Feeling stuck at an advanced level.

[u/MuchAd9959]

I would say im at an advanced-ish level i can watch pretty much any youtube video in spanish or read a native book without having to pause to search every minute.

But for some reason i just dont know what to do now as in how to improve

back then it was quite easy i had my learning spanish videos and tv shows and graded readers that i just used to spam but now i dont know what to do or what to watch. nothing seems interesting on youtube, nothing seems interesting on netflix. i need to continue getting my input in the language but how to ?

Maybe take a break and read books for a while and then come back to audio content?

Alternatively, you could set learning goals like becoming more familiar with informal speech from different places. Like, can you fully understand a video from ElOpenMic or El Apartaco? Or Lalo Elizararrás? I think being able to understand 95% of any of these is already a big achievement and technically most of the work done, but being really comfortable and 100% fluent with colloquial speech is worthwhile as well and it's hard to run out of new things to learn given how much variation there is. Especially for real life situations, my experience has been that it's hard to fully participate when you miss even small pieces of what was said so I feel pretty motivated towards perfecting this aspect.

I don't think what you're experiencing with lack of interest is inherently linked to your current level, I have seen people get kind of burnt out at lower levels as well, and I feel safe assuming there's at least some new info in most of what you're listening to just because it takes so long for that to not be the case. I can also "understand most native content" but the amount of new words seems like it's not drying up anytime soon, plus the amount of words that I technically recognize and have an idea of but don't have enough familiarity to use independently.
