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.

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
I know exactly why TikTok’s algorithm never got me - because I never signed up.
Technically true is the best kind of true.
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.
