When it's hot, yes.
Practice. And then practice more And more And even more. Unlike all the shame people give it, I still think that Duolingo is a good tool. But, Duolingo on its own is not enough. Without using the language you won't get it.
I used Duolingo for Italian French czehc and Greek. It is enough for me to allow me know what an article is about in these language. If you want to get to conversation level, be ready to embrasse yourself. Without willing to make these mistakes, no matter what you do, you won't manage the language.
For context, my experience: Italian: started with Duolingo, eventually hired a teacher to improve my speaking level. I'm not perfect, but I manage to joke with the casual Italians I meet. French: used almost only Duolingo. There are however plenty of books and films and shows in french. I was in Paris a year ago, communicated almost solely in french and managed to do everything I need (including taking a friend to a clinic after he hit his head) Greek: started with Duolingo and hired a teacher for a while. It is hard to find communication partners and material so my level is not as high as I would like. To manage reading an article I need to concentrate very hard. Czech: still basic. I'm only half way through the Duolingo tree. I'm searching for other rmaterials, but I'm mostly lacking the time to dedicate myself to the task.
Not really. I have a Google drive, but I gradually reduce my use of it. I don't upload personal stuff there.
I have two hard drive at home that I use to sync all my information from my phone/computer to for backup (using syncthing). One day I'll pay for a fixed IP/VPN service for remote access to these drives. The two drives are in two different locations in the house.
I would like to have a drive in an additional location for backup. But I don't want it online.
Example: if we are willing to walk around with smartphones that are 5mm thicker and 50g heavier, and a bit less slick in design, we can fix them instead of buying new ones. This kind of things. And we are not even willing to give that up.
This guy speaks about this (I'm not sure if this is the right video)
Came here to say that, thank you.
Add to everything that people said here the fact that most movies are basically shit
Yes! This is it. Thank you!
Important questions, I've added this to my original post:

- I’m using Dolphine file browser
Crocheting granny squares. My daughter got into crochet and I wanted to knit for a while so I asked her to teach me. After learning the basics I picked up what I need so I can make myself a blanket while commuting to work.
When smart watches were begining to be a thing, a friend of mine bought a smartwatch for like 5$ in Ali express. When I asked him how the watch is he said "I am surprised that even for this low price, they still managed to disappoint me"
I think that your score is too high. It should be lower..
I wonder why you say "countries in the west" and not just "countries". It's not like, I don't know, Banín is shouting about North Korea every day and nobody listens.
