Eat a diet with hardly any fibre before you go. The last time I was bunged up for 4 days I had eaten a lot of meat and not enough veggies in comparison. It’ll either help, or you’ll just have a very big poop idk.

I would recommend lessening your fibre as a minimum if you must though!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome!

I’ve subscribed now. It’s nice to see a mcr based lemmy, masto and fedi presence. :D

Looks great!

Good!

Refold (who Lamont is a partner of) focuses quite heavily on L-R for the beginning stages. I agree it’s quite interesting to see!

I think I might give it a go for a movie 10x. I have about 1600 hours until fairly okay fluency aparently so 10-20 hours wouldn’t be too much out of that time. I may have to mix in other content while I do that though haha.

Ayyy, welcome to the fediverse, glad to hear things are feeling good for ya!

My sympathies to you, (not that you need it but) it sounds like a really rough time! I don’t know if I’d have the energy to deal with adult tantrums when I have a migraine so I completely understand and don’t blame you for taking time for yourself now that you can.

I’d love to swap links with you if you want to be in the sidebar of the community I’m helping out with. It’s Refold or !refold@dataterm.digital

The community is focused specifically on immersion based learning but can be applied to any language. Can’t wait to see where things go for the language learning community.

I have this same problem haha. I’m a little bit stretched over the various instances for now. I’ve only just set up the refold community which is for all languages but it’s based off learning things from netflix, youtube, books and games (videogames and boardgames).

I searched up learn spanish and found “learning spanish for deplorable tankies”…yeah… no thanks. I think I may have to set one up afterall!

Also, I’m sorry to hijack your thread /u/DVD! I’ll crosspost your community to my language learning community as I know there are some people on my instance who wish to learn German.

Isn’t apollo free? Am I missing something here? I have no idea what he’s getting at. If a dev is making your service B E T T E R then leave them be or just make a better app! They’re bringing people to his site. Apollo should be charging reddit at this rate!

Big clown moves from this fella, he fell out of the goofy tree.

I’m looking for a spanish group too! :D

I’m with ya there, subs slowly zap away your money and when you stop paying for it, you have nothing to show for it, nothing you can keep! I’m just an old anki person, it’s super ugly but gets the job done. I’ll send this as a recommendation if someone’s looking for a prettier flashcard app thank anki.

I’m all for one-off payments as long as the licence isn’t taken away or the service isn’t broken retroactively because a subscription version has come out, now that’s the worst for me!

Solid, I use the L-R method with netflix, disneyplus, amazon prime and youglish. I may move onto some audiobooks soon. I recently went on the refold immersion course and learned a lot from them like how to stay motivated and make things when you don’t know much, how to minimise the pitfalls or even improve the experience. I highly recommend L-R.

I’m really glad to see this community.

Nice find! :D

It’s amazing! Thanks for sharing that vid.

I call it retrofuture but I’m sure there’s actually a real term for it haha.
