Erfahrungsbericht von Marcel B.
Three months ago I decided to take my Spanish learning more seriously. For over 12 years I've been learning and revising vocabulary with a nice application. I revise every day, but often without learning new words. Today, my memory contains around 3,000 words and phrases. However, it's terribly difficult for me when I'm in a context where I have to express myself or, worse still, understand. So I decided to commit myself to something more serious and demanding. I chose Gymglish, Hotel Borbollón, because its approach seemed to me to be serious, with a few humorous and sometimes surprising touches. Five days a week, I spend an average of an hour to an hour and a half completing the lesson on offer. The progress is adapted to my level and my weaknesses. I really have to concentrate, it's demanding. Demanding but not (yet) discouraging. I'm committing a significant part of my life to this learning process. At the end of each daily exercise, a virtual dialogue is initiated on all the subjects of everyday life. It's one of the characters from the Hotel Borbollón, Magda, who asks me how I'm doing, how I feel after the lesson, what I've planned for the weekend, what I like to cook, and so on. I'm given a correction after each of my answers. In this way, without any requirement for excellence, what I write is effectively corrected or validated with a pleasing ‘bravo’ when my expression was correct. Although the effort is real, I feel that I'm making progress, which is indeed my objective.
