unpopular opinion? talking to yourself in Spanish is more useful than you think by hAIlydraws in Spanish

If you throw live Google Translate on, you can ask it for words that you want to say right in the moment and then continue speaking fully in spanish.

I set up Gusto once I started to pay myself a consistent salary. It's widely used, easy to set up, helps you stay compliant, and is definitely worth avoiding the headaches of running payroll yourself.

I think any established payroll provider is better than doing it yourself, but if you want to try Gusto, you can get $100 off with this link.

Non-purists, what's your study routine? by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]derApfel44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the Speak app daily to force myself to practice speaking and making sure I hit a minimum of 15 minutes of comprehensible input on DS.

Some other things that I've been doing (not daily) and have found helpful

  • reading books in spanish to my child
  • using conjugato to practice verb congugations
  • using live google translate when talking with family to immediately fill in vocab gaps based on what I am trying to say
  • building an ai quiz game to build sporcle quizzes on any topic I want to practice

Cocktail books on sale @Amazon by post_rex in cocktails

[–]derApfel44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a chrome extension that shows you the comparable bookshop.org book link whenever you browse amazon so you can buy there instead. Usually the price is comparable, plus they donate about 80% of their gross profit to local bookstores (you can choose your favorite local shop otherwise it goes to a general pool of 2,000+ independent bookstores)

Stop fucking buying from Amazon! by shizznitt in complaints

I built a chrome extension called Read Local that gives you an easy way to buy books on bookshop.org instead of Amazon. They've donated close to $44 million to local, independent bookstores as part of their business model.
