A general2
but if there's already a conversation in general?
Ok
Right
A hidden off-topic channel?
Nah
Or shown?
ok
Shown
Not enough people would find out about it
if it doesn't work then deleting it isn't hard
But #☕・general is for general purpose conversations, not to focus on a specific topic for a long time
It’s a success in the Japanese chat
It doesn’t hurt to try
Or was it another chat
This is #⚓・contact-staff 😂
And the Japanese chat has like 3 channels for conversations
That was related to language
Yes
Yeah
We are discussing suggestions
well we're talking abt the
Yeah
yea
Are we gonna moderate if people are taking about a specific thing like programming in general?
Falls within the purpose of the channel.
Ih
We moderate everything
But we’re not policing people’s convos
@dry oracle Yeah, I think so
if it goes on awhile, i think so
exactly
Alright, let’s try
maybe you can post a message in #🔔・notifications commenting on the purpose of the new channel
I️ think we should also add a rule if we are to moderate: “If you are continuing to have a conversation on a specific topic and are obstructing normal discourse, please go to #off-topic” idk something like that
Oh yeah woops
Can we get the Rythem bot? Its a music bot that has a command that will bring up the song lyrics
Spanish karaoke!
Can we do a Spanish game night? We always have fun doing the drawing game in a group.
Ooo, now that sounds like something I may be up for
^
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D_O4J1U1Z4 i challenge you to sing this song XD @astral jasper
@deft salmon that's my jam
hahahaah
kid me couldn't get enough of that song 😂
Please refrain from non-suggestions in this channel
Rename #🍁・general-2 to #lounge and place it under #☕・general
dat nostalgia
:')
Aserejé 😛
.iam Spanish Exercises
@timid fox You now have Spanish Exercises role.
theres #🤖・general-bot for those commands 😄
Sorry I must have hide the section lol
haha its fine
welcome to the club
i hope you learn something from the exercises
I propose most frequently asked questions would be pinned😁
There should be a Euro time zone movie squad or something
That would require someone on that timezone to want to host it. We’ll see.
Even if I do end up hosting something, I am way too much into the future.
Ok
It's easy enough to host it. Sometimes people will just watch something and post a link saying anyone who wants to hop in is welcome to.
The thing would be the timezones.
yep
Hm..
We don’t really get people who use the general voice channel to chat while gaming.
That usually happens in the DMs.
Games still happen on here though
there a games channel on the bottom that i didnt realise or was added recently
I don't get why there would be a #🎮・games-juegos but not a game voice channel.
Oh wht
yea if someone makes an announcement for what time it's going on; i'd hop on
@knotty dust You now have Spanish Native role.
hey I think the #🍁・general-2 channel was a success after all 😃
Kick JP, he's mean
Lol

