Bias. Cognitive bias
Thats good news. You get to listen to more podcasts.
@pure spindle will continue in here as that channel is for questions so don't want to bog it down with chitchat, but always been interested in russian, but don't want to distract from learning spanish too much
We can practice both if you do VCs. I'm not a big fan of texting that's why while I'm at it, I'm a bit taciturn.
that's fine, that could be interesting, can't do it tonight though, girlfreind is in bed and don't want to wake her up, but if i get into russian and you're happy to help i'd be up for it
That sounds good. I can't VC today either. Let's put it down for tomorrow.

Hey I'm from the UK and planning on working in Spain this summer, does anyone know the process of this because I'm a little confused on which one i need to apply for
It's not an exempt job as it will be a bar or hotel and it will be less than the 90 period
The paperwork is very confusing 😂

Is anyone here from Spain awake
Why
Im asking because i want to move to a “cheaper” country without contributing to gentrification
Im trying to someday leave the US due to costs. Inflation here sucks
do you think the lines of gentrification are only racial? because i doubt you share a culture with spain, you'd likely be contributing to gentrifying them were you to move there

Oh but regarding your question, I mean, it's up to you, right? You're the one who wants to learn those languages for some reason or another, maybe you want to prioritize one of them more than the others, or maybe you want to study 2 that are similar, or on the contrary study 2 that aren't similar at all (?

Chicos tengo una pregunta
Si eres adolescente, ¿crees que está bien distanciarte de los adultos (aunque sean tus padres) que te hacen sentir mal, son groseros contigo y perturban tu paz? Gritan, insultan, te critican duramente, son malos y reactivos, te menosprecian, te sientes mal con ellos, etc. Como si fueran físicamente agresivos e intentaran hacerte daño, como si te dieran una bofetada.
Y ser menospreciado y criticado duramente.
Independientemente de que sean tus padres, amigos, o inclusivo hermanos, nunca deberías estar cerca de una persona que te hace daño, por más lazos o raíces que tengas
lo importante eres tú
<@&583625576212987915> why does google say you eat so much goddamn bread a year. in what form? why do you like bread so much? i neeeeeeeeed answers
we eat marraqueta
the best bread in the world
and also eat a lot of bread for everything
in the dinner
yeah basically
so just bread with every meal
id say those are the 2 most popular, marraqueta and hallulla
a lot of chileans have a piece of bread with most of the stuff they eat
i think its just a cultural thing bc i dont really like bread that much
but it's always on the table
that’s actually really crazy lmao like its a LOT
also a lot of chilean families have ''once'' instead of dinner and its like breakfast but more diverse
and of course theres a lot of bread there too
yes
yea isnt it just bread and palta and stuff
pan con palta 
with a bunch of stuff but yeah palta is very popular
also kinda expensive nowadays lol
what else would you have at an once
café
you could have eggs instead of avocado
or both if it's a good day
It's like the common to eat bread at every meal in the day, and if you want a snack too
for me it's just pan con huevo and café
it can get way more diverse depending on who you ask it to though
wait coffee
MARRAQUETITA RICA
when are you eating this meal
for some people it replaces dinner and they go heavier on it, for some it doesnt and they go lighter
6 is a pretty common time to do it
but a lot of ppl do it at 8 pm
yes sir
100% normal here
are you guys up all night partying every night????
ah
people drink normal coffee too
bruh
I eat bread everyday
i mean its as weird for u as having hasbrowns onions sausage and bacon for breakfast is for us
3 hallulas 
Uy no, una coliza tostada
it’s only weird cause of the caffeine

