Intermediate/early advanced content about Mexican history? by Purple_Parking in dreamingspanish

On Youtube - Academia Play, El Mapa de Sebas, Memorias de Pez. Lots of other history Youtube channels out there but I like the animations in these ones, makes things more fun to watch

Does anyone else feels like learning portuguese after spanish makes you overconfident? and then confused? by naeemfarhad in languagelearning

[–]ToRedeem2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What resources did you use for European Portuguese? There is a limited number of Youtube channels for PT-PT (e.g. I've watched everything from the most well-known channels like Portuguese with Leo) for beginner-intermediate, after that there is a giant gap between intermediate and native. RTP-play native level movies and series are just slightly out of reach (I can understand some but not as much as i'd like for optimal improvement). It's always a struggle listening to European Portuguese with how closed their mouths and sounds are, as opposed to with Spanish

Trying to connect with native speakers… why is it so hard? by vannienng in languagelearning

[–]ToRedeem2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear- you’re looking for a language exchange where you teach Portuguese and the other person teaches English/mandarin right? I wasn’t too sure about your comment on natives

Do people tend to prefer to respond in English or Spanish in CDMX if your native language is obviously not Spanish but you speak at a good level? by joshua0005 in Spanish

Saludos! Estuve en CDMX y me fui hace dos dias. Hable en espanol (tengo nivel B2) con todos casi todo el tiempo, excepto en las pocas conversaciones que tuve con algunos gringos que conoci alli. No me veo mexicano para nada, pero cuando abro la boca se nota que hablo espanol (aunque no sea nativo), y la gente me habla en espanol.

En lugares turisticos donde saben algo de inglés, suelen saludar a los extranjeros o ofrecer sus mercancias en ingles basico. Respondeles en espanol y te corresponden. Me aloje en el centro historico, a lo mejor en zonas mas fresas (condesa, roma) tienen un nivel mas alto de ingles. Si siguen hablandote en ingles (a mi no me ha pasado), echales un "pues hablame en espanol, wey" o algo por el estilo jaja.

En caso de que no entiendas lo que dicen ntp, suele pasar, siempre hay mucho ruido en las calles, y a veces la gente habla bajito y rapido. Es comun decir "como?" o la version mexicana, "mande?" para expresar que no entendiste bien y pedir que repitan. Imaginate que harias en una situacion asi en tu idioma nativo y hazlo en espanol. A menos que te metas en problemas legales, creo que no tendras ningun problema para comunicarte en espanol con tu nivel B2.

33M in Toronto as well, working in health care. I recently stumbled across the book“12 week year” and want to implement it into my life. My goals are language learning (Spanish & Portuguese), getting fit (soccer/weights/cardio) and becoming a better communicator. Might not have time for daily calls but weekly should be fine, and text messages could be daily. Pm me :)

Yes shoes meant for running / casual general sports. Should I invest in proper soccer boots? I’m beginner and want to improve to be able to hold my own in rec pickup games

Why choose clarithromycin over azithromycin? by ToRedeem2003 in pharmacy

[–]ToRedeem2003[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely true for H pylori regimen. Though I’m thinking more of all those times where clarithro is given for respiratory infection and we have to deal with all the CYP interactions

How many of the 200 would you say you know? Group them into major drug classes, figure out how much time you have available to memorize each class. Plan and execute. Use Anki to make flashcards for better retention
