⭐️ Vocabulary / Semantics I'm looking for someone to share a subscription to LookUpper (a language learning program)

• Upvotes

The subscription costs 500 rubles, but I would like to save for a couple of months with someone since the Pro version is provided for 2 devices. Anyone who also wants to learn any language in the game for literally 250 rubles, please let me know. This program is specifically for games and for watching movies in English or another language

📚 Grammar / Syntax fill or be filled? And do you need to use "up" too?

2 Upvotes

The tap is on. I'm waiting for the tank to fill / be filled (up).

I'm a bit confused as the dictionary says "fill" can be either transitive or intransitive. Are both correct then?

🗣 Discussion / Debates How do you guys review your flashcards?

5 Upvotes

I‘ve tried flashcards for memorizing vocab in the past, and I found it was really effective. The problem was that after almost 1 month, I found myself having to learn 100 flashcards from all the previous words I had written. Like…reviewing 100 flashcards every day, I couldn’t manage it. I wonder how other people who use flashcards manage this. Any tips?

📚 Grammar / Syntax Why are some nouns arbitrarily countable? Is there a way to know this without referring to a dictionary?

Post image
24 Upvotes

It's... water, so you'd think it's a mass noun, but it isn't. Is there a way to know that "floodwater" is a count noun without looking it up in a dictionary? I know it's rice, but lentils and oats because they're always plural with S endings. But then, "I've got some good news" has also tricked me into thinking "news" is countable. So, what now?

🗣 Discussion / Debates I‘ve tried learning more advanced words, but one week later I had totally forgotten them

7 Upvotes

I‘m B2 in English, and I‘m trying to learn more advanced words in order to better understand news articles, books, and more complex English in general. I‘ve tried learning advanced words, but as those are not very common words, I wouldn‘t encounter them often when consuming content and I would not use them when speaking on a daily basis, therefore I didn‘t retain them on the long term. One week later, the words had completely slipped my mind. Any tips on how to memorize them more effectively ?

⭐️ Vocabulary / Semantics How often do you give up on reading a book because of difficult vocabs?

1 Upvotes

Hi - I am English learner. I love reading philosophy and social science books, especially in my native language. I have been trying to do the same in English for a couple books. Keep finding myself spacing out or losing focus when I face a difficult passage. Gave up on reading a few books because of that. Does this happen to you guys too? You think many language learners react like me? How do you overcome that?

⭐️ Vocabulary / Semantics I built a Vocabulary Learning App because they’re all so expensive.

2 Upvotes

After using lots of Vocab apps I realised that they’re all basically super overpriced subscription models.

I decided to create my own with basically all features being free with the option to pay for a full unlock on the path page which I think is super fair because you get 25 paths before you even reach that point.

If you would like to try it out and let me know what you think feel free to:

⭐️ Vocabulary / Semantics Native speakers, how much creative license do you have when forming new phrases?

4 Upvotes

Idiomatic phrases are a double-edged sword for me—they are hard to memorize. Still, once you get them down, you can start using them without thinking twice about their usability (so long as you're using them appropriately). But then, occasionally, I run into phrases that aren't idiomatic, yet whose meanings are easy to deduce. So I guess my question is: how far can one veer off the beaten path when trying to articulate a concept without using standard, idiomatic phrases?

I'm not talking about grammatical correctness. I'm talking about using unconventional phrases that are grammatically sound.