guess people are just built different here
ig
Anoche de puro antojo toste un pancito
props to you guys
Y lo comí solo
id never do it though lol
it doesnt need to be coffee though
people have tea, milk, hot chocolate etc a bunch of stuff
Every text channel I move to talk, I see someone with the Spanish virus
the what😭
Me
What do you mean???
Es que el pancito es rico
People talk in a Spanish that makes it difficult to understand for those who don't know
Yeah and? Please don't forget this is a español-english server
They're allowed to talk in spanish
How about having separate channels for each language? People who know Spanish can speak English, but people who speak English may not know Spanish
@deft dune Comments such as "Spanish virus" aren't allowed here, please check again our rules #📜・rules
We have that, if you want to speak ONLY in english you can go to these channels #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner #🐬・ᴇɴ∕advanced
Not everyone knows english, we're all here to learn
So be respectful
I might not prefer to learn things at a beginner channel, but when in advanced, I see the same people talking about things that I don't find interesting or worth learning. As for general channels, they have a high variety of people talking, so things are a bit easier there. but, many of them choose to talk in Spanish
Okay, that was part of my joke. I didn't know it would offend someone.
They can choose to talk in spanish or english in general channels, as I said, if you ONLY want to speak and have conversations in english these are your channels #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner #🐬・ᴇɴ∕advanced
Well, that kind of joke isn't allowed here, keep that to yourself
Bread in Chile is truly good. I’d say just as or perhaps even better than German. There are a lot of types, so you always find something to please your palate. Also, it doesn’t have sugar like the American one and it’s mostly just flour, yeast and water, besides some variations that use vegetable lard as ingredient for added tastiness. I’d definitely recommend trying it, if you have the chance if travelling. Marraqueta and Dobladitas are so good.
Ps, in Chile, at least in Santiago, it’s easy to find bread from all around the world as well, with the original recipes, so you can add that to the mix.
I cannot go back. I learnt to make marraquetas, dobladita, and everything else in my first month here. I went to a panadería near a friend’s house and asked them if they could teach me. The guy was nice and said yes.
🤣🤣
But yes, I don’t think you’ll find anybody who’s tried it who says it’s bad. All my other non-Chilean friends love it as well. Even my family when they came loved it. My dad still talks about “that amazing bread” (marraqueta) and he isn’t really a bread person.
Es que siii, es muy rico el pan acá
Sobretodo cuando está recién salido del horno

Perfecto para la once
Que genial que vinieran tus papás a verte 
wow, thank you so much for that enlightening information. I had absolutely no idea! Your help has truly been eye opening
I actually appreciate the reminder to be respectful, even if it means keeping harmless jokes to myself. I will make sure to tread lightly in the future
We can't do anything else about that, if you don't like to see other people speaking in spanish you can move to a channel that is for english conversations, it's not the first time that I've seen you complaining about that
Don't forget that everyone is here to learn
There's a reason for the name of this server "spanish-english"

.hug @ivory nacelle @split monolith debo hablar con ambos después 
Thank you for the clarification! I was unaware that expressing a preference for English conversations in an English-Spanish server was such a novel concept. It's truly enlightening to know that my options are either silence or relocation. Much appreciated 🙂
Time to leave General for the Spanish army
general is literally in english right now
Yay, we got temporary freedom!
again there are channels that are always in english
But for general chat, let's mix it up and keep everyone guessing! Because who needs clarity and straightforward communication anyway, right?
yeah
that's like the point of general
do you expect people to always speak english or something?
Shouldn't General be separate too?
General becomes 100% Spanish and disrupts anyone who talks in English

