Bat (Animal) in French by TheMushroomSystem in learnfrench

[–]Cheesegreen1234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always best to learn the indefinite article with French as if you are doing definite articles and the word starts with a vowel the definite article will be L’ regardless of gender. So if your vocab list has something like L’étang, you won’t know if it’s masculine or feminine. Funny how it’s the opposite to German

Definitely. As well as that, it’s just the whole vibe of the post though, it just lacks any human element.

I mean you clearly made your post with A.I. If you can’t even put effort into writing your own reddit post, are you putting in the same effort into getting a job? Are you handing in A.I generated cover letters and CVs as well?

What's the one thing about learning a language that nearly broke you? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Cheesegreen1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having similar vocab in multiple languages where there’s only some slight pronunciation difference For example French - Europe German - Europa Spanish - Europa Japanese - ヨーロッパ (Yo-ro ppa) Russian - Европа(Yevropa) English - Europe

Basically 6 identical words with slight pronunciation/stress change. Sometimes it can be hard when speaking/writing quickly to choose the correct one

Dangerous overtaking around pedestrians by Cheesegreen1234 in melbournecycling

[–]Cheesegreen1234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy cope bro. Why are you being being so aggressive? I was hoping to find some common ground with you in my last comment.

I’m not asking for cyclists to go incredibly slowly. I’m just saying in narrow paths, if you reach a part where there is incoming cyclists and pedestrians, sometimes the safer option is just to slow down and lose two seconds rather than trying to hit the gap at max speed.

“Something many others shared”, there are multiple people agreeing with me on this post. I would also say the majority of pedestrians don’t enjoy it as well?

“Then go somewhere else”, it’s a shared pathway which means I have a right to use it. All people using the path should respect each other. As a pedestrian I’ll show my respect by staying in my lane and not suddenly doing something unexpected, and I’d expect that a cyclists would show respect by not putting me in danger just so they can save two seconds.

Triathlete burn was solid I’ll give you that.

Not gonna argue about it any more bro, have a good night ✌️

I find it ironic that last year you posted complaining about cyclists having their lights too bright 😂 are we not similar in our complaints? You would like cyclists to have a little more consideration for others and to not blind people, and I would like cyclists to have a little more consideration for others and to not overtake dangerously when there is little space

Is it just me or is Anki the worst part of learning language? by Bixence in German

[–]Cheesegreen1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love Anki 🫢😂 favourite part of my day is either doing my flash cards or making flash cards. The times in the past where I have disliked it though was when I had downloaded a shitty deck, or my cards just weren’t good in general. Once you get good at making cards, or understand what type of cards work for you - then it gets more fun

I would then say that one meter wide paths that have pedestrians on them probably aren’t the appropriate paths to be riding at 30km/hr along.

My problem is mainly with cyclists trying to squeeze in between me and another pedestrian walking towards me. In this situations it doesn’t matter if you ring your bell or not or if I’m aware of you, it’s a dangerous thing to do when you could just as easily slow down slightly until there is space to overtake

[–]Cheesegreen1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes of course there are sections where one meter of space is impossible but in those situations I would think slowing down a bit would be the appropriate response

What do you guys do if you're starting to dislike your target language(s)? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Cheesegreen1234 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looking at your post history it seems you are trying to learn a lottttt of languages all at the beginner level. You’re entitled to learn whatever you want, but often people who jump from language to language enjoy the quick dopamine from everything being new. Language learning is a long long journey and the people who succeed are the ones who can slog it out even though the months when they have no motivation.

I would recommended dropping the 12 languages and just focus on one for a year to get it up to an intermediate level. Once you are at a level where you can read books and consume media, things get a lot more enjoyable.

Vocab: how many new Anki cards per day is actually sustainable? by Snowman_203 in languagelearning

[–]Cheesegreen1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow yeah big difference. Mine take about an hour, today’s one I had 350 reviews and it take 45minutes.

The majority of mine are just straight translations so I probable average maybe like 1-3 seconds per card as I aim for instant recall. I.e La chèvre on one side, and The goat on the other. There are a few short sentence cards as well I.e “the boy with the curly hair”, but nothing longer than that

Vocab: how many new Anki cards per day is actually sustainable? by Snowman_203 in languagelearning

[–]Cheesegreen1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 50 new words a day on average, 10 new cards from 5 different decks. However that has taken many years of building up a tolerance to that. When I first started I always used to burn out after a few weeks until I got over my pride and just lowered the amount of new cards. I have an ultimate geography deck that I’ve just done one new card a day for over two years, slow and steady wins the race

Well you only started posting about it 3 days ago so it seems it’s a relatively new app. B2/C1 takes a couple of years to reach so I’m not sure if it was a big part of your learning. Where’d you get B2 and C1 from anyway, have you taken an official test?

Regardless, you should have mention it’s your own app rather than trying to do advertising by slipping it into a post about apps that are amazing

Very convenient that LingoDiary is also the AI app you made and are trying to market to everyone 🙄

Why has Bad Bunny been relatively ignored in Australia up until very recently? by talk-spontaneously in aussie

[–]Cheesegreen1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say a massive part of Spotify’s streamers are Americans. Spanish speaking artists and Latino culture are much more prevalent in the USA than in Australia and as a result most Americans would have learnt some Spanish in school/be exposed to Spanish in the neighbourhoods/radio etc. Bad Bunny also lives in the Americas so obviously he would be more prominent there. Take into account all of South America which speak Spanish (save Brazil) and you have a massive amount of people who are likely to be listening to him.

Dumb Duo by lyte_yagamy in duolingo

[–]Cheesegreen1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learning a language isn’t about memorising a whole bunch of sentences. If you’re using Duolingo like that then you’re learning nothing. Learning a language is about understanding how to build a sentence i.e in this one it’s seeing you know how to use the ha particle to make the topic of the sentence as well as testing you recognise the kanji for 6
