Me: "I want to learn German."
Them: "Why would you do that? Don't bother!"
Me: "Because I spend half my time on the Fediverse clicking on the 'Translate' button."
I can't help it if so many of the awesome accounts I follow are in German. And I want to be able to understand their messages without clicking on 'Translate' 50+ times a day. Plus this way I would understand / could attend ALL the talks at Berlin #FediDay.
I'm putting this here so that people hold me accountable 😅🤗

German is a fabulous language.
One can express oneself SO precisely, and the language can be so very beautiful.
I am glad I don't have to learn it as a 3rd language as I would be too lazy (if not too stupid), it is very complicated.
My English teacher at the High School told my mom that I would never learn English well enough to have a conversation.
That's when I gave up doing my Engl.homework and my 'Vokabelheft' remained blank.
