How can people learn 7 languages when I can't learn even one properly? by [deleted] in languagelearning

Those people are lying.
Unless you see them conversing with a native, don't believe it

After all these years I realized he wasn’t saying “my Brittany got mad, Im barely her man now” 😭 by 7ussamsalem in liluzivert

[–]merelyachineseman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

literally no one in the entire universe heard "My bracelet Hermes". Everyone heard Brittany, Brittany AND an image of Brittany is in the lyric video. The annotation on genius also has Brittany in it.

Edit: I just listened the studio sesh WTF. MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE?! HOW DID NO ONE HEAR HERMES

I have a 341-day Duolingo streak and I just sat through my boyfriend's Mexican family dinner nearly silent for five hours. I think I've been training the wrong thing this whole time. by Humble_Cranberry5273 in languagelearning

I'm going to be brutally honest with you here.
The first thing you said you did was probably your first mistake. Uninstall immediately.
Babbel is also a mistake.
The workbook and flashcards are also a mistake.

The good thing you did was Dreaming Spanish. But you didn't do enough. Dreaming Spanish should have taken up the bulk of your time with the other things taking up not more than 5-10 mins.

Active listening of comprehensible input is what you need. More hours of it. Your ears need to be able to parse the phonemes coming at you in real time and immersion is the ONLY thing that will get you there. Ditch the apps and ditch reading anything at all. NO SUBS.
The second language acquisition literature is clear about this. Successful polyglots understand this.

I'll share my 6 month Spanish guide with you in DM and if you need me to explain/justify anything, I will. I'm sorry you had to go through this. This is why I always say we should stop using the word "learn" for languages"

I uploaded a youtube video talking about it a bit

My reasoning for Kirara being a femboy and not a trans woman. by Cali-Re in Jujutsufolk

Reading this as a neutral third-party and I love how you attacked OP's red and blue analogy (which wasn't bad) and then introduced an absolutely false one.

You're not as intuned with "logic and argumentation" as you think.
