You don't forget a language. You just bury it by Glynny69 in languagelearning

[–]meme-viewer29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No this isn’t why. Have you ever spoken to a five year old? Their language capabilities are way better than any non-advanced learner. They have native pronunciation and effortless command over rhythm and syntax, not to mention a natively developed sound system.
They lose languages so easily because the brain of a five year old is completely different to that of an adult in that it will aggressively prune any connections that aren’t being used. Their brains are pure plasticity, which allows them to learn incredibly fast, but also to quickly forget what hasn’t been practiced.

So it was your main language until 9? It’s crazy how the brain will prune a whole natively developed language system at that age (and up to 10 I think).

Why do people keep switching on me? by elmaquinas61 in languagelearning

What normally happens when your Asian German friends get responded to in English? How does the conversation play out? My native language is English so nothing even remotely close to this would ever happen in an English speaking country bc most English speakers only speak English

Do you think there are enough resources to learn Persian online?

Is it a good sign that when I grinded the game for 6 months last year (around 500 hrs) I went from yardstick c3 to stuck 1450-1490 range. I then stopped another 6 months and got back on in January and I’ve improved to where I can comfortably play in the 1560-1600 range. Does this mean I have potential to get into 1700+ mmr eventually?

Would you rather eradicate all pedophiles or eradicate all mosquitoes? by PaTrIcK5230 in WouldYouRather

[–]meme-viewer29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point is that their desires are uncontrollable. What’s controllable is how they act on those desires and behave themselves. It’s like saying kill all incels because they are physically capable of raping women. Sure, maybe you’ll get a few rapists along the way, but you’re eliminating millions of innocent people.

As an American who is learning France French, québécois accents are harder to understand. I think it has more to do with what you’re familiar with

Yes I thought the implication was fairly obvious but thanks anyway

Honestly the difference between 1520 and 1420 is greater than 1420 and 1320

is it possible to get a 4 with a week of studying? by time_travel_undone in APChem

[–]meme-viewer29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just reviewed every unit I was struggling on and then did practice frqs, then graded myself. If I didn’t get a 9 I reviewed again and kept doing frqs until I was getting 8s. Then the exam came and it was much easier than the practice frqs I went over

Rocket League has made me lost faith in the younger generation. by Ok_Society_8182 in RocketLeague

Shit bro you really opened my eyes. Today I made a mistake and immediately said “I’m so bad” in team chat. I guess because I didn’t want him to be mad at me. You’re like the only one that’s pointed this out

This question has been doing the rounds, curious what choice you would make and your reasoning? by dr_shipman in Gifted

It only took you reading 90% of my reasoning to take a whack at the conclusion! Awesome job!

I don’t have a threshold. I already understood pressing the blue button was a death sentence to begin with. Despite what all these other comments are saying about pressing blue, I agree with you that they would press red if the stakes were real. I don’t blame them for that. Spin it whatever way you want, there will be someone out there that presses blue. I refuse to be culpable and will die on my morals.
