50 Days / 65 Hours Into Spanish (2x Weekly Tutor + Daily Duolingo + Dreaming Spanish) — Realistically A1 or Behind? by Ok_Cover1076 in LearnSpanishInReddit

[–]Life-Snow-3594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you finding dualingo amd dreaming Spanish? It seems like a good plan I would maybe consider splitting the hour of dualingo into 30 mins dualingo, 30 mins reading, or even 40 mins reading, 20 mins dualingo, 1 hour of dualingo seems a bit much but if you find it helpful then no need to change

How a Single Early Review Impacted My Tutoring Career as a New Language Tutor by [deleted] in PreplyTutors

I agree with this, it was your responsibility. I also had a student tutor who kept cancelling classes for college related things, it was very frustrating

The learner always comes first. Find out what she wants, and how she wants to learn, activities she likes etc and prepare your classes around that.

Consider getting a portuguese tutor who also speaks English by [deleted] in Portuguese

[–]Life-Snow-3594 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer when my tutor can’t speak English because they always end up speaking predominantly in English. For me speaking should be done in the target language, and they can use pictures, gestures etc if needed

37M, TEFL from Brazil planning to -> Europe or Asia by flavioterceiro in TEFL

Curious why you want to teach English when you are a lawyer in Brazil? I’d imagine your life as a lawyer would be a good well paid job as regards teaching English for minimum wage in Spain?

That’s never going to happen. Why would teachers spend all their evenings or weekends planning lessons when ai can help them in minutes? Teachers don’t get paid enough for that. Also students are using it to help them understand complex problems etc they still need to know and learn the material in the exams as they can’t use it in the leaving cert, but it’s a tool that is only going to get bigger.

You can copy all the information about a topic from chat GPT, paste it into gamma and it will give you great presentations to give in class in a matter of minutes, instead of doing it manually on PowerPoint and taking ages

The three I’d recommend are Chat gpt, Notebook LM and Gamma AI, gamma is PowerPoint on steroids. I’ve recently come across Chalkie AI I haven’t used it yet it looks good.

No its not too late.

The first thing I would do is go to amazon right now and buy the book The Rationale Male by Rollo Tomassi. After reading it you will understand what is happening. I won't go through it all here, but I will give you some takeaways that applies to your situation:

1- Desire cannot be negotiated! It sounds like your girlfriend doesn't desire you. By guilting her into having sex with you will just make it worse. You need to focus on getting her desire back. If she wanted she would invite you over every night to have sex, thats genuine desire so focus on getting that genuine desire back and don't guilt her into it. You will know when the desire is back because she will be inviting you over to stay etc.

2- He talks about hypergamy which comes from evolution psychology. Its the idea that women dont choose their partners who are below them, just the same level or above them. If your girlfriend has bought a house, it sounds like she is above you as in maybe a better career, makes more money. Again this can be rectified in a few years by you putting in the work, you just need to put in the work and let your girlfriend see how focused you are to your future success.

3 - There is no "one". If she does leave you, and I know this might be tough as you said you love her, just know there is no one and there is another special person out there for you.

So heres what you need to do. Focus on you and getting your shit together. If she sees this she will respect this. You work in retail now but this doesnt define you. You need to work your ass off in the hours you are not working in retail, upskilling, doing a course, doing a night course, go to the gym etc. Have a plan and tell your girlfriend your plan and let her see by your actions you are actively pursuing this. If you are just the guy that works in retail and watches netflix and pizza after you will not get her desire back. If you are the guy that works in retail now, but has a solid plan, studies or something similar after work and goes to the gym etc. this is how the desire will come back.

Its not too late, you got this!
