--just a little rant dw
#if I had a euro for every time someone asked me to teach them spanish I'd have three euros#which is not a lot but it is still weird that it has happened thrice#my spanish isn't even that good#i don't feel comfortable using it around native speakers verbally#or write my own text#but I'm semi-dencent at translating which is enough to qualify me as a teacher for my friends apparently??#current requests are:#refresh some of their spanish knowledge from school#teach them basic holiday vocabulary#teach one of them how to flirt#which is a wild thing to ask of an asexual who's chronically single but i will try my best??#i have spent a few too many days before the break sitting in the library with ~5 different spanish practice and grammar books#while trying to come up with lesson plans#genuine lesson plans#i'm not even studying to become a teacher!!!#i refused to do that quite some time ago!!#and again I was only a good/ okay student in Spanish#my pronounciation and creativity while writing saved my ass like 90% of the time#i have no idea when to use what past form and at this point i'm too scared to ask#also por and para but that's a different iszue entirely#also two of the people i'm supposed to teach HATE grammar with a burning passion and I have no idea how to make it appealing#for me i only got through grammar sections in school bc then i could LEARN MORE LANGUAGE and READ MORE TEXTS#but i don't think that this will work on them bc this is only the second language they're learning without a gun to their heads#and i fear that grammar might do them in with language learning once and for all#whyyy do people think i'm the language person in this group#my other friend understands like russian and japanese#i just kinda went 'i want' to italian and portuguese after already knowing spanish and latin#they're all the same language with different hats#the same language of course being latin#really fascinated by the arabic influences on Spanish though
