Writing Challenge: Broke Edition
>Easy
My house is small.
Me and my family are poor.
>Medium
Nobody in my neighborhood was able to afford groceries this week.
One Slavic person makes more money than all of my town combined, except for that Jewish guy on the other side of town, of course.
>Hard
Due to my country being a shithole, we are unable to afford food, water, gas, air conditioning, and slaves. We blame it on the war in Ukraine, but really, it is caused by an incoming, previously-hidden recession that will be worse than the likes of 2008. Nobody will be safe - not even that big-nosed individual that I have the unfortunate pleasure of knowing.

Is increasing my English vocabulary by 1200 words a good feat?
Hay muchos países hispanohablantes. El mayor es México. México tiene una historia muy vieja; los Aztecos, los Mayas, y los Olmecos eran las civilizaciones mas importantes en América antes de la colonización europea. México es hoy el origen de muchas personas en los EEUU. En mi opinión son los Mexicanos en mi país buenos trabajadores y muy simpáticos, pero no me gusta su música.
La Real Academía Española (RAE) estandardiza el idioma. Es una organización controversial, porque dice que muchas personas no hablan bien. Su ortografía es controversial también; por ejemplo, la RAE dice que "whiskey" debería ser "güisqui," pero normalmente escriben los hispanohablantes esta palabra como los ingleses. Pero en mi opinión, la RAE no es totalmente mala, y sea bueno, si inglés tendría mas regulaciones.

Nothing wrong with saying "En mi opinión" but it is a word-for-word calque of English.
Now, going off-topic, RAE does not say people do not speak properly. Especially not when it comes to accents and such. It just presents a bunch of options for what should be considered Standard Spanish. Nowadays there's an effort to change the orthography so it suits most speakers, this includes the word guión losing the tilde, guion, because that's how most Mexicans pronounce it. On another topic, RAE, if I remember correctly is subordinated or works on the same level as ASALE, the association of Spanish language academies, so this standardization is only going to further develop. As for the example given, whiskey, I'm all for writing foreign words in a way that can be properly pronounced in Spanish. You could do the same in English with words like mosquito, habanero, jalapeño - moskeeto, abanero, halapenyo (the closest thing to ñ in English, like in canyon).

I found a website for all radio stations of the world. I am listening to USA radio stations as I am typing this. As someone who's C1 in English, do I have anything to gain by passively listening to US radio as I do passive shit throughout the day?
