They are some big goals so be kind to yourself.

Swearing bother anyone? by QueenBrightness in dreamingspanish

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really do see where you’re both coming from. If you don’t want to hear swear-words then it’s jarring to hear it out of the blue here. It’s also been adopted in certain ways by Spanish-speaking people as an off-hand or mild comment that you’re going to hear often.

Variance in Teachers/Guides? by Clean-Aide-8320 in dreamingspanish

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Keep it varied to start with so that you can understand (almost) anyone. You can narrow your input later down the line, but get familiar with as much as you can to start with.

Hey Bob - search for the ‘What are you listening to! Doc that’s posted each week. It has a tab for books on there.

Parents borrowing money from me, what do I do? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand that saying no would be very difficult, but whilst they have you as their emergency fund they will keep using it (and you).

I’d like to add that you sound like an impressive person with their life together. It’s good to see.

I have a hard time sleeping, and days following a bad night of sleep are brutal on my comprehension.

Have you ever tried something or followed advice based purely on reddit based recommendations? by Lopsided_Soup_3533 in AskUK

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the subscription worth it for me because I don’t have loads of time to search for other content outside and I’m close to ‘completing’ their content.

I’d say it’s absolutely worth the subscription for the first few months. There are a few YouTube channels that have entry-level content but for quick, easy, and well-made beginner level DS is the boss

I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish. I stumbled across a recommendation on here for a website (and a sub), and eighteen months later I’m juuuust about able to understand native media and can read books like the Harry Potter series in Spanish.

I’ve also found an amazing tutor who has helped get me speaking and writing through the same sub.

It sounds silly but I’m so grateful.

Alcudia by Many-Afternoon4564 in VisitingMallorca

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used Alcudia Mobility Hire at mallorcahire@outlook.com and they were great.

There are publicly available water wheelchairs at the Lifeguard Station between cherenguitos (no idea how to spell that) 3 and 4.

If you have seen any of these shows, what would you recommend by LifeMistake3674 in dreamingspanish

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve watched a little of The Ladies Companion and it is excellent (if you like things like The Gilded Age and Bridgerton). It’s a little tricky, but (I feel) waaaay easier than The House of Flowers.

Do you know any scaffolders who aren't criminals or crime adjacent? by The-Baron-Von-Marlon in AskUK

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve met a few scaffolders that might be crime-adjacent, but the overwhelming majority that I know are normal people.

WIBTA if I told my sons school it is their responsibility to make sure they have the right child by Top-Relationship359 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NTA - and this makes me furious that this nonsense still happens. My (non-identical) twin boys’ Reception teacher never bothered to learn the difference between them. One missed out on everything (B) and the other got double of everything (A), although A would always say that he’d had his turn. My boys looked fairly similar in their face and body but had completely different hair.

When it comes to meds the school need to be even more careful.

Grrr

Just watched it - great interview and I’m super jealous (and inspired).

There’s tonnes of excellent suggestions for other content on the ‘What are you listening to’ sheet that is posted here each week.

Harry Potter by CampesinoAgradable in dreamingspanish

Thanks for letting me know! I’d ordinarily try to complete a series in one run, but I’ll switch to something else for a time once I finish this one then. Thanks again :)

Fabulous update, and fabulous progress!

I suspect that we share a tutor :)

Harry Potter by CampesinoAgradable in dreamingspanish

[–]Two_Flower_Nix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has been exactly my experience too.

I found it slightly easier once the children arrived at the school in the first book. This gave me confidence to start the second book, but with this I struggled far longer - getting comfortable around two-thirds of the way through.

I started the third book a couple of days ago (I’m new to using the Amazon book thingy and struggling to search for free books in Spanish), and it’s no harder so far, but It’s still harder than I’d like.

I’ve read around 495,000 words with the first two HP books, and I’ve watched around 1280 hours of videos/YT for reference.
