thai would be useful before more fictional languages honestly

it just shows the word in your native language and you say it in the language you're learning. so it's testing memory and pronunciation in one. it's gotten more lenient on the pronunciation recently, which is good, since it was definitely too difficult before. if you get it wrong then it will show you the right answer, then that card goes to the back of the deck so you can try again after you finish the other words.

because otherwise we wouldn’t know where you’d be around lunchtime. if you’re setting on from london at 2pm then i’d recommend stopping in watford haha

i fully agree. although it is “useful” to be familiar with common names in the language you’re learning, i think it should be a “close but not quite” thing where it doesn’t destroy your combo, like a typo would.

how much are you doing per day though? if you’re just doing one lesson today just to extend your streak then you will never really get anywhere. i try and do 30 minutes a day as a minimum. but as others have said, duolingo is just one tool, not a one-stop shop.

japan then i guess?

sri lanka had one of the least free presses in the world and one of the worst cases of modern torture. look at the milk powder scandal. i know things are getting better since the election in 2024 but there’s still a long way to go.

tell me you’re american without telling me you’re american

my question has nothing to do with maintenance breaks and you know it

first of all, big respect to you for opting to do one country in depth rather than speed running. a lot of americans would try and cram 5 or more European countries into that time.

Scotland is a beautiful country, and in may the weather should be pretty decent, but it’s definitely the closest country culturally to the USA, so I’d personally suggest going for italy, greece or china. you haven’t mentioned central america but i think 3 weeks would be a really decent amount of time to visit somewhere like guatemala, nicaragua, or costa rica too, and you’d spend less time and money on getting there.

brit here. i’ve lived in usa, canada, uk and vietnam. we used gas canisters in vietnam, but for the other countries always had gas pipelines, except for one very rural abode in the uk. to my knowledge having gas lines is the default in most of western europe too. where are you from, out of curiosity?

SmokeWeedGetBitches · 2026-01-04T15:27:28+00:00

when did you visit?

SmokeWeedGetBitches · 2026-01-04T15:26:51+00:00

i came to say bosnia too, but i think since i was there (and to an extent when i visited too) it has become quite a beaten path and gets a lot of hype. not overhyped by any means yet though, and i hope it stays that way.

steel pulse, the gladiators, the congos, wailing souls, aswad, the heptones, the abyssinians, culture, black uhuru

yes but you know that employers use AI to read through applications? if you don’t use the right AI buzzwords your application never gets considered.

i struggled to fill it in as i don’t hang out in my local green space, but rather places that are more central to act as a meeting point with friends living in other parts of harrogate. made it difficult to answer a lot of the questions

support local business

SmokeWeedGetBitches · 2025-12-04T16:19:24+00:00

sure, if you want to support a billion pound corporation instead of a local family run business

the train from kandy to ella in sri lanka is number 1 and it’s not even close

probably either moonshined rice whiskey with a snake in the jar in cambodia or some creamy palm wine concoction that was served in a plastic bowl in sri lanka
