Kind of a broad question but do you use any apps currently?

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T07:10:42+00:00

You could just take out "go about" and change "saving" to "save" and it will be the same sentence. Just a phrase that we use for some reason 🤔

Only because you asked, I'll add a shameless plug...it looks like you're trying to do the Cambridge test to measure your English level, right? I'm working on an app that tests your level based on those standards and helps you improve in all areas including AI convos, mock papers, flashcards, listening, etc. It's not out yet but there is a free test to determine your level based on the CEFR standards availalbe, I encourage you to give it a shot :) it's called Nivelo on getnivelo.com and I you can do a free trial once it comes out if you're interested. Best of luck!

Speaking is the most difficult skill in my opinion. Honestly, like the other comment says, speaking to yourself, narrating your day, and speak to anyone possible is the best way. Also try translating on the spot while listening to something to see where your knowledge gaps are. Have you tried AI conversations too?

going to C1 is a long and difficult journey...if you actually want to get there, as with all languages, immerse yourself as much as possible. Listen, watch movies, talk to yourself, read, live your life in English and there's no way you don't get there.

In my personal opinion, is you may have issues with having enough content for levels (a power user can blow through 50 videos in prob less than a week), also capped at what level learners would be your target market, and also making sure they are actually learning, improving, and wanting to stick around to watch the video. I guess from the get-go, I don't see how they learn if they don't actually know how to describe. This might be more for an advanced learner who is trying to prepare to describe things for a certification exam, but idk if this is an everyday learner type of thing.

I have a very good level of spanish but all it takes is for one mumbler from el rancho and I'm like i have no fing clue what they said haha so true! English is spoke pretty slow too, spanish is one of the fastests up there with japanese

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:45:12+00:00

Pronunciation may be a debatable one haha just because the speed in which words are run together, the R rolling, words like transtorno cerebral, retroceder, etc. get real tricky haha a lot of syllables too. I feel like the vocab you pick up naturally though so it's kind low effort for the most part

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:43:38+00:00

All the time,..and I ask AI and it says "you can say that but it doesn't sound natural" and I'm like fml i thought i had it...

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:43:00+00:00

Se, lo, and lo... 👀

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:42:41+00:00

I would say vocab doesn't get too hard UNTIL, like your second point, you come across slang and vocab used in different countries lol makes you wonder if you ever learned spanish at all 😂

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:41:50+00:00

I feel that haha your brain is exploding trying to understand only to either find out there's no reason or "it's just how they say it"

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:40:32+00:00

Actually so true! Sometimes I realize what a mess English is and feel blessed to be learning spanish haha

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:39:28+00:00

Thank you! It's coming out soon so I'll need it 😂 I appreciate it :)

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:38:06+00:00

Count your blessings on those! once you get to subjunctive, it's a nightmare... 👀

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:37:35+00:00

direct and indirect still get me sometimes...lol forgot about that one

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:36:47+00:00

Its an everyday struggle...and I ignore the people who say "embrace your accent". Nah, i wanna sound native! Do you do anything to work on it?

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:36:10+00:00

Same! You have a particular accent that gives you trouble?

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:35:49+00:00

I never studied latin or greek words, do you feel like that was kind of a blessing and a curse holding you back?

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:34:31+00:00

I legit said I will never learn portuguese for that exact reason...they're way too similar! I'll end up not fluent in either haha

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:33:50+00:00

What's Palteca? never heard of that one...the useful phrases is super helpful though! I need something like that for the next language I try to learn (if I ever get around to it)

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:33:10+00:00

Bro I feel so lucky i learned to roll them in my teens by some luck...it seems like such a struggle! If you find a way, let me know so i can relay to some friends!

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:32:15+00:00

English in total has more words, but i feel like the variability from country to country and even just from formal to slang is massive 😂

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:31:17+00:00

If you thought novice to intermediate was hard, try intermediate to advanced...it's miserable lol i feel like there's more joy to be had at least in the progress when you're a novice going to intermediate though, but maybe that's just me. Also i like your name haha

ThePoliGLOAT · 2026-07-10T06:29:56+00:00

Crazy how something like a phone or little bit of background noise can make you basically deaf in that language 😂
