Started listening more in Spanish. Not as hard as I remember. I think listening to a lot of Japanese throughout the year has increased my tolerance for ambiguity. With that, I'm just happy to be there. With Spanish, I'm finding I can get a sense of things, even when it's quite fast. I think this is what intermediate feels like.

That's awesome! Maybe also your ability to interpolate information has gotten more advanced? I have noticed that I do that as well and it works pretty well now. Early on I got stuck on words that I didn't understand and couldn't keep up with the conversation, but now I don't let that stop me from hearing rest of the sentence. And picking up based on context.
