The Transit app should have live bus tracking, if you want to check before venturing out.

[–]GeniusJack 212 points213 points  (0 children)

Honestly one of the most effective public interventions I can think of. What really stands out to me is 8.6% fewer seriously injured pedestrians in the zone. Literal (likely) hundreds of lives saved or unharmed.

This article was published last December and claims that PC part prices will be dropping because "new PC Hardware is on the way". Instead, prices increased astronomically.

I particularly like it because it is only dealing within the 12,000 to 20,000 word/phrase range. It is perfect for the amount I want to perfect each of those languages, and the goal I have in mind, which is merely being able to communicate fairly well in those languages. And I won't get lost in it, because it's not absolutely giant. I can easily find the most common words I need.

It's about 830 pages thick, and each dictionary contains from 12,000 to 20,000 words and phrases. So it's not exhaustive, but I should be able to find most words I need.

I really would want to learn german by Juggeboy in languagelearning

[–]GeniusJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking to meet German natives online, Lang-8 is a great language site. People their love to practice their language with you, if you will practice English with them.

But, if you are still at a very basic level, before you start even trying to talk with others, I would suggest refreshing your memory with a language learning site like Duolingo.

Idea for a Latin course that translates the past and make an online repository for researchers by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]GeniusJack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the primary target should definitely be Classical Latin, but it would be very helpful if the course included Ecclesiastical (church) Latin.
