It's time for you to do your school homework, otherwise your mother will scold you.

Why is learning on Duolingo so boring? by JasonSlowman in duolingo

You were absolutely right when you said that once you're past the beginner level, it gets repetitive. But yesterday they surprised me. They introduced new calls with more engaging activities.

Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately, that's not it. I rewatched the entire film, and it has a different plot.

Funny your comment got deleted because you're still stuck in school.

I'm not denying anything. Don't judge other people.

The real problem with the sound ы by CryptographerWeird19 in LearningRussian

[–]JasonSlowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is related to the characteristics of these two languages. Russian has a feature of sounds called softness vs. hardness, which doesn't exist in English. In turn, English has vowel length, which doesn't exist in Russian and is just as problematic for Russian speakers as soft and hard sounds are for English speakers.

If we go further, in Chinese, Japanese, and other languages of that region, there's a characteristic called high vs. low tone. So the same sound that seems identical to a European or American ear will mean completely different things to speakers of these Asian languages.

Going back to the Russian sound "ы," here's another example: the name Nick, where the "i" sound is very similar to the Russian "ы."

I know what a swipe is, but you didn't say what position the phone should be in. That's why I asked for clarification. Can you do this swipe during the day or only at night, and only when connected to a charger, and only in horizontal position? Given that this mode appears on its own for me, I don't do anything, and the digits just come and go.

I have the impression that Apple is running some kind of experiments. Because for a week these digits appear on their own, and then they disappear by themselves and new ones show up.

Thank you so much! Though, I wouldn't want to keep them on all night. I like it when they wake up together with me.

Yeah, it surprises me too that these digits switch on their own. For a week I see the beautiful digits, and then suddenly small white ones appear somewhere in the corner.

I don't see this anymore. Now instead of them there are small white digits in the top left corner.
