The first book I purchased to read (it was only like $5), it was so bad. I thought I was inept at
reading or something because I could only get through a page or two a day before getting a
headache. Turns out it was just really boring. I bought a different book and breezed through it.

I bought a crazy amount of stuff over 6 months of finding out what worked for me but idk if I would
say I regret them because it was all part of the journey of working out what works and what doesn’t
for me.

I suppose I would have to say that: textbooks, Duolingo Plus, Spanish Dict, Spanish Pod, Pimsleur,
Lingopie (because I wasn’t a high enough level to get good use of it) and Rosetta Stone could all
come under regret terms.

I got some good use out of Busuu but ultimately it wasn’t doing it for me, so it had to go.

As far as what I don’t regret and think are amazing value: Speakly, Memrise, Anki for iPhone, Story
Learning materials, graded readers (Olly Richards, Juan Fernandez and Paco Ardit) and of course
the GOAT $7 for Dreaming Spanish Patreon which must be imo hands down the best value for
money language learning resource.

This is so true now, but not all that long ago I made great progress by traveling around with a
paper dictionary. Smart phones really changed the game.
