So, my dream is to become at least bilingual and Spanish is my chosen language. HOWEVER, as a chronically ill young woman, I have to quit college for now. Obviously, you don’t have to attend a college/university to learn a second language, but I was now wondering: What are my best resources for learning Spanish as a second language—whether free or not? Thank you! 😊

Okay so I would recommend Duolingo, obviously but you need other resources too because Duolingo often lacks context and grammar explanations

EDIT: I was just informed that Duolingo is now using AI; so uh probably don't trust that 100%, and also ugh Duo why

What I usually tell people is to check out www.studyspanish.com/grammar which has the best basic overview of the grammar you'd be expected to learn in school

The Bowdoin page on Spanish is also really good overview of some of the most common grammar concepts as well

www.conjuguemos.com also has some good activities for learning Spanish too

[And I do have to mention Rosetta Stone; it does help but it's often cost prohibitive - it works best when you already have a concept of some of the grammar they're talking about because it doesn't explain the grammar (or it didn't when I took it) - some universities have it included in their plans, it was free for me when I was in college which is why I took it but you have to be consistent]

I've also found that for listening and understanding commonplace grammar/words it helps to look on youtube for channels like Butterfly Spanish and Señor Jordan or some of the more educational channels that talk about grammar in ways that sometimes make more sense than texts

If anyone else has any suggestions they like/recommend please let me know or comment below!

Miguel O'Hara x Hispanic reader

Fem civilian reader

Thinking of miguel being all tough and 'manly' but when he's near you, he gets all shy and nervous. 😔💗

+18 | Sub¡Dom relationship | voyeurism | vibrator | miguel being a cutey | Male Orgasm | Humiliation kink | Praise kink | nsfw

(English is not my first language)

Gif not mine

Miguel is a man that has a really good reputation, serious, manly, tough giant hero that whoever dares to cross his path with a slight different option to his, is done.

People close to his job environment were kinda scare of him, but tried not to make it to obvious, in case he gets more furious about it.

That scary, angry expression of his was immediately gone once he sees you, smiling at him, his gaze changes to a more relaxed one. He was finally home.

You didn't get up from the sofa and just lift your finger, you can see his face light up and rapidly goes towards you, getting on his knees immediately, kissing your hand.

'¿Que tal estás, amor?' (How are you, love?) You asked, pleased by the quickly submission of your giant boyfriend.

You rub his cheek cutely, and touch his soft wavy hair 'Bien, estaba un poco estresado por el trabajo, but contigo a mi lado im much better' (Good, i was a little stressed 'cause work, but w you by my side im much better).

Miguel never considered himself a submissive men. All the other relationships he has been in before, were pretty normal, but with you he is a different men, he feels like he only exists to please you, not only sexually, of course.

You want something? He give it to you no matter what, no matter the money, the time. You want to fuck him in the middle of his work?, You have it.

No complaints, no 'buts' , no 'i can't' .

You love going outside w him, watch him begin all tough and demanding to the people around him.

So funny seeing him squirm and change his expression when you set the vibrator to the max, you can't help but laugh at him when he gives those pleading eyes.

Poor thing, he knows you won't stop, you're gonna make him cum in front of his employees. :(

He gets all flustered, but he never changes his grumpy face.

'i have to go for a moment i'll be right back' you see how he quickly runs to the restroom. You grab your phone, and immediately send him a message '¿Quien te dio permiso a irte? Brat' (Who gave permission to go? Brat)

'Please, mommy, not infront of them'

'salte, miguel' (get out, Miguel)

And as the good boy he is, he obeys.

A couple of minutes of your teasing is all it takes for him to cum in front of everyone.

Surprisingly no one noticed were their scary boss weird behavior comes from and they tried to ignored it.

'Good boy' you whisper closer to his now very warm face

He looks at you flustered, proud and surprised of his good behaviour and acting skills.

------------------------------------- • 🍒

Love y'all, if there's any bad grammar please let me know 😭. (Requests are open)

one thing about learning languages is that yes, learning in itself is fun but what’s even greater is the fact that all your other interests and hobbies can be looked at with another shade of light. I personally love philosophy and to be able to read another language’s nuances and concepts and understand it more than you ever could with a translation? incredible.

Learning a new language shouldn't be awkward.

It feels awkward because unnecessary stigma causes you to feel that way. "Broken" English, "Silly" Japanese, "Odd" Spanish, etc. are all derogatory terms that are hurtful to people when they just seek a deeper understanding. The best way to practice a new language is to get out there and introduce yourself. Have a chat at a coffee shop, gab on the train, have fun with your friends. Travel if possible and interact with the locals. We are all individuals, and every language is beautiful. Communication is beautiful.

