Το ροζ αβοκάντο
Ωχ! Πώς και μαθαίνεις ελληνικά;
This might sound random, especially in this community, but when you create a classroom, you can activate infinite hearts. Nobody has to be in that classroom. It really works or at least worked a few years back.
My beloved internet friend, thank you so, so much. I like duolingo for expanding my vocabulary, but the infantilizing gamification drives me nuts, to the point where when I run out of hearts, I just don’t use it for weeks. This little trick will make it so that I actually use it!
I went to a certain military training school with some linguists, and they told me they had face-to-face proficiency tests like quarterly.
The tests would start with normal benign conversational topics, like one would expect, but then escalate to weirdness from there.
Things like “Are you more worried about the recent nuclear-waste-being-found-in-kayaks issue, or the ongoing chihuahuas-shitting-out-whole-uncured-meat-products problem?”. The point was to see if the linguist could piece together information from non-standard esoteric shit.
Those 615 giraffes look like they’d fit right into such a test.
