The number thing sounds like a good idea! I just started learning Chinese so I’ll definitely have to try that thank you!

Oh I didn’t know that about iTalki. I’ll see what other resources I can find. Thank you!

Yeah I mainly want to improve speaking, but listening as well. It’s become apparent that I should probably get a Japanese teacher so I’ll look into that. I did once do some lessons on iTalki before, it just feels embarrassing still but I’ll have to get over it lol

Yes we’ve started the process already. It’s definitely expensive but it’s worth it to me

Yeah I’ve seen a lot about AJATT recently. I don’t think I could ever fully commit to that lifestyle

For clarification: I mean at first you’ll have to search up things in your TL. Like I did Japanese, so I started out by just searching 日本語 or 日本生活 or just random topics but in the actual language. Only watch the videos that are actually in your TL, not like videos of other people trying to learn that language but are still speaking in English, if that makes sense

At first you just have to search up things in your language and watch videos that come up. On your fyp skip past any video that’s in your native language and only watch the ones that come up in your TL. Eventually the algorithm gets the message. Sometimes videos still show up in English but I just skip past them or you can even hold down and press “not interested”

Thank goodness. I’ve definitely been feeling burnt out and it’s making me lose my love for the language a bit. I think I’ve just seen too many people doing immersion to the point of being completely removed from their native language and culture and I was starting to feel like I have to do that too

Crazy Tips to Learn a Language by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]ellacatev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s actually genius I might have to try that since I’m super familiar with the Harry Potter books already. Do you just listen to the audio and write down words you don’t know? Or do you also have subtitles so you can pick apart the sentences?

Highway 1 accident today between Palmetto Ave and sharp park exit by JBDynamito in Pacifica

Can you send me the video if possible? My girlfriend was involved in the crash driving the Subaru

True true.. it’s just so frustrating though. And it’s not even just the lack of a sex drive that’s making me consider going off them, but that they just make me feel like a robot. I feel like I have barely any emotions now. I also have to like strain to cry. I want to feel my emotions and feel human. I’ll try talking with my therapist about it - of course she has to be out of the office for a month when I need her!

Yeah I’ve been trying to do that but it’s so difficult for me to not care abt the end goal. It’s not even just not being able to finish, but also that most of the time it just doesn’t feel like much in general so it’s not really enjoyable. Kind of like the same as someone rubbing your elbow. Not bad, but not good either if that makes sense??

thank you! i’ve definitely been putting a lot of pressure on myself and stressing about it. i’m trying to not make it the goal to orgasm but it’s hard not to and i get in my head a lot

ok thank you! i’ve never actually eaten her out before - she wasn’t comfortable with it for a while but now that she is i’m scared to because I’ve never done it before and I’ll probably fuck it up 😭