Confirm pls
confirm while he is gone

If you guys want to have an easier Spanish chat channel, maybe restrict it to learners and specific people so it doesn't just become a duplicate of the regular Spanish chat?
ok
m-maybe
Its tricky because if you restrict it to learners, it becomes an echo chamber of non-native Spanish. I realize you meant that some natives would be in there too, I only warn that this could backfire and it could end up being predominantly non natives producing and reinforcing non native Spanish with each other. There is also another problem: the more simply you speak, the more people can understand but the less you can say, and the less you can actually talk about (leading back to our original problem; not enough non natives speaking). How do we balance this line? Also, if its too hard people may not learn, but if its too easy they also won't learn. So how simple would we want to be so that its just above everyone's level?
I'm going to think about all of this too, as I'd like to get more learners in a Spanish room too. #teamSpanish2
We have that covered
The mods and the natives know that we’re going to keep our topics simpler and easier to understand.
I think the native speaker’s involvement will help keep it from devolving into an “echo-chamber”, as you put it.
The problem with the other chat was the amount of slang from all these Spanish-speaking countries.
As well as conversations about politics in those countries.
That was all directed at Chi and their suggestion btw I didn't get the impression you guys were restricting it to non natives, you guys did what I was in favor of (keeping natives but speaking simpler)
I'll just trust the mod team to keep things going smoothly 😛
I though the #☕・general chat is too much used by English natives, also by people who want to learn English, and the #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner is becoming unuseful, I though we should move languages to their respective channel and use less the #☕・general chat.
Honestly, #☕・general is literally just for general talk. The only way #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner is going to be popular is if someone initiates a decent conversation that is not too much on the general scale of things.
It really falls down to the fact that most of the people here are native English speakers so there tends to be more English conversations going on
There's 870 people with the English native role and 619 people with the Spanish native role
Also 157 with the fluent English role and 47 with the fluent Spanish role
The English speakers may be more active during parts of the day as well.
The purpose of #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner is to provide a place for easy English conversation should a) a Spanish native ever desire that and b) #☕・general is too fast at that time for that learner. Obviously these two conditions are not filled often enough to have #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner see much activity
.
#☕・general is a channel where all normal topics of conversation are allowed (as long as they don't break the rules). Talk about learning Spanish, talk about learning English, talk about aliens invading earth, whatever, and you can do it in English or Spanish. #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner exists because it's a good idea to exist, even if it doesn't see much activity.
Do we have a tag to contact people for a gaming session? Can we create one if we don't have one, please?
I gave you the games role @graceful trellis
yeah, i think in the description of #🎮・games-juegos there should be instructions to do .iam games to get notified
Gracias. ❤
Good idea 14
are the maximum channels literally just joke channels?
I have seen people join them but I am not sure if they are aware of the limited space.
They were meant to be so that a few people can have a spot to chat without too many people joining
I assume max 1 is a joke one though
Oh we have one like that
it is Santa's lair
We're in the pleasant position to announce that New Game! is the very first server (afawk) with voice channel XP- VC XP are finally here!
It took a while mainly because we were doing other things but we made it!
Quick rundown on how it works;
• You get 5-15 VC XP once per minute.
• In order to get XP you need to talk at least once in that minute.
• You get the same NGC rewards as the ones you get on text XP with the exception of level 3.
• People that sit on their own in a vc, talking to themselves pretty much, to farm XP, will not be gaining any.
• If you're muted or defeaned while in a vc you gain no XP at all.
The commands to check your VC rank and levels will be .rank, which will be shown alongside your text XP, and .vclevels respectively.
it's real?
how we can get this bot xd?
umm we would have to add it
I suggest that we should have it xD
Hmm we shall see I'll ask the mods
y quién eres tú 😂
Ño
Me agrada, a ver si conseguimos ese bot
Al final era una sugerencia o un anuncio?
hey that;s bad.
We need gif emojis
Let’s make an advanced English chat!
We need #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner to be alive first 
There really isnt any demand for an advanced English chat
ye
Oh, ok.
Give us monkaS emote.
What's the monkas emote
It's a pepe emote
🐒 here's what I could find
Can there be a channel that is specifically listed as more serious? I want to talk in spanish with people, but I'm not interested in talking about pussy with 14 year old boys (which seems to be what the conversation invariably turns to in the other channels)
umm i havent seen any conversations like that or are you talking in the voice chats?
for real @low vortex ? Ooh, we need names 
yeah the voice channels
oh ok
sadly those are hard to moderate however we do have some voice channels that limit the amount of users so you could always move into there with someone who also wants to talk seriously
hears the p word 
Yeah, I know it's hard to moderate. I was just really frustrated today and thought of maybe there were a "serious" voice channel or something it would dissuade a group of 10 kids from coming in yelling DO YOU LIKE PUSSY
create a vc for trusted users only
I mean, I'm not complaining, if that's what they want to talk about lol
oh i think i was there when that happened
Oh, I think we just had a bunch of trolls. Lo siento.
i banned that user
nice
yea we try to stay on top of stuff like that and if that happens just ping one of use and we can get rid of them
but my best advice is, if you want to have a serious convo with someone move into one of the voice channels that limits the amount of people
Ok
Haha
But yeah @low vortex ping the mods if it happens again, we'll be glad to swing the hammer menacingly 
Notification squad role which we can ping whenever somethings going on like a reading seson or conversation practice or announcements that aren't worth an everyone ping
Ño
Rüde
why not @lusty schooner ? if it's self-assignable u could just take it off
Okñ
jaja
Twas a jok
we need a book channel! to post our reviews and recommendations
Maybe a culture channel for cooking, literature, and artwork?
You practiced with a group setting. 😃
oh yeah but I failed a lot, everyone looking at me while I was talking made me go blank lol
That's a different type of practice, then. Having the spot light on you is hard and it's worse when you're talking in a non-native language.
ikr
and I'm planning to start a live stream, so you're right it's hard practice 👍
wait I just taw a puddy tat 👀
haha
I knew she would come
I'm gonna watch a few cartoons before going to sleep if you guys wanna see me fall asleep live

