For what it's worth, you're 100% fine just saying using "start" haha. It's just kind of weird with modern tech
Thanks I do appreciate it. Once in a while I stumble upon a combination of noun+verb that I've seldom (or never) encountered in the wild and I just stand there confused (because it's so trivial!)
Of course! Also, I absolutely feel it, I'm learning a second language right now and it's really opened my eyes to the utter weirdness of English, and more so just language in general
What are you learning ?
Japanese! Been at it for two years, about to go there and test my skills next month. Both excited and terrified lol.
Ah, nice, have a good one ! My wife and I stayed there for some time (mostly in Fukuoka), she's lost some proficiency since but then but her japanese was pretty good. I personally never got too much into it beyond the basics. But it's a fascinating language and country. If you love to eat I can guarantee you will have a good time.
Appreciate it, stranger! I've been once before, but more just the main cities. We're exploring much more this time around, everywhere from just south of Hokkaido all the way to Fukuoka. Got any recommendations for Fukuoka?
