Я тoжe. Я ceйчac cмoтpю "Бpaт (1997)". Tы видeл этo фильм? (Is it too rude to use ты with someone I just met online or am I overthinking it?)
I have a few general questions for everyone in this thread. How much input do you take in a day for your target language? And how comprehensible is it for you? Would it be good practice to watch something without fully understanding the language and should I use target language subtitles or English subtitles? Also does anyone here change their desktop's language to their target language?

I have a big streak myself but these posts on Duolingo piss me off. There are so many of them that they are just annoying at this point.

Is knowing a language the ultimate cuckoldry?
I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than knowing a language. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are listening, saying, writing and preserving a language for at least all of your life solely so it can go and get ravaged by another man. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little language - writing stories at your desk, making it have a standard form, making it have a healthy number of speakers, expanding vocabulary, and a country that speaks it. All of it has one simple result: this language is more enjoyable for the men that will eventually make it completely unrecognisable.
Raised the perfect language? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random man who had nothing to do with the way it grew up, who completely changes it. He gets to change it's grammar every night. He gets the benefits of the standard form and sweet sounds that came from the way you spoke it.
As a man who knows a language, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least all of your life simply to raise a language for another man to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.
Wow, now Szczecin has been annexed by Canada? Why are the media hiding this from us?

It's his level in Italian.

So in other words his crown counter? For comparison I have 60 crowns and only been duolingoing for 50 days. 25 crowns in 2000 days is nothing to brag about lol.

>Fácil • Mi película favorita es La Cenicienta. • Ella vive con su madrastra y dos feas hermanastras. • Cenicienta es tanto amable como hermosa. • Hoy lavará los platos.
>Mediano • Sus amigos ratonescos le hicieron un vestido rosa bonito. • Sus hermanas destruyeron el vestido y le rieron. • No obstante, Cenicienta llegó a la fiesta y se casó con el príncipe. • La película era (fue?) muy diferente al libro.
>Difícil • En la continuación de la Cenicienta, la hermanastra Anastasia se pone acomplejada por su apariencia. • Anastasia se enamora del panadero local, pero teme que su familia no acepte un hombre pobre. • Cinderella le dice a Anastasia que si ella pueda ignorar la pobreza del panadero, entonces él podrá ignorar su... uh... belleza de cara especial. • Al final, la solterona Anastacia decide que los prejuicios de la familia no la disuadiera de casarse con el panadero.

The Fahrenheit guy was German. He was your own countryman

Cinderella is Зóлyшкa.
>Second Oнa живёт c eё мaчeхoй и двyмя ypoдливыми cёcтpaми. «C» takes твopитeльный пaдeж, and you confused the conjugation of жить with пpoживaть. I think all monosyllabic verbs ending in -ить get the same endings desu
>Third No dash here, and another equally correct translation would be «...нe тoлькo дoбpaя, нo и кpacивaя».
A lot of Americans have mixed ancestry, so possibly Mr. Fahrenheit's mom was Swedish and his dad German.
For example, in the live action Dora the Explorer movie, Diego the Mexican is played by an actor named Jeff Wahlberg. Wahlberg's mother is Hispanic. Many of the Bushes married Mexicans and have half-Mexican children, all with surname Bush.

>First Yeah I’m retarded and forgot to mention this earlier, in translations of sentences like "A is B" you put ‘—‘ in the place of ‘is’.