let's take over the server
zamir .... look at my roles more closely,
server revolution plans go in #☕・general blease
I suggest you make a link and put it in #🎥・movies-anime-pelis !
haha oki just turning on my desktop
creo que nunca pasará, pero un canal #🐸・ꜱᴘ∕principiante_basic en que es obligatorio usar acentos etc
en Spanish_chat hay que cuidar la ortografía, pero no creo que podamos exigir que todos usen los tildes, algunas personas se demoran en dominar eso
Who suggested the Culture chat? That's an interesting idea, i would love to share sometimes something from here
I did. It was well recieved, so maybe we can make it happen.
How about adding a doraemon emoji? :o
What about a Music Exchange Channel, and i asked for this before but they told me to use the music chat but the problem is that Channel should be for the voice chat and another one for music that we like
So your saying, another VC channel labelled something like "music discussion" or smthing?
Specifically a voice channel or a text channel?
text channel, theres already #🎵・songs-videos
Yeah but music is used for the bot mostly
@staff and integrate the welcoming party role with it, it would serve for people to ping to ask questions about the server, pin messages and hold events (like sesion de lectura, game night and movie nights)
And the purpose welcoming party already has
We should have an opt-in channel where we're taught how to swear
#💡・serious-topics is the place you are looking for @coral dagger
how do I join then?
typing .iam no_filter on #🤖・general-bot
thank you!
np!
<@&258806166770024449> As you guys know, there was a server called Ling & Lang, I would like to ask if you guys could put the link in notifications for some time, as the admins there banned everyone because they felt that their actions were unappreciated. There has been a rebuilding of the server and everything is going quite well, that's why I ask
Thanks ~~
Jajaja
Well better haha
I tried to stop you over there but I was too late
I practiced my english anyway
Yeah true 😀
감사합니다
천만에요
Rip lol
Rename welcoming party to Baby Mod
And give it a bright vibrent red
Or the mod purple
I don't get it
Silence, underling.
Giving it a more official title with authority would be nice, though. ❤
💙
So just gonna repost what I said back when sesion de lectura has happening
We could just make two separate groups, the ones that are going to read in spanish and the ones that are going to read in english. Each group has a event planner, maybe tortilla, serene..., and whoever native wants to join so they can have more trustful corrections and advice. Just an opinion though.
Hi zoncluv
Hoi!! nwn :3
I'd be banned already lmao
That would be amazing though
Like they have a I have been warned l tag
I have been warned ll
No, not cool, you're nice and i don't want you as someone bad >:c
Soy un metemierda
Not for me
Thanks for the advice, Watermelon. We had an impromptu session and set it up in five minutes. But you bring up an interesting idea to consider with dividing up people for the session. Also, we will have our regular session on Saturday.
^
The Good thing about the mixed group is that natives can correct your pronunciation
Yep, so there isn't a big chunk of comments
We rely on a native to point out the mistakes
there could also be a "spanish session" and a "sesión de inglés" on a different day
Maybe it would be great that just mods can write in that channel.... So then you won't loose the reading
Following the line of melon de agua
Maybe 3 groups
One for corrections
And the other two to Post there the reading each one in its language channel
But that only mods can write in the last two
Make a Second General VC Channel
@onyx sable I would let people to make comments, it's just the people who want to read in english/spanish and one or two natives to help with the corrections, that is done in separate voice chat typing channels
The odds of having a massive flooded chat are literally above 1%
below*
Yes.... You got me
I always win
You think so
I believe it is vital to have the halal emoji, whoever supports me give me a reaction. Without halal we are kinda behind other servers.
@haughty goblet @lusty schooner
No! 😡
🍪 | Fbihi has given @astral jasper a cookie
See
what...
Is the voice worthy channel ever going to be made live? It's tiring to have to constantly leave a channel because of people being just super childish and rude
Its for people with the voice worthy role
If you have the voice worthy role then you can access it
Well then I woudl like to request the role
ahhhh gracias
ask any mod or welcoming party if you want to add someone there to talk to you @low vortex
or anyone
I Just want to have a conversation with somebody that lasts more than two minutes before they start criticizing how I sound, but it appears impossible in a normal channel with the younger crowd haha
they just "shittalk" yeah
why is it so hard to have a normal conversation?
my suggestion: Behave guys! It's a language learning server
Top tier admin right here^
That attitiude it's not appropriated for a learning Server... How can you learn something without mistakes.... Damn
Some people are just jerks, ignore them.
have you ever thought about something like "General_English", "General_Spanish" (to take the place of spanish chat advanced), "English_Practice", "Spanish_Practice" (to take the place of english_chat and spanish_chat)?
@low vortex
Good idea...
Xxxxx_practice
It Would be for people willing to teach and to learn
and english practice and spanish practice can have a descirption saying you should use proper english/spanish etc
to help people practice
It might at least help clarify channel purposes and make people more willing to use them
very good ideas 
Would General Eng / Span be like general is now (allowing both languages, but in this case focusing on their primary lang) or would they be 1 language like spanish_advanced
I would go for a general spanish, general english, a practice channel for each one and a spanish only english only place, where you are forced to use it.
If you have too many channels that are too similar, you'll end up with lots of dead channels like now
True
i dont think we have that many dead channels 🤔
not yet at least, either way, I support the idea of english_general, spanish_general, spanish_practice, english_practice
I think #📝・correct-me-please was made for that exact porpuse you mentioned at the end laguna, the difference being that it was for both, depending on which language you were discussing right now
Problem is, people began to use it more like spanish and english questions
true
yeah i think it's good to have a place for paragraphs though, even if it's not used as much
maybe we just need to rename it :?
or redo the descrip
Probably, for it to work you need commited spanish and english speakers that follow the majority of the discussion to correct it
And that one is hard tbh
I suggest more learning activities
I would implement a leveling system that encourages people to talk in here and help others, just to make this server more alive. This is just a suggestion, having tags depending on how much you have stayed here and special tags for those who help would push this server forward. IMO
Tatsu already does the leveling thing. Now if you want it to just level you by only speaking your target language, i think that can't be done
I wanted to make one too melonsan but then I realized Tatsu had a loy of those features already .. HOWEVER
Then I found out tatsy makes levels meaningless, so maybe Ill reimplement my ideas
Put the rules in English and Spanish perhaps?
Maybe something like this would make each channel's purpose more explicit and therefore more likely to be used. https://pastebin.com/uXPqxhnf
Maybe change "LEARNING" to "RESOURCES" and put session de lectura into "practice"
I agree
Yes, a book club channel. It wouldn't be just posting a novel, but also discussing the novels we're reading.
Or a dedicated channel works ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I want to suggest the translate bot, which is gonna be very helpful in case we don't know a specific word or want to know the meaning in different languages
The usage is simple just type ":t" followed by a space and the language you want to translate the sentence to and then simply add the sentence, it looks something like this:
:t español "sentence"
k!es sandía
- La fruta de la planta de la sandía (Citrullus vulgaris), con una corteza verde y una pulpa acuosa de color rojo brillante cuando está madura y contiene pepas negras.
- La fruta de la planta de la sandía (Citrullus vulgaris, Citrullus lanatus), con una corteza verde y una pulpa acuosa de color rojo brillante cuando está madura y contiene pepas negras.
- The fruit of the watermelon plant (Citrullus vulgaris), having a green rind and watery flesh that is bright red when ripe and contains black pips.

