How To Learn Spanish Free Right Now - Day 33 - Final Day
Well today is the last day. I haven't done anything new today, just reviewed what I have learnt so that I could demonstrate it.
Rather than waffle on here about how things have gone (I think they have gone really well) I think the best way to assess my progress is to hear me speak some Spanish.
If you have been following this experiment for a while, you will know that I have been putting together a daily video that I have posted up on You Tube to record both the thoughts I have had and the ideas I have developed to help me learn a language more effectively.
Today is no exception and I have just this minute finished a 6 minute video of me rambling on in Spanish.
It is easy to forget your own progress when you are so close to it and so as I was adding the subtitles to the video so non-Spanish speakers could understand what I was talking about I suddenly realised that I had learnt quite a bit of Spanish.
In fact I was quite impressed (even if I do say so myself) about both the amount I have learnt and the sophistication of the words and phrases I am now able to comfortably use.
This is the start of my journey and because of the pressure of achieving in these last 33 days I have rushed a little bit in some areas. Now I am going to relax a little and consolidate what I have learnt and then start moving forward to greater proficiency in Spanish.
Fluency here I come!!!!

¡Felicitaciones, bien hechas!
Care to elaborate about mind maps? I understand the concept but am having a difficult time applying them with language learning.
I've enjoyed watching your daily updates.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Miguel…buen hecho chico.
Si tu quieres continuar con tu comprehensión en español, tal vez deberías escuchar Ritmo Latino, un podcast que consiste de una hora de música latina.
Ritmo Latino está disponible en la Red y también en iTunes. Está llena de música súper desde países como México, Argentina, Chile, Los Estados Unidos, Colombia, España, y Venezuela.
La verdad es que Ritmo Latino te quiere.
Cheers,
Neil

Congratulations….
I am impressed and cannot believe that on Day 1 you had limited knowledge. Out of interest how long did you spend learning as you mentioned before time goes so quickly when browsing when trying to put a program together. I am truly encouraged and keep up the good work.
I have just seen Neil's suggestion of Ritmo Latino and off to look at that.
Adios
