Posting this for educational purposes mainly. If some idiot on reddit claims women being educated (which I've personally seen) and having jobs is what's driving down the birthrate, in Japan particularly, you can point out how full of shit they are. We really need to push back against that propaganda.
I'm looking for some good suggestions for listening and speaking Spanish. I'm a native English speaker that also speaks Japanese. I learned Japanese while living in Japan, so I'm not scared of actually using the language and I learned a lot of it through context. I hated the textbooks. I'm not that kind of learner.
I'm still in Japan but I'll be returning to the US in a couple of years. I want to take seasonal trips to Mexico in the future. I'm not looking to attend university or anything like that there. Just trips.
I did do the 3 day trial of Rosetta stone and didn't hate it. Anyone else similar to me? Do you have any recommendations?
I have had a few moments like that, the worst one was when my cousin told me that her live in boyfriend of two years told her that her furniture at her grandparents house (which they had lived in together rent free for 18 months, they moved to his apartment when the house was sold after the grandparents died and he insisted on bringing back only his luxurious furniture and to leave her cheap furniture behind) "wasn't his problem" when her parents required her to remove all the furniture before the house was officially put on sale... she said it like this was mildly annoying but normal and her parents heard her say this to me and said nothing. I was actively baffled for days afterwards.
