I’m following a detective ‘Hidden’ that’s on our national TV now (3 series with streaming). I was amazed Welsh is soo very different from English.

I will have to check out the series!

I will have to check out the series!

I have a book of tales translated from the Mabinogian. Welsh is a fascinating language. I have a Welsh/English dictionary and I know a few words.

Maybe I need to stick to one or two languages…

(For the English, I’m learning it as if I speak fluent French)

How did you get it to let you learn English? I tried and it wouldn’t let me

How did you get it to let you learn English? I tried and it wouldn’t let me

Here’s how you can get to switching what type it is on the app

Click the little flag icon in the upper left corner (I’m learning German)

Click the “+ course” symbol

Then it’ll give you a list of languages to choose from. Scroll down to “More” and click that

For me, I went down to “for French speakers” and clicked espagnol

Then it’ll ask if you’re sure you want to do this and that it’ll switch the app language. Click continue and then it’ll bring you to the start.

If you click on the languages you’re learning, they’ll have a second flag. In this example, it’s showing that I have English and Spanish that I’m learning in French, the rest are in English.

You can switch between what language you want the interface to be.

Not sure if that makes any sense, sorry!

What the heck even is this sentence

Japanese is starting to get challenging at Unit 22. They're introducing more kanji, but I think I need to go to another site to learn the stroke order to practice writing it and to see what the radicals are rather than just getting kind of familiar with specific ones.

Stroke order is important because it helps you write it correctly and count the number of strokes correctly. You need to know this in order to use a kanji dictionary.

Radicals are the components that make up a complicated kanji symbol. This will help you understand a kanji that you've never seen before if you understand what it's made of. Kind of like understanding a word by knowing if it's Latin or Greed derived or understanding a long compound word by understanding the parts of it.
