Immersion's best in my experience... and you can create immersion

Things I do more and more often as time goes in Spanish

- Subtitles in Spanish always on whenever possible

- Audio (music (just bought some Bad Bunny), television, sports broadcasts)

- Order in Spanish

- Interfaces in Spanish (computers, televisions, phones)

- Text friends

- Consume news

- Read wikipedia when I need information

- Take notes for work and life

- Play videogames

It really starts compounding, my goal is to stop using the Anki decks entirely in 2026. At that point I should be able to start learning whatever my next goal is in Spanish so that I can continue using my Spanish while working on... cooking or whatever it is I want to focus in on next

Totally agree and I do all those things. My desire for a calm, non-gamified learning app would not be a replacement for all other methods.