I suggest that 14 chills out 
I suggest that JP and 14 have a final boss fight at the final destination

the fight will be scheduled for next week tho 
How about a language channel under the umbrella of Culture?
what do you mean @graceful trellis
Someone had messaged me suggesting a new section of Culture with food, art, and language. Not sure if would regularly use those, but thought maybe a Language-Culture channel could be cool. Not sure if one of our other channels fits that need, so wondering what others thought.
but what's meant by language culture
Well, the idea was having a category of Culture (Like Learning, Entertainment, etc.), and Language being one of the channels within it.
I was concerned we would have too many channels that barely get used if we seperated them like that, but was curious what others thought.
where ppl speak other languages you mean? honestly I'm not a huge fan of the idea
I don’t think there needs to be subcategories, we also have the off_topic channel where you can talk about other languages and stuff like that
I thought it might be a cool idea to have a channel for Spanish Music where people can post links to songs that they like. Of course there could be an English Music channel too. We have something similar on the Catalan-English server, just thought I'd suggest it here. I always love getting new music recommendations! ❤
although I guess this kinda fits in the video_memes_media category, just a lil more specific...oh well...just thought I'd throw it out there 😄
We have the #🎵・songs-videos channel. Hop in and look around. If you need a tag for it, there should be instructions in #📜・rules . 😃
ohhhh thanks @graceful trellis I guess i just don't see it without the tag 💔
Heyy. I wanna learn Spanish. Just started Memrise. Plan to be self taught. Got no time for offline courses :( is there anything that can supplement Memrise/duolingo for someone who's planning to learn from scratch online?
Thanks
To move #👚・outfit-skincare to the social category
makes sense 
I'm not sure if there is one already, but a book club role might be nice
Yeah, that'd be great. But we'd also need to pick a day to discuss the book in our target language.
Weekly Veggietales kareoke
Why not have the discussion in both languages at the same time? A sort of free for all. /s 🤔
We should get :kappawithit:
Discussion about books I meant 😄
Please add this bot

ub3r is not in #🤖・general-bot though iirc, so ppl would have to spam this bot in other channels. i mainly see it in #🐸・ꜱᴘ∕principiante
If it’s a single and relevant translation, i don’t see the problem.
But i think UB3R would be better for learners, since it shows you both syntax and tildes.
Syntax being “¿” goes before “?”
Tildes being the ones in cómo and estás.
The way that translator translates it's so easy
I know that we've a bot that translates
But I was thinking about something more handy
.tr es @onyx sable I don't see a problem with Ub3r's translation. What do you mean?
@onyx sable no veo un problema con la traducción de Ub3r. ¿Qué quieres decir?

