Do you know how people of your target language do things differently in casual text messages/on the internet?

A good example: russians often drop the double dot from smiling face )))) vs. :)))) or how in some middle-eastern languages they write hhhhhhh instead of the "hahaha".

Lol love the connection to grass! Thanks for sharing.

Focus has been an ongoing struggle for many here sadly. Guess it's also because listening comprehension can be quite taxing too. Let us know how it goes and what you tried out!
