English language teaching is very poor, just the basics. I couldn't read a post in English, because between the idiomatic phrases I don't know and the words that play on a text with writing resources I don't think I would understand even 10% of it.

Ah ok, I figured as much but wasn't sure, it must make things very time consuming having to translate things.

All the time. We live thanks to deppl haha although there is a Cuban who made a programme to translate and format. I don't use it because it translates very few words at a time and this slows me down a lot. Most of the posts are in English and Spanish so that I can reach more people and avoid the work of translation.

I'll be honest and say I rarely open a post in dual language, only those from whom I know post well. I have a couple pet hates though:

  • Interspersing the text/paragraphs: Spanish-English-Spanish-English-Spanish-English-Spanish-English-Spanish-English-Spanish-English...it drives me bonkers!
  • The use of ENG/ESP in titles...Yep, drives me bonkers.
  • Long titles (Spaniah speakers do this a lot for some reason and, yes, it drives me bonkers.
  • Loads of other things, but this is enough for one comment. Lol.

hidden text. She's a smart ass cookie. Lol.I like how @nanixxx does it...Writes the post in one language as a body of text, but adds the translation in

Yes, she is very good. I have learned a lot from her advice. I will start using this code in the future, thank you very much.

It gives the reader choice without having to scroll down to find the text/language they need. For someone like me who reads a lot of posts it helps.

Perfect. I had seen it, but it works if you read it in Peakd, because it doesn't work in ecency. Although I don't use it much, I prefer PEAKD. Thanks again. 😊

😅😂 @galenkp, smart {this} hahaha... I guess that should always use cushion, talcum powder and perfume.

Thank you ✨🍷

Smart ass or smart cookie? Which is it?

I know smart ass is a phrase used to refer to someone who is clever, sharp, brainy... but the truth is that a cookie with talcum powder and perfume doesn't taste good. So, #sploosh-ass is convenient.

😂

Galenkp a hurricane named Idalia (what a bad woman) wants to swallow us. Google Havana, Hurricane, Idalia.

In the next few hours I may be offline without electricity until I don't know when.
