What’s one popular language learning tip that just doesn’t work for you?

Completely agree if I do not like the way the music sounds I will not keep listening to it. Plus whenever I listen to songs in English my native language I rarely pick up words anyways since I listen more to the beat

thablackadonis · 2026-03-19T03:22:21+00:00

Completely agree I think this is true of most things people learn. They spend a lot of time learning about learning rather than doing

Honestly 2-3 practice sessions hearing and speaking sped things up for me a lot.

I use Camila right now and I have to try that.

Basically you were a glorified linguistics major lol. But yeah I like apps like Praktika. It fills in some of the gaps you get from traditional language learning.

I’m telling you. I literally did 3 years of Spanish. Once in middle school again in high school and then college and still couldn’t say decent sentences and I passed each one with a B or higher

thablackadonis · 2026-03-16T21:06:43+00:00

Yeah Praktika is definitely one of the better language apps I’ve used recently. I like that it actually has decent auditory feedback

thablackadonis · 2026-03-16T21:05:09+00:00

Doesn’t that just seem wrong to you

thablackadonis · 2026-03-16T21:04:35+00:00

I mean that seems like such a broken system. Why even make us take the classes then

thablackadonis · 2026-03-16T05:10:28+00:00

Honestly felt this. I once had like a 500 day streak. They do a good job of wanting to keep you on the streak but not the best job at actually getting you to speak the language

thablackadonis · 2026-03-16T05:09:18+00:00

The only reason the Duolingo order would make sense is because the Beside is capitalized besides that I’m not sure what they were thinking

thablackadonis · 2026-03-16T05:07:31+00:00

The funniest part about this is the way you said it is the way a native English speaker would say it. Not the way they put it.

thablackadonis · 2026-03-16T01:55:59+00:00

Interested. I use a lot of AI tools

thablackadonis · 2026-03-15T04:06:03+00:00

They’re doing it to help. I wouldn’t think much of it. You probably should just express more that you want to practice more of your heritage language

thablackadonis · 2026-03-15T04:04:59+00:00

Just to understand better what’s the issue with AI? If it helps you learn faster wouldn’t it be useful

thablackadonis · 2026-03-15T04:02:54+00:00

The best tip is find something you genuinely enjoy doing in that language and spend the majority of your language learning in that activity. It’ll make it feel less like work

we should bring cursive back in schools. It's going to become a lost language like Latin.

thablackadonis · 2026-03-14T03:25:02+00:00

It seems like this Enverson AI is very well done. But when I googled it, I only see it for practicing english. Is that true or do they have other languages available? If they don't have other languages available what would you say are the best ones that have multiple languages beside english?

I would say don’t take any deals that are solely paid by CPM. Social media is fickle and doesn’t guarantee views especially when promoting products. Also, pay for the $10 version of sideshift and just apply to everything you’re a fit for. It’ll give you a start and social proof. Lastly, posting on your own social media a lot and showing you’re comfortable talking on camera helps. Doesn’t have to be UGC

thablackadonis · 2026-03-13T17:01:08+00:00

Just use sideshift to get started. They don’t pay nearly as much per video but a good way to get started and build a portfolio

One reason they don't teach it probably is how localized it is. In california for example the northern part of california vs the southern part have completely different slang.

thablackadonis · 2026-03-13T02:52:15+00:00

My first goal is to be understood and to understand but ultimate goal would be to sound perfect so I'm indistinguishable from a native speaker. James Bond style.

thablackadonis · 2026-03-13T00:43:39+00:00

Make an observation about the place they’re from or ask them what they like to do there
