Way to go Congratz!! Does the hunger game book have anything to do with "hunger games" book trilogy? Such a good read too.

That is super interesting, I heard the same in german class: by end of A2 most of the grammar should be done.

If you can afford a second tutor just for conversations I'd say do it! I realized that I can study endlessly but real conversation is only getting easier by real practice. Not only listening but having a nice flow yourself is also something that needs to be practiced.

You are such a good example of truly motivated and inspiring learner. Hope to hear how it goes with the study material!

I'm obviously limited to my own bubble, but my friends / aquintances consist mostly of "tech aware" people and they have been getting cozy with Fedora and Linux Mint due to the BuyFromEU/BuyFromEurope movement.

I know from a few schools that they use ChromeBooks since corona pandemic (they were handing them to kids so everyone could equally attend remotely) and they just kept using them since they had them when they returned to classrooms. I don't know how widespread this is and don't know if chromebooks count towards linux desktop stats?

Yup, same. Currently reading the 3 books on my commute to itch that scratch.

We had a real, similar case like this not too long ago in Finland (extensive article from Finnish national broadcasting company, NSFL text).

Court concluded that no one can give consent to be tortured/maimed/etc.

I'll be sure to give you a notice! I will probably make a post about it (which you are welcome to do sooner if you wish!) to e.g. !books@lemmy.world too!

Never read any of his works before, have to give it a read. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Nice! I imagine you go through a lot of books in a year!

Follow up if you have time: what book you've read recently that you'd like to recommend?

~~What is your typical day like?~~ seems like another user beat me to it. Let me ask instead: what is the most useful tool you use at work?

En ole :( Olen tylsä tonttu :(

Glad to hear I was able to offer something!

Please don't give up, it's usually when frustration is at its highest that we have actually made the most progress. It's just that you understand the language bit more now but you get frustrated by the more difficult parts of the language.

The initial fun of learning common phrases and words wears off quickly but at some point you'll get that back once you reach a certain level.
