Do you think this has helped ? My dream is to learn a 3rd language but I don't have many in person resources available in my town.
We just signed up, so we'll see. But I think she has also found library resources also, specifically Spanish for Medical Professionals (she's a Nurse Practitioner). Before my first trip to Japan, I focused mainly on watching Japanese shows, watched YT tutorials to learn numbers, travel phrases, etc. That met my needs which were minimal.
My son will be taking a Japanese Culture class in Tokyo in June, so he started learning Japanese on his own using Duolingo, but also got a couple of workbooks. He has already taught himself hiragana and katakana (2 of the 3 written alphabet) which he said are pretty easy. I just need to learn travel phrases for Japan so I have the easier task.
I still think immersion is key when learning a language. Tagalog is my first language, learned English early as a 1st grader, Spanish in grades 4-6, French in grades 7-12 plus a couple of years in college (7 years total). But English is the only one I truly use. Tagalog came back when I was watching a Filipino show recently - I understood 95% of it (not the slang and my vocab is limited to age 12). I used to go to Italy every year, 3-4 weeks at a time. I eventually picked up enough Italian to get by, far from fluent, but I could reserve a hotel room, order at a restaurant (including explaining all my dietary restrictions), ask for directions, converse with shop keepers -- all without taking an Italian lesson. I still order in Italian when I know the person speaks Italian (in the US).
Just my suggestion. Figure out what language you want for your 3rd. Start learning the basics with online resources. Stay in that country for a month or longer to solidify your knowledge. Even though I had taken years and years of French, it wasn't until I spent the summer in France that I really felt I was fluent. I even started to dream in French. When I returned to NY (where I lived at that time), everything that came out of my mouth for a few days was just French. I had to force my brain to switch to English.
I am always up for a good office romance; one of my favourite romance genres in BLs as well as in K-Dramas and C-Dramas.RXinw:
Me too. Although sometimes C-dramas get carried away with the whole corporate focus and work til we die attitude. Maybe not so much in BLs though.
I think there are some similarities we share for character personality preferences.
I think so...but maybe the not x-rated preferences part, lol.

You know, maybe I should consider writing an erotic novel one day 🤔
Like, I would be anonymous and have a pseudonym.
I need titles though, "Passionate Tears", or "A Naked Night" or, wait for it................. "The Second Cumming"...............LOL SCREAMING

Kinda on topic, kinda not but I watched The Handmaiden yesterday and omg 😳😳 I have not stopped thinking about it. Ik this is a BL group but still. That made me feel things I didn’t think I was capable of 😅 Highly recommend giving it a shot. But only if you’re 18+, alone, and have headphones. I watched the extended cut which is nearly 3 hours and for someone with the attention span of a goldfish, I wasn’t bored for a second of it
is it a korean movie? i will add it to my watch list ^^
Arc en ciel:
@RX It's been a while since I've heard you screaming around here. Now it feels normal. 🤣
LOL

You have my full attention 👀
For research purposes, where does one observe this?
my sort of crush(complicated) recommended me to watch Gel boys since it was filmed by an iphone(also from the director of I told sunset about you). Do you guys think it's worth it right now?(I still have to watch THK,My love mix up(jp), Ossan's love(TH and Jp),and maybe even Sangmin DinneawTeaTimewithTheo:
I need to learn to leave people's business alone because the "crush" part held my attention lol
Anyway, I did not know about the iphone filming. It seems even more interesting to me now. I was planning to just wait and binge but depending on reviews I might dive in while it is airing.
