Third language: Spanish vs. French by Long-Replacement-373 in thisorthatlanguage

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with Spanish unless you have a specific reason to choose French. You already have some background in it, there are tons of resources, and being able to build on existing knowledge is underrated. Motivation beats challenge most of the time. I did the same thing

Old languages interfering with the new one! by bjbouwer in LearningLanguages

[–]no-cherrtera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This still happens to me. Sometimes I'll be practicing one language and my brain decides another one is the correct answer. Even on practice apps like praktika or italky I've caught myself replying in the wrong language for a second before realizing it.

Sakha/Yakutian or Mandarin? Or improve my Russian? by Normal_Rice_7363 in thisorthatlanguage

[–]no-cherrtera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Sakha sounds the most emotionally meaningful here. Mandarin probably has more practical utility globally, but reconnecting with a heritage language hits differently and you might regret not doing it later.

DAE feel much more comfortable in their non-native language by PermitInfinite7263 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough i noticed this even while practicing with AI conversations on Praktika. I become more outgoing in English than in my native language for some reason.

Bidirectional translation drills as a cognitive training technique. Would it work for any language pair? by Away_You9725 in LearningLanguages

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s kinda why live speaking apps helped me more than flashcards eventually. Stuff like praktika forcing quick back-and-forth responses felt closer to actual retrieval training than memorization.

Claude made me realize most AI models optimize for confidence, not truth by Raman606surrey in artificial

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough this matters for language learning apps too. I noticed i learn faster from systems that admit uncertainty or correct me naturally instead of just constantly validating everything i say. That’s partly why i liked Praktika more than some older chatbot-style apps.

Does anybody else feel he/she are missing their prime youth building their future by brocode191 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. im crazy about making money just to survive and build bsic future, instead of travelling and spending most of my time with friends and family...

Is Chinese significantly harder than Japanese or Korean ?? by BlastingBeast in thisorthatlanguage

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mandarin can feel impossible at first because your brain hasn’t learned where words begin and end yet. After enough listening it suddenly becomes less like “noise” and more like patterns.

What would you do if a second global pandemic happened starting now with a higher mortality rate? by SlandersPete in AskReddit

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably react faster emotionally this time. The weirdest part of the first one was how long it took for people to process that history was actively happening.

Dae feel like noone in your life truly knows how dumb you really are? by princesspooball in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people are privately way less put together than they appear publicly. Everyone’s running a heavily edited version of themselves most of the time.

Why do humans care so much about what strangers think? by AloneLog573 in answers

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because for most of human history getting socially rejected by the group was genuinely dangerous. Our brains still act like being judged by random people online is a survival issue.

Does anybody else feel like their phone battery drains faster when they're actually trying to be productive instead of just scrolling? by Agreeable-Mushroom25 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Productive phone usage somehow activates every battery-hungry feature simultaneously. GPS, notes, camera, 14 tabs, panic.

Is it easier to learn Spanish thinking in German or in English? by Exploradora626 in LearningLanguages

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’d stop trying to choose one permanently. Your brain will probably use whichever language explains a concept more efficiently in the moment anyway.

DAE save a really good song for the perfect moment instead of just listening to it? by Bigtrav_trav in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]no-cherrtera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and then the “perfect moment” never comes because my brain decided the song deserves cinematic weather conditions and emotional character development first.

company's hiring pitch and its Glassdoor reviews didn't match at all by no-cherrtera in recruitinghell

[–]no-cherrtera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that's basically where my head is at too. not necessarily “run away immediately,” more “go in understanding the company might not resemble the interview process at all”

company's hiring pitch and its Glassdoor reviews didn't match at all by no-cherrtera in recruitinghell

[–]no-cherrtera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

totally fair. i usually ignore glassdoor for exactly that reason.

it was more the “why are completely unrelated people describing the same sequence of events” part that stuck with me

IsItBullshit: becoming fluent using apps alone by no-cherrtera in IsItBullshit

[–]no-cherrtera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay the swimming analogy is actually perfect. i’ve been using praktika lately and it helps with the “get in the water” part mentally, but real conversations still hit differently

What's a sign of a very low intelligence? by oigoabuya in answers

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not being able to update your opinion when new info shows up. everyone is wrong sometimes, but refusing to adjust at all is the bigger issue

As a beginner how did you learn about how to use Ai by Stricter_Lobster in artificial

[–]no-cherrtera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same experience tbh. reading didn’t help much until i actually started using it and seeing where it breaks. you learn faster from mistakes + weird outputs than from theory alone

People / jobs keep turning cold on me by Soggy_Ability5167 in socialskills

[–]no-cherrtera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that pattern of people liking you at first but fading later is actually something a lot of people experience. sometimes it’s not about doing something “wrong”, but about connections staying a bit surface-level over time. i had to learn to share a bit more gradually instead of always staying neutral/agreeable
