Lap 2, Level 6! (2500 update)
At this point things continue to trend easier. Almost any type of content, native or otherwise, is accessible. I still can’t always follow what’s happening in Leyendas Leyendarias or La Base, but that said it is noticeably more comprehensible than in the past.
Reading has gotten even easier. Ironically I’ve slowed down a bit reading since hitting 3M words - I took maybe a month off where I read very little - but then I picked up Project Hail Mary and have found it to be easy. More and more I find myself choosing the Spanish translation when it exists alongside English and not needing to also read the English. My devices being in Spanish help here too.
As far as what I’m consuming, it’s a lot of YouTube and a lot of podcasts. Probably 75% native, but I still enjoy listening to some of my favorite learner podcasts.
Still going strong, still feeling great about the progress, still need more input!
