Ya just gotta accept and move on.

Even when people seemingly gang up on you for no reason.

If ya fucked up, move on. If you didn't fuck up (even tho people try to say you did), stand up and stand by what you did.

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

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!

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.

I am a native English speaker and recently started learning Esperanto a few weeks ago. I was inspired by a TED Talk that explained how Esperanto is an excellent first choice for those interested in acquiring multiple languages.

Due to its relative simplicity, learning Esperanto effectively prepares your brain for learning additional languages, making the process quicker and smoother.

So how many here speak different languages and what are they?

I'm putting in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves for my living room today. I mostly read e-books on my Kindle, but I have an affection for old paperback pulp books from 60's and 70's.

So I go to ebay and buy "lots" of them fairly cheap, not caring about the titles. Sometimes 10 books at a time. Now that I'm retired I plan to read every single one, even the bad ones. I have the equivalent of a small home library of them now.

How many fiction books do you all read? E-book or paperback. But not interesting in audiobooks. I'm curious about physically-read books.

If you had more free time without any additional income, what would you do? (lemmy-mormonsatan-u23030.vm.elestio.app)
 

I'm retired so I fill my days doing whatever I want. But I'm always interested in what other people would do if they had more free time.
