Back in reddit in r/languagelearning whenever someone asked this question without giving any context about who they are or what they want out of language learning there was a long running joke to reply with “Uzbek”

You should learn Uzbek.

Oh yeah it understood me too, but its reply was a weird mix of dialect and non dialect

I don’t know about creoles but with dialects in my experience it mixes the standard language, the dialect I use with it and other dialects. Probably confusing that they all use the same writing system and have some common vocab.

How do I block users again?

Uhh you’re welcome?

What are you thanking for?

Fair point

There’s only one forum I visit nowadays and it gets older threads revived every now and then. Usually to say “Whatever happened to that? Is it done yet?”

Oh I didn’t know that! I didn’t grow up on forums but I used them a few times here and there. You’re right new replies do push a thread to the top. Kind of a bad design lol.

God knows there aren’t many new threads on lemmy so I’ve been searching random keywords looking for interesting old threads to read and sometimes comment on.

The code is in Typescript. It’s the backend of a web app that’s all. Doesn’t really need to be in Rust but idk I just want to make something that doesn’t use more resources than it needs to. Just to be neat :D

YES! THIS IS NOT A DRILL

THIS IS NOT APRIL’S FOOLS

Kinda wish we got the month though.

Edit: here’s the clip

Get ready for the next battle

That’s perfectly fine. Don’t worry about forgetting words. You will forget them, look them up again, forget them look them up again, eventually they’ll stick. Focus on the reading. Don’t treat it like a vocabulary lesson. Every day you’re here to read, as long as you reach the end you’re good, over months you’ll realize you learned a lot of vocabs.

At first because the text will be so dense with new words yes it will take a long time to read, that’s why I typically only read a short maybe half a page per day. Then gradually increase that as your vocabulary grows over months. The goal should be to encounter say 50-100 new words a day. Notice I said encounter not learn.

Those websites where you look up words are really useful. Make sure they have text to speech and read out loud in the language not in English even if you see the translation in English that’s fine.

Also do a lot of listening along with the reading. I usually get myself an audio book and its corresponding text, chop it up into 1 minute and half a page segments, for each segment listen once, then read looking new words up, then listen while reading at the same time a few times, trying to follow a long, looking up any words I forgot, then listen without reading a dozen or so times until I can follow along. Then movd on to the next segment.

Do a lot of reading and listening to material you find interesting. The learning happens in the background.

Reminds me of space force dollars

Nope

Because demographics

You can probably check that out in the performance section of your browser dev tools

I think the cgp grey video about thought germs gives a high level overview

What do you expect? You’re on lemmy. Half the userbase is doomers, dude.

How do I register with one of these nickservs? I tried with an android client but I couldn’t figure it out.
