I was about to use the Duolingo but I think it triggered me to hard. 2 mistakes in a row.
1. I have Portuguese origins and they used the Brazilian flag
2. I was born in Luxemburg and they just used our flag for The Netherlands (I know they're pretty similar but cmooooon)

Duolingo used to be better. New updates and restrictions are shit. Specially the whole "take a heart away for a mistake, five mistakes and you can't use the app for hours". Like, I get it, you couldn't manage the traffic. But this is ridiculous. Also, where did the lesson overviews go?9

Turns out, even spam in dR has its benefits :)
retoor's bot was asleep I guess, so I noticed a spanish spam post about taxi 24 horas [taxi with 24 whores]. And it was quite a good test for my spanish! Turns out, with Duolingo in one year one can learn to understand a language quite well. I only didn't know a few words in the spam post, but the rest I read as if it were english.
Daaayyuummm.. I was too sceptic about Dulingo :o4 -
So, I just downloaded Enki, and I love it. It is like the duoLingo of coding. Most other platforms don't hold you to a regimen, but Enki does. My favorite is the "Does it work in IE8" game! I really hope to sharpen my skills with this app.

I’m learning Japanese with Duolingo, so I enabled the keyboards in iOS. However I am not far enough along to know how to type what I need and the layout looks like it’s based on a 10 key phone. So for now I speak “おはよう” and have Siri do the writing.6

Update about my last rant: https://devrant.com/rants/11157064/...
I gave up with the idea of ever getting back together with my ex, accepted that it's over and moved on. I genuinely wish her the best in life.
Anyways, I found an Indonesian woman and we're officially dating now. It happened when I was with my bro on a trip to Indonesia almost 2 months ago.
At first I was hesitant because it could be more of an interest for my passport but I figured that she's interested in me instead because when texting she almost never initiated. I kept texting her every 2-5 days. Now that we're together she does it everyday by herself.
She's literally perfect and definitely a massive upgrade from my ex in every way possible. Same values, same goals, same hobbies, same views and same religion. She's emotionally intelligent. She's physically a 10/10, too. I'm surprised that I could "catch" someone like her tbh.
Only issue right now is the language barrier. She understands some English but not good enough to hold a conversation. She works on it with Duolingo everyday.
Writing this as we're sleeping in call.8
