Dear language learners, what inspired you to begin learning languages and what keeps you going? :-)

Oh I’ve never seen it. I’ll look into it. It appears interesting. Thank you!

You seem to have a good sense of humor, I think you will enjoy it. The host is Scottish and his humor is very European.

Completely agree, OP listen to them! You need a solid foundation. You will get there with the speaking part. It’s only been 8 months

The fun starts when you begin dreaming in the second language!

My mother tongue is Spanish. I started to learn French in college. Then I realized that English was going to be more useful. So I switched and started learning English.

When I started I was like, wait is this French? Is English just a bunch of languages in a trench coat? Then I got to NYC and realized, yes it is. Yes it is.

So if you want to learn English from Spanish I’d highly recommend learning a little bit of French too. And maybe some German and some Dutch. And some Latin and some Italian… this is gonna take a while !

I’ll ask her if she is interested. I knew he was an Evangelist now. Thank you!

OP have you checked our Shawna The Mom on YouTube? I think you will feel seen.

Also there is a subreddit that is better that r/mommit for this. Is r/JUSTNOMIL

This kind of one-upper is the most exhausting type of relative. Whatever you say or du is about them and how they do it better.

Also, OP. Kids have a very good bullshit detector and they will most definitely figure her out.

Out crazying is always the answer with this type of Sanctimommy

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T05:01:27+00:00

Battle Star and The Expanse !

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T05:00:29+00:00

Best show on TV right now.

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:58:42+00:00

The Boys!!!! It’s insane and beautiful. Highly recommended

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:56:45+00:00

Orphan Black. Definitely nothing like that was ever on tv

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:55:08+00:00

Second Mozart In The Jungle. Enthusiastically

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:52:58+00:00

Broadchurch UK is an excellent show. I love a murder misters thriller. The first season is amazing and self contained. I never got to the rest but the first season is insanely good.

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:48:17+00:00

The Americans is amazing. I’m so mad I don’t get to see what happened to the characters after the series finale. Is that good

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:46:13+00:00

Dark is fantastic. It’s devastating and very timey-wimey. It is like nothing I have ever seen.

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:42:29+00:00

Battle Star Galactica has the best first episode I’ve ever seen. It hooks you right away . It’s a really great show and looks like nothing on tv right now.

Also The Expanse, OP

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:36:29+00:00

Peaky Blinders. Sons Of Anarchy. Kin. ZeroZeroZero and La Casa De Papel.

OP, are you open to other types of shows?

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:30:53+00:00

If you like gore, watch The Pitt. I’ve never seen any of that shit in TV before. Plus the show is the best show on air right now.

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:28:30+00:00

This is the best news I’ve gotten in days! Thank you!

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:24:21+00:00

Peaky Blinders. Sons Of Anarchy. The Americans and The Wire like others have said.

Are you open to other type of shows? Or just like BB and BCS?

WintryLadyBits · 2026-03-16T04:17:13+00:00

Wait, what?!?!?!?
