If that should happen to you again, go to the envelope in the lower left-hand corner that says "Feedback", the Yabla staff will address the problem. Explain it as best you can in english or spanish. That has always worked for me.

I had that happen a few times - seemed random and then worked again. No idea what caused it.

Did anybody else notice today that the games within the videos don't have the number of times you have played that game. I have always used that as a tool in knowing what games I have and haven't played without having to go out of the video to find out. I hope they replace it.

Do you mean the bar below the video in the videos list or when you are on the set page for something like Scribe?

No, after you click on games you arrive at the page that list all of the games. The games at the top "Vocabulary Review", "Multiple Choice", and "Fill in the blank" each had three medals next to them, one was gold, one was silver and I think the third one was cooper. Each of the medals had a number below it to show how many times you had completed games that corresponded to that medal.

Oh, I see what you mean! Yeah, it does look like they got rid of those. 🤔 I don't think I ever really used those myself, but instead sometimes looked at the numbers on the videos page which I can see have less info. How did those numbers work or games with multiple sets like Scribe? Was it showing one count for every set you completed at each medal 🥇 level?

Still looking to expand my chat partners, but to meet IN PERSON at a cafe. I live in Irvine, Ca. Presently, I meet with 2 chat partners, and meet with a Spanish chat group that I started a little over 10 years ago, also here in Irvine.Ca. Additionally, for the past 3 years, twice a week I teach my 88 year old Dad Spanish. Really great for Dad's brain. I say gently, I am not interested in a beginner, but rather an intermediate-advanced learner. Also, and again gently, no children please. Adult, retired or not, just fine. If someone from this Yabla community, also lives here in Irvine, Ca., or close by, and has interest in meeting face to face at a coffee shop, once a week for an hour or so, I will leave my email for contact to arrange a meetup. Again, not interested in online, Zoom, etc., only in person. My data:I am a female and retired, and committed to improving my fluency in this beautiful language. Email address: [email protected]

Have not yet been able to attend a webcast Yabla session. I have been actively learning Spanish for 15 years, and continue to challenge myself with art history and geographic videos, courtroom drama( Caso Cerrado, La corte del pueblo, La sala de parejas, etc.) all via YOUTUBE. That said, the Yabla videos are fine, but for advance learners, they could be much more challenging.

Have you tried the live classes yet? I actually started with Go Spanish before Yabla started integrating them into their website and the packages are a great deal (I still use a package direct from Go Spanish). They have various combos of group and private classes and really good prices.

It would be great if on the Fluency Club exercises we could see before starting what country they are from. Anyone else thrown by "vos" conjugations in today's advanced exercise? Once I figured out that this was Argentinian I was in a bit better shape. Interestingly, there seems to be a show by the same name from Mexico but I'm pretty sure this is the Argentinian one. Good practice once I know what I'm listening to!

I'm just a beginner, but I listened in on the Feb 26, 2026 meetup - intermediate. It was fun, because people had stories to tell. I learned that two participants, Linda and Marianne, are both cyclists. That's kind of exciting. So I hope to hear more about your adventures and trips (I like cycling, too). There was lots of talk about swimming and boats, too, because of the video. I took a few notes, and noticed there were some doubts about barco or barque, and so I looked that up. In general, barco is a large boat or ship, and bote is a small watercraft. This might change from region to region. I wasn't sure if Constanza knew the word "capsize," and I didn't catch the Spanish word for it. I looked it up: volcarse. There was a doubt about viente or viento. Viento. It was tricky when Constanza, after asking the same question to several people, then asked a new one. People were thinking of how to answer the previous question when all of a sudden, there was a different one. Maybe we need a warning or something: "New question/topic!" or "Let's talk about organizing the trip." Sometimes the hardest thing is understanding the question (at every level). People talked about jubilado, which sounded like jubilated to me. I was tickled to learn it meant retired. I wonder if a conversation on this chat could be interesting: What I learned in the meetup and what threw me for a loop... We're all in this together.

Volcarse (capsize) is a new one for me! I like to check the etymology on these, and it looks like volcar (to turn over) is from the same latin root as volver (to return) - both coming from volvere (to roll or turn around).

I'm curious what others are doing for order of the exercises in Fluency Club. I change this up every now and then and recently have been doing Watch-Review-Speak-Scribe-Revo-Parrot, but I've started moving Parrot up higher in the rotation. I'm not at all stuck on this order and have done it several different ways changing my logic fairly regularly. Does anyone else play with the order here, or just do them in the order presented?

I play with the order. I always watch (and usually do the vocabulary review), and then do speak. But if I am pressed for time, I go straight to Scribe, because I always repeat the caption anyway but I feel like writing out the captions help cement them into my brain. I also try to do Revo because then I see what I didn't really absorb. I have never done Review anywhere but at the end (and am not too fond of it), but doing it right after watching the video might be a good idea, thanks. I haven't experimented with Parrot enough to know when it is the best to do that, but I would think that if the video is at the right level for me, I should start with that, after watching the video. Getting the context is key for me.

@sigrid Yeah, Revo seems like the test of what was absorbed for sure. But like you I still play with the order, and it definitely varies when harder.

I normally play them in order, if a sentence seems difficult, I first do "watch", then "Review" in order to have seen the content 5 times, then I proceed with the order as it is presented to us.

@Cathy Reed Yeah, Review helps on the hard ones. Before I was doing watch with the replay mode on, rerunning until I got it, but more recently I've just been doing Review early to a similar effect.

Is there any way to filter Strategic Review to only show Speak and Parrot? That is where I need the most work. Thanks.

I don't know of a way to do that but if you hit Skip or Remove it will remove them temporarily or permanently from your list. I use skip a lot on Speak items when I'm not in a position to talk and I believe they just come back in a few days or something. I occassionally use Remove on items from videos I decided weren't as helpful.

I think it is great that you asked. I imagine the Yabla team may look at the comments also, and if there is a way to do that, I think they will.
