News: this community has a new head-mod :)

Näyttää siltä, että koko sivusto on pelkkää javascriptiä ja sisältö ladataan ja luodaan dynaamisesti :(

Mutta toi että Tor selain kaatuu kun sallit javascriptin kuulostaa oudolta. Oisko täällä joku muu joka pystyisi testaamaan? Olen itse kännykällä liikenteessä.

Edit: halusin lisätä, että minun tietääkseni ja ymmärtääkseni uusijuttu on muuten ihan luotettava journalistinen lähde. Korjatkaa jos oma muisti ja wikipedia ei kerro koko totuutta

Just in case someone is looking for a quick answer to this question: 20:00 UTC+2

Currently trying to collect the yearly “education voucher” that my city offers for a languge course. This is a PSA for others to check if your town / union / workplace offers something like this. I didn’t know about mine until someone told me.

10 new words were added to my vocabulary (needed to use those words for a conversation I was preparing for)!

Thank you Quentin for all the hard work you have done in the last 5 years, and for Sopuli!

Ja hyvää kakkupäivää :)

Thanks nocturne! You don’t have to live in or near Lahti ( neither do I :) ).

Ja puhut hyvää suomea! Ymmärsin, mitä halusit sanoa. Ja täällä voi puhua myös Englantia :)

That’s good advice :) though understandably those who are already mods elsewhere have their hands full and not eager to take on more to moderate.

I hate dativ… It gives me so much trouble. But that’s a good plan you got there. I am also counting on repitition.

Progress kinda creeps up on us, be proud! I know that feeling. Recently felt like I am not really able to speak in my target language but I surprised myself in a real situation.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Happy that you find strength in these threads though.

Hope you were able to find some time and joy in learning, but it’s also ok to slow it down sometimes. We’ll be here for you!

Sounds to me like you’ve made a great leap in your learning! It is indeed psychological and you aren’t taking any steps back. Realising where you are lacking is in itself a step forward!

Talking to yourself is something that I also try to do to practice German. A one-on-one conversation is stressful because you don’t want to always keep the other person waiting until you form a proper sentence structure in your head, but you yourself have time to listen to yourself until you get more comfortable :)

That’s actually a cool idea. Sounds like a great motivation for learning and a good way to actually remember the sentences.

Glad to hear you are getting back into it :)

Wishing you good and cozy learning sessions :)

This is useful, thanks for sharing! And we’ve got a few finnish learners commenting once in awhile here so I believe they’d also be interested!

Sorry for the delay, we thought about your suggestion and, as you suggested as an option, removed the community entirely (can be recreated if there’s ever the need).

I still use www. subdomain on my websites, but omit it for domains that are not meant to be visited by people browsing internet (e.g. “api.example.com”, or web applications (more complex websites that are not for just scroll-and-read, e.g. “example.app” or app.example.com).

Defimitely recommend checking it out if you are ever in the area. Very beautiful. They also have a lunch restaurant during weekdays.

I hope so too. For sure there are, but hopefully it’s the majority.

I am speaking from inside my own bubble, but I’ve seen non-techy acquaintances reduce social media usage thanks to it being filled with AI generated content and had hopes for a better future. Now reading that article and mention of 2,5m users following this account shattered that hope.

Hmm yeah I understand. Communities can be super toxic too with all their gatekeeping.

Hope you find a language you enjoy learning.
