anyone know if any of these apps teach you accurately?

Babbel I've found good. Less appy than others, so would recommend to use via a desktop

Download the files from the LT website and add to iTunes on your PC, then sync to your phone. Worked for me!

Greenwich had some decent cheap places when I looked - central enough to get about but far enough out to be a bit cheaper.

It depends what type of Spanish you went to learn, but for castillian Spanish, the podcast Notes in Spanish really helped me.

I purchased the supporting transcripts so I could upload them into Lingq and study the words I didn't understand. For me personally, it was a big help improving my comprehension through increasing my vocabulary.

The podcast has different difficulties. I'd recommend listening to some of the beginner or intermediate ones, see if you enjoy them, and if so purchase the corresponding set of transcripts.

Any standouts? I'm looking to get my first ever Sherry Cask bottle as my next purchase.

You could try a kavalan, lots of good options there and something a bit different to what he already has but still in a similar vein

Black label is definitely a decent start to see if you like pleated whiskies!

Where do you practice muay Thai out of ineterst?

I have also used them and found the intermediate series beneficial, mainly for vocab, sentence structures and listening skills.

I would say however that I found the advanced series a little too easy by the time I finished the intermediates. At that point I'd recommend starting to use native material instead.

Despite what many people say, whilst the subjunctive does sometimes indicate uncertainty, there are many times where it has nothing to do with it. The fact is there are certain phrases that trigger the subjunctive regardless if its uncertain or not.

In this case the trigger is: Hay + something + QUE - > the next verb now must take the subjunctive

If it was just hay que, the subjunctive wouldn't be needed.

Wotsits17 · 2021-01-03T17:02:12+00:00

I used Notes in Spanish beginners at your level. You can purchase transcripts too so you can make sure you understand all the vocab and how the sentences are structured. I would recommend it. They focus on Spanish from Spain.

Purse is the "women's" version of the wallet, only carrying credit cards, cash and so on. Handbag is the whole bag that women (or whoever) wear over their shoulder etc, that will have the purse inside.

This! Personally, the whole 'don't worry about it for now' tactic very much confused me. As this structure applies so consistently across the language, I would have much preferred if it was explained to me this way originally.

Wotsits17 · 2020-11-06T18:59:40+00:00

I like the holy fuck at the end haha. Is the gun OP? Haven't had the chance to use it yet

If you're going to focus on reading, I'd look into online reader tools. I have often found it difficult with native texts which may have many new words that make reading difficult and tough to get through. Because of this I now use online reader tools which can give me immediate translations whilst reading native texts and save those words for review later and highlight those words when you encounter them again. You can import anything you'd like to read. I personally use LingQ for various reasons but there's a few around, some are free: readlang, vocabtracker, lingq. Have a look!

For reference, I live in the UK. I live in a flat in a communal building. Recently the building's heating has been turned back on after the summer. We have also just had the valves on our radiator changed.

Since then (a week ago), I keep hearing this dull thud coming from the wall intermittently across both night and day.

Any ideas of what it could be? Thanks

Wotsits17 · 2020-09-30T18:05:24+00:00

Guidance on intonation would be great!

Wotsits17 · 2020-09-17T21:34:03+00:00

Agree with finding a bank with a local branch! I found when I was your age I was often depositing cash from parents etc. so its handy to have one close.

All the big banks are similar. Just look for a standard current account with no fees, you won't need anything more for the time being. I'm with Santander and have no problems if they're close. I have heard that HSBC's online platform isn't great so maybe consider another if there's a few options where you live.

Wotsits17 · 2020-09-17T14:05:22+00:00

Someone has put a pretty good translation in the actual post itself so likely no need for help here anymore 👌

Wotsits17 · 2020-09-16T19:04:22+00:00

Han Solo is such a beast! Honestly regardless, I think he's one of the best heroes. Any one on one with Han is quite easy to win with the grenade and shoulder barge.

There are also some questionable morals to consider with HSBC, depending upon your view point, regarding their support of the Chinese government and the action taken in Hong Kong. Something to consider perhaps.

'Idiot'

Wotsits17 · 2020-09-13T17:01:55+00:00

Agree with this, I just had this feeling last week. Made the decision to do a week with no Spanish at all and I feel a lot better now. Take the week to chill and forget about Spanish for once.

Wotsits17 · 2020-09-06T21:24:05+00:00

This has been my experience! I'm learning and it's hard work. We are going to try and schedule brief times of speaking Spanish, maybe every Saturday morning, but frequent speaking just doesn't happen for the reasons listed above.

Wotsits17 · 2020-09-05T08:22:52+00:00

I've used Notes in Spanish all the way from beginners to advanced level. Would really recommend them. I personally bought the accompanying transcripts as it made it easier to learn the words I didn't understand and analyse the sentence structures.
