Hola todos! I'm just start with Dreaming Spanish after about 150 hours elsewhere, and I *love* it. Good stuff.

My only concern is about vocab. I just watched a video (I think it was Sofia in Mexico and about her car) and she used the word "tire" and "trunk." My question is, I guess, how am I going to remember these words? I'm doubting that there are many more videos (maybe none?) discussing tires and trunks, and I already forget the Spanish words for these terms.

I understand that the idea is to *only* listen to these videos, but for terms that might not come up again and again, does it makes sense to memorize these terms using flashcards or something like that?

Thank you all! So happy to be here! :)

Edit: This is great! I'm convinced. The point below about "low volume" words really speaks to me, and if I end up really being interested in cars or something, then it wouldn't be a low volume word. Thank you all! :)

I've tried all the "go-to" tactics: cool room, warm shower before bed, magnesium, etc x100 and gotten mixed results. Nothing is really working. I want to knock myself out and sleep more than 5 or 6 hours.

With that in mind, what do you take as a "sure thing" if you want a good night's sleep? Is it Nyquil, melotonin, something else?

I'm desperate--I'll consider anything you mention! : )
