I'm doing exactly that on French too. I don't like to memorise things without context, If I have some trouble, I may look up a bit and then get back quickly until I nail it naturally without grinding over the tables without context.

Grumpy Zunk No, definitely not. Sorry, my tone was off. He’s consistent. That’s all. :)

thanks for the advice!!

"When we speak quickly you have to pay attention" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 There you have it folks, that's all there is to it. 🤪

I agree. I learned this wisdom 2 months down the road. Started learning Spanish on the internet from scratch on November 1, 2023 in my native Poland where I live (and have NO chance to speak). Followed the gurus who --like Steve Kaufman--promote "the natural approach to language acquisition . for the entire November and December I just read and listened to various Spanish stories on You Tube. My Spanish speaking debut in Spain around the beginning of 2024 was a total disastear: I could barely utter one sentence each time I opened my mouth. Changed my approach ca February 1--5 , yes, this month .Sice that day , for ca 3 week I have been learning the Spanish conjugation ca 2 hours a day, almost every day. The results have been quite spectacular. 3 days ago I tested myself and found out that: 1. I can write a daily entry in my Spanish diary fast and without consulting any Spanish grammar of dictionary 2. I can easily follow the plot in a good book for adults, not children. Yes, it has been frustrating for me to learn the Spanish conjugation --the most complicated conjugation I have ever learned. But....I see no other way. There is so much to the Spanish conjugation you CANNOT posibly figure out by yourself even if your listen to it or read it many time. I don't think I will be able to learn the grammar long enough to master it. But I CANNOT IMAGINE learning the language without learning its grammar.

I hear brits do that all the time. I sounds weird to me too.

There is no right or wrong way to speak. Language evolves.

@@Scott_Raynor yes it does but in cases like News announcers and politicians, there is a risk that they could lose credence by being too colloquial.

Quería is continuous, the "want" exists in the past into the present (and possible future). You want something and you intend to put it into action. Quise is more of a longing that hasn't or likely may not come into fruition.

Who cares about it? Only you

Mau Pr That’s right ;)

not a runny nose. I just finished exercising had a shower and was still a little sweaty.

oh, my mistake

You're an ignorant because you know nothing about your own language. Your "advice" is really useless. Why don't you let better native speakers give advices to learners and shut up if you have nothing intelligent to say? Everybody would thank you if you do that

I think he’s Canadian (native English speaker).

A dialect is just a community that makes the same mistake.

It's a mistake. Period

@@mep6302 I disagree. If it's a very common mistake, it's not a mistake but simply the language growing and evolving. This sort of thing happens all the time and the way to speak that's considered 'proper' right now was probably just a bunch of mistakes a few hundred years ago. I think it's completely fine (especially in informal situations) to say "He don't know no better"

Hercules Poirot I disagree. It's a mistake and we're not talking about past or future, we're talking about present, about now

People who don't know about language evolution always speak about this. You're a good example. Do you know what growing means? It looks like you don't