With translator
You just react with the flag of the language that you want to translate
You don't need to COPY and PASTE the whole message
i think that might interfere with our introductions channel lol
since ppl like to react w flags
Just don't give it perms to #🌈・introduce-yourself
^^^^ Better
I suggest more 8balls

we should have a word of the day channel :O
I agree with you @astral jasper , word of the day together with the sentence also
Yeah! I want like a challenge to use it in a sentence once or twice in the server too ^^
Quiero proponer algo, hay que cambiar la forma en que se juzga antes de banear a alguien, porque no es completamente preciso y es falaz pensar que la gente siempre dirá la verdad, porque alguien puede de repente estar molesto con alguien y puede abrir la boca y terminar baneando a alguien inocente.
hey mi buen, siempre revisamos todos los casos y hallamos evidencia, no te preocupes, no baneamos a nadie solo porque alguien nos dijo cosas malas de el. También estamos en comunicación con otros servidores de idiomas y compartimos puntos de vista, listas de usuarios problema, etc.
@kindred basin Please do not spam.
Except I wasn't?
You should add a second General VC
There's already voice worthy (request the role to use that channel) and the English or Spanish only channels
Server location has now been set to US South.
I think US south will benefit us
I think nothing will benefit me

For when people want to be tagged about food-things. Thoughts?
(To be clear: one cookie react = yes)
Hello guys
please go to #☕・general to chat with people, this is for suggestions only @stable gulch
Okay, I'm sorry
There happened a spamfest in the general leat. This ordeal should have been handled by a bot tasked with dealing quick law to whoever posts that much writ in such a short time or edposts the same thing several times.
The problem with that is whenever Theres a heated discussion people usually get wrongfully muted, if that could somehow be fixed I would be all for it
If a bot detects the same message spammed a bunch of times, that could probably be a pretty easy trigger
I.e. paste the same message at least three times in a row in two seconds
Do we have any mods based in europe or asia? maybe someone from there who is online often and readily available during those hours could be modded if detecting spam is more difficult.
Suggestion: can we have a channel for animals. I keep wanting to link a lot of things to do with animal videos/pictures/etc but I feel like it goes in so many different channels and I don't want to feel like I'm spamming or posting in the wrong place
and we could also make use of the cats/dogs tag. People can also post pictures of their pets. A lot of other discords I'm in have a channel like this and it is the best thing since sliced bread.
we had one 😂
haha
no one used it
but feel free to post all of that on #😂・memes
we would love cute animal content 
@pure thorn 
we did!? ah that's too bad no one used it... I would use it all day everyday xD. okay, thanks.
I would use it too ^^
I've been here for over 6 months and I have not seen any such channels ever 
Mhhhum
Ahh yes I remember that one

We will be starting a new activity called Talk To Me. This activity will allow a member to say he or she wants to communicate with a native in their target language. This is a great way to get more help and improve our language skills, and members can help each other every day!
To call a Spanish native, the tag will be: Talk To Me in Spanish
To call an English native, the tag will be: Talk To Me in English
Thus you must add in the tag of your native language so you get called for the right one!
Put in your vote to see if you like this idea so we can create the tags. If you have any questions, ping @graceful trellis .
En español (Gracias a JP):
Vamos a empezar una nueva actividad llamada Talk To Me. Está actividad le va a permitir a los miembros decir si quieren comunicarse con un nativo en su lenguaje objetivo. Esta es una buena manera para obtener más ayuda y mejorar nuestras habilidades de inglés/español.
Para hablar con un nativo del español, la etiqueta será: Talk To Me in Spanish.
Para hablar con un nativo del inglés será: Talk To Me In English
Tienes que agregarte la etiqueta de tu lenguaje nativo si deseas que te llamen para practicar tu idioma.
Pongan su voto por medio de reacciones para ver si creamos las etiquetas. Si tienen preguntas @graceful trellis

