Yes, it is, and I'm very happy about it. It's my native language, but still, it's very important to learn and improve your skills even in such a case

Thanks for the information! I agree that now online education is very popular, and such apps are much needed!

Hey! Your idea is cool, but are you sure that such platfom will become popular? We have so many different platforms nowadays, but if it
just a university project, then it's a cool one
Yes, I partly agree with you, but as I understood, that app will help to learn also a culture. And it makes it different

I would recommend you to find a text with an audio and do the following steps:
1.) Translate the text (word by word) and write the translation under every word you don't understand "at first sight".
2.) Listen to the text while you're reading the original text and as you arrive to the words you don't understood, switch down to the translation (you've made) and read the words you don't now already in your NL. Do this several times, as long as you're familiar with the new words.
3.) Now you should be able to listen to the audio (without reading) and understand all the words.
4.) This is the point where the "time saver" comes in: Now store your language stuff away and continue listening to the audio. Set the volume of your computer/mobile phone to a very low level so that you just can hear all the words. Now you can do other things (like cooking, cleaning your flat, hiking etc.) and you can train yourself not to concentrate at all on your audio (it's possible, I made it too) what will allow you to do more "advanced" tasks while listening (studying, reading, homework, writing).
The good thing about this method is, that you don't have to practice but instead you delegate the practicing to your brain (this is what happens when listening unconsciously to your text). You will sometimes "detect" a word or two and then return to your task you're concentrating on - this is normal ...
Me myself I learned a lot with this "time saving method" (called the "method of Birkenbihl", by the way) and I'm now even learning complex latin texts with this method - it works like magic...
Greetings, Jonas
Thanks for this useful tips!

I think I don't have a favorite author. I've read a lot of books, most of them I liked, but still can't say that there is one author, which writing style I love that much

In my opinion, your text is good. I also practice writing because I want to get a Certification. And I can recommend you to use tools that correct grammar mistakes. I use such tools myself, which helps me a lot because if you see what is incorrect, it will help you improve your writing skills. And also, I try to write papers on totally different issues because, as my professor said, such writing challenges are beneficial. The last time I wrote about the fashion industry, I spent a lot of time working on that paper. Here is one site https://envrexperts.com/free-essays/essay-about-managing-risks-fashion-designing-industry I came across it accidentally when I was looking for some info, and there are some essays examples on that theme. I read a few, and for me, they were like examples of how the finished paper may look. And also, there, I found a few interesting ideas, which I used in my own paper, but wrote more details on each.

Hey! Usually, when I need help with my writings, I use some apps, which correct the mistakes. But I don't know any, which will help with Spanish

It's sounds like a great idea, but it will be complicated. I think it's better to learn some basic phrases and words. I always try to do that when i want to go somewhere, because when locals see that you at least tried to do something, it makes them happy)

Oh, for me, it took not a long time to improve my spoken English and grammar. But for me, it has been complicated to improve my writing. I have all the courses in English, and of course, I have to write a lot of papers also in English. Somethimes I use this service https://edubirdie.com/buy-assignment-online, first of all, it helps me not to get a bad mark, and secondly, those papers, for me, are examples and it's also very helpful for my skills improvement. But I think I need two more months and then I'll write much better.

I prefer the "English" side. That literature is just closer to me, and I like it more
