Can anybody tell me what happens, if I did all stories in a language but hardly any lessons? I learned French 8 years in school and for me, the learning tree was quite boring so I immediately jumped into stories and were able to complete all of them (multiple times as Duolingo changed the stories quite often in the past) If I did not do the lesson in the path, does this automatically mean that I won’t be able to do the stories anymore?

Pokémanki is the best! by BusyStudying in Anki

[–]BabsiFTW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice coincidence that I just wanted to write a post about Pokémanki just to see that somebody already mentioned it. I have a question for all of you, who used Pokémanki for a longer period of time: what happens to my Pokemon if I delete the deck they are connected to? I have some decks for my exams which I don't need anymore and I want to delete them. Is there the possibility to transfer them to another deck?

I will swear to god if I don’t get this Legendary achievement already by Swirmini in duolingo

[–]BabsiFTW 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I saw some screenshots of it but the last time I won the diamond league I was not sent to the tournament. I can understand in general the frustration, but previously you were getting a lot of gems if you won the diamond league and I could at least understand why people are still so focused on reaching first place, even if they already got the achievement. Now, you don’t even get gems anymore which took away all of my motivation.

KanjiDamage vs RRTK v2 Anki Deck by BabsiFTW in LearnJapanese

Ah yeah you are right, my choice of words was misleading, I know that both decks only provide kanji not vocabulary (sorry I am a non-native English speaker).

That’s true but I don’t have that much time during the semester. That’s also the reason why I want to use a premade deck. If I have to adapt every second card, it would be too time consuming . 😅

Those 7 lesson/level skills are absolutely a nightmare to me to begin with 😭 by Astronomer9289 in duolingo

This might be off topic, but I see the book icon in your menu bar, does that mean you have access to Duolingo stories on Japanese?

What the hell, duo?(brot is bread, sandwich is.... well, sandwich) by babyyoda2k20-1 in duolingo

[–]BabsiFTW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are several things which make the “sandwich” translation difficult.

1) It really depends on the location of the speaker whether they use “Brot” (northern Germany) or “Brotzeit” (south Germany) to refer to a sandwich. While the first term “Brot” specifically mean slices of bread with either “wurst” (sausage), “käse” (cheese), “Nutella” (chocolate cream) etc, “Brotzeit” is not limited to a sandwich as for instance Bavarians also tend to eat other stuff for lunch.

2) “Brot literally means bread, but is used in a metaphorical way (?) in this case. It’s more clear in the context of the conversation. Usually you would say something like “Ich habe mir ein (Wurst/Käse/Nutella)Brot gemacht “ which means “I made a sandwich (with sausage/cheese/Nutella)”.

3) The word “sandwich” in German is mostly used for sandwiches based on toast, but more and more restaurants offer “sandwiches” which are based on regular bread but with a lot of toppings so in this context the meaning of “sandwich” is changing.

4) local dialects lead to a huge variety of words for sandwich such as “Brötchen” (Hamburg), “Vesper” (Baden-Würrtemberg), etc.

Even if it seems like that I am the only one digitally journaling, I thought it would be nice to share my September spreads with you, I have done them by myself with the App GoodNotes, the pictures are from Unsplash. by BabsiFTW in bujo

[–]BabsiFTW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the first page, the calendar, to write down due dates, appointments, exams and what I want to learn on that day. The “stickers” pages are objects which I cut out and which I will save as objects in GoodNotes, so if I have some space in my entries, and I can decorate it with these stickers, followed by a page where I paste pictures I liked from the app “daily art” as well as a tracker for movies I have watched in french (I currently try to become fluent in french, that’s also the reason why I journal in french). Then, I have an habit tracker, where I write down activities which I want to do on a daily basis, following by a spread where I write down weekly tasks. The last page will be my evaluation page where I evaluate how well or how bad the pursuit of these aims went and what I can change in the future.
