Damn, Duolingo hasn't gotten to that quite yet. I'm still at "Sinä olet hauska ja komea/kaunis"

Is this guy our 2C yet? Or are Bednar and Cmac playing the long con? Bury him on the fourth line so when it comes time for an extension he's happy with 8 years 2.5 millions. Then boom he's the 2C and potting 25G 45A for peanuts.

Sucks to suck Parsinnen. Woods making the same dollars while eating nachos in the press box. Should've fired your agent!

Because what you do with prepositions, we do with cases (a large part of it anyway)

The more I study other languages (I'm perusing so many on Duolingo these days) the more I see how English makes no sense.

English is easy to learn because of the exposure, it is the linqua franca of Earth. But if you actually try to study it like many other foreign languages, it's pretty damn hard compared to some of the others.

I think I know English pretty well, I've had top grades in English all the way from basic school to polytechnic. I never actually studied English or tried to make sense of any rules. Never did homework. Just spend enough times with video games and internet forums, and turns out that's how you learn to use a language. By actually using it.

Indeed. English isn't easy, but at least here in Finland we hear it so much in our everyday life that we get used to it. TV, movies, social media, video games etc.

RuneScape taught me a lot more English than my school did . Not to talk bad things about my education, not at all, but a 9 year old kid having to figure out that you have to "buy a fishing net to catch shrimps" or "mine iron and copper ore and melt them together in order to get a steel bar".. yeah, it did a lot .
