Que este hombre diga que algunas feministas usan a las mujeres para hacer política es realmente satírico, considerando su discurso y el elenco de mujeres de adorno de detrás.

Por lo que yo conozco, la mayoría de personas rockeras y metaleras luego son super blanditas. Feliz cumple para Pablo!

I've heard many swear by Dreaming Spanish for comprehensive input. I recommend Lingolia and ProfedeEle for grammar, and finding language exchange events. Finding a tandem buddy is what I see helps students to boost their speaking most. Good luck, and feel free to ask if you have any questions!

*Specially productive skills (speaking and writing) and grammar. It feels very commonplace across my duolingo students to struggle to produce and understand some grammatical structures, which are very useful sometimes, like scaffolding.

Hmmm in my experience, on its own, duolingo is great for engagement/ maintenance, but not so much for practical use* and doesn’t tend to develop significant, holistic progress, so combining with other methods is advised!

Eh well done!

Someone in langsky recommended having a diary, and I tried it and swear by it. When learning Malay, I'd write the date in words, to practise days, numbers, etc. and then just mention a few things like weather, mood and food. I have a blog post with vocab to do this if interested

Mi sueño es una bañera de gatitos mimosos y ronroneantes. En plan American Beauty pero vestida y con gatitos.

No te conozco pero algo me dice que no lo eres. Además de que he conocido a profes de los malos y ya solo desde el cuestionamiento, no me cuadras en ese perfil

¡Todo bien!

Here's some reassurance 🫶

Seconding this! You have to DIY your feed, which takes time but you eventually connect - different from usual algorithms. I look up random or key words related to what I want to connect with.

For example, there’s the science feed (look up the testing tube emoji) or BlueSky Ñ for posts in Spanish.

Hmmm claro, pero los bots hacen muchos comentarios por segundo y nosotras no. Prefiero dedicar mi tiempo a otras cosas.

Que conste que te entiendo, aunque yo soy más de contestar en espacios “tangible”.

Twitter al final serán bots con bots, y algunos fachas por ahí en la “guardería” echando horas.

Tendría sentido! Pero las mudanzas son muy duras para la mente 😅

Mucha suerte, amiga!

A mí, por alguna razón que ya creo mágica, siempre me ayuda cuando limpio u ordeno. Es como que o aparece, o de repente lo veo en mi mente.
