This morning I started to optimise my learning of Italian. Have bought a book "Fluent Forever" (I always fall for such titles) by Gabriel Wyner - and then I tried for more than an hour to install a recommended flashcard database - "Espresso". So annoyed: it shows the translation of the Italian sentence in - Croatian? Czech? Romanian? - and I couldn't find out how to change the translation to German. Didn't feel fit to learn two languages at once, though Wyner's second (sound) advice is "Don't translate".
Drank a real espresso instead.
Perhaps they think that only Croatians or Romanians want to learn Italian? I am sure you are frustrated but I laughed.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emma, and welcome - you are the first commenter on my new blog" I laughed too - half an hour after the espresso...
DeleteBy the way I hope when you post something new here I will be notified as I am with Dear You. I see the Google followers list here but I was hoping for a friends list to oin also.
ReplyDeleteI will try to find out how to turn the follower-option on - I thought that maybe Google had deleted it, thus forcing us all to their site. I will try tomorrow - this evening I am "to feeble" to start another version of "Who wants to be a conquerer of the computer" - and in the evening I don't drink coffee :-)
DeleteI am pleased to join this site with Google Friend Connect, which is the only way I know how to join anything. It just now showed up on my Blogger dashboard.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that information, Geo., I will try that too - till now I only see all new posts on my blogroll.
