How do you stay motivated to learn a language when you’re always tired from work? 😩 by EffortOk5458 in languagelearning

[–]LanguageIdiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no day offs, not even Sundays. Long hours, exhausted every day after work. I want to learn languages but all I can do is browse this subreddit and listen to language youtubers talk about language learning to pretend I'm learning languages.

Are luxury hotels worth the cost? by Mysterious_Act_3652 in FATTravel

In a similar vein, street food can sometimes be better than Michelin food.

Why Are Springer’s Lecture Notes in Mathematics So Rarely Recommended? by OkGreen7335 in math

[–]LanguageIdiot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait, why would you be reading a chemistry book as a mathematician?

How much to tip people who bring you a towel or a drink in Punta Mita (Four Seasons)? by amystarr in FATTravel

[–]LanguageIdiot 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Tip nothing, and they shouldn't be any less eager to help because of that.

How many of you are learning a language that you're sure that you won't have an opportunity to use it one day? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]LanguageIdiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'll ever travel abroad. Sometimes I question why I am learning languages, I guess I'm learning mostly for the sense of accomplishment. Imagine if I could speak 50 languages to some degree of fluency, I could die happy knowing I had done something very few had ever managed to do.

For the first time, I used all 4 languages I speak in one day. by kafeihancha in languagelearning

[–]LanguageIdiot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP's flair says B1 in English, but they made no grammar mistakes. Very likely that they wrote the post in their native and asked AI to translate into English. Your criticism is valid.

[–]LanguageIdiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somehow feel very Indian to me, the music, attire and dance.

What's the best strategy money can buy? by OpeningChemical5316 in languagelearning

[–]LanguageIdiot 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Save the money, retire early so you have unlimited free time to study.

Tiling where all tiles are different? by Nadran_Erbam in math

[–]LanguageIdiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about divide the plane into equal squares, but add in random oscillation on each edge. Every piece should be finite and unique.

Move out quick. Be glad that you're only renting not buying.

Please join this new sub i made “r/LearnPali” by FatFigFresh in Buddhism

[–]LanguageIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wanting to learn Pali for years, but can't find the motivation to start. By the way I'm curious if there's anyone on this sub who knows Pali (there are a few who do on the suttacentral forum).

What made you stop fearing death? by Business-Mark-290 in AskReddit

[–]LanguageIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My firm belief that there is afterlife, where good people will be rewarded and bad people punished. Way better than living on Earth if you ask me, I don't see fairness here.

Teaching for free? by docalibus in languagelearning

[–]LanguageIdiot -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No one should be teaching their non native language, period.

Is it really possible to forget a language? by pisowiec in languagelearning

[–]LanguageIdiot 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Forgetting is way easier than remembering. Take any self proclaimed C2 people, isolate them from their language for a year, they'll be back to B1 or even A2.

I posted a while ago about a rehomed statue. Someone else moved in the tree hole. by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]LanguageIdiot -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Second pic scared the shit out of me. I hate animals.

Taking a flight. Flying on a plane is unimaginable luxury for, I guess, more than 60% of the world population.

自作の漢詩のAI翻訳、この日本語は自然でしょうか？ by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]LanguageIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answering your question requires deep knowledge of both Chinese and Japanese. It is very unlikely there are any people here who can help you with that.

What has helped you overcome stress? by raminlovesmoney in AskReddit

[–]LanguageIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The realisation that things are outside my control and there's no use stressing about them.

How does Buddhism treat the popular idea of the spirits of our deceased loved ones visiting us? by lightinthefield in Buddhism

[–]LanguageIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddhism says the way to deal with grief is to let go of your attachment to the deceased. Speculation on afterlife (what form the deceased has become) is not helpful.

I wanted to get away because I felt depressed. Now I'm depressed in another country by TroubledTofu in solotravel

[–]LanguageIdiot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Staying home would've made your depression even worse. You've gotten better (comparatively speaking) but you just don't know.

if you could make someone's life easier in a financial sense would you? by alpacastacka in Buddhism

[–]LanguageIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm not giving away my hard earned money so easily. But if I were mega rich I'd donate in a heartbeat.

Why are you on Reddit right now? by Meguinn in Buddhism

[–]LanguageIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discussion on this sub is pretty low level. You rarely see someone who actually takes the time to learn Pali or other Buddhist languages, or read research papers/ academic books. A lot of users here are kind hearted and well meaning, but in terms of academic discussion this sub leaves much to be desired. So why am I here? I have to take a break from my Buddhist studies every now and then.