(Please don't actually assign them here, I'm just trying to show them, use #🤖・general-bot or #🙋・welcome)
As there are people here that are not inclined to seeing any other languages than spanish and english, could we have a safe room for whatever languages we want to use once in a while with our native friends?
This is an English-Spanish server...
^ While this is an admirable idea for certain servers, our server focuses solely on English and Spanish. If you wish to communicate in a certain language, I would recommend joining that specific server to have a safe place to talk in that specific language.
We've had this idea arise before, but our Moderators feel it distances from the objective of the server. It's also hard to moderate the activity and safety of our users if we cannot understand what is written. We hope you understand and enjoy your time in our server, new member!
Since the idea arise before, if someone mentions it again, could it be given a second thought?
maybe not someone, but maybe 2-3 other people?
No.
It has been brought up in the past but the mods have already decided that we just want to focus on English and Spanish.
We just don’t want to clutter the channel list with channels that aren’t 100% relevant or at least helpful to learning.
I was one of the people who had suggested it before. The response I was given is the same one you're being given now. I ended up joining a server for the specific language I wanted to talk in and it turned out really, really well for me. So I'm not sure if there's a true need for the channel when the solution is very easy.
hello
exactly and a channel like that would be really hard to moderate since our mods only speak english and spanish
@covert pond Hello. Do you have a suggestion for us?
about what?
oh, this is the suggestion channel 😄
if you want to just chat you should probably go to #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner 👍
Casual conversation goes in any of our chatter channels.
I guess nobody read my "once in a while", so the discussion looks like it's over
We have a large number of channels in this server. I'm not sure why we would discuss a channel that would only be used "once in a while."
Once in a while for me, once in a while for him, once in a while for her, once in a while for them... that can be used as often as many other channels, and we all know there are channels that are listed here and aren't used much
But whatever, right?
yes the big reason like i said is moderating that channel and this is a spanish-english server so we dont want to mix other languages here
I think we all are able to pm mods if someone is not following the rules
The reason the mods are trying to get at is that it would mever be used, people come here to learn Spanish and English so all they expect and want to learn is Spanish and/or English, once in awhile we'll have someone who speaks another language which is all fine and dandy however once a server starts going off in too many directions it losses its main focus.
"which is all fine"
I wished it was
I said 2 sentences and got stopped
not even 2 sentences
¯_(ツ)_/¯ probably wasnt relevant to the discussion
LOL
yes because you just joined the server so i just mentioned it
i wasnt even aggressive about it
Those were the first words you said
nope
well idk, i had never seen you here before so yea lol
Appears to be French
yea its ok man
this got a bit too heated
lets just leave it here, we discussed this as mods and decided its not what we need on this server, sorry if you dont like that.
Not heated
and it's not the decision that I don't like, it's the reasons
but yeah fine
alright well im sorry about that
if you want i can reccomend a good french server
sorry thas my canadian instinct kicking in
i always have to say sorry
#🍁・general-2 was created for people to talk about more technical topics, usually programming
and it can be used as an overflow channel when #☕・general gets too full
ok thanks
For a list of other language exchange servers, see: https://discord.gg/DxSgKdP
Bringing it up because that's part of the reason that an other languages channel has been declined, is that whatever language people want to speak, there's already a server which you could use to talk to people on
Maybe we need a duolingo discussion server?
hhmm what do you mean?
there is a duolingo server
if thats what you mean @proven island
Do you mean channel?
Ok, I’m an idiot guys, sometimes I cant distinguish the difference between server and channel. I sincerely apologize. Anyways, yes, channel
hmm im not sure if it would be very usefull
like if you have a question about something that confuses you on duolingo theres #📗・preguntas-lounge and #📝・correct-me-please
Alright thanks 🙏
useful only has one l, laurensito @haughty goblet
Quadruple oof
even now that discord has spellcheck i still cant win
Lol
Like half the server is a duolingo hater
i don't hate it, per se...
i just outgrew it
before i could even finish the tree
also it did frustrate me, the order of the courses
I should've said half the server thinks it lacks usefulness as a serious learning tool
did teach me a ton of my starting vocab though
and how to conjugate quickly
bc i was like ughhhhh this is so long, time for a speedrun
I did it for about 3 months and couldnt distinguish habla vs hablo
Just watch los programas españoles 🌞
I said "yo habla español" back then
all you have to do is open yr language learning third eye
It legit did not teach me that
I used the website and app
Lets go to #☕・general
Seeing what is going on in #☕・general right now I think it would be a great idea to have some sort of #language_discussion text channel
#🍁・general-2 works for that
I mean, I'm just guessing it would be a dead channel
sooner or later
You can talk about a football game but not languages in a language server's general channel? 🤔
May you please Fix @hot monolith or kill it xD you might also add to Rythm (@Rythm#3722)
=leave
You lack the music.leave permission.
=quit
=leave
You lack the music.leave permission.
@onyx sable She is bound to that channel perhaps.
@onyx sable Do an @ mod and have one of the mods kick her out of the server.
They can then have her re-join.
It appears she is not bound to that channel but is not accepting commands properly.
@graceful trellis Can you kick Ayana from the server. She is "stuck".
Pardon me? From the server?
#SaveAyana
I moved her from Music to Karaoke
I could report her to the Ayana support channel ... but it seems @graceful trellis it attempting to fix the problem.
you might still want to report it
You can still report it, please.
i never use the bot so im not sure
Yes I could and they would terminate the process.
But ... I'd be overstepping my lowly pleb boundries.
😃
Ok, I have to feed goats. See you later, tomorrow perhaps.
bye
Thank you señor !

