Technically all you have to do to learn a language is drill flash cards and watch tv but the problem is the amount of flash cards and tv and what they don’t tell you is that your brain will protest the entire time

If you already watch tv in your target language constantly this will be easier for you. Just start doing flash cards instead of candy crush, turn off the English subtitles, and fight through the headaches. But I wanna keep watching stuff in English is my problem. All my favorite stuff is in English :(

Btw if you were looking for a low effort but incredibly time consuming way to learn a language, that’s the whole thing. Download Anki, put together some vocab lists, and switch the language to Italian on Netflix. You won’t understand what’s going on at first but that’s also what babies go through and the advantage you have over babies is the flash cards. Have fun.

Stage? Like section you get to later? No, my friend. With this method, that’s the whole thing. Tv and flash cards from day one. Piece grammar together in your head with your subconscious synapse firing like the baby.

You need to pursue this method with the dedication and fanaticism of a 17 year old weeb who wears cat ears to school.

For everyone mourning the death of mindsnacks you should try Drops. Even the free version has a lot in it and I find it fun at least.

as someone who studies many languages and has tried many different ways to do so and helps other people do so as well, this is one of the stupidest sounding but most efficient ways to do it

Secular people idolizing Joan of Arc doesn’t actually make any sense. Her story is only inspiring if the existence of God is believed in. In other words either Joan of Arc was actually hearing God in her head or she was incredibly mentally ill and her story isn’t inspiring at all.

Hollywood is a helluva drug

Please tell me that's not really Sophie Turner.

She had that buccal fat removal surgery

She was so freaking beautiful, man, that is so sad. Screw Hollywood, screw all this.

She literally looks dead

the fact that tolkien started writing lord of the rings, realised that the entire concept of the one ring made various plot elements of the hobbit fall to pieces, and dealt with this by saying 'the reason this makes no sense is because the hobbit is from bilbo's perspective and he fudged the truth' is already extremely powerful. but then he actually went the extra mile and re-released the book as essentially the same book but with the plot holes fixed and said 'please enjoy this Objectively True version of this story, untainted by bilbo's mischievous lies' like what a flex. absolute madlad
