09:12
be better and better okay yeah thank you I really  appreciate it I guess watching movies and TV shows  
87
552600
5820
09:18
is something that so many different people do  but he also mentioned that you should practice  
88
558420
5460
09:23
speaking a few days ago I saw the school quote  practice makes Comfort the more you practice  
89
563880
6600
09:30
speaking English or other foreign languages the  more comfortable you will feel yeah I know have  
90
570480
6180
09:36
a good day yeah you too bye bye so another amazing  tip about watching shows obviously very useful but  
91
576660
6360
09:43
he also said that when you talk to people you  know they can correct you so obviously speaking  
92
583020
5520
09:48
is very important and also he asked me to not  show his face so that's why I'm using an emoji  
93
588540
6360
09:54
instead okay guys to be honest all of my other  conversations were not as successful because yes  
94
594900
6060
10:00
there are a lot of um really weird people on  Omega go there were people who are just like  
95
600960
5700
10:06
joking and making fun of everything you know  it was kind of weird so if you're trying to use  
96
606660
8340
10:15
Omegle to talk to people or study languages I  would say don't don't do it because there are  
97
615000
6000
10:21
better apps out there for language exchange I was  just trying to experiment and try something new I  
98
621000
5820
10:26
feel like at the end of the day one of the best  pieces of advice that we received today is all  
99
626820
5220
10:32
about watching cartoons or movies in English  or in your target language Spanish right now  
100
632040
6120
10:38
I'm watching this great show in Spanish called La  Casa De Las Flores which is the House of Flowers  
101
638160
6060
