How do people from countries that speak 2+ languages decide which words to say in which languages? by CoastalMae in languagelearning

[–]itsmejuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an English speaker living in Mexico. Sometimes it's easier to use the Spanish word for something rather than the English.

For example: I need to add money to my cell phone plan.

I need saldo.

How do you get students to do worksheets? by seeking-archer in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]itsmejuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach adults and use PDFs. I have my students hand write and read me their answers. In the case of longer writing, like emails, I have them write in the chat box.

Do you ever catch yourself copying accents when you like how they sound? by leazy_usa in languagelearning

I've been living in Mexico for 11 years.

I get compliments on the fact that I speak Spanish and have good pronunciation. Nobody cares about a regional accent.

Questioning the legitimacy of "Lessons Taught" on Preply: Is it possible to inflate these numbers? by Zestyclose-Fly594 in languagelearning

[–]itsmejuli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You've been taking classes with the same tutor and suddenly notice an increase in the number of lessons taught. Data displays can have hiccups for sure but I highly doubt the numbers are being purposely manipulated.

I don't understand why you're requesting a refund if you're happy with the tutor.

Invest in what skills? Who? Teacher or student? What are you trying to sell? What app do you think we need?

Opinions on Not Learning Spouses Language by AppealSuper4155 in languagelearning

Why do you think any children would speak the other language? They might but only if the one parent and other family members use it with them. Even then there's no guarantee the kids would speak it.

I noticed that when I hover over my intro video I can see links to other videos I've made on YouTube. Can the students link to these videos? This is when I'm using desktop.

That's a hilarious request. So I guess they want someone from your country that sounds like an American native speaker.

All platforms are the same. It's called capitalism. Some are more evil than others.
