Thanks, those useful practical tips. I'll implement them into my routine :)

OK, so that is what I'm also doing but god damn it it's so slow because I feel for some words I need at least 100 times of it showing up so I remember it :(

Ah webtoons sounds interesting because you get the picture as context with it. Good idea, thanks!

Does it explain it in your language so you know what the words mean?

Yeah, so my question is actually, how do you get to the point where you can consume content in that language? I'm trying to watch videos for babies and struggle to understand it, besides the point that it is so boring that I don't want to do it :D

But I need to look up every single word all the time. So even if the word shows up in the next sentence again I have already forgotten it and need to look it up again. If I knew say 50℅ of the words in a sentence then this would make sense. But just reading a paragraph takes so much time because I'm looking up every word.

I tried those websites where you click on the word and then it shows the translation. But I end up basically clicking on each word and practically just reading it in English :(

Also I am suspecting that it's something in my attitude towards learning this language. I just can't get over it and it makes it so hard. But I need to know it because I live in Korea already for 3 years and in the long run I will need to be able to work for other companies which don't have English as their office language. And also my fiance has to deal with all paper stuff because I'm practically illiterate :(

OK, I really didn't get the joke so I had to ask ChatGTP and it explained the joke to me. Not bad, and unexpected.

Definatelly the first one. I realized that the comment is somehow very on point with the topics, I even showed it to my spouse and she was also confused. But I didn't realize it was a joke. I guess I need to read it a couple of times.

Yes you do :)

I already have both, a website and a podcast. In this episode https://jeena.net/pods/18 for example I talk with a ex Jehovas Vittnesses about how religion destroyed her life, very emotional episode.

Or in this one https://jeena.net/pods/21 I went to Palestine to speak to a Palestinian family which house has been bulldozed by the IDF 3 times already.

Why don't people normally have profile pictures here? This is so much easier to recognize in comparison to text names.

But thanks to your post I now made the avatars and usernames bigger and thus more prominent, perhaps I'll recognize more people like that!
