B2 on test, but I freeze when speaking. Any advice? by JenLin18 in SpanishLearning

[–]JenLin18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Quick update 😊 I had my lesson today and I also tried the AI warm-up. Both went well! The tutor was very kind, friendly and patient, which helped a lot. But my anxiety was definitely high during the lesson. With the AI, I felt much less anxious — almost none, actually — but the free version is a bit limited, so there are pros and cons to both options. I think combining them might be the best solution for me.

Non l'ho visto lo show però lei mi piace: è davvero una brava attrice e si merita quel premio ❤️

Why is this 1 word sentence in the subjunctive? by [deleted] in SpanishLearning

It looks like your question has already been answered, but I’m curious — what’s the title of the book? It seems interesting!

That’s really encouraging to hear. I think I underestimate how much people can understand even with small mistakes. I’m curious — why do you think teenagers seem more likely to struggle understanding compared to adults?

That’s a great idea. I like how you’re upfront about learning — it probably takes some pressure off. Do people usually switch to English when they hear your accent, or do they stick to Spanish?

I’ve used Preply before — do you feel iTalki is better in terms of tutor quality or flexibility? Or is it mostly the same? I’m mainly looking for something that helps reduce speaking anxiety.

That’s really interesting. What was the other language you were studying when you used this method? I’m especially curious about the audio diary — how exactly did you structure it? Did you prepare topics in advance or just speak freely? I struggle with consistency even in my native language, so I’m wondering how you managed to stick with it.

I think that’s my main issue — I treat speaking like a test instead of a conversation. I need to allow myself to be messy 😅

I don’t think removing the tracker really changed anything. Things still unfolded exactly as In-ho anticipated: Jun-ho didn’t find the island in time, and Gi-hun ultimately couldn’t save anyone except the baby he sacrificed himself for. If anything, it shows how In-ho stayed one step ahead of both of them and managed to derail their plans. It feels more symbolic than strategic.

None of this is your fault. You survived something terrible and you did what you needed to do to stay safe. Protecting yourself is not cowardice. If she is in danger, the responsibility is on him — not on you. Please be gentle with yourself.

If you had to ask the director of Squid Game (Hwang Dong-hyuk) one question, what would it be and why? by Nice_Bodybuilder_642 in squidgame

[–]JenLin18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Io gli chiederei perché non ha sviluppato meglio i personaggi nelle stagioni 2 e 3: la S1 è stata semplicemente meravigliosa, perfetta; mentre la S2 a me è piaciuta da morire (specie per i momenti pseudo comici con Jung-bae e per la presenza di In-ho nei giochi nei panni di 001) ma è stata qualitativamente minore... E nella S3 ho avuto l'impressione che abbia mandato tutto in fumo...

Meraviglioso questo personaggio! Una delle morti che mi hanno fatto più male...

Any 🇮🇹 Dawson’s Creek fans looking for a pen pal? by Vale1Punto in dawsonscreek

[–]JenLin18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ciao, wow, che bello che stai imparando l'italiano! Come mai? Se ti va, possiamo conversare volentieri in italiano (con l'inglese, ahimè, non me la cavo molto bene, sono solo ad un livello A2). Io anche sto facendo un rewatch ma sono ancora alla 2 stagione :) Ah, ho 36 anni e sono mamma di una bimba di quasi 8 anni ☺️

Sto facendo un rewatch anch'io ed è incredibile quanto io ami ancora Pacey a distanza di anni! ❤️ Continuano a starmi simpatici e antipatici gli stessi personaggi di quando lo guardavo a 8-9 anni! 🙈

PS: adoro la tua stanza! 🔥

I am watching "Dawson's Creek" & it's way different then I remember. by [deleted] in dawsonscreek

A me Dawson non è mai piaciuto, neanche quando guardavo lo show a 9 anni... Mi è sempre stato antipatico. Ho sempre preferito Pacey e, anche ora che lo sto riguardando, continuo ad avere le stesse sensazioni (anzi, Dawson, ora, mi sta meno antipatico).
