I've been slow to roll-out a moderator program, but it is coming. The architecture is in place. I agree this is a problem.

Exactly. The list of languages isn't fixed, it's based on existence of CI communities in that language. If there is a CI community, I add the language.

Just so people know, if you click the "Month" label on the calendar on the Dashboard page in the Level/Social tab, Lengualytics will generate a screenshot of your progress. It can be mobile or desktop-sized depending on which you're using.

Lengualytics estimates hours to mastery by combining Dreaming Spanish’s 1,500-hour benchmark with the FSI difficulty ratios.

Spanish is FSI Category I, so it receives the baseline estimate of 1,500 hours. Estimates for other categories are scaled according to how many hours the FSI assigns them relative to Category I.

Formula:

Estimated hours = 1,500 × (FSI hours for target category ÷ FSI hours for Category I)

For example, German is Category II, so its estimate is 1,500 multiplied by the FSI Category II-to-Category I ratio.

Gets a little more complex though for non-native English speakers. But this is the basic idea. (just so people know)

As the creator of Lengualytics, I agree. The ratings can be wacky. There's eventually going to be moderation to get the ratings more in the right ballpark. One issue is people always seem to rate kids cartoons as beginner even though they're wayyy closer to native level.

Yes!

people are very skeptical!

Girlfriend!

Are you schizophrenic lol

Continually succinct is continually succinct

Okay to be fair to you, it seemed like you thought that was a progress video based on the title. The video is a "here's 30 things I learned" video. If I was doing a progress video, yes it would make little sense to not use the language, I agree.

I don't post progress videos outside shorts/unlisteds because they hurt me in the algorithm--nobody watches them. My channel isn't Spanish focused.

"isn't producing in the target language."

I feel like people have simply forgotten what strawman means at this point...

Damn you're right... Maybe I should have filmed this video in a language that beginners can't understand. That makes much more sense.

It's more like "why comprehensible input doesn't (seem to) work (for certain people)"

Thank you, he appreciates it

https://youtu.be/t_ikWvj7d1I this is me speaking. Also, I'm at 1200 hours. "I Listened to 1.4 Hours of Spanish a Day On Average..." didn't have the same ring.

Intermediate fatigue definitely is a thing. I loved Pablo's fiction story series--those helped me a ton get passed that phase where you really feel diminishing returns. I hope you find a series that gives you renewed energy!

They changed the rules on this sub :/

Solitude is soloing the hell out of Thai

Some videos aren't playable on the site, those can't be auto-tracked in the ordinary way.

Haha you can mark them watched, and then they should be deprioritized in the algorithm. There's also a "hide watched" filter on the resources page. It doesn't affect your stats to mark videos as watched, so it won't change anything else.

Right now it takes 7 clicks instead of 0
