languagelearning

Hello! I've recently picked up learning Spanish because I work with a ton of dudes from Mexico. How much can I reasonably expect to learn from this app? I looked at their "curriculum" and it seems pretty short compared to what I think I'll need. What are some resources beyond "talk to your coworkers", that will put me on the right track?

I almost feel like English should start from scratch with spelling, There are basically no consistent rules at all. I think we should assign spelling to kindergartners who actually follow the rules of English and spell things like they should be spelled.

Quinoa -> Keen-wa

Ballet -> Baal-Eh

Design -> De-zine

etc.

If you know of any, please post them here!

Really makes me feel immersed in the Japanese language. This is a common problem with Duolingo- no matter what language you study, the material just feels American

And before you ask, no, I did not pay for the subscription, they randomly gave me three free days of Plus, or Super, or whatever it is. Imagine paying for Duolingo

I know you can't learn a language in three weeks, but let's see how I fail.

How much can I learn before my granny from Ethiopia visits?

I'm unemployed so I have time to study and I'm pretty motivated. You can often get from 0 to A1 level in a language within 100 hours of study.

I should be able to learn the writing system (it's a hard one), more than 100 words, and some amount of grammar.

Is there any good way to find like an online class or something that could recreate that experience? I do not want to try to self-teach a language, that sounds awful lol

"Emosido engañado" is a vulgar/comical contraction of "Hemos sido engañados" ("We have been fooled/cheated/duped")
