Tuta has been cool. Not sure if I want to commit yet though. Hate that can't use thunderbird with a free-account but I am considering just getting a paid account.

Exactly. And honestly that has brought a crap ton of unnecessary problems to our lives.

Going to a physical store, browsing, and chatting up with the clerk is all part of the overall experience that makes shopping enjoyable!

It's a slower task to do that than to order online, but might create a nice memory and you'll be more mindful of the things you buy :)

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I vote for the dang trees. I like trees.

If linkedin was filled with posts like this I could imagine actually browsing it once in awhile.

Edit: fixed a word.

That's an incredible feat, you should be proud!

I'm working ln the outputting as well. I struggle with speaking since I often can't keep up with the conversation but like you said: practice :)

Exactly!! I remember that one of my biggest motivations for learning English was to understand what is written/spoken in games. My native language was never available so I had no other choice.

I'm certain I only know some words because of playing games. Not knowing everything was indeed part of the fun!

4 weeks! It's the most intensive course I've ever taken for a single subject.

Thanks! I hope I'm still having fun after this week lol. Wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't working full time but I really wanted to do this to get forward with my grammar :)

Sadly I can't give any recommendations for French :( hope someone in this thread who is learning French can pitch in. If not, then it could be a good idea to make a post in this community asking for one maybe?

I know exactly how you feel though. I started my German language learning with duolingo (still do it!) and while it's fun I felt like I started struggling later on at higher levels since I didn't really understand the sentence structure and certain rules. Got myself a grammar book and I started enjoying duolingo again after that and find it still really useful for actual vocabulary training.

First week of daily intensive course is over and boy am I overwhelmed, but even more determined. The teacher is awesome and patient so it's actually a lot of fun.

Home chores do get ignored though.. Going to a 3 hour course after work is bit much.. But thankfully it's not for long.
