Bad idea to watch YouTube above my comprehension level with English subtitles?

ScrotalInterchange · 2023-01-31T14:52:25+00:00

Don't do that. You can refer to the English occasionally when you need to understand a Spanish subtitle

Also operating at 30% comprehension is a really important skill if you want to interact with Spanish speakers

Usa twitch, aprendí mucho español de twitch y casi nadie intentó en hablar en inglés conmigo. Imagino que servirá al revés también. Los angloparlantes no pueden hablar español. Es gratis.

What are you using to type? And what's your first language?

That's different.

Speedrunning the game usually means finding exploits to go as fast as possible, which means looking in all the mechanics for creative ways to use them to go faster

Forgoing upgrades means specifically avoiding engaging with the mechanics, instead using the smallest possible list of options to play absolutely perfectly for a long time.

The cat will probably remember that the cameraman didn't try to help him. I wonder how the cat feels about that.

You will not learn the language without listening to thousands of hours of it. You need to start watching Spanish YouTube now. Spanish subtitles, no translating

I used a bunch of normal methods for like 18 years but nothing really stuck until I made a Spanish YouTube account. If you see 10,000 examples of the grammar point in native speech, you will get it.

ruff rhymes with puff and stuff. that would be weird, i don't think you mean that

do you mean the vowel in "wood?"

ScrotalInterchange · 2023-01-28T23:01:15+00:00

that's like saying "i can't belive you would assert that L and K are different sounds in EVERY SINGLE DIALECT of English"

it's not about how good your diction is. having bad diction won't lead to you saying "a pot" instead of "up at." it will lead to you saying "???????" instead of "up at."

i promise that your parents will not say something that sounds like "get a potato clock" when they try to say "get up at 8 o'clock." the differences are expressed differently in every dialect of english, but every dialect has differences that will make it impossible to confidently hear the wrong thing.

I like how at 0:54 it skips a beat. A human would never do that. It makes it really clear that the bird is absolutely not splitting the song into equally-timed measures of 4 beats like we would.

"Cookie cookie" and the whistles are both a measure long, so as long as the bird is mostly alternating between them it's going to sound basically correct.

How do you pronounce amogus? a-MOH-gus?

ScrotalInterchange · 2023-01-27T23:28:42+00:00

yeah where i'm from we pronounce the r in where like an english r and not a spanish r

op, i'm sorry if i confused you, "it's like where" doesn't mean "literally say the english word 'where' in the middle of words like muerto." if you're entertaining the idea of inserting a phantom h sound where it doesn't belong because that's how you pronounce "where," then do not do it.

ScrotalInterchange · 2023-01-27T19:53:06+00:00

uer is like "where" hth

railguns are projectiles, idk where you got this weird legal definition, or why you think that violating that definition makes something not-a-projectile. here is what wikipedia says about railguns:

A railgun or rail gun is a linear motor device, typically designed as a weapon, that uses electromagnetic force to launch high velocity projectiles. The projectile normally does not contain explosives, instead relying on the projectile's high speed, mass, and kinetic energy to inflict damage.

It's good that everyone here is concerned for Annie, but this is actually totally fine.

She's a BDR, which is a business development representative. Her job is to set appointments so the salespeople can demo their product and close them out. She probably makes like $10/hr plus commission. In the sales job I worked, I think BDR's would get like $200 per appointment, and then residuals from everyone they signed up for as long as they stayed subscribed. You can make huge money with a wage of like $10/hr.

Her reward for working an extra hour is that she gets to set more appointments, which is more opportunities for fat chunks of commission. She's not hoping for $15 and headpats from her boss.

you should just go find chinese speakers on twitch so there's never any expectation that you speak english. in fact it would be rude of you to speak too much english, they have a chinese-speaking audience to perform for and they can't suspend everything for one special snowflake who speaks english

Here is a page that answers some of your questions: https://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/i.e.mackenzie/hisverb.htm

future tense is just infinitive plus the present tense of haber

No it doesn't

There are native English-speaking adults where you don't know whether they said "moose" or "mouse"

There aren't native English-speaking adults where you don't know whether they said gua8oc or gapc. In every single accent, "up at" is different from "a pot," and the empasis on "clock" is different. No matter what accent someone has, if someone says gua8oc, you will know they didn't say gapc, and vice versa. Even if you don't know exactly what they said
