So, I found someone who can make me a Switch Lite, and I can customize the shell, buttons, D-pad, and joysticks, which I think is sick! I was thinking that if I get that Switch Lite, I could mod it and play most games I'd like. (I'm really not sure how modding works, so any helpful info would be great!) The only thing is, it would cost a good amount, and I could just spend maybe $100 or so more and get a normal Switch 2. But I love the looks and portability of the Switch Lite, and how it's not that big. I really don't care that it can't connect to the TV. The only thing making me even consider this decision is that I'd be missing out on the new Switch 2 games. (I'm also wondering if a modded Switch Lite can play Switch 2 games.) So, I just wanted to get some additional help and know what you guys think about this.

I want to start this off by saying thank you guys so much for all the helpful advice in my previous post. I have been watching Dreaming Spanish videos for at least 15-30 minutes a day, keeping my Duolingo streak (this keeps me motivated, lol), and also changed most of my social media apps to Spanish, among a few other miscellaneous things. I have already noticed my Spanish getting better little by little, so that is encouraging!

But something that is definitely standing out to me is that my vocabulary is extremely behind. I feel like I know lots of phrases, but I can’t seem to piece together original sentences sometimes (because of lack of knowing words) , there are just simply lots of words I don’t know.

My question is: what is the best way to expand my vocabulary? I feel like if I can learn tons more words, I will be able to communicate way more comfortably and maybe even talk to my dad exclusively in Spanish (although I know it will be horrible). I feel it’s a huge step in the right direction.

This is honestly really sad, but I'm half Mexican and I never learned (or was never taught) Spanish. I'm honestly tired of it; I feel like I've missed out on relationships with my grandparents and family just because I can't speak with them. So, I've recently been on Duolingo, but I know this isn't enough to learn. (Also just from what I’ve seen Duolingo is over-hated lol.)

I guess my question is: what is the most efficient method for learning Spanish so I can at least communicate with my family? I know everyone learns differently, but maybe just tell me what methods have worked best for you. Honestly, I can pick up on some words they're saying sometimes; it just seems like they're talking extremely fast. By the time I think I have an idea of what they said in the last sentence, they're talking about something completely different, lol.

Also, I know this isn't an overnight thing that's going to happen, and I will have to be dedicated. That's another thing I'm scared of, so I'm also wondering how you guys stay dedicated? I would also like to avoid the tutor route if possible because it's honestly expensive and I'm a student, but if it could **really** help me learn that much more, I'll consider it. Thanks!

Recently, I gave them to temptation and curiosity and bought likes on TikTok from a site called “Media Mister” I did a little digging, and I saw mainly if not all good things (I’m now learning that these were all bot reviews and fake…) the likes were initially delivered but then after a few days they disappeared, and I was not provided a refill of the likes. 0/5 ⭐️