@haughty goblet
For excercises. Maybe some beginner type excercises into conversations? If that makes sense? I mean... I know words and things but I have a hard time making sentences that I didn't learn from Duolingo and making the sentences on the spot like I'm actually talking to someone. So maybe a beginner conversation fill in the blank type thing would help?
Hey good idea @peak sigil I'll try to work on something like that
Let’s rename culture channel to HELL’S KITCHEN! XD
I concur, lets make an idiot sandwhich
Hahah
What does himebot add to the server?
Lyrics
Music
And it doesn't have limit
About time in songs
I'm testing it out in one server
It's pretty nice.
Ohh is there a time limit for music with the current bot?
Basically, replace our music bot with this?
I've seen troubles when the song is long
Sorry for not responding to the earlier suggestion but how does this bot compare to lyric bot?
And ok, I’ll try out the bot too
The main plus is the command ".lyrics [song name]"
That’s for himebot?
Yes
And if you add the bot, I'd also suggest to create a new text channel just for the lyrics
I think we could use the music channel for the lyrics.
With the logs of the bots
They lyrics will be lost easily
And my main idea is improve your language through lyrics and music
We’ll think about it. We just want to make sure we don’t have too many channels.
Alright
Lyrics are probably only relevant for the three-ish minutes that the song is playing
I don’t think there will be a need to ever go back and try to find old lyrics
You can just call them again if you play the song a second time
It would be cool to get a bot which automatically looked up lyrics based on the song playing
can the spanish_questions and english_questions channels be kept a bit cleaner? It's often hard to tell if a question has even been answered among all the weird memes and stuff.
yes I agree, Amaroq, we should be more stern with the stuff that is said in those channels
can u change one of the channels "maximun 2 or 3" and do it for maximun 5 or 6?
There is one max 5 channel
@astral jasper you should probably ask that question in #📗・preguntas-lounge this is the suggestions channel
It might be nice to add a tag for people to show what level of learner they are in their language. For example, Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced learner.
I would like that, since I don't consider myself fluent enough for the 'Fluent Spanish' tag but I'm pretty advanced
Make a .iam bird tag, por favor. This channel is lleno de caw-caws.
I'm agree with that suggestion
I believe the cat and dog roles are only there as a remnant of some old animal pictures channel
i support the .iam bird tag
me 2 supporting bird tag
i think the bird tag is the best action for this server to take
Yeah i agree i would use that tag if it existed
No tag.
bird racist
Very.
.iam bird-ist
@barren mortar which channel ?
@lusty venture , I suggest I share some of my clothes with you so we can be proper twins.
Just out of curiosity, could y'all make a .iam black and/or .iam African American tag?
We’re not sure how that would benefit the server. Race is irrelevant in this server. We’re all very diverse here.
Please stick to suggestions in this channel.
k
@graceful trellis I don't have enough curves tho
Neither do I. 😛
suggestion: explain
@lusty venture Refer to my last message.
I was replying to a suggestion 
You guys can rename #📚・lectura-text-1 to sesión_de_lectura now
Accents are allowed in text chats now
@graceful trellis can I do it pls^
@lusty venture , let's do it! 😄
@astral jasper , thanks for letting us know!! 😍
Aww you did it before I could
Can we have girl/boy roles? Could be useful for some users
Why is that? 😮
that's why is a suggestion
it's a common mistake but I think some people won't set that role.
a user has mentioned he would like to have it, in voice text 1
because he had trouble speaking to a girl ..or? :/
you're right, sorry
do we even have a discussion place btw?
yes, it is call "general"
anyway, once again, Can we have girl/boy roles? Could be useful for some users
Voo de faak pinged
:| that was my idea
And I said genres roles
No boy/girk
That's offensive for people who had problems
oh my gosh
I think nobody did roles like this, because perhaps a lot of confusion/problems will occur from it
ok, you two have this conversation, I'm out
lol 😂
-_-
its weird that someone offers a suggestion and doesn't allow people to discuss it
no i'm not talking about you chiliarca hahaha
isn't this supposed to be a place where it doesn't matter which gender you are? we all share the same goal and that is learning a language
who the hell cares if you're a girl or a boy then? or am I wrong? don't know 😂
Heh
Amen!!!
i've just been called 50 today 😂 right babel? hahaha
And I'm a biological boy
it's okay, we're not supposed to judge about that.
That's too sarcastic
no i actually mean it 😃
The excess or sarcasm means a posible excess of stupidity
jajajja that's right!! we all laugh about it, what's the matter?
Not sure if I'm being called sarcastic or not 😂
ooohh now I know why they thought you were 9
how 😮
to be honest, even though I joke. I still really don't care which gender you are and I'm sure as hell not judging you 😃
I was saying it to Babel
it's ok, let's the Admin decide that, and the users if use it or not. : )
Maybe making CEFR roles like A1-2, B1-2, C1-2 so you know the person helping you is reputable
We thought about doing that but people would just be able to assign whatever level they want. And it would be really hard to check it because most people don't take actually tests
i know on the korean server there is a test given by the mentors
this is a really not necessary addition, however it could be useful in some situations for corrections. Having self-assigned tags for what dialect of Spanish you are learning, for example, if you are learning Latin American Spanish, a native knows to correct you to ustedes and if you are learning Spain Spanish they know to correct you to Vosotros.
April Fools Joke Idea: Everyone start speaking French in this server
and also change the icon to a French flag
for the whole day
and change the name to "English-French Learning Server"
Or Spanish - French
Or switch places with r/french 
Ouais j'suis d'accord avec ça
Je suis d'accord 👌
c marrant ça
Learn a lang & ling and lang did that
A role for telling people to correct you if you mess up
The problem is nobody ever looks at the roles
Could be more affective if you were to put "Correct me please" in your nickname
c:
c:
@spiral oak does that, and he's great at taking the help without feeling offended. Super amazing almost-Dad! 😃
"What do I do?" @spiral oak
You put the (correct me) in your username so people know you want your English corrected while we're talking. 😃
The person above was wondering if a role is helpful for that, but the suggestion of putting it directly in your username (Like you famously do!!!) is a great way to let others know you want to be corrected.
You can say, "What did I do?" if you did something and someone is commenting on it, like I was doing.
Or you can say, "What? I do what?" That's is more informal and used in speech/talking and less in written conversations. That implies you're still doing something and someone is talking about it. The first part "What?" is like getting someone's attention. Then asking what you do that they are talking about: "I do what?"
Ok, it's important to know that speech can be a little bit different from writing
I swore this channel was general 😂
add this emote please
cuando gane un oscar
tienes motivos profundos, se tendrá en consideración
dios te bendiga
We could but I think we’re full of emotes so we’d have to choose one to delete ✂
I notice there are 4 emojis that seem to be nothing but colored rectangles, but that also happen to correspond to the color coding our names use (
is listed as "emojispanish" , for instance). Is there some deeper importance / meaning behind them that I'm missing?
Delete Xavier
If we delete the colour emojis, this server will stop working and explode.
ah, so not important then
#230832 📣 Name Colors 😃
: Green - Spanish speaker
: Blue - English Speaker
: Orange - Not a native speaker in either
: Purple - Moderator
Ahh there
Technically I could make an image out of that and host it somewhere, then attach it to a Nadeko command... But, definitely not for that emoji 
to be clear, I don't want that emojii either, but it got me thinking about what could be freed up for future emojis
https://i.imgur.com/Wzy5eQD.png japanese server did it that way juan
I could write it up this weekend maybe
H-hopefully this saves you a step
... colores
#230831 📣 Significado de los colores 😃
: Verde - Hispanohablante
: Azul - Angloparlante
: Naranja - Otro idioma que no es inglés o español
: Morado - Moderador

