I’m almost done with this book and can really recommend.

I’m not a fan of horror but thought I should read this classic and have not been disappointed.

Sounds like [email protected] might be a nice community to post this question to as well :)

Isn’t that very country/culture/field specific?

I have to admit my own drawing makes me feel uneasy. Almost reminds me of this one specific Anime/Manga that has an episode or two about this scientist trying to save his daughter…

Would be cool to have that feature. In the meantime hope these two settings help :)

I use “hide read posts” + “mark as read on scroll” - that way when I come back to /all the feed starts from where I left off already or I just need to refresh and it will remove the already-scrolled content.

Pfft bitte, Palatschinke (a foreigner living in Austria)

I vote for the dang trees. I like trees.

That’s an incredible feat, you should be proud!

I’m working ln the outputting as well. I struggle with speaking since I often can’t keep up with the conversation but like you said: practice :)

Exactly!! I remember that one of my biggest motivations for learning English was to understand what is written/spoken in games. My native language was never available so I had no other choice.

I’m certain I only know some words because of playing games. Not knowing everything was indeed part of the fun!

4 weeks! It’s the most intensive course I’ve ever taken for a single subject.

Thanks! I hope I’m still having fun after this week lol. Wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t working full time but I really wanted to do this to get forward with my grammar :)

Sadly I can’t give any recommendations for French :( hope someone in this thread who is learning French can pitch in. If not, then it could be a good idea to make a post in this community asking for one maybe?

I know exactly how you feel though. I started my German language learning with duolingo (still do it!) and while it’s fun I felt like I started struggling later on at higher levels since I didn’t really understand the sentence structure and certain rules. Got myself a grammar book and I started enjoying duolingo again after that and find it still really useful for actual vocabulary training.

First week of daily intensive course is over and boy am I overwhelmed, but even more determined. The teacher is awesome and patient so it’s actually a lot of fun.

Home chores do get ignored though… Going to a 3 hour course after work is bit much… But thankfully it’s not for long.

I didn’t know you can join VR-chat without the headset. Damn, maybe I’ll give it a try after I’m finished with my daily intensive course. Thanks for the tip!

That sounds impressive! Give playing in japanese a try maybe? I’ve noticed I really enjoy being sometimes thrown into the deep end and not understanding everything. It motivates me to learn even more if I don’t understand but I want to :)

Highly recommend picking up a grammar book too! It will give you confidence when you can revise what you’ve learned and understand it better!

Congratulations! I’ve heard that time flies with kids and that you should relish small moments with them as much as possible, so don’t worry about language - but don’t let it go either! That’s you-time hobby when you need it :)

Hey! No slacking fxomt!

Honestly it always sounds so overwhelming when you list the languages you are learning. You deserve time off ;)

Impressive streak though! Live conversations have tendency to smack us down, but don’t give up.

VR-chat for practicing sounds exciting - have never tried since I don’t own VR set but that would be an awesome way to use them for other than gaming purposes.

Viel Glück! That’s what I’m working on as well :)