It doesn't disrupts
What's the point of having a mixed channel when people just don't know Spanish?
it shifts and honestly is usually in english
a lot of people do know spanish
on a wider scale, the internet is mixed, and some of it is in spanish
even though you don't know it
pretty crazy
No, it isn't. It just takes one word and the whole conversation turns into 100% Spanish speakers
They're here to learn spanish too, it's good to practice here #☕・general
but the server is mostly occupied by english natives
it's true that it's in spanish sometimes
but it's usually in english
also, if you just went in there and said something in english, people would respond to you in english
English is common between everyone, but Spanish isn't. How can we have an important channel mixed when anyone can turn it into Spanish?\
just use a translator
What makes you think that? There are people here that came to learn english too, they can be beginners so they use spanish because it's their main language
They don't it gets ignored in the herd of Spanish speakers. So, no one ever starts to initiate the conversation in English and just move most of the time, it switches to Spanish
I am tired of using it everytime it takes lots of efforts
then come back when the conversation is in english
we were talking english earlier
Anyways, if you don't want to see spanish just ignore it or go to channels that are for english conversations, if you don't like it we can't do anything about it, this is a español-english learning server
So they should converse in the language they want to learn, but they just don't get the chance and it starts in Spanish which they find comfortable
Lmao, ping me if that happens; I will make a special appointment for that golden opportunity
I'm finishing this conversation, if you can't understand I can't do much about it because I already explained to you 
you were in the chat but you were talking about how it bothered you that we were learning spanish instead of more english words
and we were talking in english with some spanish words we were testing out

Mhm, podría tener días mejores ngl, pero viva, normal. And u?
of course! Because who needs clarity and separate channels when we can all just wade through a sea of languages in general lol? I get that, Thank you for your time
:c Espero que mejore pronto, mi día va bien la verdad
It's just two languages, no one has ever had an issue and this server has seen over a 100k users
besides if you're here, you're probably interested in lesrning one of the two, therefore neither bother anyone
thats why people join
plus there are plenty of servers on discord that are only in english
why come into the english spanish one and then complain about the spanish
Those who want to learn Spanish likely already know English to understand the meaning of Spanish words. But, those who want to learn only English and not Spanish may not always share this commonality. So, the conclusion is that Spanish learners can use English to learn Spanish, but the same does not apply for English learners using Spanish. So, a mixed general channel doesn't make much sense because Spanish learners will inevitably use English to learn, whereas that's not true for English learners
tried my best to learn, but unfortunately, I couldn't, so I eventually had to quit, So I ended up with advancing my English vocabs hre
Yeah, I have been to those servers, but there were more toddlers than adults, so I didn't get much to learn. It was so crowded that we could hardly read any messages, and it got old quickly. Some servers I joined were inactive, but recently I found a new one. Let's see what happens there
Or maybe Discord isn't the best place to learn, at least for me
join a server that isn't stupid then
how are they supposed to learn english if they cant use spanish? especially if spanish is their first language
really either use a translator or chat when english is spoken which is often
They can learn English by practicing and immersing themselves in English conversations, not relying solely on Spanish every time. Personally, I learned English through immersion, practice, and exposure without relying on my first language. However, in general discussions, it always shifts to Spanish, and I don't see much effort to learn English because all the sentences are in Spanish I don't get what are they actually learning.
I will just have to rely on Google Translate or wait for those rare moments when English actually gets a chance to shine haha👍
its in english rn
thanks!
👍
i’ll need to try and make it here if i can
idk how hard it is
like do you guys make it yourself or do you buy it
marraqueta for the sake of the example
I think that you're forgetting that a LOT of people are here to learn spanish too, not only english, they want to practice their spanish and will do if they want
If you dislike it so much maybe this isn't the server for you, we won't change our channels because you don't like it, people are fine with the way it is

Who stopped them? What will it take to have a separate channel in general? Or maybe it's the best way to learn English through reading Spanish?
Maybe if enough people pinged you about it, then you'd understand what's right or wrong Oh, got it! So, instead of fostering a more inclusive environment for everyone's learning preferences, we'll stick to the status quo :))
We already have the designated #🐬・ᴇɴ∕advanced and #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner channels for that reason
Frío, me puedo estar congelando pero no tengo que sudar 
General is for both languages
All channels are for both languages unless specifically stated in the channel topic

