¡ay, conchas! a mí me gustan mucho pero no se puede comprarlas donde vivo. Cuando visito a mi hermano en California siempre las como con café por la mañana. Este pan no es muy dulce pero hay los pedazos de azucar encima de la concha como dijo Liliana -- ¡perfecto!
¿Cuál es su pan favorito?
Which is your favorite bread?
Mi favorito son las conchas blancas! YUMMM
My favorite are white conchas.
I just joined Spanishpod, and I found out that I am a very visual learner. If I don't see the words on the transcript in front of me, I get very confused. This makes the Newbie Lessons actually quite challenging. If I read the transcript while playing the lesson though, Newbie lessons seem too easy and so I switch to the elementary lessons. Does anybody else find this to be true for them? I guess I am very visual learner. Without seeing the words, it all blends together and no puedo comprender!
You're doing great, what you're experiencing happens to everybody, at all levels.
Even though I've got 5 years behind me and routinely speak with people, I still don't catch every word I hear, in a podcast or otherwise. Then more you listen, read and speak the easier it gets.
Stick with it. Determination is the most important thing you need to be successful.
Visual learning, whatever that is suppose to mean, does not apply to learning second languages. The SL is learned basically the identical way you learned your first language. If you are a "visual learner" only then just how did you learn your first language? What words in a sentence did you read in order to learn how to use your first language. Before being carted off to first grade to begin your education adventure just what book or books did you read in order to learn your first language? Apart from illness or disability, a child of six years old, for example, is able to use his or her first language quite well and does so not from reading words but from listening to hundreds of thousands of repetitions of his or her native language before ever learning how to read. More than 40 years of linguistic science has show than speech comes second to listening. Listening precedes speaking. Using the spoken language in a fluency sense will always flow from the listening process.
That is why SpanishPod is so important.
Just because I am a "visual" learner does not mean i depend solely on imagery. It simply means that i learn more effectively when there is more imagery involved, compared to someone who is more "in tune" with sounds. This imagery doesn't necessarily have to mean pictures, but it can also mean seeing the words in front of me. It took me longer than average to start talking when i was little, but i was extremely anxious to draw. I always had trouble paying attention in school, but the moment the teacher would just shut up, and begin drawing on the board (along with other visual tools) I would immediately understand it better than other students. I have always used imagery for studying when i came to anything academic.
Even in my adult life, when the news is on TV, I can't pay attention to it for more than 3 seconds. Put a newspaper in front of me though, and i will read AND comprehend the entire thing before you can get the coffee made.
That is what being a "visual learner" is like.
I love spanishpod, but i need the transcripts..
perhaps learning another language is a weakness for me because of this, but the challenge makes it fun.
I know the problem -- several years ago I found reading so much easier than hearing. But practice has really helped. I listen, then read, then listen again. I recommend doing both Newbie and Elementary (and add the harder ones at some point) and really work on the listening. ¡mucha suerte!
Try just listening for the main idea first, then reading, and then combine them. When you just listen again, you will be able to understand more than at first.
