@LWFlouisa I really wouldnt know. To my ear Belgian french sounded just like any other french. But its all greek to me :)
@LWFlouisa My french is mostly non existant. I learned enough for Brussles so i could say please and thank you to be considerate. Any other french i know is just stuff that has entered common language (which is a lot surprisingly).
@codesections My version is more metricy :)
@jeff Temperature Is one area i really dont care what system you use. We dont really use metric prefixes for it so there isnt much to convert. All systems for temperature make just as much sense as the next really.
@jeff Its the best mistake we got.
@hector lawl :)
@LWFlouisa Yea in german scissors are masculine
, its crazy!
@LWFlouisa German, french, dutch, and many languages have gender associated with all nouns that often differs from what one might expect. It is the thing i hate most about many languages.
@LWFlouisa They really need to make it so you can customize what you want to learn: reading, writing, or spoken... I have yet to find a tool that does this and it is frustrating. I have spell checkers i have absolutely no reason to waste my time learning to spell in any language.
@LWFlouisa so far i havent had it ask me to spell anything yet. But maybe thats at higher levels
@LWFlouisa cool :)
@LWFlouisa What i love about it is that it doesnt try to teach you spelling. I'll learn that later and it slows me down. Speaking and reading is my priority for now.
@LWFlouisa I just started using it for dutch and love it
@Nyoei Mine too. What i found interesting is how easily it switches from one mode to the other and how hard it is to get it to switch back.
