How I read a text in my third language (Español) and use it as a learning tool!

Hello!
My (YouTube) name is Noory Korky, and I am a former AP Spanish Language and Culture student that earned a five on the AP exam.
In this video, I discuss how, with my current knowledge of the Spanish language, I would read a text and use it to help me learn Spanish (specifically, grammar and vocabulary). I use various parts of the European Spanish translation of Lord of the Rings to guide the exercise.
Please note that I have only spent three years learning Spanish; therefore, I am most definitely not perfect and likely cannot wield the language like a sword with precision all the time. I may have made a few mistakes here and there, which I will correct down in the comments if necessary.
The level of Spanish that is suggested if you would like to learn my techniques is the AP Spanish Language course. It does not go higher than that, but it does not go lower either.
Here are two resources I would recommend:

1) "El préterito imperfecto de SUBJUNTIVO (II)" from the channel @EspanolconHanane:

This video is really helpful to learn the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish (it tends to be tricky for AP students), and I would highly recommend subscribing to her channel.

2) "How to learn a new language with stories" from @storylearning:

Olly Richards is a polyglot who has made a lot of Spanish-specific content as well, but in this video, he mainly goes over the learning through a story method. Subscribing to his channel is also recommended.

Hope you enjoy the video!
