Maybe we just have different definitions of a structured course? To me a structured course is: *Here's a video, here's exercise, that's homework, this is a little fragment to read.…

No, English is not my first language. "You implied my approach is ill-informed, and you gave absurd alternatives for my use case. I’m still pissed off thinking about it." - that wa…

What I said is "But at some point, when you start understanding more, something as simple as watching 20 minutes of The Simpsons in language you're learning instead of English is a…

I don't see Dreaming Spanish as a structured course. If you do, ok, my recommendation might not make as much sense. The way I see Dreaming Spanish is an adult version of kids shows…

It is a lot of time. But at some point, when you start understanding more, something as simple as watching 20 minutes of The Simpsons in language you're learning instead of English…

First of - rude. Why would you post something like this on a comment that was actually trying to share some tips with you? I kind of want to ignore it now and say 'well good luck t…

Alternative: watch native content. Start with easy short content, build up to vlogs, series, movies. The idea of 'convenient 10 minutes a day' will get you nowhere. People who seri…

I use Stacked. But only because I enjoyed books & content written by the creator. It's not as easy to adjust as other apps, but it's totally free and I think it's visually pleasing…

I'm still hoping to find a list of all libraries you can sign up to online. I found one in New York and Essex (UK). I will probably never get through all the books they offer but I…

It does, but it doesn't stop Teams from changing my status to 'away'

Really appreciate it! I'll have to look into it in a bit more detail. I'm a little tired of having to plug my laptop in via HDMI every time I want to play a movie I can't find on n…

As I'm a complete 0 at IT, would you mind explaining how one gets started with this? I have VPN, I've torrented before. How does Jellyfin work and what do I need? Does it sit local…

I use DeepL for Spanish to English translation on a daily basis and can honestly say this tool made language learning so much easier. It's amazing to see how it can easily change t…

Congrats! I'm actually quite surprised because you must be the first person that learned a language using Duolingo. Most people I spoke with said they only learned how to answer Du…

Any gov services must go through very detailed assessments. Quite often moving from "public beta" to "live" takes years - lots of data is required. So yes, they did only just go li…

I AM THE OP (felt like I needed to say that to not break the chain :D ) I feel like your questions were answered - pretty much the answer I'd give. 1) The only cost is cost of a pe…

Google Analytics has 3 layers: -the vanity metrics anyone can look at - this is what you described. How many pages did they view, how much time did they spend on the page? -users i…

Dreaming Spanish is awesome! Totally recommend his YouTube but also his website - few £/$ a month to support him and have access to thousands of videos!

I remember Udacity was doing some 'get 1 month free' deal about a year ago. Most of the online learning platforms had that deal (in different forms - weekend, week, month). And eve…

I take you are using Google Analytics 4. You should still be able to use the older version (Universal Analytics) where you shouldn't have any problems with displaying full URL (inc…

Would you mind sharing what you used to learn cooking? My main struggle is recipe books that teach you the recipe rather than cooking. But I'd love to learn HOW to cook, not WHAT t…

Any recommendations on how to get started? Books, courses?

That's my weekend sorted then! Thanks for that list. I'd love to see your bookmark list/browser history to see other blogs/sites you read

What would you recommend to pass the level where you can use SQL to get the data you need and move on to a more advanced level? Any particular book/course?