If this is something you cannot agree with, you might need to seek an English only server
But the Spanish speakers dominate during their time
And what time would that be? There's Spanish speakers/ learners around the world
They're trying to speak to you respectfully about/respond to your suggestion, can we stop with the passive aggressive responses?
I'm done explaining 🙇♀️
If I'm understanding you correctly, you feel that everyone knows Engilsh, but not everyone knows Spanish, so in times when the general channel turns completely Spanish, it's not fair or accessible to those who only know English? @deft dune
If I sound aggressive, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come across that way. I might just be mistaken, but either way, I give up
Yup
Ok, I get what you're saying, and certainly it can be frustrating if you only know English but the channel turns to Spanish. However, if we split up the channel into "english general" and "spanish general", then we get just a repeat of #🐬・ᴇɴ∕advanced vs #🦎・ꜱᴘ∕avanzado
A very large majority of the server speaks both English and Spanish, so a channel where people can freely swap back and forth between the two languages is most ideal
What’s going on here? 
Nothing, we're just discussing a suggestion to the server
It interrupts the topic at hand in general, so how can you expect people to shift to the advanced channel every time? Since the advanced channel isn't that active, this approach won't work consistently because general chats are always lively
Dude stop lol
@deft dune Oh wait, maybe I misunderstood something. Are you studying Spanish?
Or are you mainly interested in just studying English
I agree with @sand terrace
Fine if so, just wondering
Está aprendiendo inglés, no le gusta cuando "interrumpen" en español

Same 
In #general, if I start a conversation with people and then the chat suddenly turns into Spanish, I can't ask everyone to shift to #advance for English speakers every time because it's impractical and awkward. Also, #advance isn't as active as #general, so #general is usually busier and better.
I understand that. Just out of curiosity though, are you studying Spanish as well in this server? Fine if not, I'm just trying to get a better context for your suggestion and your background
Nah, I'm not studying Spanish anymore. I tried, but it was a bit difficult to begin with
Learn Spanish
Problem solved.

Ok, then I understand your suggestion. Your suggestion would certainly improve your experience in this server.
However, unfortunately, this server is not for you. This server is for people from around the world who are studying Spanish, and Spanish natives who are studying English. So, while your suggestion would make the server better for you, it would make the server experience worse for most of the rest of the server members who actually are trying to exchange between those two languages
I understand earlier you say you've tried the servers focused on studying English and say those servers are "full of toddlers", I think that's silly and you probably just haven't searched enough. There's so many English-only servers out there, we can't be the only one with adults. There are so many better servers out there for you than this one which is so heavily populated with Spanish speakers and learners

Or, don't join a server for "learning" Engilsh
Just join some random gaming, social, meme, whatever server
Judging by your profile, your native language is Arabic? You could join an Arabic-English exchange, then you could even have fun teaching foreigners studying Arabic while using English
Arabic-English https://discord.gg/J5wKCfY

