About Dreaming Spanish
Dreaming Spanish is a comprehensible-input course: thousands of videos entirely in Spanish, graded from Superbeginner to Advanced, where the speakers use gestures, drawings and context instead of translation. You watch what you can mostly follow, log your hours, and move up a seven-level roadmap. The free plan lets you sort videos by difficulty and track progress; Premium (€8.99 a month on 10 October 2026, no yearly plan per its FAQ) adds over 7,200 exclusive videos, new ones daily and offline viewing. It suits learners who want to understand spoken Spanish and enjoy watching. It does not teach grammar or correct your speaking, and the CEFR range is our reading of its levels.

How Dreaming Spanish works
It is built on comprehensible input: lots of Spanish you can mostly understand. Superbeginner videos use pictures and gestures so you never need English; by Advanced, the guides talk about anything at natural speed.
You track hours rather than lessons, and the roadmap tells you roughly what to expect at each stage. Learners who stick with it tend to understand spoken Spanish far better than app users at the same point.
Free or Premium?
The free plan is a real product: sorting by difficulty, search and progress tracking, plus videos on YouTube. Premium is for when you are hooked and want the full library and offline viewing.
Pair it with Language Transfer or a course if you want grammar explained, and with a tutor once you want to speak. More listening options in Spanish listening practice and Spanish YouTube channels.
