outside1234··on Learning another language may be one of the best ways to keep your brain healthy
And it is only getting easier to learn a language now too. What FINALLY got me over the hump with Spanish was YouTube and discovering resources like Dreaming Spanish (leveled content for comprehensive input that probably exist in most major languages). Content that was fun and at my level.

Mix into that a weekly lesson with italki from your home and you can learn any language at any age.

outside1234··on Learning another language may be one of the best ways to keep your brain healthy
A second language, almost from the start, will also open up a whole second world for you.

When I go to somewhere that speaks Spanish the whole place “jumps into 3D” for me. I can understand what people at the table next to me are complaining or laughing about, I can make small talk with people, I don’t have to follow the “avocado toast” trail that the non-native speakers sort of get jammed into because they struggle off of it. It is a much more human experience when you understand the language.

At home, I can watch Spanish movies as well, and listen to music artists I probably might never have heard about like C. Tangana and Rosalia otherwise. It has doubled my cultural landscape for me.

After reading the article, I wonder if this isn’t a key secondary benefit to learning the language itself. It gives you a larger variety of things to enjoy in your life.

outside1234··on The Beauty of Roundabouts
The "use more area" needs to be considered in the sense that, designed properly, they eliminate left turn lanes and "suicide lanes" in the center of the road.

Instead, with proper design, you make this "left turn" by going to the next roundabout, going around to follow the road the opposite direction, and then make a right turn.
