If I say that I hate myself It will confusing if I say that I want to become better, in other words I’m trying to love myself and meanwhile work harder to reach my goals.

My goal is to improve my English skills. In addition, enhancing my soft skills along the way has been fantastic as well. With this, I would be able to understand other human beings around the world. Nevertheless, should not forget about our mother tongue. Moreover, people are so focus on the English language, that they are forgetting about the right usage of the Spanish rules and patterns. As a result, writers of the Spanish language will be dissapearing in our continents, if we focus only on learning and mastering a second language but not appreciating and loving the beauty of our mother tongue, which is Spanish in my case.

Is there a difference between connectors and liking words?

Francisco Ponce

In general, "connectors" and "linking words" refer to the same type of words that are used to connect ideas and create coherence in writing or speech. They are also sometimes referred to as "transitional words" or "transition words."

These words can be used to show relationships between ideas, such as addition, contrast, cause and effect, and so on. Examples of connectors or linking words include "however," "therefore," "in addition," "nevertheless," "meanwhile," "similarly," "as a result," "in conclusion," and many others.

So, to answer your question, in terms of their function and use, "connectors" and "linking words" can be considered interchangeable. However, the specific terminology may vary depending on the context or the style guide being used.
