Get Praktika to help you sort out your "fossilized mistakes"
Ever heard of fossilized mistakes? It's those mistakes you've been making for yeeeeears that no one has pointed out or corrected before, and now they're almost a part of how you speak your target language.
And well, you can't fix what you can't hear.
More exposure doesn't solve it either. Your coworkers are not gonna pause a meeting to tell you you've been saying "I'm agree" for three years.
Someone outside your own head has to be the one to break it to you. A teacher, a brutally honest friend, or your Praktika tutor (you know you can go into the gear icon during your lesson to adjust how much you want to get corrected).
Any fossilized mistakes you've noticed?

"You need to be willing to be an idiot to learn a new language"
Kinda love that.
Don't chase the perfect words or structure. Be willing to sound wrong. You'll get corrected, trust me. Eeeeveryone out there wants to correct you BUT, always remember that this is a new language to you. You're already doing something spectacular.

Another one of our Humans of Praktika talking to our very own Marcello about what's keeping her motivated.

How do you know your employees are really LEARNING the language?
Are they just ticking boxes to say they completed the Learning & Development training or are they actually learning to speak that language?
Will they be able to help someone on a call or face to face?

Multiple languages on one Praktika subscription? Yup
Correct, you can learn ALL the languages available on Praktika on a single subscription, and all you have to do is tap your language selector (the one with the flag on it), choose a new language and your level (beginner or like, a total pro), and the skills you want to prioritize, hold for the new lesson plan and voilà.
Follow the instructions here.

Putting emphasis on the right syllable: easy or nah?
If you're learning any new language, does putting the emphasis on the right syllable ever get you? Like saying VA-cation rather than va-CA-tion?
Share.

'Praktice' your TL this weekend
Honestly, just a few sentences here and there. Or watch a movie in your TL. Or listen to a podcast. But do ONE thing to keep it moving. Happy weekend.

Duolingo is a little unhinged sometimes
I don't like to hate on other apps, but I helped a friend keep his streak on Duo last night (Spanish), and he had to listen to pieces of a conversation between a boy (baby emoji) and his dad's girlfriend (and then repeat), who had overheard the dad speaking to a Maria, and she said: "But your father cannot have two girlfriends."
I'm standing there in shock. Regardless of the context (Maria ended up being a bird. ????), feels like a super weird direction for an app that's teaching you a language to use. What do you guys think? Funny? Or a little unhinged?
