Their argument is pretty much that you just move the problem to other places, which is true for pretty much any environmental policy. Emissions restrictions? Move the factory to Vietnam. It’s too expensive to dispose of toxic waste properly? China doesn’t care that much. Not allowed to use modern farming techniques? Grow it in Brazil. They don’t care.

It’s all very shortsighted.

Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out.

It’s one of the odder methods I’ve come across that actually seems to have good results. I guess at its core, it’s just reading and comparing bilingual texts, which is hardly new, but I think you have to have some books you really enjoy reading.

The ability to do it for a long time is a big advantage over LWT/LingQ, I think. Even when it’s just a click or two, looking things up really breaks my flow and makes it harder to concentrate. I use LWT (or actually FLTR now, but same principle) for shorter articles and things like that.

I used to use Unilang a lot. Looks like my account is from 2009. I had no idea it was still going, but that’s great to hear. I’ll definitely put it on the sidebar and come check it out.

I got tired of throwing away pens and decided to get a nice one. While researching what pen to get, I ended up reading about fountain pens and thought they were really cool, and also seemed like a good fit. My first pen was a TWSBI Eco, and I liked it, so I ended up making excuses to get this other pen or that other pen. Now I’m about ten years into being into fountain pens, and I’ve also taken up journaling, mostly because I really enjoy the tactile experience of writing now.