By that logic, as there is more traffic in #general, if a native Spanish speaker wants to seriously learn English but encounters conversations primarily in Spanish, would it make sense for them? Also, I have noticed native English speakers who use #general to casually learn and converse but feel discouraged when conversations shift predominantly to Spanish, just like me. Don’t you think that #general should be balanced? As there are already separate channels to exchange languages, then why not balance #general too? But I understand that. Thank you for considering my suggestion.
I understand your point. I appreciate your suggestion for servers. I have been to those servers, and I didn't find them helpful. They were either too crowded and lacked quality or had very little activity. If the average people in those servers are also trying to learn English, what can you really learn from them? Fortunately, I have now found the server I was looking for, and I want to thank everyone here for their time and support. My intention was never to criticise, but rather to find a balanced solution for everyone here. I apologise if I hurt anyone with my comments. Thank you all again!
And now I am sparing all of you, even you, Lemon 
For the native Spanish speakers who want to practice English and want to avoid Spanish, they use #🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner and #🐬・ᴇɴ∕advanced. That's the setup we've established and none of our Spanish natives have ever complained about the system in the seven years we've been running this server
Among the very, very few people who are using this server for only Engilsh study without any relation to Spanish, I believe you are also the first to make this suggestion, at least as far as I've seen
If the average people in those servers are also trying to learn English, what can you really learn from them?
This is valid, so find your hobby and join a Discord server for that
Not for learning a language, just for socializing. That's how you can learn the language
Like gaming? Join a gaming server
Like anime? Join an anime server, etc
They're all English only, just like you desire
So you'll fit right in
The whole reason there are english natives here (the ones you said you want to learn from) is because of spanish! 
Based on what you said, people who come here to study any one language out of the two should avoid #general in common. I have heard that the majority who come with a Spanish background or want to learn Spanish don't complain or have any problems because most of them know English too. There are exceptional cases where individuals know only one language or want to talk or learn in one particular language at a time in #general. These are the ones who need help and want to learn seriously but can't, and thus have to avoid common channels. They have to participate in less active channels, which isn’t fair to them.
Just because such cases are not frequently seen doesn't mean they don't exist. They will only be heard unless these exceptional learners become the majority. I understand that it might not be possible to change something that has been the same for seven years and that people have found their comfort in it. Still, I believe this change would benefit those few cases and create a balance instead of mixing both conversations in one place.
But it's fine if you don't make a change, and I agree with what you said. Thank you for your understanding.
I like places that are a bit populated but not too dry. But, the servers with high populations often have gaming or anime in common, which I don't like or have something in common with them. Whenever I join some average Discord server, people just share cat and dog photos or gifs, making it feel like a zoo. I don't find that interesting at all,, It's tough to find a server that is perfect, and I haven't found one in months. But hopefully I will find one soon.
Qué... este es un servidor de intercambio español-inglés, ¿por qué no usarían español?…

