Re: The Answers to Discussion Topics
New topic: "Is HTLAL up again?"
Q: Is Grit Overrated?
Definitely not in winter.
Your Language-related New Year's Resolutions?
I'll never make another language-related New Year's resolutions ever again.
How to effectively use a tutor at C1 level?
I'd rather use a tutor who is a native speaker.
Input-based language learning people
There are other types of language learning people?
Luxembourgish anyone?
Lots. Especially in Luxembourg.
How do you maintain multiple languages?
All languages seem to be doing fine without my intervention...

Yes - but for how long?
desitrader wrote:Q. How do I go from B2 to C1?
A. You can't. Diagonal moves are not allowed, you can only move up, down, or sideways. Pick a different game if you don't like the rules.
For black bishops this move would be legal, but for half of them it would mean 'go back to start'
The "th" in British English for a Dutch native
It is British, not Brithish - even for Dutch natives.
Multi-faceted vs best program ever
Couldn't the best program ever conceivably be multi-faceted?
Slow-cooked Korean
Kimchi shouldn't be cooked at all. Actually it should not even be eaten
Things you wish people would stop saying when you tell them the languages that you're learning
They shouldn't try to stop you listing them (better fall asleep or listen in silence and then speak about something else)
Speaking like a concise adult, or a 'natural' teenager?
Let me guess: an 'unnatural' teenager is a concise adult who tries to speak like a teenager.
Samoan resources
Sand, water and coconuts
Demographics of Kaliningrad
Not what it used to be
Course Completion Challenge -- Open for business!
Weren't those challenges free until now?
Why aren't dead languages more popular in the polyglot community?
They died because they weren't popular enough
Improving confidence when speaking
Whose confidence? Not mine ...
