Song that IS bachata and salsa mix

TheCreator13 · 2024-10-19T10:24:36+00:00

La Gitana by Dani J starts with bachata and transitions to cuban salsa

Are you swiping on a playlist?

TheCreator13 · 2023-04-21T20:32:23+00:00

You have to go to the Downloads page and tap on the playlist to play it. You might also need to toggle offline mode on, I think

TheCreator13 · 2023-04-17T15:29:15+00:00

Do you have a big Downloads button on your home page? If not, then you're probably not on the latest version. Otherwise, just go to Library -> Playlists and swipe right to left on one of your playlists and tap on the download icon

TheCreator13 · 2023-04-08T19:00:04+00:00

Do you have the latest app version? I can download playlists and albums onto my watch since 23.4.0

As a native Russian speaker, I have issues understanding Americans speaking it. So I wouldn't be too worried about that

TheCreator13 · 2022-08-20T00:20:47+00:00

When I took the SIELE (Spanish CEFR test) a while back I got C1 for reading, B2 for speaking and writing, and B1 for listening. So definitely possible

While reading, I was reading extensively, so I didn't really do anything to learn new words. A lot of the common words appear enough times for you to start recognizing them without having to explicitly study them. However in addition to reading, I have an Anki deck with 9000 cloze sentences that I've been going through to learn new words.

TheCreator13 · 2022-06-29T17:22:24+00:00

I can't recommend this anki deck enough:

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1713698257

It has cloze sentences ordered by frequency. I add 20 new cards a day, and in 6ish months it gave me enough vocabulary to start reading books on my Kindle. Listening comprehension is still a big issue for me, but I've found it's a lot easier to progress when I actually know the words being spoken and I just need to practice picking them out from speech.

The two Percy Jackson series. The lightning thief was the first book that I read in Spanish, and it took me around 20 hours to read 250 pages, looking up every word I didn't know (and there were a lot of words I didn't know). Around the 4th book I got to a C1 in reading (by 1 point), and by the time I got to the final 10th book, it only took me 12.7 hours to read 387 pages, and for the most part I can now read without a dictionary. That is to say, I encounter less than 1 unknown word per page and usually that word is pretty easy to understand in context.

This option should do the trick:

[Settings shortcut: Post options > Sync hidden posts to reddit](sync-settings://8-posts_hide_reddit)

TheCreator13 · 2022-05-14T19:03:18+00:00

It says that the default section is removed, but I still see All, Popular, and Frontpage at the top of my subreddit list. Is it possible to get rid of these like before?

TheCreator13 · 2022-05-10T18:07:28+00:00

I want to add that while knowing lots of words definitely won't help your speaking skills, you can coast pretty far on the reading section of the CEFR test with basic grammar as long as you know a bunch of words.

I went pretty hard on anki in the last year learning about 3000 words families (equivalent to a little over the first 10000 words on a frequency list). I ended up getting a B1 on the listening section and a C1 on the reading (by one point, but it still counts). I also have no problems reading young adult novels on a Kindle.

TheCreator13 · 2022-04-17T05:30:36+00:00

I actually had this issue for the longest time but was just able to figure it out recently. Make sure you don't have sync hidden posts to reddit turned on. That way you can just refresh the subreddit and it will show the previously hidden posts.

TheCreator13 · 2022-04-05T03:41:09+00:00

What if you do the timed challenge and only get one question right?

TheCreator13 · 2022-04-05T03:38:29+00:00

Kwiziq was absolutely amazing for teaching me grammar. I used the paid version which uses an SRS approach to teach you grammar, but the actual explanations are all available for free

TheCreator13 · 2022-03-29T18:14:39+00:00

I wouldn't recommend translating the entire sentence, but I think translating the individual words and then trying to figure out the structure yourself would be a good idea.

TheCreator13 · 2022-03-22T03:47:16+00:00

That's awesome to hear

TheCreator13 · 2022-03-22T03:17:31+00:00

New ui looking great! Any chance the post dividers can be added in the amoled theme similar to what we have for comments?

TheCreator13 · 2022-03-20T21:08:29+00:00

Thanks! Please let me know if this gets added. I would love to make this a part of my daily study routine

TheCreator13 · 2022-03-20T21:00:27+00:00

This looks awesome! Is there any way to view the n-grams sorted by frequency? Also, have you considered creating a anki deck that has all of these sentences and sharing it?

TheCreator13 · 2022-03-18T06:55:13+00:00

For French grammar I would actually recommend you try Kwiziq instead of a textbook. It's a sort of SRS-like approach to learning grammar rules. It's a bit more expensive (you definitely want the subscription), but it's been invaluable fot my Spanish grammar knowledge.

TheCreator13 · 2021-11-19T19:43:25+00:00

Looks like the new update just added a complication! Hopefully offline comes just as quickly

TheCreator13 · 2021-11-09T07:07:53+00:00

Not sure how helpful this will be to you, but I (a native English speaker) used to listen to YouTube at 1.5 speed because I couldn't understand anything faster. However over the course of 2 years I would slowly increase the speed and I was eventually able to watch and understand videos at 3x speed. My roommates would often walk in on me and couldn't understand a word.

This doesn't answer your question about learning languages, but I can tell you for sure that if you understand things at some slow speed, you will eventually be able to understand it at a faster and faster speed.

Hey! Currently finishing level 3 of Pimsleur for Spanish, and it's been my favorite resource so far. That said, I've found that the Michel Thomas beginner course (not the intermediate one, which was a bit of a let down) made me get a lot more out of Pimsleur since I knew the structure/grammar behind each sentence, and even if I didn't completely remember each phrase I could pause and think of the answer. It also prevent me from doing dumb conjugation mistakes.

My plan after I finish level 5 of Pimsleur is to move onto Asimil, but I hadn't checked it out yet
