I hope I’m not being rude but what’s your first language ? Because English is not my first language either
hi roció! technically i’m supposed to be bi-lingual but i’m currently bye-lingual so uhhhh idk how to help you either xD but… honestly i would highly recommend reading english articles out loud, especially opinion pieces? because i’m doing that to improve my chinese xD and it kinda helps
@Unknown Reader My first language is Spanish!!! What's yours?
My first language is Portuguese which is similar to Spanish, I was fluent when I was younger but I no longer am, but am learning to become fluent again.
Hi crane!! Thank you!! Also, chinese?!?! Wow, I mean, I can't even imagine trying to learn it, it seems so difficult.
Hi Caitlin! In my high school I'm learning portuguese and even though is similar to Spanish, sometimes I mistake a lot of words
When I was at school, I used to learn Spanish and end up making mistakes too, it’s normal.
Yeah, also making mistakes is the best way to learn. (at least that's what people says)
its true! As long as you realise your mistakes and you know how to not make that mistake again :)
Thank u!!!Now, talking about another thing, do you know any good but not really famous series? (with famous I refer to Game of thrones, money heist..., you know, the typical ones)
Well am not to sure what to suggest to but am currently watching who killed Sara on Netflix, it’s a Spanish series but you can watch it in whatever language, something about is that when I see a Netflix series that’s in Spanish I’ll probably watch it, I just feel like the action is so much better.If tell me series that you’ve watched maybe I’ll have an idea as to what to recommend you.

My first language is Spanish!!! What's yours?"
It’s Hindi actually.
It’s kind of weird for me because I can speak Hindi better than English. But for writing and reading ? I prefer English.
I can read an English text twice as fast as hindi
@Caitlin Actually, who killed Sara is one that I wanted to watch, is it good?
I've watch Game of thrones, Outer banks, 13 reasons why, Money heist, Elite, Deadly class... I prefer action series better than love ones, but I receive any suggestions!
@Unknown ReaderWow, that's really curious!! I mean I don't think a lot of people are able to read a text in another language faster than in their first language! (besides bilingual people, of course)
Omg we like the same shows, I love elite I haven’t finished watching the new season yet because I’ve been watching who killed Sara and yeah it’s good, I even told my sister to watch it, I love money heist, am going to be really sad when the final season comes out. And I’ve watched outer banks but not the new season is good?
Have you watched any shows that’s fantasy or si-fi?
I haven't watched the new season of outer banks, only the first episode and it's good, at least that one. I don't really know a fantasy or si-fi show that I've watched, maybe if you tell me an example of one, I can think of it.
I'll watch who killed Sara as soon as I finish Outer banks!!
Once you’ve watched who killed Sara, let me know what you think of it. Have you ever watched the vampire diaries or like teen wolf?

@Caitlin No, I haven't!! But my cousin told me they're good!
You should watch it, it’s quite good.

The reason for this is simple. From a young age, I’ve been going to English-medium school. All my textbooks, lessons , exam, and the teachings ..everything was in English. But in home, I speak hindi mostly.
Thus, the reason I can read and write English better but speak Hindi better.
As for any tips for learning English. I’ve heard that watching shows in your first language but with English subtitles helps.
@unknown readeri find that really cool!!!
I'll try what you said, thanks!!
hello!!! I'm here just to say that I've been watching Outer Banks and I love Kiara, but sometimes I really hate what she do :)
Hi, that’s great I really like her too but I also really like JJ.
Does anybody know a good sentence (it can be from a book or not) to write it on a T-shirt? (today I'm going to decorate T-shirts with my friends, that's why I'm asking jskjsjs)
Mod
- There is always another secret (Mistborn)
- No Mourners, No Funerals (six of crows)
- Always (Harry potter)
- It is what it is (Sherlock tv show)
- There is nothing so serious as a game (truly devious)
I know they're aren't the best but still, these are the ones I could think of immediately. Good luck with the shirt decoration
Thank u, they're really good!!I'm going to do 2 shirt from my favourite shows (Game of thrones and Harry Potter) but I asked to try something new in another T-shirt
How about this:love and hate are visceral (from The Hating Game)
God, I really hate the book, but the first line was Golden😂
Lol I thought it was just me who just hated that book, glad am not the only one anymore.
I haven't read The hating game but I'm not very interested in it
Mod
It’s interesting how people have polar opinions on that books, that is actually motivating me to read it. I’m just reluctant to take books where enemies to lovers begin with petty enmity. I like it when the enmity is actually serious !
No honey. The problem is with the book. Not us. I took a little revenge by writing a ranting review about it btw. Here's the link:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Plz read it and say your opinion. YW haters, Sorry fans😂

Ok, I see your point. I’m starting to think maybe I won’t like it but I’ll try to read it to see if it’s actually good or bad.
Trust me u won't like it, but it wont go amass to read it. At least you'll be able warn other people about how bad it is from your own personal experience😂 The thing is that I like to read sth realistic and even though some romances are surreal, but at least they are sweet and beautiful and it makes me hate the surreal part less. Yet, this one was surreal AND disgusting which made me hate it double.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I just said what I really thought about it. Calling a spade a spade😂
I'm learning english (bc I'm not english) and this group is really helping me because I can practise! :)
