@ChronoNomad @ADR3-N Yeah, I'm not much for Discord lately, either. Haven't had a Facebook account for a while now, and I don't really miss it most days. Overblown Internet drama always seems to wreck the fun of social media. Or maybe that's supposed to be the point. Hard pass, either way.
Haven't done too much with music lately, but I've got several promising projects sitting on the back burner. Life, man...always a kick in the head! Hope it's treating you well. :)
I'll hit you up soon; probably this weekend if not before.
sup man, recognized you from the forums here and there. how's the corona treating you? lol
Yo! I just got back from being overseas. Went through Germany right when Frankfurt had 20 cases. Left Latvia 3 days after we heard about a confirmed case from Iran walking up on public transportation. Got back here, about a week later they were locked down, my class started getting sick, and went through two weeks quarantine only to get out and have the army cancel all my leave and lock us down haha. The internet has been my best friend hahaha. You?
@Gimmick @ADR3-N Same. Heard about it from one of my chinese friends in mid february, things kept on chugging along, then all of a sudden it started in my province and one or two weeks later (march ~11) classes got transferred online and things started shutting down. it's wild how fast it spread but totally expected
Wow. Yeah, we all got quarantined right around that time here because people kept getting sick in our classes, and we had two cases in the county. And no tests.
If you wanna see something I made while we were over in Latvia, I did a song in Russian right above this post :)
@ADR3-N Speaking of which, while most developed countries are being hit hard with the virus, they're able to hold things more or less together. My main concern is developing and undeveloped countries, where it's going to be an absolute shitshow. Not to mention that said countries usually have hard-right leaders in charge who don't care about the virus either...
Regarding the song - cool! How long did it take you to make? And to reach this level of proficiency in russian? :)
I'll probably end up talking about most of this stuff in class. Never ends. Can you believe the bs that's been going on with China not reporting their cases? I wonder how many people got the dirt nap before they unanimously agreed on that one.
To reach the level of proficiency I was at which is probably enough to work on a professional level abroad, it took about 7 months, 7 or so hours a day on work days. Once you hit a certain point though in your studies, you just sort of become fluent. After I made that song, of course all the words I studied stuck nicely and served me well when I encountered variants later on, but I ended up going to Latvia for a month, full time Russian. Came out of that feeling really solid. The course I'm taking is intensive, like taking 4 to 6 years of the language in one go, depending how you use your time. It's been a blast!
I didn't know you were studying abroad, i wonder which country?
I spent a while in Latvia. It was a freaking blast. Only now I barely speak English, haha
@Gimmick @ADR3-N Yeah. Just found out that my university might be online-only until the end of the year xd
Damn, that's intense. I totally understand the "you sort of become fluent" bit; some things that you might be banging your head against for a long while - or things you "know" might just click one fine day and you'll wonder why it was a problem in the first place. But wow, working professional level is probably around CEFR level B2, and that takes a lot of dedication! 7 hours a day is immense - I only just about to reach that consistently with French for about a month before I gave up, and that was when I was starting out. Now I'm still around A2-B1, just on the cusp of being 'intermediate' but not independent like a true B1 yet, and it took me a year to get to that point (with almost one whole year stagnating at that 'wall'...) I planned to take classes in a few months, but with everything being online-only I think I'll just leave it until later...much better to learn in person or save the money and learn independently if it's online only anyway.
And was the trip supposed to end recently, or was it cut short because of the coronavirus? If it's the former, then that's some great timing right there.

I mean it should be more than enough time. I don't stall with things THAT much. Hopefully. You get what I'm sayin'
