Busuu is like what Duolingo used to be, but with native audio/video clips, actual grammar lessons, and the chance to write/speak sentences and have them graded by native speakers (other app users).
It’s free with ads, but the paid tier is also cheaper than Duolingo. 👍
The media seems so confused, when it’s so simple. People are being disappeared.
One of the cases – was it Mahmoud Khalil? – where they took issue with someone wearing a hoodie and disappeared them, I saw news sites saying, “This just isn’t how we do things in this country! He deserves due process and a fair trial!”
So… you think putting someone on trial for wearing a hoodie is any less insane? Feels like you’ve sort of missed the point, BUT OKAY 👍
For the first time, I’m kinda glad the UK uses First Past the Post. Especially with ministers resisting calls to block oversized donations from Musk: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/dec/21/ministers-resist-calls-to-block-musk-donations-to-farages-reform-uk 🤦♂️
Presumably it’d be easier for Musk’s favoured parties to gain (a meaningful amount of) influence in countries with proper PR?
I hope teachers come up with crazy workarounds, like Miss Honey’s classroom in Matilda
