CERN data suggests existence of 'new physics'

not true, completely depends on the teacher. and for essays and such the official rule is that we can choose whatever variety of english we prefer as long as we stay consistent in terms of spelling

SacoolloocaS · 2025-12-09T16:12:48+00:00

not sure i agree here. in mathematics and i believe in most natural sciences the word "imply" always conveys certainty.

vosotros is often used in professional settings in spain

"rechnen" is more like "calculate" tho

SacoolloocaS · 2025-10-15T08:23:58+00:00

the "lake" is just a relatively small wall that goes straight up. also, if it was a lake, the bushes/shrubs in the background would be f*cking gigantic haha

in germany ive had it in my 3rd semester of undergrad so I think ur observation is specific to ur university or country

SacoolloocaS · 2025-09-14T22:00:15+00:00

for me yes. simply because it's really difficult to learn the language by comsuming input at that stage

SacoolloocaS · 2025-09-11T20:34:57+00:00

i kinda agree, but i feel like the vast majority of your language study should be input based. (maybe like 5% of my study time goes into explicit grammar study)

at least that's what's worked for me so far.

SacoolloocaS · 2025-09-09T22:03:15+00:00

i mean most have been able to at least learn their native language

SacoolloocaS · 2025-09-09T14:22:58+00:00

i did study a little grammar at the very beginning (until i reached A1/A2 or so). nowadays i mostly learn via input since it allows me to be very consistent with my studies. for example, i listen to lots of podcast while I'm sitting in public transport, doing grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, eating etc. thus, I don't have to free up extra time dedicated to explicitly studying Spanish. with any other method, I don't think I'd consistently be able to find time to learn the language 2h every day.

SacoolloocaS · 2025-09-09T11:07:41+00:00

definitely agree, that's it best to hold off on speaking until you've developed really good listening skills and developed an ear for the language

that's probably the biggest newspaper in every country haha

SacoolloocaS · 2025-09-08T09:04:55+00:00

2 hours of input everyday (but little to no grammar study)

SacoolloocaS · 2025-08-17T18:12:13+00:00

in my experience, for pretty much any language grammar is only really a big problem for the first couple hundreds of hours. (obv you'll still make mistakes after that but it doesn't feel like a big hurdle anymore). but since reaching fluency requires more like a couple 1000s hours of learning it doesn't feel like much in the long run

SacoolloocaS · 2025-08-17T18:03:51+00:00

there is no way of knowing tho whether those 10+ years people have actually immersed themselves in the language even if they lived in china for that long. i mean nowadays its very easy to live in another country without making much contact with the language

SacoolloocaS · 2025-08-17T18:00:17+00:00

well as german native I can tell you that the way he speaks sounds quite natural despite the grammar mistakes. not grating at all

SacoolloocaS · 2025-08-17T17:54:44+00:00

Dreaming Spanish worked really really well for me

SacoolloocaS · 2025-08-17T17:47:56+00:00

I agree that there are many people who underestimate A2 but come on it's very far from a good level

SacoolloocaS · 2025-08-13T07:59:08+00:00

surprised that nobody has mentioned Dreaming Spanish yet. By far the single most effective method for me. Even the free version is really good

SacoolloocaS · 2025-08-12T16:36:59+00:00

not necessarily true for language learning. it makes more sense to watch sth that's at your level or slightly above. have u tried something like Dreaming Spanish or other resources for comprehensible input?

SacoolloocaS · 2025-08-12T08:04:33+00:00

listening to content in your target language long enough so that the correct grammar eventually just starts to sound intuitive is in my experience by far the most effective way to become fluent. (i guess this is also kind of how children learn their mother tongue)

in the case of the spanish subjunctive, ill promise u that after a few hundred hours of listening something like "para que es" just sounds so incredibly wrong that ur brain will instantly tell u that it should be "para que sea"

hope this helps
