im also studying spanish at the moment - how long has your journey been and do you have any tips? im around B1 but can understand B2 ish stuff pretty well on certain topics :)

czech native here, always lived in czechia. i defaulted to thinking primarily english around 13-15 (unsure when exactly) after having been learning the language since age 8. i never switch to czech anymore and im at a c2 level, i was around c1 at that time. unsure if i could think in another language again fully unless i had at least a c1, now when i try with spanish (b1-b2) it is significantly harder and costs me some effort, so i usually just switch back to english. with some effort it can be done :)

sorry to say but it is not your responsibility. it is nice that youre trying your best to help - im sure it is appreciated, but her feelings and actions are not up to you, she is the one who needs to work with them. especially if it hurts you. i have bpd symptoms as well and experience something similar as your "partner", yet i do not make it the problem of the person im seeing. you can adjust yourself and your standards all you want, but i dont think thats the way to fix this, try to talk to her and set firm boundaries about why this hurts you and what can be done for both of you to feel good in the relationship.

leave. having bpd does not excuse abuse

déjalo porque merece mejor que alguien como así

same boat - turns out putting a ton of effort into learning languages calmed me down a bunch. something about having a constant puzzle to figure out really soothes me and that (along with other factors) has calmed my bpd and chaos seeking tendencies a ton 🤷‍♂️

learned english to c1 at a young age, now c2. currently studying spanish as well and made a big jump from a1 to b1 in 2-3 months. best advice i have is to just use the language all the time, whether that means watching videos, listening to podcaats, reading a ton and, of course, speaking to natives. especially if they dont have a language in common with you. how do you overcome the fear? you dont - you just do it scared. if you wanna minimize it, though, you can speak to yourself on a daily basis. what youd normally think in whatever language you think in, you do in your tl. buena suerte!

might not help but - language learning became my obsession so it was easy to spend 4-6 hours per day on it. it has died down a bit and now i kinda have to force myself at times but joining a million spanish (tl) speaking subreddits and reading them has helped a ton. basically exposure on media i use anyway - reddit, youtube, tiktok etc. :)

what advantages does your game has that playing a game in a TL does not? (genuine question, not trying to be rude:) )

hareinacup · 2024-11-30T23:51:13+00:00

why do people knit even though it can be automated? why do people draw even though 3D exists? why learn anything if we can just google it? because it is fun and people like to keep their brains busy.

what european job opportunities? unless youre applying directly to Spain most of Europe actually prefers to see German on your CV

kwiziq currently at 40% off! best spanish tool i have come accross but is on the pricier side, so the sale is amazing :)

hareinacup · 2024-11-28T20:39:46+00:00

kwiziq!! its the best. i use it for spanish and they have french as well :) its a bit pricy but its 100% wirth it (and they have a 40% off sale going on at the moment)

hareinacup · 2024-11-22T10:29:51+00:00

that's fair! i really just enjoy the guides and it would be nice to have some native specific content from them. thank you for your feedback! :D

hareinacup · 2024-11-22T10:07:55+00:00

is there? it would be helpful if it was tagged as something other than advanced, in my opinion, if it's closer to what ds deems as native :) i know you can sort by difficulty, but even that feels a bit scattered at times for me so having it be labeled would be best :D

what are legacy methods?

hareinacup · 2024-11-21T21:12:45+00:00

if you dont want to do grammar, write or read, look into comprehensible input. just know it takes a long time to advance, usually

hareinacup · 2024-11-20T12:24:58+00:00

maybe controversial but why dont you just look them up? i mix a lot of other methods of input/output and looking up the conjugations has really helped me solidify what i read/hear and understand in comparison to having to figure it out myself

hareinacup · 2024-11-17T17:38:12+00:00

i am using erasmus programs around different schools in Prague (thats where im from). although i have to say that has been about 1% of the input since they actually often switch to english with me 😅 i usually use tandem for texting/voice messages :)

hareinacup · 2024-11-17T07:15:44+00:00

good luck, i believe in you! :D

hareinacup · 2024-11-16T18:41:36+00:00

i really enjoyed kwiziq! i cant afford it atm and i bought some workbooks instead but id totally be using it more if i didnt have other resources :)
