@LanguageComeUp I’m a student but have taken the odd 45 minute class for conversation only and quite liked it, I definitely see it as an option from more teachers now than a few years ago. I stick to an hour for class though (rather than conversation)

@OnlyQualityPpl @thelangbot Don’t be afraid to speak from day one, and check out the podcast notes in Spanish (there are different levels for beginner etc)

I updated my resources page with some interesting Spanish / Italian articles that can be used in conversation classes. They are not so difficult to read but I would say the discussions they prompt are B2+. As I find more I will add them. Hope it’s helpful! https://t.co/Jpfz1t7HTI

@Mslinguistic This book is super interesting - talks about exactly that - how we store different languages in our brain and how do they link

Holidays are always a good time for reflection, so what are my thoughts after my first two week holiday in years? https://t.co/RISiJ5Sf1X

Recommendations for apps/sites that connect travellers and local tour guides ? Looking at Showaround but they want £50 per month!!! I’m looking to offer to be a guide for free to meet people and practice languages so don’t want to pay that much

@nfjmai @thelangbot You can also think about what your personality is in each language - when you are in Spanish mode do you dress or act differently to Italian? https://t.co/ANtzLV5f1s

[Is it my accent? @accent_is]

@nfjmai @thelangbot For some people what works is putting most of your focus on one of the two languages and maintaining the other eg actively spend 80% of your study time on Italian and just maintain Spanish by listening to podcasts or going to conversation meet-ups.

[Is it my accent? @accent_is]

@nfjmai @thelangbot Honestly I still get mixed up (almost always say imparo instead or aprendo but never remember the Italian for ‘to drive’). Don’t beat yourself up as it’s totally normal, the best thing to do is practice!

[Is it my accent? @accent_is]

@nfjmai @thelangbot I do, although my Spanish is better than my Italian! Spanish about C1, Italian about B2

When your air B&B comes with home cooking! Hosts mother keeps making us breakfast. I managed to tell her she is a very good cook in Greek (I think…) she seemed happy so I can’t have been too far off!

@lindiebee Oh no, thoughts and prayers with you all, making the best of the time you have left isn’t always easy but you I will find your way to do it.

@haleyp Box room in a high rise hotel or a huge private terrace for the same price….only reason I’m put off air B&B in future is the cultural impact/ housing market issues for locals. Never had a bad experience (only used in Europe) but I study reviews and don’t book one with 0 reviews

@Klanguages123 @thelangbot Alternate so over a month I would have 2 with each

[Is it my accent? @accent_is]

@Klanguages123 @thelangbot It works well yeah, they are totally different skills to master so I think it’s fine to have different teachers. Community tutors are also cheaper - by doing it this way I can have lessons more frequently than I could if I was always paying teacher prices

@LinguistJosh Some universities (like Durham) are accredited centres for CILS, DELE, DELF etc. I did the DELE there and don’t go to the uni

Struck me today how relevant this is to the decision to learn a language
