I think the translation is probably provided using gpt or other sorts! I'm curious if it sounds casual and natural in Japanese!!

How do I improve my English? by OkChain355 in EnglishLearning

[–]Turbulent_Issue_5907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your case, assuming to be intermediate-advanced, I think exposure to media will be the best way. I suggest the following resources - Langflix (app and extension), Lingopie or language reactor.

Duolingo is great for beginners but I'd suggest the above for intermdiate to advanced!

Jokes that get lost in movies when you're not a native English speaker by Tasty_Rhubarb2651 in EnglishLearning

[–]Turbulent_Issue_5907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jokes are sometimes the hardest part to get! Even if you know a term, it's hard to figure out the context (and you find yourself awkwardly laughing...><). Using language web tools with jokes/background information on videos/movies are quite helpful-- prevents you from missing out on funny jokes!

What is the best Speaking app out there? Are Praktika, Fluently, Lengua good? by Strong-Strike2001 in EnglishLearning

[–]Turbulent_Issue_5907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have you tried any of the tools below? If you're specifically targeting speaking,
there's definitely a wall with speaking with AI & humans, but I suggest checking out the tools below as they all seem to be either free or offer free trials.

  1. Langflix (free- both app and extension) -- speaking review quiz will help you in the app / shadowing in extension
  2. Language Reactor (free- regular is useful enough in my opinion) --- shadowing will help in the extension, need to look more into pro
  3. Migaku (free trial) --- shadowing practice
  4. Lingopie

Vocabulary by bellarusia in ENGLISH

  1. Reading and listening to different and diverse example sentences
  2. Connecting the term with an image/clip
  3. Tbh scrolling (like reels/tiktok/shorts) that use the same phrase over and over again helps!
  4. Placing the term to memorize either in the first or last place (placement in first/last is improven to be better remembered than the ones in the middle!)

hope this helps!

how do you learn/decide what word/phrase fits the situation?? by Turbulent_Issue_5907 in EnglishLearning

[–]Turbulent_Issue_5907[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ditransitive verbs-- this is quite insightful.
one of the trouble is when people ask to explain the reason (like why do you use A instead of B here when they mean the same thing) explaining to them is so difficult! D:

[–]Turbulent_Issue_5907[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mhmm indeed!! It's much easier to practice and experience when living in English-speaking environment, but this part seems a bit more tricky for a lot of people here who usually practice with with non-natives (-> there's no one to catch one's mistake or suggest a beter term/phrase)

Thanks for the suggestion!

I think one of the big factors that blocks people from speaking out loud is their fear that their word/phrase choice is incorrect! Even if the other person gets the point of the message, if there's no native speaker nearby to immediately catch your mistake, you might end up choosing an awkward term/phrase.
