I think there’s a little bit of a confusion of what the immersion here means and that it’s somehow only teaching in the target language. What usually is meant with immersion is that the learner has constant exposure to the target language, not just in the classroom. This would mean that the people you daily interact with and your daily routines would have continuous instances where you have to use the target language.

When you’re quoting some professor, they’re absolutely right that many educational institutes have already structured the information and created easily approachable courses that help learners to learn quicker, but with language learning you have to really ask what is your goal. For a lot of people they are completely fine to “learn” a language to a point where they can read something and translate it to their native language. But for more serious learners the end goal is that they’re able to think and use the langage fluently without any intermediate translation happening in between and for that only way to really practice is to use the target language.

You’re then bringing up a memory aids for learning languages and that you can use that to quickly convey information and again it’s absolutely correct that for an English speaker, having memory aids and things told in English is much more easier to remember, but it doesn’t actually help you think in French. Sure you may pass some exam easier, but it’s not very useful long term.

Teaching in the target language is very much preferred, except for complete beginners. If you are taking class for complete beginners, it’s very helpful to have key grammar topics and core vocabulary taught in a common language, but after that learners should be encouraged to use the target language at all times. Rather than switching to common language to ask what something means for example, it’s much better to ask in target language and get it explained in it as well as it reinforces what you have already learnt. Sure this might feel slower, but good instructors shouldn’t have issues to impart grammar or vocabulary to a learner.

It’s always don’t kill them. How do I get more spiders damn it?

Funnily enough this made me read diagonally from bottom left to top right very well.

Not just youtube, lot of other fediverse images are not generating thumbnails.

I tried Mint initially, but it had some issues with Wayland and some other small issues, so I ended up settling on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed after a friend recommended it.

Been on linux for almost half a year now. Don’t miss a single bit of windows, thanks to steam proton. Also thanks to microsoft for pushing me over.

Olis vaan pitäny pitää lentokenttänä :(

You should absolutely speak to yourself if you’re serious about learning a language.

Surprised to see docker there after the rugpull they did some time ago.

Wine works for a lot of software you could always try running your precious software on linux before jumping straight onto Mac

While I was playing the game casually last year, the temperature was just a number on a screen and very easy to miss. Yeah you start to notice the ice to melt, but even if some of the deniers would play, it would not be on their radar.

Joku levittää pornoa mainostaululla, etkä näe siinä mitään vikaa?

Harmittavaa kuinka moni ajattelee, että kyseisen kuvan levittäminen on joku vaivaton vitsi.

The beginning of Saving Private Ryan is the only part worth to watch. It’s pretty meh afterwards.

surely the ww3 will ramp up before bird sneezes spread

I think there’s a reason why jagex blacklists new content from the coffers nowadays. Sad that that loophole got patched.

Yeah I think going to barrows to might be a decent option as you’re guaranteed to get decently priced dupes as well.

Well that’s a nice one you only ever need one and decently common.

It’s bit of both. 七輪 can mean seven rings, but more often it refers to the grill. Just as 五輪 can mean 5 rings, but it also means the olympics.
