Yep, I agree. It’s just that since it is not longer required learning anywhere for anything, it’s dying. Which sucks.

Dankon, amiko!

Looking into the history of Ojibway right now because of your comment. Thank you!

Well here in the US, and in the state I’m in, not a lot of bilingual needs. I know Spanish is pretty popular in a lot of places, and I’ll eventually learn it. But since I’m 55 years old, esperanto seemed more fun. And it’s got an interesting history. Thanks!

I was thinking of learning Morse Code, even tho it’s pretty much extinct now that it’s not required for a radio license anymore. I like the history of it and how excited people were about it back in the day. I think it’s still important, so it sucks that it’s going away.

I love the idea of Toki Pona, since it’s quick and short. But I went for Esperanto instead. I may try Toki Pona again tho!

You can always start up again. We belive in you!

Dankon, amiko!

I am jealous fo your programming knowledge. I’d have a lot more money today if I had that skillset!

Ah, the propaedeutic effect? I think that Esperanto shows the “guts” of the grammar faster than other languages do, and that helps learning languages with similar features.

Yep, that’s what they say.

Whoa! I’m having a tough enough time just learning Esperanto, which is supposed to be easy. But bruh, you are a whole other level. Awesome!

Oy, those are tough ones for us English speakers.

Funny you mentioned the Hunger Games. I never read them until I took a job at a middle school last year. Every single classroom had rows of them on the bookshelves. So I grabbed a few. They are really good books! I get the hype now!

Thanks for that link. I’ll check it out!

Not considering audio books in the statistic is a little weird and comes off as attempted gatekeeping

Nah, not meaning it to look like that. I just like picturing people sitting reading. I listen to audiobooks myself. But I like reading the words. So it was just my personal preference for the post, not a judgement on audiobooks.

Love that!

Ok, thank you. I’m new to the world of buying used phones. Usually I just get online through my phone plan provider, so this should be an adventure. Thanks!!

If I didn’t have children and a gf, I’d go dumb phone all the way.

I’m thinking of getting on board with this. Is there a Pixel phone you recommend?

It’s even more toxic than it used to be. I was just on there today. Now I now why I don’t go there anymore! lol

Saluton!
