Imposter syndrome! I been learning Spanish for 8 months. I feel like I know a lot of things but I am too nervous to speak? Any advice.

I am constantly questioning myself. I am always thinking I am wrong, and my tutor says that it's okay; he will correct my mistakes. Also, any tips or website or guide because I get confused on the Spanish sentence structures. I get word order mixed up because it is not as simple as SOV. Sometimes you add different words to the end such también. In English it is in the beginning "I also…” Where can you learn special phrases? My tutor responded to me, “No hay de qué.” I had to look it up, but there are so many options. I know he said you are welcome.  Sin problema. Without problem, but it really means no problem. Why doesn’t he just say “No hay problema”? I get very nervous of the Spanish verb conjugation. As a native English speaker, it gets confusing when sometimes Spanish leaves out words such as does etc. I know it’s a lot to ask here. So thank you in advance. Also, can you share your study tips? How many hours you study and your study methods, tools, and apps that you use?

Is the Oura Ring 4 suppose to be a little bit warm?

I got a free Oura Ring 4 from a diabetes study. After wearing it for a week, my middle finger got sore. I wear it on my index finger and not my middle finger. I don't know why it is a little bit warm. There is no warranty with it because I have no receipt. I decided to get another one from Amazon and see. The one I received felt the same warmth. I don't know if I am imagining things that it supposed to be a little bit warm.

Spanish with Nate

I recent sign up for $37 program a month. After looking inside the actually program it does seem like it has lots of material. This is rubbing me the wrong way. Should I cancel cause why does this say $10,000 for premium and they keep emailing me. It to much sales tactics. Should I cancel $37 membership just use it for the month I already paid. Has anyone tried it and got a lot out of it.

Italki Quiz from a Professional Teacher prospective.

I know I recently asked a similar question. I want to know how the Italki quiz works. Does the teacher just click a button, and it automatically generates a quiz? Do you look over the questions? My professional tutor assigns quizzes once a week. I want to ask him, but it seems like never the right time, and I don't know how to bring it up. Last week, he assigned me a quiz at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday Pacific Standard Time. I feel so bad because in Spain, it was like 3 a.m. I saw his message and replied, “Okay.” We have lessons on Monday at 9 a.m. Pacific time. I don't want him to feel obligated if he is really busy that week. I know a lot of teachers teach on Italki as a secondary income. Based on the schedule, it seems like he has 12 students total. He might have a main job. Overall the quiz is simple and I could skip it if he doesn't have time.

Speaking and making sentences in Spanish.

Is there a good application or website or program to make or practice sentences in Spanish? I am learning Spanish A1. I freeze when I have to make sentences with my tutor. Are there any good suggestions? I cannot answer simple sentences. I think like English all the time. I want to get better. It gets confusing because you cannot translate 1 to 1. I don't want to translate like that. I want to be more natural and fast.

What is the correct meaning of simpático?

What is the correct meaning? My textbook online for college said it means nice. I believe Portales is teaching Spanish from Spain. I asked my italki teacher, a native of Spain living in Gijón, and he said it means funny. Who is correct? I am assuming he would be correct if he is native Spainard. What does it mean from Spain and Latin America? Are they both right. Google says something else.

Assigned Homework Last minute.

Should I get upset that my tutor assigns me homework on Sunday, a day before my class? I have classes once a week on Monday. Lately, he has been giving me homework on the last day of the week, right before the lesson. I don't even think he put that much effort into it. I think it is AI, italki generated. He probably looks over the question. Does any teacher know how italki homework is generated? I am taking Spanish class. It seems like a waste of time for him to even assign homework at this point.

Italki Student price increase???

I just notice a price increase from my tutor. Should I ask or just accept it. I started learning with them at $25 dollars and notice the price went up to $26. I don't really mind. Now it $27 an hour. I can still afford the $2 increase but should I ask why or ask them to inform me first? He is a great tutor. I don't want to search for another tutor and start over again. I just feel like a price increase should be mention. I've only work with them for 23 lessons about 6 months.

ser estar trabajar comer vivir ver querer pedir empezar fregar pensar regar cerrar entender perder mentir preferir venir dormir jugar elegir conseguir freír decir sonreír seguir repetir reír medir comprobar contar costar encontrar recordar sonar oler poder volver mover morder volar dar traer hacer saber poner conocer construir huir salir traducir parecer conducir destruir oír

from what I am understanding and inputting in gemini and ChatGPT most of these verbs are irregular verbs. I am not not understanding when they say irregular AR, ER, IR. Does those type also have a pattern. My tutor said you learn the pattern of the AR, ER, IR memorize the irregular but seems like so many are irregular.

Help please. If you know a site or YouTube video to explain all these. My speaking ability is link to the verbs. I just want to know the present past and future for now.

So far I made a list in my graph note book. Referring to the list every time I want to speak isn't practical.

Study Tips and guidance. What are people's study routine.

Should you study everyday? I work 5 days a week and have two days off. Should I study at least one hour a day or just use the two day off and study hard. How should I go about studying irregular verbs. This is the hard type of verbs they are all different. I wrote them down in a notebook the ones I am learning from my Italki teacher. I stumbled to remember them. I know them but I don't. I freeze all the time. How can I improve on my spanish faster. I understand a lot more now. I still can speak to any spanish customers at my job.
