Sounds pretty similar to the situation I found myself in. I discovered a few newsletters/tools: trending insights (free), exploding topics ($39/mo), and trends.co ($300/ yr). Source: 11 months ago

After that the hustle team built trends.co which was the premium subscription newsletter,Getting into trends.co costs a whopping $299 but trends stood out from it's competitors through the community engagement feature, unlike other premium newsletter the subscribers can engage with other founders and people in their community.

I don't wanna discourage people from trying to make side income with AI novels done with ChatGPT/Claude, or coloring books done with Midjourney, but that's literally the lowest hanging fruit.

Finally, visual media. Crucial tip, watch what you like! Watch a show that interests you in the TL, with or without subtitles. I recommend with subtitles at first so you can read and catch things you may have missed, but if you're training listening specifically, turn 'em off. These shows can be either native-made and originally in your TL, or dubbed into your TL like with another strategy I like to do, and I do... Source: about 2 years ago

Don't be discouraged! Speaking and listening are some of the hardest parts of language learning. I work on my listening by doing transcription exercises. I listen to some korean media and pause regularly (every sentence or two) and write it down in Korean. I then look up the transcription and then correct mistakes. I still struggle but my listening has improved a lot this way. If you have a netflix subscription... Source: about 2 years ago
