My Spanish History So Far
Hello All, Just some quick facts about how long I've been studying Spanish for context. (I encourage you to watch my intro video as well in classroom) Highschool: Spanish 1 through AP Spanish. I got a 3 on the AP exam but I hardly cared at the time because my university didn't take language credits. (I'm coping) College: No formal classes because I was a jackass! Instead, I self-studied and took probably 25 Italki lessons in total. Self study involved listening to Spanish podcasts / music and watching Spanish Language TV shows. Honestly a large step up in effort and ability from those 2-3 years. Outside of School: In the summer of 2022 I worked for a paint and drywall crew in Texas that was exclusively Mexican. Used Spanish pretty much every day at the time, but not exclusively, and always in limited fashion. (10 minute conversations at most. Classic beginner grammatical errors and trouble with future / past tense) Last few months: 1:1 sessions with the man Spanish w/ Nate. His impression of my Spanish gave me the confidence to start this community (He lied and said I was Advanced High 💪) Future: Ideally speaking for at least 5-6 hours every day with all of you studs.
