On job interviews I've been mentioning that for the last few months I've been learning French on Duolingo. My job counselor said that's a good thing to bring up cause it shows initiative. Anyways, I've only been doing it for a few months, on my last interview it wasn't even four months yet. And I'm just baffled at how many people expect me to be fluent after just a few months. Especially since I'm not even studying formally, this is 100% autodidact.

It's been 5.2 months now since i started. No, still not fluent lol, I'm not going to learn that quickly. But my vocabulary is over 3000 and last test i did put me at A2 (elementary) level. So i could have a talk with a third grader, but I'm not going to be doing presentations any time soon.

people have a wonderful ability to forget how long things like that take to learn

'not yet but I can order food and get a hotel room if I need to'

Is probably a good way to respond, make it something you turn into a funny thing maybe.

Check out the size of these hush puppies, heaven is real.

I'm inclined to agree, do without the fish but It's not my lunch so no issues there.

That all looks lovely

Look at this and tell me it doesn't give you flashbacks lol

That absolutely gives me flashbacks, reminded of when Pepsi did some of the old cans for their products a while back

and now I'm flashing back to Pepsi's full court press on switching their logo from "choice of a new generation" to "gotta have it"

Coke was probably glad they didn't go back to 'take the Pepsi challenge' since Coke lost the blind taste tests

Okay i gotta ask, wtf is up with Denmark? I thought four-twenty-twelve was weird when i was learning my French numbers but those Danes are just 🤯 I'd be so confused learning that language.

I couldn't say, my knowledge of the danish is mostly limited to which kind is my fav to have for breakfast.

Couple other things standing out to me that are just as confusing like

While I know exactly what's going on with the line bisecting Belgium there I am baffled by the fact that it appears to be green and yellow instead of red and yellow given that the green section is where they speak french as a first language.

Not sure what's up with Switzerland either, Lichenstein will be done the German way but I wonder if Andorra switches back and forth every 6 months.

Idk if this is real (it's a bonus so i would believe it) but it's fucking awesome

that's gonna be either fake or there's something off with the bullet, made out of something that shatters really easy, maybe chromium, but I don't know if that one would even make it out of the barrel

Looks cool af tho ya

I read this story years ago i think on songmeanings.net that the band came up with this song when they were visiting Iceland (i think?) And the crime rates were so low they thought about fucking with the cops just to give them something to do.

How thrilling

They really should have gone with it on the messing with the cops

I'm probably going to get so much shit for this so I'm doing it on anon. I like the Placebo cover of Running Up that Hill better than the original. Both the original and the cover are good, but i feel like Placebo captured the mood better with the background music.

Both for comparison:

Kate Bush - https://youtu.be/wp43OdtAAkM

Placebo - https://youtu.be/d-mYX0qKkB8

I don't need the links, I'm very familiar with both.

@jesuisunchat is a big fan of Placebo we've had a form of this conversation before.

Personally I try not to compare them since they're wildly different from each other, gun to my head I'm gonna pick Kate Bush, but it's really just pitching 2 bad bitches against each other at this point.

[beardedmrbean]

I forgot to show you this yesterday!

Also, thanks to you, @jesuisunchat and I are now friends on DuoLingo.

Have a loaf

Moved on to the Jesus number for days, wooooooooo

and yay friends and loafs

This is actually the 2nd time today I've had the joy of using this gif for duolingo related purposes, @jesuisunchat got hers for landing a legendary trophy for lesson #funny number

And a big congratulations to both of you, I can barely manage the english language so I'd like to wish you all a keep making me look bad.
