A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

How did you learn it? How long did it take?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

French was my father's first language so even though we were an English-first home, I had an excellent study buddy when I started studying French in middle and highschool. I was nearly proficient by age 18 but lost it once life took over. Fast forward 20 years and I wanted to make sure my child had the opportunity to speak with her pépère in his native language.

So I spent 6 months mainlining Learn French and specifically Québec TikTok and fought like hell to rewire those old, decrepit neural pathways. You can get access to an incredible wealth of native content in manageable bites all tagged and categorized for free

Ça marche!

Merci. I've been putting it off for a while now and wonder if I can still learn fast in my 30s. I'll try and get back to it
