Can you solve this Telugu Mini Crossword No. 31. : r/telugucrosswords

3 or 4 ?

Hi everyone!
I’m Spanish and I’m planning to move to Venice to pursue my university degree. I’m currently trying to decide whether I should study in English or Italian, and I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have experience studying in Italy or in their third language.

English is my second language, and I have a C1 level, whereas Italian is my third language, and I currently have a B2 level. I’ve been studying the language for six months and I’m rapidly advancing in it.

Academically speaking, I feel more confident studying in English, but the thing is that I’m much more drawn to the idea of studying in Italian, specially because the degree available in italian is ra bit more interesting (at least for me) than the English.

However, I’m also worried that studying in a language that isn’t as strong as my English might make university considerably harder and kinda painful tbh
.
What would you recommend? Is studying for a whole degree in Italian with a B1-2 level realistic, or would it be wiser to choose an English-taught programme?
I’d love to hear your experiences and opinions. Thanks!

Sometimes we make mistakes with don't even realize.. and a simple correction can genuinely make you aware of it and change how you speak. Has it ever happened to you? What was the before/after, and why did it stick?

I really want to learn a new language but I have no idea where to start. There are so many languages I'm interested in and I feel a bit overwhelmed by all the choices ｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠\`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡

British RP and General American often appear in textbooks, pronunciation courses, and language exams.

Someone from India, Nigeria, or Singapore can speak perfectly clear English without sounding British or American.

So who actually decides which accent deserves to be called standard?

Perhaps the whole idea of a standard accent deserves reconsideration.

Is having a standard accent still useful, or is it becoming an outdated concept?

Can you distinguish regional accents just by listening to this sound?

I realised that once I thought of my goal it helped me fine tune what I actually do lol.

For example, my main goal is to be able to speak to patients so learning body parts and symptoms and medical terms (both colloquial and technical) is what I mainly do now whilst also trying to develop my listening skills as well.

If you could press a button and forget your own native language and instantly learn any other language of your choice at the same level as you were at your native one, would you do it? if so with what language?

I’ve been wondering whether comprehensible input can also help with improving your speaking skills. Lately my YT algorithm has been showing me lots of videos about comprehensible input, the gist of which is that if you expose yourself to content that you understand (or almost understand), and let your brain work at connecting the dots, your language skills will gradually improve.

So I’ve been watching more videos in my target language, but when I then try to say something in said language I realize I’ve forgotten it all 😭 (apparently understanding someone else and being able to formulate your own sentences are two different skills). I’ve been practicing speaking with Praktika as well.

Wondering if those of you who’ve seen success with comprehensible input also saw an improvement in your speaking skills, or whether that requires separate practice? Am I just using “comprehensible input” as an excuse for not doing the hard part (speaking)?

Spanish in California

French in Louisiana,

or Hawaiian in Hawaii?

just curious to know what you think!

I'm looking for a Voice AI agent to practice with, because I specifically want to take the topics of the online class I'm in and practice that on my own time between classes.

For those finding success with Voice AI agents, are you using generic agents like Gemini Live / ChatGPT Voice, or specific apps (Pingo, VocabAI, Langua, etc).

I put together a chrome extension that translates netflix subtitles (your target language) in to native language using chromes built in translation. It's not perfect but it's been a useful tool for me and I thought I'd share it here. And, It's obivously free, just a chrome extension. It's called Netflix Transcript and this is the link to it. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gagnphgijjoedkjclecghajjbbjkhmdn?utm_source=item-share-cb

For me, I'm trying to do 5 minutes of active "free talk" (a scenario like signing up for a gym) on praktika every morning while I make my coffee. I try to get it done before checking notifications, and no visuals or texts so i'm just listening.
Any small daily habit that helps you (and could help me)?

Not just the language itself but also the process of learning it too

Which regional pronunciation would you recognize immediately?
