Maybe we just have different definitions of a structured course? To me a structured course is: *Here's a video, here's exercise, that's homework, this is a little fragment to read. The videos are not connected in any way, I c

No, English is not my first language. "You implied my approach is ill-informed, and you gave absurd alternatives for my use case. I’m still pissed off thinking about it." - that was not my intention at all. Because there isn&#x27

What I said is "But at some point, when you start understanding more, something as simple as watching 20 minutes of The Simpsons in language you're learning instead of English is an immersion. " I don't suggest watching

I don't see Dreaming Spanish as a structured course. If you do, ok, my recommendation might not make as much sense. The way I see Dreaming Spanish is an adult version of kids shows where they point at things and explain things in simpl

It is a lot of time. But at some point, when you start understanding more, something as simple as watching 20 minutes of The Simpsons in language you're learning instead of English is an immersion. You listen to a podcast or a radio an

First of - rude. Why would you post something like this on a comment that was actually trying to share some tips with you? I kind of want to ignore it now and say 'well good luck then' but at the same time I want to ignore it and

Alternative: watch native content. Start with easy short content, build up to vlogs, series, movies. The idea of 'convenient 10 minutes a day' will get you nowhere. People who seriously want to learn a language know it takes 1-2-3

I use Stacked. But only because I enjoyed books & content written by the creator. It's not as easy to adjust as other apps, but it's totally free and I think it's visually pleasing.

I'm still hoping to find a list of all libraries you can sign up to online. I found one in New York and Essex (UK). I will probably never get through all the books they offer but I want MORE! :)

Really appreciate it! I'll have to look into it in a bit more detail. I'm a little tired of having to plug my laptop in via HDMI every time I want to play a movie I can't find on netflix. The only problem is, I don't hav

As I'm a complete 0 at IT, would you mind explaining how one gets started with this? I have VPN, I've torrented before. How does Jellyfin work and what do I need? Does it sit locally on a laptop/PC (so takes up space) and if

I use DeepL for Spanish to English translation on a daily basis and can honestly say this tool made language learning so much easier. It's amazing to see how it can easily change the translation of the word as you type in the full sen

Congrats! I'm actually quite surprised because you must be the first person that learned a language using Duolingo. Most people I spoke with said they only learned how to answer Duo questions, not the language itself.

Any gov services must go through very detailed assessments. Quite often moving from "public beta" to "live" takes years - lots of data is required. So yes, they did only just go live, they were in beta :)

I AM THE OP (felt like I needed to say that to not break the chain :D ) I feel like your questions were answered - pretty much the answer I'd give. 1) The only cost is cost of a person who has a deep understanding of Google Analytics.

Google Analytics has 3 layers: -the vanity metrics anyone can look at - this is what you described. How many pages did they view, how much time did they spend on the page? -users interactions - this requires some skill. You can set up custo

Dreaming Spanish is awesome! Totally recommend his YouTube but also his website - few £/$ a month to support him and have access to thousands of videos!

I remember Udacity was doing some 'get 1 month free' deal about a year ago. Most of the online learning platforms had that deal (in different forms - weekend, week, month). And even though most of their courses say 4-5 months to c

I take you are using Google Analytics 4. You should still be able to use the older version (Universal Analytics) where you shouldn't have any problems with displaying full URL (including hostname). It's usually a setting/filt

Would you mind sharing what you used to learn cooking? My main struggle is recipe books that teach you the recipe rather than cooking. But I'd love to learn HOW to cook, not WHAT to cook.

Any recommendations on how to get started? Books, courses?

What would you recommend to pass the level where you can use SQL to get the data you need and move on to a more advanced level? Any particular book/course?

One thing I'm not a fan of is that some of them only provide slides. You can obviously get great summaries on slides, but they're not the greatest for someone who just started learning.

Maybe I’m just looking at a wrong place but can you tell me what currency is used in fines? I’m assuming it’s EUR but wanted to double check.

I’m pretty sure “No such thing as a fish” mentioned that working on a treadmill doesn’t do you any good.I think they said the research showed that only one thing was improved (energy levels I believe) but they users were failing at everythi
