Ever wondered what it’s like behind the scenes at Dreaming Spanish? Andrea spills the beans…
At Dreaming Spanish, you will learn Spanish the way you learned your native language, namely, through immersion. Simply start watching content at a level that is comprehensible to you, and gradually work your way towards more and more advanced videos.
As researchers like Dr. Stephen Krashen have shown over the past 40+ years, receiving comprehensible input, that is, messages that you can understand in the target language, is what actually results in language acquisition.
By listening to our stories, cultural expositions, conversations and games, you will get used to real Spanish as it's used in context, and develop a native-like intuition for the grammar and the vocabulary, together with a clear pronunciation.
Experience the language. Become the language.

In one video from the early days, Pablo and Adria were recording a video in Pablo's apartment and Adria picked up Pablo's underwear off the floor and showed it to the camera, so I don't think you have to worry about what shows up in the background of your superbeginner videos, Andrea la Mexicana 😄

I will still never never forget her beginning lesson on Pocahontas, Pocahontas! What an actress. She uses learning aids and her hands so well to help learning!
Andrea, No puedo creer que en Noviembre estaba viendo tus videos de Super Beginner y ahora en Mayo estoy viendo tus videos de avanzado y entendiendo todo lo que dices. Gracias y gracias a todos en Dreaming Spanish. Dreaming Spanish is sooooooo much better than the Rosetta Stone I started with.
Thank you for all the great videos! They might be the hardest to do, but you are actually insanely good at the (super-)beginner videos. With all the acting they really come to life

From a superbeginner learner of Spanish here in Canada......Andrea your drawings are "PERFECTO !!". Please keep your content coming. I am actually learning a language. Muchas Gracias!!!
Andrea, we appreciate all of your hard work, energy, and time that goes into these videos. They always are very entertaining and very helpful as well. Thank you for all that you do and enjoy your day :)
Wonderful video. We all truly, very truly, benefit from the hard work that you and the other instructors put into Dreaming Spanish. You are part of a great organization, and are making a positive impact on global learning.
Dreaming Spanish is special to me because I can learn so much about people around the world!
Thanks Andrea! I loved this video. Although I’m actually more Intermediate than Advanced, I was able to understand almost everything in this video. I love your excitement. I was a little unsure if watching the Dreaming Spanish videos would (1) help me learn and (2) be interesting enough to keep me from going to sleep. Yes to both! I usually listen to the podcasts but I still have to go and watch your videos too just to see your expressions and enthusiasm. Thanks again to you and all the Dreaming Spanish team!

Now that I know you like comments…you’re the best! I remember when this video first came out (looks like 8 months ago) I was very interested in the topic, but only made it a few min in as it was hard. Love all the Andrea superbeginner and beginner videos, but at the time this I couldn’t do. Today Im just a couple weeks away from 600 hours and decided to check this out again. Easy. Understood just about everything. This works so well and glad you’re part of the team with all your energy and joy 😊

Andrea, eres tan agradable y entretenida de ver que creo que incluso podría verlos si no estuviera aprendiendo español. Gracias por llevarnos "entre bastidores".
I enjoyed this video! Interesting & not hard to understand. Andrea is a fantastic teacher and she's really good at making videos for beginners!
Your Superbeginner videos are stunning!!! This is the most motherese input I have ever seen! You are speaking in the right manner to convey meaning, and this is the most important for superbeginners.

A delightful video! When you talked about the external noise of the video , it reminded me of the early days of live TV in the 50's. There were many bloopers which were very entertaining. If you clean up all the noise then I won't have to look out my window to see if the fire or paramedic trucks are on my street or in the video. It might not be as entertaining.
Andrea and Agustina are my favorites, they are so much fun when they are together.

Puedo entender bien tu situación porque trabajo también a distancia con mis estudiantes. Siempre hay ventajas y desventajas con todo esto, ¿no? Te tengo que decir que tienes gran talento (quizás por tus habilidades como actriz) de comunicar una idea básica en esos niveles de super beginner y beginner. Es muy muy difícil crear temas que son a la vez comprensible e interesante. Y aunque te cueste, los vídeos tienen mucha imaginación y alegría😊 Mis estudiantes sí tienen ganas de escuchar y ver tus vídeos...siempre...porque es un placer aprender así. Y a estos estudiantes les cuesta entender sin buscar (casi) cada palabra. Aprender con el contexto es lo mejor... muchísimas gracias, Andrea

Personalmente, quiero ver más de la productora. Es mi deseo. No me juzgues. Gracias de antemano.
Hola Andrea y gracias por tu trabajo y el trabajo de los otros profesores! Creo que todos nosotros que veamos sus videos agradezcamos lo que hagan y nos ayuda mucho! Estoy realmente sorprendido que no han hecho una o unas reuniones con la equipa de Dreaming Spanish donde todos estarían en el mismo lugar o.o Si tenga a menudo problemas técnicos considere hacer una "checklist" (ver que todo es conectado, grabando, etc.) que iría a revisar cada vez antes de empezar grabar un video. Se necesita unos minutos revisarlo y es algo que hacen por ejemplo pilotos y doctores para reducir los errores comunes (son obviamente situaciones más graves), pero si haga algo todo el tiempo creo que también puede ayudar. Al menos yo lo haría si fuera un youtuber haha

I was actually looking into some of these things recently (random surfing...) and it's a combination of things - noise cancelling microphone, microphone shields / suppressors. Apps can reduce noise too, both live and in editing. And now that AI video editing is a thing I'd bet that there are apps that can do that automatically.