☠️
It seems like there might have been a misunderstanding. I mentioned that there are people who may not know a certain language well or are just beginning to understand complex sentences. In a mixed channel where both languages are used, one language can easily dominate over the other, which isn't fair to those who are still learning. That's why I requested mods to create separate general channels. It would be more organized and beneficial for such people because I feel ignoring #general isn't fair to some exceptional cases here.
But I guess now i have animal pics to deal with
Weren’t you the person that told us what is the point of learning Spanish when we could learn more about English 🤨
I also feel like both are pretty prominent in general it just depends on the time of day
#🐟・ᴇɴ∕beginner and #🐬・ᴇɴ∕advanced exist as monolingual channels. If you ask a question in #📘・questions-lounge and don’t understand Spanish, you can ask people to explain it to you in English. Other channels are bilingual which is standard in bilingual servers
if you want to avoid Spanish, you can use these two channels
who’s everyone? you’re the only person who seems to be upset with the current set up
I enjoy it even when I get into conversations where it’s mostly everyone speaking Spanish cus it helps me try and practice reading when I just wanna relax from regular studying
I don’t understand much but its definitely nice to just switch a bunch
That was a simple statement I shared lol I didn't want to discourage anyone. You also heard me say "jack of all trades, master of none" because people often can't learn two things efficiently at the same time. Still, learning something is a personal choice driven by individual reasons.So my opinion was just to stick to learning one language at a time, whether it be English or Spanish
But I couldn't wait for hours to get my silly grammatical question answered. General is more active and fresh
There were people who felt awkward starting a casual conversation in English because others were conversing in Spanish. I'm not sure if they are still part of this server. What worse could happen if the general chat gets separated?
idk man usually it doesnt take hours
then it wouldnt be general, at this point find someone to regularsly chat in english with no?
im sure theres plenty of people looking to practice english
I don’t know general, but I always felt like people who only understand one language just talk to those who reply in the same language
it’s not like you have to converse with everyone
yeah or use a translator
I think the idea itself is quite okay, but at the same time it kind of forces you to be exposed to the other language
the server won’t have an active bilingual channel which is useful for people who want to be exposed to the language they’re learning but don’t want to exclusively talk and read in that language
which should speed up the learning process
Well it’s not really just a simple statement to basically tell others they shouldn’t bother to learn Spanish lol english/other natives come to learn Spanish or Spanish/other natives come to learn English it’s a bilingual learning server there’s going to be people learning either or and I feel it’s just kind of rude to tell others they shouldn’t bother learning another language because you think learning a lot more in English is better
Also I feel like that’s sort of just disrespectful to Spanish in general 💀
(But that’s my opinion I’m not a voice for native speakers)
Were you using general to ask grammar questions?
the whole quote is "jack of all trades is a master of none, but still better than a master of only one."
people just shortened the quote to make themselves feel better amount being lazy and not focusin on other things
thats the history of this quote, the more you know.
🧑🦯
Jack what??
let it be lol its a quote
oh. my bad.@warm vale ☠️
Lmao
If there are separate general channels for English and Spanish, it could provide a similar opportunity for language learners. Each channel would allow users to use and be exposed to the respective language without needing to exclusively communicate in that language all the time. I might not want to force or discuss it further, but what worse could happen if we have separate general channels?
LMAO, I didn't know that. Now, you might interpret it as disrespect to Spanish. Everyone knows English is globally accepted and widely spoken more than other languages in the world. So, if I say mastering and fluently speaking English is much more beneficial, what's wrong with that? It's not just about English; if Spanish were in the place of English, I would say the same thing for Spanish over English. If you have personal reasons and understand how it could benefit you, you should learn it.
That quote "Jack of all trades, master of none, but still better than a master of one" is subjective and context dependent. Scientific research shows that multitasking reduces efficiency and performance, as our brains aren't designed to handle multiple complex tasks simultaneously (University of London). Focused practice is important for mastery, as highlighted by Cal Newport in "Deep Work" and Anders Ericsson's research on deliberate practice. Multitasking also increases stress and reduces well-being, according to the American Psychological Association. ALSo, focusing on one task at a time enhances productivity and efficiency, as found by Stanford University. Versatility has its own benefits but it should be balanced. I often see people switching languages frequently, but it doesn't benefit them in any way or aid in learning something new. Instead, it often brings more disadvantages and isn't beneficial for the brain. I simply consider it a waste of time when people call it learning to switch languages in #general.
if you want to claim that switching languages makes you more stressed and reduces learning then you need to find a study that covers switching languages specifically. multitasking is doing more than one task at a time, and participating in a bilingual conversation could easily be counted as one task
for the first part of your message, learning two languages at once is definitely not multitasking. if you can learn both science and math in school then you can work on more than one language. there is value to just focusing on one language before working on another one but trying to conflate this with multitasking doesn’t make sense
I think we (or at least, I) understand your proposal and arguments well. But it seems you have never understood our side of things. As someone who wants to focus on English, I get you wanting an English only channel.
However, this server is built on language exchange. It stands because the natives of one language who have gathered here did so to study another language. That’s why your idea theoretically is good for maybe another server, but not ours, and it won’t be implemented here. We need that exchange here, and separating the server totally into an English and Spanish half will hurt the community I believe.
So, that’s my answer to your question or “what worse could happen”. It will hurt the community and lessen the sense of togetherness we have out of our exchange of specifically English and Spanish in our central gathering channel.
I think if we polled the top 100 users of the server, I would wager to say 90% of them or more would say a mixed general channel is better than a language split one.
^^
i feel like a language split one wouldnt be used as one either, because its much more annoying to switch channel if you want to express something you dont know how to express in the language youre learning
I know the difference between multitasking and having a bilingual conversation, from a cognitive perspective, engaging in a bilingual conversation does involve multitasking because it requires the brain to rapidly switch between different linguistic systems and cultural contexts and research does show that switching languages frequently can tire out your brain and make it harder to concentrate. Studies, like the ones from the University of London, found that switching between languages can strain your mind and make you perform worse on tasks. Even though you think learning two languages at once isn't exactly doing two things at once, it still means your brain has to switch gears, which can affect how well you remember and learn. Just like how focusing on one subject at a time in school helps you really understand it, concentrating on one language before starting another can improve how well you learn and remember them. In school, subjects usually cover the basics of different areas rather than going really deep into each one. This helps students get a broad understanding across different subjects, but it often doesn't lead to mastering any one subject without putting in extra focused study outside of class. So finding a balance is a key to learn languages in the long run..
Yeah, exactly. I understand now and I've stopped trying to convince them further. It's clear they don't have better reasons for not having a separate channel it seems people are just used to how things have been for years and resistant to change. That's fine
Translating something to learn isn't as restrictive as solely having conversations in that language, especially for beginners trying to understand written content
yes but not everytime i chat i want to learn
This discussion is still going on? 
fr, it started yesterday afternoon for me
I think there is perhaps a negligence in taking into account other natives in the dynamics of the server
Since yesterday 
Although it may not be possible to do what prosettings says bc it's simply too important the exchange that we got between these two languages in most channels
how so?
Verdad 
They either got to know english or spanish to learn the other one and manage to guide themselves through the server
oh yeah
I don't know if there's something possible to do about that but that's the first barrier for other natives
i get what you mean but i dont even know if thats fixable, technically english is the "in between language" since its taught in most (every?) places
a lot of other natives actually come to learn Spanish and need to be advanced in english first
it can be the other way around
I guess the main technique in the server for language learning is just chatting in your target language
yeah I'm aware
yeah, it pretty much relies on people correcting each other
Also, by his logic, everyone should learn Mandarin Chinese because English is not the most spoken language, Mandarin is.

