This is going to be one of the hardest things I've done.

Good luck.
Jaxson Stewart
Bump.
Kevin Morales
well tbqh, ive already hit a snag.
I was reading this is the Modern Standard Arabic, the old dialect of the Koran and Academia.
However, it is not used in conversation and nearly every country has a different dialect. Oh, and naturally I'll be going to multiple Arab countries.
Any Arab speakers with any insight on this?

Oye chavales soy un guiri que lleva un año aquí en España curando como profe de ingles. Dame unas frases para que os las leo y me evaluáis la pronunciación.
"Lo mejor de las maduras, es que puedes comerles el roscón de reyes, mientras te tienen al fuego unas lentejas de puta madre. Yo recuerdo una que conocí en un eroski, y la recuerdo como uno de los mejores polvos de mi vida. Ella me hizo unos callos cojonudisisimos, y mientras los preparaba, yo le daba como un cabrón por el ojete, ya que se había puesto faldita para que fuese haciendo mientras cocinaba. Creo que eyaculé tal cantidad de esperma, que estuve dos horas inconsciente. Menos mal que los callos me dieron fuerza para acabar el día con un par más. Y tenía unos hijos majísimos. Menudos vicios echamos al crash bandicoot 2."
If you can read it smoothly I will consider you and honorary spaniard

Yo no sé por qué la palabra "callos" siempre me salga fatal pero bueno.
Wouldn't guess it in a million years user, impressive being anglo, don't take it in a bad way

Regular Russian question again (I suspect the same Russian is answering all my questions so thank you)
To say it is too cold outside do I say "Ha yлицe cлишкoм хoлoднoй"? I see 'on the street' for outside on duolingo but google translate gives me "Bнe". Which one is right and when do I use which one?
Apply to Novarium Vivium Academarium with me. Better hurry applications are almost closed. Decisions are made by August.
Jaxon Reyes
How come youre learning Russian?

Most people that speak formal Arabic well are religious students but every now and again a normal Arab will surprise you with their fluency in fusha (even though they all understand it but usually find it amusing or have to get used to it at first when you start speaking to them in it). I learned formal Arabic. I can mix a little bit of dialect and be understood perfectly. I am just trying to understand dialect much more as most people feel way more comfortable speaking in dialect unless they are classically educated.
I am the Mexican American traveler that is learning all the big languages. I try to learn languages that I can use in the largest area to travel in so I learned Arabic, know Spanish and Arabic, a little Chinese and can read French okay. I started Russian to do this trans siberian trip. Later I hope to perfect it at home and then travel throughout central Asia with it.

where are you living in?
Anthony Butler
How do you travel as much as you do?
Josiah Morgan
I lived in Egypt on a scholarship then I worked in China for a year (teaching English). Saved a butt load of money there, about half of my salary with a ton of travel during my year there (around China and twice to SEA).
I had about 10k saved up and took trains through Mongolia, Russia and now Ukraine since early March.
Jonathan Rivera
Did you teach english knowing Chinese?
Isaiah Robinson
I'm in Madrid muh niggga
Landon Flores
No it isn't required at all. You just need to be a citizen of a English speaking country and have a bachelors in anything.
They usually have a system where a local and foreigner teach the same class at different times. You just have to learn to teach with body language, pictures, etc. It can work surprisingly well sometimes. (Other times it just looks cool to the parents that an actual English speaker is teaching my kids.)
I just studied Chinese while I was there and it isn't great just good enough to get me around and chit chat a bit.
Jaxon Nguyen
Wow. My grandfather did the same in japan a while back. Is it good money?
Jeremiah Cooper
I got paid 1300 ish USD (10k rmb) a month and they paid for my housing with a roomate. It is good money for Chinese people but English teachers can usually get much better. though I was in a cheap city and with a solid company. A lot of the others burnt through their money though. I don't drink, date or do night life so I think I saved a lot more than them.
Plan on doing it again in Japan and then the gulf.
Hm... > 'on the street' for outside on duolingo This part rigth Google translate too straight, u dont say "Bнe yлицы cлишкoм хoлoднo", lol
Jacob Bailey
If one poster is answering questions and being helpful you can bet a feelsposer is not the same person.

Which type of visa do you have to work here? An Australian guy that I know wants to come to Spain to work as a teacher but he hasn't figured out the visa yet
Hudson Butler
Hola mis amigos, aprendo español La pronunciación es muy facil para un francès (just need to work on the trilled r more and more)
Christian Lewis
I suppose this doesn't apply to him because EU citizenship is required:
Do you know this blog? expatmadrid.com/ It's run by an American expat in Madrid. I like it, as a Spaniard I find interesting reading what foreigners think about my country.

>Realised I dont want to learn my target language anymore, I hate it and Im struggling to find any motivation >Time to decide what language to learn again And the cylce continues.
Asher Nelson
Weirdly speaking in a foreign language actually makes me less anxious than normal. Maybe because I'm expected to make mistakes when speaking foreign languages, but not when speaking my native one.
