While I strongly dislike Duolingo, I don't automatically discard all language learning apps as useless.
For instance, my Japanese is currently being kept alive by one lazy class a week and the Renshuu app.
I am not half as conscientious as I would like to be, but this is still better than nothing.
And the badges are cute. Recently I got a Luffy from One Piece!

You're welcome to use both, but don't mistake one for the other.

Not seeing progress in your language? Rethink your listening style! Passive Listening: Just background noise. Active Listening: Full focus on native shows/subs, slowing audio, or dictation. Combine both for best results. Use passive as a sidekick and focus on active sessions!

๐ŸŽง Can you get fluent just by listening? Yes, but passive listening keeps you stuck. Real growth happens with active habits like shadowing.

Kids may absorb languages easily, but adults have key advantages: better pattern recognition, richer life experiences for context, and the discipline to maintain learning habits. Don't underestimate your ability to learn just because you're not a kid! Your brain is a powerhouse!

So Leo XIV drops a "magnificent" #letter and expects us all to be multi-lingual polyglots just to read it. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Apparently, divine wisdom is best served in a buffet of languages, because why make it easy when you can make it holy difficult? ๐Ÿ™„

Multilingual Ambiguity

Saluuuut! At the very beginning of my research on "Multilingual Concept" in programming, I realised something interesting about this topic. To be honest, I just wanted to use some Python code within Java, however, in this way, I faced lots of different terminologies! They are completely confusing. And even worse,

Just an occasion to mention that recently an update, probably in the fonts or in firefox - I cant say, makes the japanese & chinese characters much more readable

It is as if the characters were thiner: as I am still learning both, complex sinograms like ๆธ›, ็ถš, ๆธ›,็›Š, ๆƒณ, ่ถ… were hardly decipherable and most often totally unreadable (for me). I do think I know this one ๆƒณ. I have to check/rework. Decomposed it shows as: Wood-Eye-Heart.

(edit: it's "think/thought")

I still don't know them, but at least I can more easily recognise the composite elements that makes them: readability increases/jumps greatly

I keep the sentence as a working sentence for #japanese, because such statement are so regular, that learning such characters, is guaranteed to be re-read again in other headlines

Here I am surprised Toyota ใƒˆใƒจใ‚ฟis written in #katakana I had the naive assumption all trademarks were in #Kanji . It's something I should make clear.
