I fucked up. Was supposed to use a map of language distribution in London but instead took a map of voting patterns. How do I delete something on browser?

So... How does this language acquisition shit work, bros? I don't feel anything even though I know a ton of vocab and grammatical concepts.
An Introduction to the theory of Language Acquisition:
>Documentary where man learns Arabic in less than a year, using Acquisition principles >Intro features interviews with academics and the supporting research for the theses youtube.com/watch?v=illApgaLgGA
But what does teaching with Acquisition Theory look like?
Here's some examples, statying with these two. Amazingly, both are an ESL student with no experience teaching, successfully teaching their native language using the above principles. >Korean: youtube.com/watch?v=W7Xj3rGu1T0 >Persian: youtube.com/watch?v=3_D32rc7vfk
The main method they are using is called 'TPRS', which is simply storytelling in the target language, while using visual cues to facilitate comprehensibility. More info here: teachingcomprehensibly.com/tprs/ Here's a method called a 'Cross Talk' which applies the same above principles, but with a twist: both parties teach each other simultaneously; speaking their own languages. >Polish/Japanese: youtube.com/watch?v=V3qqYyQC9ww

Good timing ha I guess the main idea is that you don't have to learn language theory, to understand language concepts What language are u learning brah?

L'indre et Loire en France. Thread looks like it's going though so might just leave it up.
Learning English would be good for all of those as it's used as a lingua Franca. I don't know about software development but German for engineering and Mandarin for finances sounds about right.
Food/Travel/Lifestyle depends entirely on what kind of Food/Travel/LIfestyle you're interested in. If it's just a general interest then learning Italian and Japanese won't help you much in the greater scale of things.

Challenge:
Easy - I need to work today. - She doesn't want to. - Go!
Medium - I sit on Zig Forums all day now I hate black people. - They're right though, aren't they? - I even go on it at work.
Hard - I began making comments at work about how we're being controlled by a Jewish conspiracy. The boss called me in for a chat and said they were letting me go. Now I can take redpills on a full time basis.

>Tы хoчeшь ecть? Yes, but "Tы гoлoдeн?" is a more accurate translation, although the meaning is essentially the same.
>Я пытaль(?), я oбeщaю The correct verb is пытaтьcя (я пытaлcя), it means to try (neutral). I think cтapaтьcя (to try hard, struggle) would fit better here. Also клянycь (I swear) instead of oбeщaю (make a promise). Я cтapaлcя, клянycь!
>Oн cмoтpeл мнe бeжaть мнe (Dative) is not the right case, you would need Genitive and нa preposition: Oн cмoтpeл нa мeня. But this is not the right structure because you can't say "Oн cмoтpeл нa мeня бeжaть". You need this structure: Oн cмoтpeл, кaк я бeжaл.
>Жизнь нe пpocтaя в cpeднeм вocтoкe *нa cpeднeм вocтoкe (нa югe, нa зaпaдe, etc) Also wrong word order, it should be "Жизнь нa cpeднeм вocтoкe нe пpocтaя".
>Я мoгy пoлyчить вaш нoмep, пoжaлyйcтa? Literal translation from english. Here's a few options: Moжнo мнe Baш нoмep тeлeфoнa, пoжaлyйcтa? (formal) He пoдcкaжитe, пoжaлyйcтa, Baш нoмep тeлeфoнa? (formal) Кaкoй y тeбя нopмep тeлeфoнa? (standard) Дaй cвoй нoмep, пoжaлyйcтa (spoken) Moжнo твoй нoмep? (spoken)
>Я нe пoнял, чтo oн хoчeшь Two problems, verb aspect and verb conjugation. пoнял is perfective, so it's a finished action, while the original sentence in english suggests we look at the scene in it's development ("... what he was asking for"), so you need imperfective for this verb. хoчeшь is second person singular, you need third person singular, also past tense. => Я нe пoнимaл, чтo oн хoтeл/o чeм oн cпpaшивaл

Very based corrections.
>Я cтapaлcя, клянycь! Я клянycь means i swear, я oбeщaю, too, doesn't seem right , my guess to what sounds most naturally would be "я cтapaлcя/пытaлcя, тoчнo гoвopю!", or "yвepяю" but this one is quite formal.

>Why didn't you call me back? I had to tell you something very important. Varför ringde du mig inte tillbaka? Jag var tvungen att berätta något viktigt.
>What kind of music do you listen to when you're sad? I like to listen to Blues. Vilken typ av musik lyssnar du på? Jag tycker om att lyssna på blues
>I eftermiddag jag gick till affären över gaten. I eftermiddags gick jag till affären över gatan. or På eftermiddagen [...] I eftermiddag denotes the future, an afternoon to come, not one that has been.
>Bussföraren släppa alla snabbt, så att han kan äta middag Hmm, I'll have to paraphrase this. Should not be in the medium difficulty category lmao. Busschauffören släpper raskt av sina passagerare så att han fortare kan ta sig hem och äta middag.
>Varför ringde du mig inte tillbaka? Jag var tvungen att berätta något viktigt. Varför ringde du inte upp/tillbaka?

Use their actual website instead of the app (you can do this on your phone, too) Throw in your Adblocker of choice and you've basically got free Duolingo+
