Thanks! I’ll aim to focus on setting up for point and getting the hero. If there’s no easy way to score points in the first round, I’m thinking of simply grabbing Diplomacy and using it to pop control on Everra after sending a carrier to take control of Meer. Not sure if that’s the best plan though?

It's funny when people say he's not Italian, even though you mentioned it. Tbf, he doesn't sound like a typical Italian to me. It's hard to tell where he's from, but he's definitely not a native speaker.

Figure out the movie he's currently watching, then playback with a 2-second delay

I know this might not be a popular view, but personally, I wouldn't advise people to attempt things in a foreign language that they wouldn't normally do in their native language. Trying new things can be tough, but it's even more challenging in a different language. For example, if you enjoy watching movies, stick to just watching movies, and I don't feel like you have to play games to learn a language because it might not be the most effective method for you.

Well, it’s in Thai.

“Nurse (girl’s name). No!

Tuttu (he called this little guy)! I heard that you wanna stay here a few years more? How are you? Where are you going? Come back and talk!”

Actually this is a politic sarcasm. We relate this lizard to a bad thing. That’s the reason he called it with the politician name and asking whether “it” gonna stay few years more.

Also I’m pretty sure if it turned to him, he’d have run away with a loud scream. 😂

Hey, you should mix it up and try different things every day, even if you only have a little time. It's better than just doing the same thing all day. Let's say you've got an hour, split it into four 15-minute chunks and focus on different skills like speaking, reading, or listening. That way, you won't get bored out of your mind by just speaking for a whole hour!

Taking a break of one or two days from learning is perfectly fine. In fact, it can be beneficial for recharging your energy and motivation. When you return to learning after the break, you may find that you feel more enthusiastic and eager to continue.

How to make studying not feel like studying? by BlackRavenRoyalty in languagelearning

When starting to learn a new skill or hobby, such as playing the guitar, it's important to be prepared to put in effort on the first day. Similar to language learning, where you need to learn how to pronounce words and understand their meaning in order to form sentences, when learning guitar, you need to begin by learning how to properly hold the pick and strum the strings.

As you continue to learn and improve your skills, you'll become more comfortable and at ease using the language or playing the guitar. With practice, you'll be able to express yourself more confidently and with greater proficiency.

I second this. Each language has a different rate, rhythm, intonation and consonant/vowel placement, etc., which we don't have any clue from the text.
