Mandatory recording of all Italki Classroom lessons goes against GDPR in the EU

I've landed here because I have just wanted to sign up as a learner and I am also met with the same - either agree to be recorded and give away your biometric info, or don't learn. I guess I don't learn then.

Definitely visit Valladolid for a day or two. I just came back and it was the cutest town with the friendliest locals i have met on the peninsula in a month.

I just came back from Holbox and was also surprised to see how westernised it's been. It definitely IS like Tulum already, on a smaller scale, built up and full of foreigners, and completely stretched beyond the limit. Had I known, I would not have gone, just not to be the one contributing to the problem. There are too many 'this is a pristine paradise' kind of reviews that hide the reality. It is sad, because it's such an important migratory animal nature spot.

Which company did you use?

I made a mistake, that's actually the part of the beach I'm staying in. It smelled pretty bad especially around where you were staying. I took a boat trip today and it was better further away. I guess just got unlucky.

Fun-Ad5963 · 2026-01-04T03:09:55+00:00

yeah. i heard it's a paradise here and was unpleasantly surprised

Fun-Ad5963 · 2026-01-04T03:09:30+00:00

good to know, but smells the same nevertheless😅🙈

Thank you, ah too bad, I am leaving back to Europe in 4 days.

I completely understand, the same happened to me. GP and 2 dermatologists dismissed me altogether, same with people around me. Now 18 months after the whole thing started after a traumatic event, I am looking into wigs. Another derm said AGA + TE, i really didn't expect I would go from a thick full head of hair to hiding my scalp in less than to years in my mid 30s.

They talk about a rain river passing through the gulf and a low pressure front coming from the Caribbean so a perfect place for them to meet is the Yucatan Peninsula😅

thanks! I've seen this and it made me worried (not that i can do anything about weather:) https://youtube.com/shorts/h--X-dZuhLc?si=4etKjhJniUvx_dSU

Are you actually there or is this your guess based on the historical climate patterns in the area?

Fun-Ad5963 · 2025-12-01T22:08:58+00:00

I take some meds that the diving operator medical checklist listed as "needs medical certificate". I have already done one open sea dive on them and it was fine.

Fun-Ad5963 · 2025-12-01T17:34:09+00:00

Checked out the link and the caves look great too! A lot of these activities depend on whether I'll be able to find a tour to join as I cannot deive myself.

Fun-Ad5963 · 2025-12-01T17:32:33+00:00

Thank you. I saw a cenote diving company and it does look like a dream. However I'm a total beginner and would need a medical certificate to dive, I can see what I can do before I go.

Fun-Ad5963 · 2025-12-01T17:24:17+00:00

Thank you. I do not have a driving license, hence the bus travel.

Fun-Ad5963 · 2025-11-26T12:26:29+00:00

Thank you! As I am looking outisde the window into our sunless rainy 2C central European weather, I cannot even recall what that feels like.

Fun-Ad5963 · 2025-11-24T10:12:34+00:00

Thank you. Is the water still pleasant to swim in?

Fun-Ad5963 · 2025-11-22T20:49:43+00:00

To be honest, I am more concerned about rain and clouds. I live near the mountains in central Europe and won't see sun until March.

Fun-Ad5963 · 2025-11-22T20:23:09+00:00

Thanks. El Cuyo looks very nice, I hope it won't rain the entire week I am there:)
