This young girl uses “los,” “las” and the gender-neutral “les” — watch her explain why. —from REMEZCLA on twitter.
to all the cowards who whine “how will i explain it to my kids??” i say: how about you shut up and let your kids explain it to you.
“Ma’am, you don’t have to be a lawyer to defend someone else” wow she snapped
This girl has my undying respect because of this, the courage to stand up to friends and authority at that age to defend the rights of trans is beautiful and worth everyones respect to her

5 days ago I made a post offering my services as a Spanish tutor and thankfully it got shared a lot and 2 girls wanted me to tutor them. However, when I made that post I was not aware of the many fees and flaws of both fiverr and paypal. Fiverr is holding my money until january 4 and since I don’t live in the US and there are no banks or shops that work with paypal in Ecuador, I’ll have to withdraw my money using xoom, which is another fee. I don’t want to ask my students to pay more because of that, so I’m offering my services as a spanish tutor again. For $25 you’ll get 10 lessons, the first lesson is free, we can make a study plan together and work from that. I am a native spanish speaker, I was an IB student and certified both Lengua y Literatura and Language A in high school, I took a tefl course, and now I study social communications and journalism.
Some of the things you’ll learn if you have no knowledge in Spanish are:
Pronombres
Artículos indefinidos
Artículos indeterminados
Verbos ser/estar/tener/haber/hacer
Presente y pretérito perfecto
Verbos pronominales
Presentarse
Describirse
Adjetivos
Vocabulario común
Preposiciones/adverbios
If anyone wants more information, feel free to dm me. I will gladly answer all your questions.

Since I’m suddenly a spanish studyblr, I feel like I have to remind you all that there is no such thing as perfect spanish and your grades are not an indicator of your fluency or your habilities to learn a language.
Knowing how to conjugate verbs with vosotros is really not that important, nor is it to use ser o estar correctly. Yes, accuracy is good, but being able to communicate is essential. So please be kinder to yourself and don’t be afraid to speak another language, because I can tell you that no native spanish speaker will stop to point out your mistakes.
I don’t know how I didn’t figure this out but now that I have I don’t know what to do with this information
I saw this meme and it reminded me of the time where I posted this other meme and over 100,000 people decided to attack me on it ♀️
I also wish my sarcasm was more apparent in the first one bc I am well aware that this only occurs in these languages and not many others in the world but I was made fun of for a meme instead of people going to my blog and seeing that I love languages and linguistics
I’ve asked around before, but if any of you are willing to practice french/english/spanish over skype or zoom, let me know. I am in desperate need of a language buddy