I would also like to mention if someone is having troubles with understanding, translators do exist.
They’re not fully accurate but they’re helpful for beginners.
Just my two cents on it
I can switch between 4 different languages mid-conversation perfectly fine.

people are used to how things have been for years and are resistant to change
Judging by the fact that you seem to think your idea is the best idea and the only reason it’s not being accepted is we’re “stuck in our ways” (this is rude again by the way), it seems you do not wish to try to understand our side of things and can only focus on your opinion (I will acknowledge that this wording of mine is a little bit rude as well in return).
But anyway, this conversation isn’t working so I’ll leave it be. The large large majority likes the current setup because it’s best for the server.
Hi Alexiana how are you
Hihi, I’m okay! How are you?
Good good
Nice nice
Your languages are impressive Alexiana
¡Gracias!
I also did want to mention that if one knows Spanish, it’s quite easy to understand or learn English because just from how similar they really are, even vice versa
It’s not like you’re Spanish and learning Greek
If you know any Latin-derived (or romanic language), you can pretty much easily understand most of the others
In this case, that person isn’t interested in learning Spanish, they’re not here for that, they just want to study English only
Their native language is Arabic and they’ve gotten in their head that this is apparently the best place on discord to study English
Dios mío 
Qué….
Learning a language itself takes a lot of effort wdym 😭
If you can’t put in the effort, don’t bother lol
“I want an English only general channel because I like general but I don’t like the current channel dedicated to being English only”
That’s like trying to learn Japanese and refusing to study your Kanji because it takes a lot of effort and is tiring

But remember, they’re not trying to learn Spanish so to them the existence of Spanish in this server is just a bother and a nuisance, a “jama”
So they’re saying they get annoyed having to always translate Spanish in their general channel just to understand conversation in their server
(Emphasis on this server being “theirs” / made and here for them)
||(Of course, it isn’t actually though)||
Eso es estúpido
That’s somehow worse to hear than someone telling me Irish isn’t an actual language and that it’s just an accent

