Hello! nǐ hǎo! toki! Saluton!
Did you know? In Cuba, after the 1959 revolution language education became a priority as part of a broader effort to promote literacy and social equality. The government launched the "Cuban Literacy Campaign," which not only focused on teaching Spanish but also on other languages like Russian or French. Learning these languages was viewed as essential for fostering international solidarity with other countries and enhancing Cuba’s engagement in global affairs.
Here’s some questions for you beloved language learners! Feel free to answer as few or as many as you want in your native tongue or your target language!

What are some challenges you face while learning your target language? How do you overcome them?
There are so many Chinese characters to learn. O_O I am trying to stay focused mostly on the most common ones for now, through apps, to cover the most useful ground. Grammar is also challenging in its own way and to work on that, I've been using an app called TalkMe. I think I mentioned trying some other similar apps, somewhere on the grad, but this is the one I've been using lately; it uses AI for conversation to help with practicing it. I take it with a grain of salt cause AI can make errors more so than a fluent human, but it gives me a reason to put stuff I'm learning into practice instead of trying to convince my brain it's important to remember stuff I never use.
How important is it for you to learn about the culture surrounding your target language?
It's one of the reasons I'm learning, so pretty important.
What movies, songs, or books in your target language have you enjoyed?
Green Snake and Super Me, which I watched with subtitles. Super Me is a pretty interesting premise, writer who blurs the line between real world and dream.
So, as an Eireannach duine (I denounce ameriKKKa and I don't like its culture too much its too much yelling and being all around odd and I plan to move out to my relative's home country of Eire or until the revolution happens which then I plan to try helping then leaving back to Eire), I really have a problem finding anyone to talk to in it to better myself at it only having duolingo. I want to get better at it and learn other languages like
(I have a lot I want to learn so get ready and most either endangered or dead)
(Not considering irish thats already stated) Scottish gallic, Manx, Cornish, Breton, Welsh, Modern Gaulish, Phoenician, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Assyrian, Farsi, Sumerian, Latin, and Gothic.
MOST I CANT SPEAK TO OTHERS WITH WHO AM I FINDING TO SPEAK PHOENICIAN TO? HANNIBAL? HE IS D E A D!!!
anyway the easiest for me to learn is Russian because gf is Russian but I'm dying inside with having no one to speak Eire with at least T ^ T
Also for the culture I'm an Irish pagan, I wear a Triskelion 24/7, I know IN DETAIL the history of Ireland and the Celts in general from both Galicias in Anatolia and Iberia to Cisalpine and Scotland. Literally from the Halstatt culture to modern day I know a lot. for the others I'm a big history nerd and my gf is Russian so I wanna know it for her but idc much about Russian history too much I'm not too interested in it as much as Middle Eastern Iron age or bronze age history, Chinese history, the Gothic invasion of the imperial Romans, and satanistic chants to scream at people to make them think I'm possessed:3
Also for movies I WISH I HAD ACCESS TO THEM GIMME SOME GAEILGE MOVIES
If anyone has any ideas for resources to be added to the link list let me know by the way! <3
