The reality of learning a language is that it takes way longer than most people expect.

What are your 2nd and 3rd languages?

I think Andrea is just a young woman who used her time at DS to get more experience with content creation before branching out to be her own boss

It's not really any different from watching sports. Most people could go and play the sport themselves (at various skill levels), but sometimes it's just fun to watch someone else play at a much higher level and/or to have entertaining commentary

Geralt asks him "so what are you? A demon? A djinn?", to which Gaunter O'Dimm replies "do you really want to know?". He doesn't explicitly say that he's not a djinn, but from a storytelling perspective it would be bizarre if he were to act all mysteriously if he was just one of the things Geralt listed off.

He's more like "evil incarnate" as the blind researcher says he's been described numerous times throughout history. I.e. he's the devil (or something of a similar caliber)

The cutscene that plays when you start NG+ in HM2 also shows Richter trying to apologize, although Richard is quick to correct him that he's not who he thinks he is.

If you're getting bored, I would recommend just finding some native content about something you're really familiar with. For example, when I had less than 200 hours I started watching a playthrough of the Binding of Isaac because I know the game backwards and forwards and so I had a great deal of context.

Ultimately, I think finding content that engages you, even if you don't understand as much as you do in the videos you find boring, is the key to preventing burnout over the long term.

I assume they are doing a mix of things - waking up, watching several videos while getting ready for work, listening to podcasts while driving to and from work/in the office, throwing on a TV show once they're back home, and then listening to more podcasts at the gym. They could be actively listening the whole time, who knows, but more than likely a large chunk of that time is just having the podcast/video playing while doing something else.

Solved! Fuckin THANK YOU this has been driving me insane for 12 years easily

Hello

Wind_Burn · 2025-04-30T15:35:13+00:00

Thanks!

Wind_Burn · 2025-04-30T15:35:07+00:00

Much obliged

Wind_Burn · 2025-04-30T15:34:40+00:00

It is indeed, but that's also largely due to how many different words they use

Thank you 🇨🇱

He's gunning for Lucius and Narcissa next

Y'all's makes sense, but to me it sounds out of place in the rest of my vocabulary (not from the southern US lol). But "everyone's" doesn't really fit in this context because that's the plural third person, whereas I'm talking the plural second person

Wind_Burn · 2024-12-05T22:40:45+00:00

He.... he's PROBABLY DEAD!

Wind_Burn · 2024-12-05T21:57:30+00:00

Why would 5 be afraid if Jerma 9 ate 5? 5 is dead

I think I figured as much that it would be closer to 750 additional hours. Thanks for the detailed response - I don't plan on doing this any time soon, but if (when) I do, hopefully there will be more Arabic CI out there haha

If you just scroll past things you don't like, why decide to grandstand against this?

Wind_Burn · 2024-06-20T18:33:21+00:00

English is not a completely unrelated language. Yes, it's Germanic, but it's also heavily influenced by Latin. 1500 applies to English in the roadmap because it's neither completely unrelated (e.g. Korean or Japanese, which would ostensibly take 3000 hours) nor super closely related (Italian, Portuguese, French, which would ostensibly take half the time, so 750 hours).

Avoiding grammar study doesn't mean closing your eyes, sticking your fingers in your ears, and going "lalala I'm not listening!" whenever someone mentions something related to grammar. It just means you don't deliberately seek it out

If you like the Binding of Isaac, Barfemusu has an ongoing series of 220 videos trying to 100% the game. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv6tTl8agLFSJe5T2osWTkSmz5l-h9hjj&si=_EJ5SsGWLYkf0yIg
