My goal is just consistency. My spanish is coming along slowly, but it hasn't always been steady. Sometimes, I just stop. This year, I just want to keep it consistent. At least some content, most days, even if only a short video.
If you have a platform that you check consistently for English content it helps a lot to find material there so it's just part of your normal media consumption and not a thing you have to actively do. Like subscribing to Spanish youtube channels alongside your other channels. And if you can jump to native content instead of learner's content it will be much more interesting even if you don't understand everything immediately.
I avoid Youtube as much as possible, so that makes it harder
That being said, I use Dreaming Spanish for my native hispanohablante content. Plenty of content, and more every day. The biggest issue is whilst I love some of the content, quite often, I find myself struggling to stay engaged. And that's the part I need to focus on. They have plenty of content, and I can find it if I go looking. I just need to make sure I do :)
It doesn't have to be youtube, thankfully there's Spanish content in most places. Dreaming Spanish seems nice, but yeah, actively looking for it is the hard part.
