Spanish
Everything I wish I learned in Spanish class
Encompassing a little more than 0.01% genetic Latino makeup, I first fell in love with foreign languages via some really fun high school Spanish teachers. I then spent months, if not years, in Spanish-speaking countries like Ecuador, Panamá, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Spain, and if we can consider it another country, Miami.

“¿Puedo ir al baño?” is all you can remember from high school, and honestly, that’s probably the most useful phrase anyway.
You spoke Spanish once in the past year, and that was when you ordered pico de gallo, mezcal, or some queso – and probably all together.

Around 10 hours of instruction.
I recommend a pace of one or two chapters a week, which would get you through the course in 2 months. -
The videos do not expire. You can do that.

I draw connections to concepts that are similar in Spanish and Portuguese - so that you know where to speed up and slow down – but there are parts where Spanish is doing its own thing in its own lane (imperfect subjunctive, changing le lo to se lo, saying voy a instead of je vais + verb or eu vou + verb, etc.), and then there are other parts that you could probably do 2x speed (days of the week, saber vs conocer, ser vs estar etc.).
-
We spend more time on concepts that don't exist in English - like how there are two words for "for," two words for "I am," and two words for "to know."
In the advanced levels, we're going over more complex grammar structures, but if you've never studied a language before, you may not even know what those are in English or even realize that this very sentence is already using complex grammar structures.

I'm not a native Spanish speaker. I'm a gringo like you (and that's the point), which means I had all the same "dumb" questions and confusing "seriously-Spanish-what-the-fuck" moments you'll experience. I know the questions you'll have before you'll have them. Long story short: I get you, and I get Spanish.
Ex: I know where your brain will be like "Why isn't it 'Yo gusto' instead of 'Me gusta?'" and I'll be like "Because your brain is speaking English, when it shouldn't be right now. In Spanish you don't say 'I like' in Spanish, you say 'It pleases me." Or, you may ask "Why does it seem like Spanish speaker speak so fast!?" and I'll be like "Well, you know there was a study done in 2011 that showed that Spanish is mostly spoken at a normal pace, it's just that there are simply more syllables to hit than in English, so it sounds faster."
We can't escape our native language - so let's use it to our advantage. -
