Q: Is Dreaming Spanish massively inefficient?
A: No, it's actually very efficient if your goal is to dream Spanish. Using Spanish when you're awake is going to require a different approach.

Q: Ever encountered an undercover language?
A: I'll never know, only spies would speak such languages and if I ever heard them speaking undercover they'd probably have to kill me.