Learning through immersion

(Specifically Spanish, for intermediate-advanced learners. Most of this can be used for any language though)

Consume native content without looking up anything. Just enjoy it. (Something written, or something which has a transcript/subtitles)

Now consume it a second time

Write down any interesting sentences. (Ideally with pen and paper, for it to stick)

Anything that has something that looks like a word you know, but is in a tense you’re not sure, just a new use of a tense, some interesting expression or vocab…

Go onto SpanishDict and type in those interesting conjunctions, figure out what tense they’re in

Learn that new tense! Either through SpanishDict (they have lessons for pretty much everything) or just google lessons online. This can be as in depth as you like, or you can just google a quick explanation

Create new vocab list of new words and quickly run through it

Re-consume native content after going through all your sentences with a new enlightened mind

On this run you can also read aloud (or mirror, if you have audio) the interesting sentences you wrote down. With feeling, please.

Then write something in your own words, using new grammar and vocab you’ve studied. Or speak aloud, and record yourself. You should try to write other sentences using a similar structure as whatever new interesting tense use you’ve found. If it suits you, get a native speaker to check your sentences, using Busuu, or HiNative, or something similar.

This is just one way that I’ve been enjoying recently. To be honest, you can cut out pretty much any of these steps depending on what suits you, how much time you have, etc.

The important thing is that you’re paying close attention to your content, and you absolutely need to write your own sentences afterwards.

Unless you genuinely have no interest in communicating with native speakers — maybe you just want to watch tv or read in your target language and that’s fine — but if you do want to be able to communicate, you’re going to need to practice. You should also be practicing speaking aloud. If you have nobody to talk to, talk to yourself.

This strategy is really useful for when you’ve self-studied the basics of a language and you don’t know what grammar you need to study next. Just let

#i hope this is coherent #btw I skip half these steps all the time #I do think it’s important to stumble through before looking things up tho #but you can do this by just…reading a paragraph in its entirity before googling whatever vocab and grammar #also this process doesn’t need to happen in one sitting #langblr #language #language learning #spanish #spanish langblr #learn spanish #linguistics #language tips #language resources #languages #spanish language #learning languages #language learning tips #how to learn Spanish #quinn posts #100

Currently learning a new language

And

Fuck

It's hard

But I keep telling myself "I'm a toddler, scratch that, a baby, learning a new language, hearing it for the first time, trying to piece the words together"

It takes native speakers months, no years, to learn their native language.

I've been at it for a month

I'm not gonna get it in a month

It's gonna take me years

But if I'm willing to put the work in.........

Another etymology I like - la trompeta "trumpet" is a diminutive of la trompa which can mean "(French) horn" like a musical instrument

But! la trompa can also mean an "elephant's trunk", probably either related to the shape - or it might be because of the noise elephants make

[also la trompa can be used with insects like mosquitoes like the big long nose part... and so la trompa can be used to describe "big noses" in animals (and also people); and trompa is used in anatomy like trompa de falopio is "Fallopian tube"... I think probably the shape but there are a few "tubes" that get translated as trompa in Spanish]

Introduction post :)

me:

I am from the more northern region of Appalachia

I’m currently learning Spanish and my goal is to become fluent (always down to chat in it, I don’t get enough practice with writing lol)

I like a wide variety music, but my favorite genres are metal (especially nu, thrash, and groove metal) and folk! I listened to 117 genres in 2023 and my goal was 100!

I love classic literature and writing (most passionate about poetry + haikus)

I’m interested in viral microbiology and mortuary science (to become a coroner/medical examiner) as careers

I recently started drumming B)

My favorite drummers are Joey Jordison, Mercedes Lander, and Dave Grohl (pretty basic choices but idc and I think they’re really cool)

my favorite bands are Murderdolls & kittie :)

I do film photography & develop my black and white pictures on my own!

My blog:

I will primarily be posting my poetry & other writings, art, and music opinions, but I don’t want to limit myself to specific topics

Im totally open to writing critiques, but I will state if I’m not on certain posts. Please feel free to ask questions about my writing or art if you’re ever curious!!

always down for music/book/poet/artist/photographer recommendations!!

language, the building blocks of communication. how could i not want to learn it all?

ughhhh every script, every grammar structure, every word… i love it all so much.

the feeling of when you watch something you used to not understand? when you finally communicate your thoughts after struggling to get your words out? when you meet someone new? when you understand an untranslatable joke? when you learn one word then start seeing it everywhere? when your brain starts to hurt in the good way because its all so confusing? then months later down the line those things come to you like second nature… it’s incredible.

the human mind can do so so so much. why not learn it all? why not at least try?

even forgetting things, making mistakes, and getting embarrassed feels good at this point. it feels like it’s all part of the process.
