How to describe changing water flow in shower?
Do you say "turn (the tap) to stronger/weaker water"? In my native language, we would say "turn / open / adjust to bigger / smaller water".
is it valid to say "mind _to do something_"?
This sentence came out of my mouth once and I haven't really thought about it. Does this sound natural in an informal, a bit hostile, conversation: "mind climbing from the bottom?", meaning: "do you want to rise from the bottom?". I couldn't find any close examples, only remember similar: "mind your own business". So I'm asking for opinions here, does it sound lame or not insulting because I said it wrong?

Question for introverts: do you think it has an effect on your language learning?
We can all agree that learning a new language is a bold and courageous thing to do. I wanted to ask those who perceive themselves as introverted/introverts what effect, if any, does your introversion have on your language learning? Thanks in advance for sharing. 🥂