done, and it has the same north, west, and south "margins" for consistency shiza I accidentally pasted it with a white border
then again, maybe a white border is more stylish
de natha
What do people think about removing the colons in the color picture?
Also I think I like the one with the border better, that looks super cool

Yes, it was a mistake on my part that I was too lazy to correct
Hahah... The shame 

mucha gente no ve los roles, mejor que lo tengan en el nick
En el servidor Japanes si tienes el emoji 📝 significa que quiere ser corregido
Podemos hacer eso 🤔
that looks cool
Buena idea!
Esta bien chevere eso
Hola! He estado pensando sobre la canal de ejercicios en espanol, y pienso que deberia haber mas ejercicios en el futuro para ayudar a otros y a yo. Y tambien quizas podria haber una canal de ejercicios en ingles para ayudar a los nativos de espanol
El canal*
i wish i had the energy to make more exercises but ive really hit a low on that front. maybe one day ill get back into it
Buscamos voluntarios que quieran hacerlos /
We're looking for volunteers that want to make/post exercises
@dreamy folio I think if you escape the 📝 (ie, writing \\📝) then it can be copied as its unicode version instead of its discord version from the message you posted (I just tested this in general and it seemed to work)
Yeah there’s many ways to do it but I tried to keep the message in #🔔・notifications as basic as possible, and then if people still can’t figure it out hopefully someone else in the server can help when they see a : pencil: in someone’s name
oh I just meant editing "Introducing the “correct me” emoji: 📝!" to "Introducing the “correct me” emoji: \📝"
I just copied it from someone else's name lol
since the latter can be copied and pasted directly
also in terms of exercises, this subreddit has a decent back log of essay prompts https://www.reddit.com/r/TowerOfBabylon/
