my journey into the acquisition of Spanish. 😊

This was one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen. Thank you for being forthcoming with these resources etc. 🙏🏾

¡Cuéntame! is a very good easy level podcast by Marta Ruiz Yedinak, it's based around Comprehensible Input, she speaks slowly on a topic, then repeats the whole thing at a more normal speed. Very rarely she translates a word to English.

Keep it up with the videos, Matt. The content is great and production level is fantastic. I’m confident the channel will continue to grow fast as it looks like it already is. Not only are your videos informational but also motivational, helping me keep going in trying to learn

I recommend the book Diálogos by Jordi Sierra i Fabra. It is written for native Spanish speakers, but I can easily follow with my intermediate Spanish skills. The dialogues are like real life, but are more for adults. But the best part is the accompanying audiobook (Audible)! It's not just an audio book but rather an audio play where the dialogues from the book are acted out by excellent voice actors. They stick almost 100% to the text in the book (there are minor deviations). Reading and listening at the same time helped me a lot to improve my listening comprehension.

Great video! I read through quite a number of Chapters of Madrigal's book. I am probably half way through but now am just sticking to reading and listening to podcasts or watching YouTube videos for simple stories, so I haven't really bothered to continue reading it. The best part of the book is that it gives you tricks to convert the English you know into Spanish. Thanks especially for the podcast recommendations. I really also like Chill Spanish listening practice; it is the one of the few podcasts I can actually understand as a beginner. Almost all the others I looked at are too difficult.

I listened to the bank heist Duolingo podcast because you recommended it to me in a comment response to a previous video. As of this message, it’s the only non-fully Spanish podcast I have in my Overcast right now.

As always, Matt, good to see and hear from you! Glad to see you focus in a little on Spanish rather than the more general advice. Glad we have both but definitely enjoying this more necked-down stuff!

Me encantan tus videos, me ayudan a hacer mi listening en inglés jeje .
¡¡Buena suerte a todos!!

hi thanks so much for this. you might have forgotten to link the youtube channels you mentioned in the description. i would love to check them out

Try Language Transfer. Excellent free course. Teaches you to think in/through the language. I am currently using it for Italian while also listening to beginner and intermediate content. Love it! Great video btw. Would be nice to see a video for how to find/create resources for less popular languages.

Could you please guide me on creating a video demonstrating how to use ChatGPT for studying?

I loved that you did the audio book for Atomic Habits. I guess it's no surprise, it's one of the most popular books around. But, like you, I've read the physical book, listened to the audiobook several times and last weekend, when I needed some Spanish for passive listening when I wouldn't have my hands free (gardening), I decided to give it a go, and found, like you, that I understood a good amount.

[PeaceAchance-oslj]

For me, Pimslauer was a good starting point, but you definitely need to do more.

[damianloder]

Hi Matt, your thoughts on lingopie and fluentu?

[kazeppa]

Hi! When do I know when the output stage should begin? With my previous journey with Spanish, I just spoke immediately. I want to try the silent period, so I want to know when to allow myself to speak!

[Nighteye]

Would you recommend picking a accent to focus on? I was thinking Mexican Spanish is what I'd like to learn if I start and the job I'm at now there's lots of Spanish speakers.

I could not find the 3rd recommended native youtube video after clavero....is it tear...or ter
