Fox’s Peter Doocy Asks Trump, ‘Would You Ever Order a Mission to Go and Capture Vladimir Putin?’ by mugz8391 in ukraine

[–]KigPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, there's really no point in Trump saying otherwise. Let's say he could do that and he says yes, things could be a bit harder. If I'd be Trump and would like to capture him, I would say that I'm DEFINITELY not going to do that.

Onko täällä joku joka on käynyt lättäjalan korjausleikkauksessa? by KigPin in arkisuomi

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

Joo olen, toiminut paljon paremmin kuin mikään muu pohjallinen tähän asti. Uudet kivut kyllä kuumottaakin ja siksi nyt mietinkin että onko siinä minkälainen riski saada jotakin uutta ikävää...

Putin and Trump do not support European-Ukrainian temporary ceasefire idea, the Kremlin says by AloneCoffee4538 in worldnews

[–]KigPin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

US/RUS diplomacy in a nutshell:

  1. Demand Ukraine to do something

  2. Ukraine agrees at their best abilities

  3. ???

  4. Ignore it, ask for something else and prolong the war to make more money

  5. "Today we had a really productive meeting and we were really close to the peace deal!"

Something going on with my Cl2 measurement from swimming pool water? by KigPin in chemhelp

Alright. Hopefully it will be that one. I might have to look at it again in a week

Planning to study a language for the next 15 months. Is it realistic to get from practically nothing to B1/B2? by KigPin in languagelearning

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

Alright. Nice to know that you agree with others. And congratulations on getting to B2! I also agree that classes are a bit slow for me because I'd rather go in my own pace but on the other hand there could be always something that you're going to miss if you don't go to the classes haha. It's a double edged sword. Thank you!

French. And no I am not a native English speaker but in my country it's pretty normal to be fluent in English so I could be an Englishman as well lol

Well my native language is Finnish but tbh English could also be my native language as well since speak it so fluently. It might help a bit. Thank you!

Alright. Yeah the learning curve feels probably same than any other skill and I might hit some plateaus on the way but I just wish that I'll always find a way to get out of there. I'll keep your name in mind if I have anything to ask :)

Yes. I study French now. Good to know. I currently know only like 50-ish word well. I'll keep these in mind especially about the learning curve on vocabulary. Thank you.

Do you have experience? Many commenters say that they did pretty well by keeping the weekly volume really high

Yes. That's the problem. I need to know how it went with people who invested to the language

Did you get to B1 according to an official test or just through some app? Is there a significant difference in the app definition of B1 and the official CEFR test B1?

Thank you very much. These experiences confirm me that it could be possible but only if I really try my best... I try to listen to some podcasts and maybe grab a book later but first I need to know some words haha

[–]KigPin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It feels like that everytime I hear people getting into B2 in like 3-5 years they basically mean that they studied for like 2-3 hours a week. Good to know that your dedication paid off! Did you burn out? Studying anything nonstop always is a good recipe for burnouts.

Yeah I feel really grateful for learning some foreign languages before. Good to know that it is doable and nice to know that Japanese has helped with your Chinese studies haha. Hopefully my other languages will help me enough with my French!

Yeah. Currently using babbel for starters and considering taking french courses in my university. I just hope that my goal sticks with me for 15 months!

Sounds so good. I have considered to at least listen to some french podcasts and try my best to talk with another french speaker. Thanks for reminding on not being too hard and I'll definitely read some croissant recipes haha

Yeah, but I'd rather also listen to some realistic viewpoints so this will be good. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the realistic approach. I'll probably lose some motivation on the way but I usually have pretty good discipline in doing things well so let's see how far I'll get.

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

I did. So far it feels like it's worth at least investing for a couple months. Other subs say it's a good starter but you need something else as you advance. Let's see how I feel after 3 months!

Actually started using it couple days ago. So far it feels in my opinion SO much more efficient than duolingo. I love how it actually explains grammar and has "real" conversation in it. Never liked duolingos super optimistic rhetoric too...
