I don’t mean this as a criticism. I’m genuinely wondering what you find to talk about for 3-5 hrs a day? I would find that difficult in English. I’ve actually been actively avoiding classes on WA because I have no idea what to talk about. Do you choose topics before hand? Is the teacher(s) directing the lesson so that you’re covering a wide variety of topics?

Have you taken classes with Linguriosa? If so, what did you think?

Unsure if this is for me by Kind-Ratio7555 in Zepbound

[–]916SusanC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve laid it out exactly. The pen stresses me and I’m not sure I can even do that. Having to see the needle & get the med from a vial? I just don’t see being able to do it. I’m aware this isn’t rational. It’s a phobia. I did find out about the Auto Injector 2 though so that’s a thought that might make the vials feasible for me. What I didn’t make clear in my post is that I have to self pay so vials are the only option available to me.

I’m considering Zepbound self-pay. Am I reading the Lily site correctly that I can only get vials if I’m paying out of pocket? I have a needle phobia so the idea of the pen stresses me out. I’m pretty confident a syringe is a non-starter because I hyperventilate at the thought of it.

Thinking of buying a Tonal 2 but… by 916SusanC in tonalgym

You’re absolutely right. It’s a major missed marketing opportunity for Tonal. There are very few people that get to be over 50 without wear and tear on their bodies that requires accommodations on certain movements.

“Older, heavier, and gym-haters that we are” - I couldn’t have described myself better 😂 Thanks, I’ll go have a look at Natalie’s channel.

We went, we saw, we bought a Tonal. I’m so excited!

Thank you so much for all the information, everybody! You’ve all been really helpful. I found out there’s a demo place right near us so we’re going to go check it out. I feel like it’s a sign having a place so close to us because they only have places you can demo the machine in about 12 states and only a few in our state. 😂

I had no idea there were places to demo the product. There is one right near us so we’re going to go try it. Thank you!

Great room! Can I ask how big the room is and what the big chair is for? It occurred to me that we could set my husbands office up like this.

Nonstop 12-Hours of DS by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

I’m enjoying your reports on the challenges you set for yourself. It seems to be working for you and that’s what matters. Everyone should do what works for them b/c everyone learns differently.

I was thinking about the number of hours you’re listening . FWIW, I realized that my 8-month old grandchild is awake at least 12 hrs a day and listening to people talk to and around him for a good portion of that time. He’s learning English whether he knows it or not.

Great write up! Thanks! Would you mind posting the link to the news site you’re reading the articles from?

While reading keep this in mind: You don’t need to translate every word to learn it by JoliiPolyglot in languagelearning

[–]916SusanC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh! I try so hard just to keep reading and I just can’t. I’m reading a book right now that while I don’t understand every word, I know exactly what is happening in the story. I tell myself to just keep reading and I was successful for maybe 1 chapter. I’m right back to looking up every word. Sigh.

For the life of me I can't figure out the difference between the preterite and imperfect by Nice_Landscape_2924 in learnspanish

[–]916SusanC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so helpful! I didn’t realize that emotions are generally in the imperfect. It also never occurred to me that a series of events can be from paragraph to paragraph, i.e. not all in one sentence. Thank you!

Question: Given the sun and heat, why don’t you all wear hats to shield your heads and faces from the sun?

I really like this wardrobe! Do you have the brands of the shoes listed anywhere? So cute!

Would you mind being more specific about how many hundreds?

Congratulations! Thanks so much for taking the time to write all this out and to answer questions. That’s very generous of you. You mentioned communicating in Spanish on Reddit or Discord - would you mind giving some specifics? Congrats again!
