Try watching this with a VR headset to feel like you’re here with me.

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.

  1. Thank you very much for another Beginner vid. I learn much from them ! Congratulations on 100, 000 subscriptions (I have been a member for 2 years ). Please tell Alma another request to make another Beginner vid describing frame-by-frame of a cartoon story. Also taking us on tours of parks and famous places I Love (Alma did an Intermediate vid of Carmen de los Marties, and I knew nearly every word !! Please tell her Thank You !! )

  2. Yessss Pablo! I'm going to grab my headset and watch this! If you do more VR that would be amazinggggg. There's something really fantastic about watching youtube in VR. Thank you, Pablo! 😀

  3. Somehow watching this with a Virtual Reality headset on makes the lesson seem more… intense for a lack of better word. In normal Dreaming Spanish videos I’m watching Pablo on screen. With the headset on I feel like I’m in the room with him. I kept feeling like he was going to stop the conversation and ask me something in Spanish, lol.

    I hope we get more of these VR videos, they are very immersive.

  4. Knew as soon as I saw this posted we we’re gonna hear about the turtle with a death wish 😅 Making videos in VR is a great idea! I hope you make more! Also thanks to you and the whole DS team for everything you do! You’ve completely changed the way I feel about learning another language for the better!

  5. What a brilliant idea – watched it all the way through on my occulus quest 2. It actually makes it more immersive and works really well at seeing what a speaker is actually like when really face to face.I can imagine some videos where you explore somewhere such as in the park as with some of your ‘OG teaching method’ videos when you spoke to camera about Kristen and immersion would work superbly. I wonder if Andrea could do one based on her acting skills 🙂 or Michelle or Alma taking us around Mexico City or Granada. But this works so well – I’d love to see more.

  6. Just watched this with a google cardboard headset — very cool, and surprisingly more immersive than just watching the video! I would love to see more of these — thanks, Pablo!

  7. I watched this on an iPad. On YouTube it worked ok and allowed me to move around. From the website it was more limited. When I went full screen I could hear you talking but the screen was dark. It did work inside the webpage and there were arrows to move around. I prefer using the website because it tracks my time every day. Hopefully this can be fixed if you go full time on VR. Thanks.

  8. Please advise what type of VR headset to buy in order to get the most of this experience. VR is totally new to me and I'm willing to spend money on a good VR headset, if that means we will enjoy the videos even more 🙂

  9. I loved this! (Once I worked out that I had to install youtube app on my quest to make it 3D, in the VR browsers it forced me to play it as 2D for some reason…)

    Some thoughts:
    – I wish the camera had been a bit higher – maybe at your eye level – this angle made me feel a bit like you were enormous, or I was a child, haha!
    – I'm very grateful you didn't do your trademark camera slap closing move… I almost jerked out of the way in anticipation of it!
    – I really did feel a 100% more immersed plus the body language and how I was enabled to more clearly see the shapes your mouth made as you talked helped immensely with comprehending (and sort of internally imagining saying the words – if that makes sense) the content.

    I would absolutely love more content like this, and as you mentioned, some with you and friends would be so engrossing (like the videos you did with Adria that were so enjoyable)

    10/10 would watch again 🙂

  10. So I don't think this is really VR, because VR videos are stereoscopic – you have a different image for each eye – that also lets you look around. This is just a 360 degree video? People capture these all the time using 360 degree cameras, but it doesn't make them be VR. Still, very cool to be able to look around your room like that! I did enjoy it.