The only thing that gets on my nerves when swapping languages is swapping the keyboard 
🙄 😄
what's the third one
Oh and by the way please don’t do this, the questions channels exist for a reason and you’re interrupting conversation to go ask your question in the general chat. It won’t take hours for your question to get answered usually
Aún continúa esa conversación? TT
i also read back to this.. why can’t he just, idk.. start a convo himself if the topic isn’t of interest to him?
that’s kinda how conversations work online
me aswell, i switch from albanian to english or spanish
jeez though
my biggest question is what makes him think #general_en would be special or different from the current #advanced?
like, he says he likes the conversations in #general but not #advanced, so he wants to make an english only version of #general, which will be just a copy of #advanced then
Sí, bastante confuso..
Catalan
Yo creo que le hace pensar que quizás así sería un chat más activo como lo es #general
Pero el chico solo quiere que el español desaparezca de los chats que a él le gustan
And vice versa for english speakers
That's why #🦎・ꜱᴘ∕avanzado and #🐸・ꜱᴘ∕principiante are Ws
I would have already left the server after talking with the mods, but people kept pinging me with their responses, debating with me, and asking for my logic and other questions instead of asking the authorities. Do they think I've never been to any language learning servers? I've been to many, but I realised that learning from people who are still in their learning phase isn't very helpful. This was the last language learning server I joined, as my efforts to make small, simple changes weren't appreciated. I just wanted to separate the general channel because it was busy all the time with random people and their random topics, and not very crowded either. Since this was the last server I was trying, I thought, why not give it a chance? But unfortunately, my efforts weren't appreciated.
Also, I would like to repeat once again why I wanted to separate the general channel, even though we have dedicated English channels. First, those English channels aren't very active I see the same faces every day, and whenever I try to converse, I get different responses. The general channel has an upper hand because whenever a member joins, they casually end up in the general channel to converse (I do it too). Over time, everyone ends up in the same place, whether they are beginners, intermediate, or advanced learners so you don’t have to shift to those channels and can share things in common. I was trying to make it more organised so that people could have casual conversations without worrying about language swapping. Swapping languages always disrupts the conversation in progress. It's not just me who has this problem.
Now, these were my personal experience, but it is also scientifically proven that constant language switching is not beneficial and disrupts your brain. Some people still oppose this, and I don't care much because their personal experiences can't change the proven facts, even if they don't feel the effects.
Having been to other language learning servers, I thought I'd give this one a chance, but I've concluded that Discord servers aren't the best place to learn a language, especially with average, random people after incidents like these. You mentioned that I should have tried to understand the authorities' perspective, but the authorities didn't seem to provide a compelling reason. They referred to a seven year old setup of the server, where the majority of people are learning with no complaints while ignoring the exceptions.
Then, a random person who didn't know what was being discussed joined in, with multiple languages listed in their bio but no clear purpose, and sarcastically mocked my logic just because I have a specific purpose for learning. They dismissed years of scientific literature and proof, replying with their own baseless experiences. Instead of mastering the languages they learned with a clear purpose, they chose to call someone else's reasoning illogical. Everyone has their own interests or reasons to learn something, so how can they come to such conclusions and disrespect someone else's purpose? And yes, I would have learned Mandarin if I had trade relations with China or needed to hire someone
I may have misunderstood, but I feel unsettled by the unintended impact of people's words, even when they intend to be helpful
Sorry if I sound too straightforward or harsh, but I didn't expect to receive so much backlash for a simple suggestion. I kindly request updating the server description to clarify that new members, like myself, should be prepared to converse in both Spanish and English in the general channel, due to the frequent shifts in languages. As the weekend comes to an end, I must now take my leave. Thank you for the wonderful experience and cooperation.
They left the server
It's unfortunate we didn't see eye to eye
I really get what he's trying to say
But he still looks down on us as "ignoring science" and "having a seven year old setup"
Ignoring that wall of text
Is there a way to set discord's language to Español without having it change the time stamps to 24 hour format
I'm not sure but it's not hard to learn once you get used to it
I say just go for it
Many parts of the world use 24 hour time so it'll be helpful to have experience with it in case you ever go to those parts
yeah yeah ig so
(I'm American but have been using 24 hour time for ten years so I'm very used to it now)
Based Ryan
🤓👆
you shoudlnt do that
hold up let me read this guys long ass message
yeah its relatable i guess with users like the one i just replied to
it went on for ages
thats in its favour
I can literally change between 4 languages in a conversation perfectly fine with no stress or disruption
It’s called actually learning the language and understanding it before trying to use it with others

dude also said its personal
