I prefer to study things in English but also I almost by default look for stuff in English. News, videos, concepts, etc.

Fewer times I do a search in Spanish(my mother tongue) but the things I look for in Spanish are sometimes to learn the meaning in my language and wide my vocabulary 😄

Besides that, last year I was studying Portuguese in Duolingo and I was doing it from English to Portuguese(Duolingo also offers Spanish to Portuguese) and it was very easy to do.

I think is a way to keep practicing English anytime I can as it's not my mother tongue and only use it when speaking to my company's clients.
