The "oh crap!" Language learning milestone
So, I play Ants: Underground Kingdom in an alliance that's predominantly Spanish speaking. I don't track that as input because I'm not sure how to count it, but I'm building familiarity. Like with a lot of phone games, there are daily tasks and some events that happen at certain times. I had stuff I wanted to do in game at 8:30 so I did other stuff and lost track of time.
At 9 or 9:30, I was watching National Geographic's "The Secrets of Bees" dubbed in Spanish. There was a little bee laying eggs in a seashell and collecting pollen for her larva. But <dramatic music>, there are ants who also want the pollen.
As soon as the narrator says "hormigas" (ants), I repeat "hormigas!" as I realize that I forgot to check on my hormigas in game. That's got to be some kind of milestone, right? 😀
