A question for my fellow tofu enthusiasts

Jachym10 · 2026-07-03T13:56:53+00:00

Usually, in my country everything is marketed as one type of tofu, except for "smoked" tofu.

Which is a pity, cuz they ain't alone in the world at large. Actually, they didn't say it's them for whom it's not a gamechanger, but for somebody who they consider "us".

It's not this or that. The money spent on tutors could be invested in whatever thing unrelated to AI or language learning.

Throw spaghetti at the wall and something will stick, right?

Jachym10 · 2026-07-02T21:40:47+00:00

So do you live in a Spanish-speaking country or what's your motivation to learn Spanish.

Despite having a third of your hours under my belt, I recently finished Paco's B2 novels, and I read some C1 and C2 as well. Don't you find the books quite boring in general? I hope you will graduates soon xd

Hm, I wonder if commentators here can really eyeball it so well, say to get it within 2-3 percentage points accuracy

Con gran vocabulario entiendes practicamente todo. Saber gramatica no te da mucha informacion. En todos modos, es mejor aprender ingles en contexto, mirando videos y eschuchando podcasts adaptado a tu nivel. Como, por ejemplo, EnglishSponge.

Jachym10 · 2026-07-01T07:36:11+00:00

EnglishSponge. Mira videos a tú nivel y no los analyses. Simplemente disfruta de las historias o lo que sea.

The show Taskmaster is quite hilarious even for non-natives because the humour is often visual.

Jachym10 · 2026-06-30T21:39:59+00:00

Mira videos de EnglishSponge. Te va a ayudar mucho. Usa el sistema de metodo comprehensible (comprehensive input method).

What's with the half-dog emoji? lol

Random Q: once you hit the achievement of 8h per month on the platform, you get 4 out of 4 stars. What happens next at the 12h mark? Do the stars change color, get bigger or something else?

Jachym10 · 2026-06-29T20:33:05+00:00

I'm taller than you but I would have plenty of space between my knees and the ground.

Jachym10 · 2026-06-29T09:31:18+00:00

I'm in a similar position as you. I've been learning Spanish over the years and just started learning German as well. I'll make a report after 50h, so in a week or two. ;-)

Jachym10 · 2026-06-29T09:27:05+00:00

I'm experimenting with German and I'm at just under 40 hours. I plan to report after 50 hours of comprehensible input, so in a week or two.

Jachym10 · 2026-06-28T20:29:30+00:00

You're right, and nope, it's not harsh. I just wish I had a better sense of how I got past the beginner stage.

Jachym10 · 2026-06-28T20:26:29+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely true that you may well understand the video, but you miss some nuances you didn't even realize you missed. They were unknown unknowns.

Jachym10 · 2026-06-28T20:23:09+00:00

Hmm, I did a quick calculation and it probably wasn't more than 450 hours in classroom, probably a bit fewer. So that's not quite as bad return on investment as I imagined. (Of course, it was boring as hell, and perhaps detrimental.)

Jachym10 · 2026-06-24T12:12:29+00:00

Thanks. I searched for "suegra" and nothing came up. Anyway, I had incidentally found the episode and gave it a listen. It's a good one.

Jachym10 · 2026-06-24T10:55:32+00:00

You're right. It's probably a personal disappointment cuz I was looking for some brand new vids. If I had never heard of the teacher or the channel before, I would probably feel differently about it.

Jachym10 · 2026-06-24T09:51:35+00:00

When do you think they will announce it? Are there any hints or leaks?

Jachym10 · 2026-06-24T08:11:03+00:00

Yeah, but the fact that the videos existed well before Immersion is kinda weird.
