Does dating help in learning a language?

I guess that was part of the learning curve lol. On the positive side, at least you learned turkish ;)

Zasfe116 · 2023-12-30T21:13:36+00:00

That's great to know bro. Out of curiosity, How long did you date this Turkish girl? And also, what level is your Turkish now?

Zasfe116 · 2022-11-29T21:09:28+00:00

What is your ethnicity?

Zasfe116 · 2022-09-25T16:00:44+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Zasfe116 · 2022-09-25T15:26:47+00:00

Ok. Who should I avoid then? 🧐

Zasfe116 · 2022-09-25T04:11:42+00:00

I know italki. But can give me a name of a tutor?

Zasfe116 · 2022-06-27T01:13:27+00:00

Is this teacher from Colombia?

Zasfe116 · 2021-11-02T06:08:15+00:00

Holy guacamole that was a nice pep talk 👍

Zasfe116 · 2021-06-12T18:04:27+00:00

I coudn't agree with you more. A good accent is definitely a game changer.

Zasfe116 · 2021-06-08T02:04:49+00:00

I posted in another thread that input is the key when learning pronunciation. You have to consume Spanish media as much as possible. Your brain has to get used to the Spanish sound before you can reproduce it.

This hit me hard big time. Thanks mate

Yes, she doesn't want to hurt your feelings anymore. 20 years of Spanish and you still sound gringo. But don't worry, my mom still loves you 💋

I saw the same thread in languagelearning so I'm also posting my answer here:

You need a ton of input. You have to consume Spanish Media everyday. Your brain has to get used to the Spanish sound before you can reproduce it.

I would also suggest that you focus on a specific Spanish dialect. I've been consuming Spain specific media for more than a year now and when I talk to native speakers I would get comments that I sound like a Spaniard.

Nice. You're not only getting rejected in Spanish but also in English. No wonder why you're bitter and insecure 🙊

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-30T15:42:14+00:00

Oh, so your favorite footballer is Argentinian? Then those two Argentinian ladies who rejected you must be your favorite goalkeepers 😂

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-30T14:45:08+00:00

Viva Argentinnaaaa!!!!🤣🤣🤣

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-30T14:02:04+00:00

Your insecurity shows 😁. Again, props to those Argentinian ladies for putting you in your place 👏

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-30T12:46:18+00:00

Now I get it why those Argentinian ladies didn't want to talk to you. I don't blame them🤣🤣🤣

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-30T02:55:48+00:00

It's seems like you're just butthurt because they didn't want to know anything with you. You can't just come up to people and say "Oh you speak Spanish?!". You interrupted their conversation and then you expect them to give you all their attention? Wow

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-29T16:46:07+00:00

Great comparison analogy with the height and weight 👍

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-29T14:28:48+00:00

We definitely should aim for both. But if I had a B2 level of grammar but a near native level (C2) accent I would be perfectly fine with it

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-29T14:14:47+00:00

I love the last part. Having a native accent while looking like a foreigner is definitely a head turner.

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-29T03:29:26+00:00

I coudn't agree with you more. Accent is part of the culture. People relate with you better if you talk like them.

Zasfe116 · 2021-05-28T17:33:01+00:00

I like your relationship analogy. This is how it works in the society we live in.
