My Chinese girlfriend makes me watch Chinese Xiahongshu (think Instagram reels) videos on her phone with a cracked screen with her. No, I do not understand Chinese.
My wife with Spanish Instagram. But to be fair, I'm on duolingo learning Spanish
I'm learning Mandarin and I can understand some pronouns
Honestly its probably helpful then (aside from the cracked screen! Get it repaired)
Immersion makes learning so much easier. Even if you previously learned it and feel like you forgot, it helps bring things back to the surface so much better imo.
Sometimes I try and say small phrases to her in Chinese. We've already learned to argue in Chinese, lol
My Filipina wife makes me watch English YouTube shorts. But to be fair, I make her so stuff she doesn't want also.
