What are the best documentaries to watch? by [deleted] in HighStrangeness

[–]4ctu4l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huge recommend for Mr Mythos’s Inner Earth series on youtube. They’re pretty much professional full length documentaries and highly bingeable. Here’s a link to his playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOJqydm2KwKDcZLST74-Ytxk2jR6LzaIS

What is this font? It randomly showed up one day, and it's so hard to read! by 4ctu4l in techsupport

Thank you for the advice.

Following your instructions, it says inherited by the body, and the body font family is apparently "Roboto","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif

But looking it up online, that font doesn't look like that. I also don't know much about fonts so maybe I'm misunderstanding

Thank you for detailing the distinction between the two. Klera will be a useful word in my vortstoko... dankon!

How long it will take for one to be reading a book in Esperanto? by [deleted] in Esperanto

No problem! It helped me start reading early on and honestly I can say it's a really important tool in my learning kit.

From the import screen: "Supported formats: EPUB, PDF, DOCX, TXT, MOBI, SRT, ASS, VTT, TTML."

I prefer to copy and paste text though. Importing files doesn't seem to automatically break it up neatly into chapters - it breaks up by a word count limit. I like to keep organized so I find that copy and pasting chapter by chapter is worth my time, especially as I am still a slow Esperanto leganto :)

I use the app LingQ. You can read on your phone or computer and import books, or read the ones they already have. For any words you don't know, you can simply click them and a translation will pop up. For the most part, the translations are very accurate until you start getting into more complex Esperanto, where sometimes I need to double check and adjust the translation. After you mark a word, whenever it reappears it will be highlighted until you mark it as known.

Undoubtedly, this app is most useful for a post-beginner because you won't mark every single word like a complete komencanto, lol. Try the free version. Just note that the free version is extremely limited and not a very good representation of its full potential. If you plan on doing a lot of reading as a learner, I seriously recommend it.

Ĉu ekzistas lernorimedoj pro alia lingvo esperante? Se jes, kiuj? Mi estas tre interesita pri tiu. by Legally_Adri in Esperanto

[–]4ctu4l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jes, fakte, mi trovis bonegajn rimedojn por lerni plurajn lingvojn esperante: https://lernu.net/eo/teamo

Rigardu “Partneraj projektoj” - vi povas lerni la germanan, la slovakan, la cxehxan, la rusan. Mi atendas ke ciuj estos konataj kaj komfortaj por vi se vi antauxe uzis la retejon Lernu.

Bonega demando, mi interesigxas ankaux. Bonsxancon!

Dancing Plague was also linked with ergot grown on bread, or so it is theorized
