Thanks for the response! I mentioned in another comment that I am looking into buying Spanish language versions of Marquez books but this is generally something I am saving for B2/near C1 fluency level. I originally was going to turn subtitles off for the Mexican scenes in Breaking Bad but all learning Spanish has done is make me realise just how bad Giancarlo Esposito is at speaking it lol. I’ve read some children level stories in Spanish and have generally found this easy to follow along with so I am going to be moving on from this and look for more challenging material.

Yeah, this sounds a lot better. Am excited to give it a go. Funnily enough I have also recently started practicing medical terms/speaking to a doctor in Spanish lol.

Whoa, this looks like a good one. Will definitely be checking this out. Thank you.

This is an idea I’ve played around with although I haven’t used this particular app. I used ChatGPT as well as a bot called HyperGlot on Character.AI but I will have to check this one out too since it seems specifically focused on language learning. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah this is another thing I am doing that I failed to mention in my original post. I have been listening to a lot of reggaeton and Spanish language music since like January which has helped and am also reading some stuff, next month I am planning on getting a Spanish language copy of “One Thousand Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez which is one of my favourite novels.

Most of the nouns I’ve learned have come from interacting with Spanish media rather than note copying. I mostly used Duolingo and flashcards to teach me the grammar.

Whoa was not expecting this many responses lol. Will try to respond as much as I can but thank you to everyone who has offered suggestions.

Yes this is exactly what I am looking for, thank you. We used Quizlet in high school and I still use it occasionally and have an account there. As for Quora… yeah, I’ve used Quora Spanish in the past and the content is questionable to say the least. The rest I have not used before and will look into them.

A lot of people say this but I found it useful as a beginner tool personally, I have ADHD and Duolingo was simply what I found to be the best entry tool for this reason due to its game element. The app basically being freemium at this point is a big problem I have with it but I don’t think I would have been able to get into the habit of practicing without it. That said it has fulfilled its purpose for me and I don’t use it that much anymore.

I’m amazed how anyone can still think America are the good guys. They never were, but they’ve become full on mask off this past year.

As others have pointed out drug criminalisation and the war on drugs has been used to persecute minority groups. However I also just don’t think that making them illegal does anything to stop people from using them. This has already historically been proven back in the 1920s when prohibition was a thing. It just meant that people began drinking alcohol illegally. Alcohol related deaths actually went up during prohibition specifically because it wasn’t being regulated.

Didn’t mean to post this twice lol

There’s another image of him where you can clearly see the wound and yeah it’s literally just grazed his ear. Unfortunate but it is probably not going to kill him.

wow we swapped one poor-hating queerphobic zionist for another I feel so much better now

Good, I hope he gets nightmares for the rest of his miserable life

The lesson we’ve taught Putin is that we’re a bunch of total f**king jokers
