I find that writing things down helps me to process, so I started writing down sentences from my daily Spanish practice in tiny (roughly A6 size) notebooks. I’m using spiral notebooks specifically, because they fold over and I can use the “flip side” for English. Another experiment, we’ll see whether it pays off. #SpanishLanguage

The amount of badly translated to Spanish interfaces I see online is very high. The translation of "open" as in "to open" is "abrir", not "abierto", and so on (my mail service is asking me if I want to "vacío" my spam folder). I guess most companies machine-translate everything nowadays and don’t pay anyone to check afterwards, even for the most basic things. #translation #machineTranslation #ux #ui #spanish #spanishLanguage

#langHangout Q3 What is your language learning goal for this year... and how is it going?

I don’t really have a goal for the year. I just try to learn as often as possible.😄

If you use Anki to learn Spanish, I cannot recommend this deck:

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2813133810

It has serious mistakes in the audio and the Spanish. In particular, the personal "a" is sometimes missing where needed.

I've switched to this deck. It may have problems, but right off the bat I'm happy with its approach.

I'll note here that flashcards are an *adjunct* to learning Spanish. My main tools right now are:

* Reading and replying to message in Spanish in the Fediverse.

* Reading books in Spanish.

* Listening to music in Spanish, with clear vocals.

* Spanish conversation every two weeks.

ETA: I'm intermediate in Spanish.
