i've always had an interest in russia/russian culture and about a year and a half ago i started messing around with it on duolingo - i'm pleasantly surprised to be able to read it pretty well! don't get me wrong - my speech is horrible and i have a very limited vocabulary, but to be able to read those funny little letters feels cool. if you have an interest in a culture/language use the internet as much as you can to dive in you'll be amazed at what you can do

The feeling of being able to communicate with more people. The ability to travel in the future and speak the native language. Being able to read more literature and understand more music. Overall, being able to connect with the world more than I previously could.

in a few days i'm hitting the one year mark since i started learning korean!!! it feels so good and rewarding. this was the first time i decided to learn a new language (not as a class in school) and i'm actually surprised of how much i've been enjoying the process. i'm taking weekly personal courses online but i also recommend sticking to duolingo and lingodeer and holding on to that streak

You get so much context by simply changing the language. It's like unlocking a new level of life. The information you know is now doubled. I love it. I love languages 🤗.

for one, they're horribly corrupt and their billionaire CEO is a POS. this is not the focus of my rant, though; my bigger beef is this: he owns one of the biggest music companies in the world and doesn't even care about audio quality! the absolute BEST quality you can get on spotify is a LOSSY MP3 EQUIVALENT and is the same as the LOWEST quality apple offers. Listening to music in lossless on apple compared to spotify's "high resolution" is like night and day.
i get people enjoy it for the social aspects but apple has all that too. okay sure you won't know if you're a top .0001% listener of jimmy buttfuck but jesus christ do we need to stat farm this hard
i hope spotify dies i will see to it
rant over tl;dr spotify sucks and literally anything is a better option if you remotely care about listening to music
