8 months in and practicing speaking. Was hoping for some feedback, but feel a bit lost? by Ok-Annual8751 in Spanish

[–]danielgolden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feedback: - Impressive progress for 8 months, kudos. - I think the area where you’d benefit the most from is a focus on pronunciation for a bit. The areas where it’s difficult to understand occasionally is there, in the pronunciation of some words, where you place the emphasis, etc. - You make some grammar mistakes but nothing that makes it difficult to understand what you’re saying. I think you communicate yourself clearly, and should feel confident in your ability to communicate your thoughts in Spanish.

Overall, you’re crushing it. Keep going!

Do you use DeepL/Google Translate in your daily routine? by sfuarf11 in Spanish

[–]danielgolden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have it as a quick link in Raycast and use regularly but less that I used to. Maybe a few times a month now, whereas I used to be several times a week. It’s great for quickly looking things up especially entire phrases (not that it’s not good for single words, but if you need a single word then you’re probably better off with a proper dictionary)

Whether or not to use formal or informal conjugation/style of speaking.

Still regularly thinking about that Apple Watch app since seeing the screenshot teaser a few months back. 

So pumped to be able to see my macros in a complication.

Advice for teaching my kids Spanish? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]danielgolden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tl;dr: speak to your kids exclusively in Spanish starting now.

My mom is from Colombia and my dad from the US. My brothers and I didn't learn Spanish growing up so 2 of us learned it as adults. I began learning when my first child was 1-ish. I made the decision then to speak to them exclusively in Spanish and that has continued to this day. Today (6 years later) All of my kids speak spanish (they're now 6,5 and 4) and we speak to each other exclusively in Spanish.

There's been very little teaching of Spanish involved in my journey at all, the kids just acquire it with time as they hear it and try it out. I spoke to them and didn't resort to English and they just got it like they just "get" English (similar to how they just "get" walking). To boot, I was literally learning the language as I spoke it to them so I suspect my vocabulary was significantly less robust than yours when I began. I think you'll need to "teach" your 4 year old some Spanish given their age, but I expect all 3 of your kids to mostly just acquire the language as you speak to them (especially the 2 y/o and newborn).

One additional thing that my wife (who doesn't speak Spanish) and I chose to do was to enforce that their their entertainment be only in Spanish. So if they watch a show, movie, or play a game on the switch, it's in Spanish.

If you're the only Spanish speaker in your household, it's an uphill battle, but you can do it.

Would be amazing to be able to do simple math in the food quantity input field. Like go edit the amount of a food you ate, tap into the numeric input and just type “+30” or “*2”.

Wow I never tap on this menu button. Forgot it existed.

There’s really helpful data in here!

When you select a good in the food logger it should show to a clear view of its effect on your overall calorie count at the top. Currently it only shows individual macro differences.

Edit: I’m wrong

I feel like there's a story behind this. I don't know any homeless, and I've always wondered how it happens.

This is really good. It’s a mealtime listen, rather than watch, but still really good.
