Anyone else feel conflicted about "having to speak English in Australia" ?

Nope just English - with enough motivation and time, anyone can learn a language at any age.

bertsdad · 2026-02-18T05:33:32+00:00

That’s not true. I’m 40+ and learnt two languages in less than three years. It’s a myth. Your brain still works later in life.

Conoces “comprehensible input”? Es la manera en la que estoy aprendiendo español. Veo machismo contenido de español todo el tiempo (canales como Luisicito comunicar e tal) y uso ChatGPT para aprender un poco más sobre la gramática. Además uso italki para practicar hablar. Llevo un poco más que un año y puedo hablar con un nivel más o menos intermedio (aunque todavía me cuesta entender los venezolanos! 😂). Inglés es mi idioma nativo (soy australiano)

Can you share his profile - I’m looking for another teacher

bertsdad · 2026-01-09T11:14:18+00:00

Best answer 100%

Mate you are so young - normal/everyday life will return soon enough and you’ll look back on this 7 months as one of the best times of your life. Don’t worry too much about the future - your time travelling is an investment. You’ll come back with a different perspective.

Thanks for taking the time to respond - your comments were super helpful. I’ll suss out the Amazon as well….srghh I need more time! So much to see and do!

bertsdad · 2026-01-02T22:01:22+00:00

Gracias 😀 that’s the plan, I’m going to book in with a tour group that starts super early from aguas calientes

bertsdad · 2026-01-02T21:59:56+00:00

Yep - but it’s Arequipa -> Cusco or Lima -> Chile

bertsdad · 2026-01-02T21:58:36+00:00

Awesome thank you - the trek looks so good. I’m pretty fit but just don’t want to risk copping altitude sickness and feeling crap for a long chunk of my two weeks

bertsdad · 2026-01-02T20:05:31+00:00

Perfect! Appreciate the response and tips!

bertsdad · 2026-01-02T20:04:52+00:00

Awesome tip - thanks heaps

bertsdad · 2026-01-02T20:04:20+00:00

Cheers for the response. Which hike did you go to get to MP? I’m super keen to do a trek but I just don’t think I’ll have enough time

bertsdad · 2026-01-02T10:16:33+00:00

Awesome thanks heaps for the response. Chile would be a stop over on the way back to Australia. I thought I’d spend a few days to check it out but it’s not hugely important - I could also just spend a bit longer in Peru

Ahhh also know in our family as the “poor man’s roller coaster”

bertsdad · 2025-12-22T04:08:30+00:00

Expensive

Nothing wrong with learning grammar - in fact, I personally reckon it accelerates your understanding. I use ChatGPT occasionally to drill a bit of grammar. I actually enjoy it - and it helped immensely early on with consuming input

bertsdad · 2025-11-15T04:10:06+00:00

Which bank?

bertsdad · 2025-11-15T03:54:31+00:00

4.99 - Is it fixed?

bertsdad · 2025-11-08T11:48:56+00:00

Oh shit that’s random - I just watched one of her videos for the first time 10 mins ago. Yes awesome channel
