I don’t know why but the TikTok algorithm never really “got me”. I watch a video of say “slimes” then it gives me like 8 more videos about slimes, which I then swipe away becasue I don’t really care about them that much. Then I repeat that with other topics and TikTok sort of got confused.
Fast forward some time…
Now my TikTok feed is 100% Spanish and I’m only A2-B1 in fluency.
It could be ADHD, but I feel it’s personality trait of not liking the same thing. My spotify playlists are over 250-400 hours long because I’m not a big fan of listening to the same music over and over.

I know exactly why TikTok’s algorithm never got me - because I never signed up.
Technically true is the best kind of true.
No algorithm can handle my ADHD. One day all I watch are videos about WW2, the next its only cake recipes

PlaylistS as there’s more than one of them, measured in fortnights? What are the themes/subjects/vibes/eras and wtf? Sry, I ran out of coherent words
I’ll just share some of them!

I think the trick is to let the kids rile up your feed sometimes.
Not for long! You’ll learn the language eventually, if TikTok is stubborn enough
What’s that mean with respect to fluency?
If I struggle I can figure out what they are saying… most of the time. But I often have to like listen to it twice to get it.
Gotcha, that’s about where I am too. What are the letters you referenced though? Is there some widely used system to evaluate language skills?
Oh, I misread! The letters are a rough measurement of fluency.
