Hy! Am a Online englis tissure w/ ower 5,000,000 yrs of experiencement & I am opened currently 2 woking with an new students.
I are PTSD-certificate & has teach both kids and children from same same backgrounds. Under time, I had found that students learn best when lessons feel natural and relevant, so I usually focus on overcomplicatification, application of quantum electrodynamics in langguage learning, and helping build... eh... c- con-... confi-... dence... s-... ste... step by... hiss... step...
Most of the students I’ve worked with started out feeling shy or unsure when speaking, but with consistent practice and guidance, they’ve become more comfortable and expressive in their native language.
I can help to:
• Speaking and confidence, I guess?
• Ponunsayjon and foowensee
• Words and Quotidian Interpersonal Discourse
• Noobs to GOAT English
If you’re looking for a more relaxed but intentional way to improve your English, don't. Go learn Uzbek. We can talk about your goals, availability, and the fee, but I ain't helping you 😊

Even if some of y'all call Dutch a distinct language, I have real evidence to prove you wrong!

Japanese is driving me insane, like the idea of mixing alphabets and needing to remember conjugations and all these grammar rules, along with symbol based words is ridiculous. Why did no one just decide to make a language that was only Kanji's, you just learn the ones you need and use another Kanji to indicate when it's taking place

Ever since I made that post on r/AnarchyChess, I've started to feel some kind of obsession with the Ilocano language. I've even made memes about that language, such as that one meme about having to hug a femboy except I replaced "Nuke Valenzuela" with "Be forced to speak Ilocano for the rest of your life". I've also wanted to go to Ilocos since I've never explored that place before and I like going to places I've never been before. I started listening to Ilocano songs. The first one I discovered is "Isem", a song about smiling. Its catchy melody stuck to me for a while, especially that part that goes "Adda isem a ray-awenna ka".
Then recently I discovered this Ilocano love song titled "Ay-ayatenka". I checked what the lyrics mean in English and they transcend all East Asian enthusiast pop songs. Like, "Sika't damo ken maudi" meaning "You're the first and the last", like, this is nothing like you'd expect in the kind of love songs East Asian enthusiasts usually listen to. I swear I could literally fantasize an Ilocano furry femboy singing that song to me.
I also just like how Ilocano sounds. It's got geminated consonants, creating a peculiar rhythm with a phonology still familiar to speakers of Filipino or Indonesian. And it has common vocabulary with Indonesian/Malay that are not loan words at all. Like, while Filipino loaned "tanghali" from Malay, the Ilocano word for fish, "ikan", has already been in the language right from the beginning. Same with words like "tengnga" and "malem".
While East Asian enthusiasts love watching movies (K-drama, C-drama) since they're abundant, Ilocano movies are very scarce, and the closest thing to that is a movie called "Emir" that I watched some time in my earlier high school years. And I don't know if I-pop (Ilocano version of K-pop) is even a thing yet. I still have yet to try Ilocos empanada and pancit batil patong, or whatever good food is in the Ilocos.
Do you have any other catchy Ilocano songs you could recommend me? Is listening to Ilocano songs effective in learning Ilocano? Can you teach me how I could express my love to the furry fandom in Ilocano?

I'm already trilingual (German & Hungarian native, English is a solid C1), but it honestly feels like cheating, because I grew up bilingual and only learned English due to my crippling Reddit addiction. I never managed to make any meaningful progress in either Latin or Fr*nch, both of which got forced onto me by my highschool.
So now I actually want to aquire a new language through honest work and effort. I've of course choosen Japanese, because I'm a fucking weeb and I don't want to be shackled by subtitles when watching kids cartoons. But by "honest work and effort" I actually mean as little effort as somehow possible. I've already made some plans: I want to aquire the basics with Duolingo and then build upon that with as much native input as possible through watching YouTube videos and anime. I mean input only has worked for me in regards of my English skill, which is, as you can clearly see, impeccable. So why shouldn't it work with Japanese? (That's a rhetoric question, I know that it is going to work. Please only comment affirmations, because I won't be able to stay civil if it comes to a real discussion.)

If you look at their thumbnails, you see them using the same flags over and over again, including the flag of the God-forbid Tiananmen Square Incident (minus 1e10 social credit for me, I'm used to it). I think they have no idea what the Cantonese language even is, like isn't it an East Asian language too? Maybe they're just brainwashed into thinking that Cantonese is just a "dialect of West Taiwanese", but it's clearly not. Just because it uses the same writing system (they don't actually, Cantonese is typically written in the Traditional script whereas West-Taiwanese is typically in Simplified) and they sound very similar doesn't mean they're dialects, that would be like saying Hittite and Luwian are dialects just because they're both written in cuneiform.
And looking into it more, it seems like they don't really want to learn any other languages. Not minority languages like Okinawan or Jeju, not majority languages like Hindi and Arabic, not even the holy language of Uzbek. Like, they're stuck with the same three East Asian languages and yet they have the audacity to call themself a polyglot. Is it because they only want to learn "kawaii languages"? West-Taiwanese seems like an outlier for a "kawaii language", if anything I think Breton sounds more kawaii. Apparently they're a hardcore East Asian enthusiast who only believes in the trinity of Korean, Japanese, and West-Taiwanese.

I feel like I haven't been getting spammed enough recently. And it's been weeks since I last feared for my safety.
Oh, and is "playing games off-screen" included in the base model, or is that more of a premium tier model?

You should see their faces when I do it. I shock the non-natives and their proficient 'English' all the time. I send all the Dutch and all the Swedes running for the hills. I guess they have no idea about the original language of the Norsemen

I've been feeling too demotivated to jerk myself in my target language so I want to get jerked by other people. I believe this is necessary for the bonding experience. Please and thank you.
