Go to ES - Reflections

I’ve been more consistent with Anki than ever. So I’m excited about that. I’ve spent less time in Anki because of this.

have been getting a little bit every day, even on the bad days.

I am not consistent with sentence mining, I need to work on that.


I’ve noticed a leap in comprehension after around 50 hours.


Yesterday was the last day of the 3rd week on the course with Refold.

Some small wins since starting the course:

  • I almost have 40 hours logged over the last 3 weeks with anki taking up 14% of the time and 56% of my time has been Netflix.
  • I’m on day 18 of my anki streak, it doesn’t sound like much but my last streak was only 14 days long.
  • All in all I have stayed quite consistent except for yesterday, I didn’t finish my anki reps.
  • I found some commentary content for big brother and masterchef so I’m going to see if I can find some of those episodes to watch too. It turns out that reality tv is a great source because I can hear normal unscripted conversations.
  • Today I did 30 mins of free-flow immersion with La Casa de Las Flores and understood almost everything. There were only a few things I didn’t understand or missed per scene but it makes me want to keep trying. Now my brain feels tired but hopefully it gets better. 

Minimising anki time and maximising immersion is one of the best things I’ve done for my Spanish so far though there’s still a lot I struggle with, I hope it gets better and better.
