Another way to practice with humans is to go to Spanish restaurant and stores and try to speak there. Good thing is most people will be bilingual so if you get stuck you can always revert back to English. Just head to Broad St and get food or go shopping.

I am too! I stared DuoLingo on a whim and got hooked. I’m on a 60 day streak and now looking for other places to supplement my learning. r/Spanish is a good resource for additional material (I’m sure there are other subs for other languages). But I will be looking for some in-person practice at some point.

If he has a respiratory infection, he may have had trouble keeping up with his family and momma left him behind. Mother cats tend to ignore or abandon sick ones. My 8 month old kitten was also found abandoned on the side of the road with a respiratory infection and goopy eyes early summer in Scituate. She’s thriving now :)

Update:: we have him on medication for his upper respiratory infection and as it clears up we will be checking on his eye, since it’s infected it’s closed up and the vet wasn’t able to check it, two weeks it should be cleared up and we are fostering him until he’s better! One of my roommates found a potential home for him with her friend in PA, which is a little drive away but hey kitten road trip!!! Until then we named him goblin and he’s a very active kitten so sweet and I’m just hoping his eye clears up!!!!

Always keep in mind the variances from Spain Spanish vs Latin American Spanish. Luckily it's about %80 the same across the continents and only differences are below from my observation

While its not a tonal language I can verify there are differences in speed of speech ( Caribbean ) and more indigenous words ( Mexico, Central, South America )

you are in luck. Providence public library has Spanish classes evenings at community libraries for 25$ donations or what you can afford. Beginner classes restarting Jan 11 but they also can direct you to intermediate classes. You are right duolingo is a little bit of fun but much better if combined with real classes.

Reply to Do you guys drink the water from the facet ? by tryhardwhore

We're lucky to have some of the best water in the country. It is noticeably better than the shit that came out of the taps back from where I was from in Florida.

The only time the tap is bad for us here is when a fire hydrant or major pipe work in the streets happen but it is noticeably reddish brown and easy to flush out.
