Hi guys, I want to find a language partner that I could help you with Chinese and you could help me with Spanish. We could help correct each other for sentences or pronunciations when needed. But I’m not ready for language exchange by phone call yet, as I’m a complete beginner in Spanish.
Is there anyone interested in this? Leave me a message!

I’m confused about Spanish from Spain and South America. Could someone pls let me know if there’re many differences between them? Or the differences are just quite similar to that of English from Uk and America?
For now, I’m learning it from a Spanish teacher and also working on some YouTube material, mostly from south America.
Muchas gracias!

To Commemorate a Special Learning Journey -to someone I respect
Another interesting soul left here. He kind of motivates me to think more about this learning process, put more effort into English learning, or maybe explore more about life. This is to commemorate a special journey here.
I think, in the end, it’s all about ourselves. All traced back to its root. Why do we want to learn a language? There’s certain purpose there, if the motivation is strong enough, we’ll find our way to make significant progress and achieve that. The reason for me, why do I want to learn English is that, I found that people speaking different languages, people from different culture, their thoughts or the way they see things are quite different, sometimes maybe totally the opposite, or how they perceive sensitive topics, which is quite fascinating. The more I learn, the more I realize I should learn. The culture itself just has a special charm that I can’t resist.
Basically, their mind set is different, they tend to see things more objectively, or they freely express their opinions, feelings, they would defend their idea, maybe they would force you to your throat to believe their opinion. This is an interesting thing to try. I’d rather hear people with different voices rather than people are afraid to express, that they don’t know how to think, or they don’t want to think, or they don’t think deeply.
Truly that, it’s the culture or education that made us different, but we’re adults now, we’re free, we should take full responsibility for our lives, to cultivate ourselves, we should know what we want, and be open-minded enough to let things get to us, learn to understand, or maybe to make an adjustment, also the way we interpret, and how to keep them in our minds, how to develop knowledge network, how to apply that into our own lives.
Or maybe they’re just too scared to admit it, so they turn to the outside world to seize everything they could to find some balance or control upon life. They drive everyone with different voices away, keep their house all to themselves, and just enjoy the momentary peaceful and harmony atmosphere there. They turn the one and ultimate way out away. But is it real? When the night falls down, when they finally get some time to talk with their soul, what would they do to nourish their soul, will they feel lonely?
Plato’s Cave. Now I really admire philosopher’s wisdom. It travels through time, through space, right into our faith.

How do we know the belief we hold is right or wrong?
How do we know the belief we hold is right or wrong?
We make our decisions according to what we’ve been taught or experienced, then these stuff we let inside our mind shaped ourselves. Then we get used to it, to make life easier or to save energy, we choose to believe it or we have to believe it so we could survive psychologically.
But how do we know it? How could we not be too possessive about these beliefs?
Are we willing to spend time with ourselves, to re-examine the principles we hold, to struggle so we could find ourselves?

Stop Renting Contract
Please help correct me.
Thanks a lot!
I don’t know why, but sometimes people get emotional easily. When they’re supposed to tell the truth objectively, they choose to act emotionally.
Like today, we talked to our landlord to stop the rent contract. He came in with his family members. Everything went well until his daughter-in law came in.
Once she stepped in, she started acting really picky, saying all the mean words about the house conditions with severe emotions. She was basically unsatisfied with everything and keeping exaggerating too much all the time. I knew she might want to get a beneficial position for discussion/bargaining , she just wanted to return less deposit to get them more profit. But the way she acted was really ridiculous to us. She is not a young girl any more, she’s in her late thirties. One is supposed to be mature and sophisticated enough at that age instead of being naive and childish as she showed. She could just tell us what she wanted instead of talking bullshit to us in front of her family.
So I just told her, “stop beating around the bush, just speak it out, it’s that easy. Just tell us what you really want, so we could discuss about it. Merely complaining is just a waste of time, it won’t get you anywhere”. Her family members also stopped her there. Then we got down to the real business, and got everything done within 10 mins.
Thankfully they’d got some wise family members so I didn’t have to tolerate with her all the time, otherwise I had no idea how would I possibly survive this.

Please help check this. -- How Could We Get an Objective Opion upon History?
Please help correct me. Thanks a lot!
How Could We Get an Objective Opionion upon History?
Sometimes it’s hard for people to get a whole picture of history. Because most of the medias, books hold a bias opinion upon their own countries, especially when it comes to politics. So how would we know that all our historical knowledge is not built on a false foundation? What can we do to fight that?
Maybe we could distinguish the facts from opinions, spin on the facts, read a lot about same period of history of authors from different backgroud, check carefully to see if the facts is truthful and reliable, then contrast them to come to a conclusion ourselves. It would take tons of time, but the effort will worth it.
