@zersiax @jscholes @simon Yeah, even if I could afford tickets above economy, I probably wouldn’t get them, because I don’t expect to receive any help with any of the perks like lounges or whatever. Mind you there have been a few instances where I have been offered help with the shops etc..

@jscholes @simon @zersiax Yeah, constant one-to-one Assistance wouldn’t be a bad idea. Especially if you’re stuck in an airport, and you need the toilet, and there’s actually no one around that you can quickly grab and ask for help. Assistance varies between countries and Airports. I used to travel to Norway quite a bit, and the Assistance there is really really good, Heathrow is quite good, but sometimes it can be chaotic.

@jscholes @simon If you’ve paid to access a lounge, then you should get help to access that lounge, either from the lounge staff or Assistance people. But Assistance in general, it’s an necessity not a luxury, and there shouldn’t be different teers for it.

@TheVoiceGuy Thanks Michael. I’ve already got a paid Gemini API key. If I ever need an OCR solution for complex documents, I’ll give your program a go.

@TheVoiceGuy I’ll use anything as long as it works, isn’t full of bugs and is secure. I don’t care how it’s been coded. I haven’t tested your program, I don’t need OcR solutions at the moment, but I think it’s a really great idea. I’ve bookmarked it for use in the future.

It’s a textbook, and I think it’s on Kindle or Google Play. I actually wouldn’t recommend Kindle for textbooks these days, Google Play is much better. Or you could try finding it on welib.org or Annasarchive. (5/5)

If you want a free podcast for learners, coffee break Spanish is free, it’s just the lesson notes you need to pay for. There is also an app called Language Transfer, and a course called Spanish uncovered you can get for your PC, the PDFs are accessible. I’m not sure which one of these resources is Latin American Spanish or European Spanish. If you really want a Latin American resource, look into getting Colloquial Latin American Spanish. (4/5)

And then I google things to doublecheck what it’s saying is true. You could also use textbooks, there are quite a few on Kindle, and Google Play Books, and when there’s something like a verb table, you can open a Google Play book in Google Chrome on your PC, and Google Chrome will OCR it, or again you could just ask ChatGPT or Gemini, you could share your screen with Gemini. Or take a screenshot and get ChatGPT to explain it. (3/5)

If you don’t want to pay, you could listen to podcast for Spanish learners, and then look up topics Online that they’re talking about, like verbs and other grammar topics. If ever a website or PDF is inaccessible, you could just put it through ChatGPT or Gemini and get them to explain it to you. I have a Turkish course with a pretty inaccessible PDF, and if I really don’t understand something, I just put it through ChatGPT, and it clarifies things. (2/5)

@DesireeRenae The Spanish course from innovative language, it’s just a website, Spanish part 101, and you can read the grammar notes and listen to lessons. Also there is Rocket Languages, Babbel, which is probably better on the PC than on the phone, you could even put a YouTube video through Gemini or Omni Describer, and ask for a transcription. And there is coffee break Spanish too, and they also have PDF notes you can pay for. Most of these options are paid for. (1/5)
