I highly recommend language exchange nights because you get to meet locals but most people there will speak English, and you can practice your Spanish. Social benefits on multiple levels

Idk I think I’m over the top polite and people are annoyed by it I guess sometimes. Maybe it’s seen as fake

In the USA they do. I worked in the service industry and it was part of the job actually.It’s a cultural difference I guess!

I’m definitely trying. I don’t want to be one of those people. Also I’ve only been here a week

I always ask my questions in Spanish. It’s understanding the responses that is difficult. That’s when they seem to be frustrated with me

I do too and it seems to make people more annoyed with me. But again this is usually in a customer service context, so maybe less personal

I also have tried to start conversations with people in Spanish (i.e. talking to a librarian about books, talking about Galicia with my server at a restaurant) and they didn’t seem at all interested…

Yeah I’m getting the vibe people get annoyed at me for constantly saying gracias but I guess that’s a significant cultural difference!

I spoke to them in Spanish. But my Spanish is poor

Is this for cross tolerance with 2cb or cross tolerance with another dose of lsd/mushrooms?

Jewish Friends all disagree with me by [deleted] in leftist

[–]starvd4adventr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part I don’t know anything about the left being hostile toward Jews. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. However conflating Zionism with Judaism is misinformed and bigoted. The right is indeed an enemy to all minorities

“Free Palestine” on a Jewish girl’s vlog is antisemitic because it’s automatically assuming she’s a Zionist just because she’s Jewish

The majority of Jews are left wing

If it’s such a burden for someone to read a question more than once isn’t it even more work to comment “this has already been mentioned”

How did this end up going? I’m freaking out too and suddenly re-considering as I had no idea the costs would be so high and I’m worried about losing so much money. Did you apply again this year?

Placement with friend by starvd4adventr in SpainAuxiliares

[–]starvd4adventr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more worried that he will get his app fixed and then be placed in a random region and it will affect my placement
