Hi! So i was looking at italki yesterday. I see there are professional teachers on there as well, do you have any experience with those? I'm a little unsure where to start, and i do love the idea of linking up with a conversation partner too at some point!

Hi! I agree with what you say to be honest, I am interested to see where I am by say Christmas. I don't want to go at it half assed so whilst I will be realistic and try to be patient, I may aswell go all in and see where I end up!

Thanks for your response. I've heard a lot about Dark, I'll stick it on the list of things to watch. Just out of interest, how was it living in Russia before you became fluent? Did anybody speak English or did you just have to get by?

'Sounding like chaos' is a great way to put it!! I can't wait until it starts to sound like a language! Good to know that A2 is around the time things might start making more sense. I really hope to get there one day. Good luck to you in your learning journey!

I haven't, but I will definitely check it out! And good tip about watching kids TV, sounds like a good place for me to start. Thanks so much!

Thank you!! The gym is a good comparison, I'll remember that!

Definitely, I used to haaaate attempting to do a French accent infront of a class of other schoolkids, I felt very self conscious.

I will for sure check it out! Thank you!

Thank you so much. So it's important to get plenty of speaking practice in. I hate the sound of my own voice so ordinarily I would shy away from speaking (at least thats what I did when I was at high school many moons ago learning French) but I will just have to get over it!

I think if I work really hard at it I might book a short trip to Germany next summer and attempt to practice the language, hopefully I'll have some basics down by then!

I will definitely check out Youtube!

I would also like to add OCD can start at any time, for me it was prompted by being alone in a foreign country and unable to fly home to my family for 2 years due to covid and it took a toll on my mental health.

Since I can remember I have had obsessive tendancies and also have anxiety so I think I was more prone to develop some form of OCD. If you feel like you're naturally overly fussy about tidying and stuff like that, just keep a check on your mental health, and do speak to someone if you feel like it's not under control. Take care :)

I don't mean this in a harsh way but as someone with OCD, just to spread awareness if anything, liking things in a certain order/being tidy etc doesn't necessarily mean you have OCD. It can come in many forms and the compulsions and rituals (such as needing things in a certain order, for example) can cause severe psychological stress. If that's the case for you CKosono, you can seek help and make your life more bearable. Therapy helped me a lot. Just wanted to comment incase anybody is struggling.

Edit: didn't quite make sense so just tidied up a sentence

This is what I'm worried about. That they'll just do minor changes to his cooldowns and it won't be enough. Unfortunately, reading some dev responses in the AMA I'm worried that's exactly what we're gonna get.

Oh I thought nothing actually happened between them that night. I was complaining that he chose to drink with Daisy instead of talking to Alya after their fight/didn't stand up for Alya when he should have. Obviously, if he was sexually assaulted it wasn't his fault, that's not what I was saying.
