I've found the concept of extensive reading with a 98% threshold (that is, you must be understand 98% of words on a page) to be pretty effective in picking up foreign languages. Less than that and I give up. You're right, starting

I'm trying it out, and am pretty excited. Nice work! This should help a lot with out-of-HSK vocabulary for me (I'm studying for the HSK using traditional materials/anki). It'd be helpful for me to see the character in a

Cool article! The original is actually from a year and a half ago ( https://www.mpg.de/11312776/lesenlernen-veraenderung-gehirn-... ), curious why they published it only now in English. One quote bothered me, however: &q

I'm impressed with this sentiment and at the maturity it takes to willingly cede power: “It’s a very fast moving industry. It’s better for experts to make rules in a timely manner than bureaucrats do,” a senior FSA official said in a b

Really cool demo! Just a note, the last example is corrupted at least for me in Firefox on mobile (but not Firefox on a computer). Curious how this would work translating between a language like German where verbs sometimes are placed at th

Is it necessary to have a hardware device for this to function? I'd love to pay $99/year for a 120 GB encrypted email service, but don't want the hassle of owning more stuff. I'd go with ProtonMail but it's seriousl

I can't say I really found use out of the book I'm about to mention, but Michael Bordt writes a lot of philosophy/self-help books in a concise German style. For example, "Die Kunst, die Eltern zu enttäuschen: Vom Mut zum
