if you divide the money i pay for 6 hours of class per week by the extra 6 hours i do researching the actual grammar on my own, it's a very economical class!
because my teacher can't really speak english, we never get a satisfying answer about WHY things work they way they do. when you're in a language with 5 different ways to say "to", it's pretty important to have a definition in your own language!
@mickmaus you should try russian)
@bit_aspect i heard y'all have even more cases than german. it's such a foreign concept in english to use the genders of things and then "dent" them all to fit different cases! hats off to anyone who already knows 2+ languages :)
@bit_aspect @mickmaus Ha, seven! That's just a simplification for school kids. What about locatives and ablatives and vocatives and partitives and translatives and numeratives, eh?
@mickmaus seven cases to be exact) even some russians can't speak russian properly lol
