PRO-TIP: If you're the jerk who snatched Majchrzak's cap out of the child's hand I'd get out in front of this. Find out how to get the hat back to the kid and make a public apology. This won't end well unless you make it right quickly.
Why do you think people fail at learning foreign languages? My take: insufficient exposure and practice, unrealistic expectations, lack of motivation, and the absence of a need to use the language regularly.

I think the hardest language to learn is the first (foreign) one because you have to learn both that language and how to learn a language at the same time. What do you think?

Soy de comprar libros del tipo "Diccionario de dichos y frases hechas" porque saber la procedencia de las palabras o las expresiones que usamos es fundamental para entender, para contextualizarlo todo. Y cae esto en mis manos: ¡Insuperable!👌🏻#etimología #vocabulario #curiosidades

Según el estudio sólo el 34% de los españoles confía en la mayoría de noticias publicadas en los medios; en las antípodas, Finlandia, donde los medios gozan de la confianza del 68% de su población. Por debajo de España solo queda Estados Unidos (32 %)

You need to know my favourite fact of the day:
Horses won't run on treadmills unless they have a fan blowing their hair back like the wind.
About 2/3rds of the way down the page, under "Graphic: A national crisis, unevenly shared", there's this uninterpretable jewel: "But even among winners, strong seasonal hiring sometimes the industry below year before levels." From: reuters.com/article/usa-econ… @Reuters
