Hours later, the same situation prevails. I have noticed, however, that the problem has to do with the leagues block, because both the individual course scores and the statistics entry do show the updated scores. --- This is the "before" course score: dl-course-score1.png And the following...

… ignore everything I'm doing.

I did a heart practice, a lighting round, a regular lesson, a learn the characters lesson… and my score hasn't changed at all.

Just a few observations, based on my own experience. The teaching method of dl is based on two things: presenting pairs of sentences, and repetition. When I used to work via the web browser, I had blocked most of the distracting elements of the page, which included the leagues block. Regarding repet...

Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment (for those of us that like numbers and patterns ).

Across porta Not good at the spoiler - hidden stuff. Mines a bit tweaked. Ha! You're having the same paragraph numbering problem! So annoying! It happened to me again and I had to renumber the lists with dashes rather than full stops. Yes, using dashes would be the fastest way to do it: 3- Door Acr...

Was this post actually necessary? Technically it's not incorrect.

Yes. It is incorrect. And don't express opinions, give facts.

No está de más que las compartas, independientemente de si en este momento hay gente estudiando japonés desde español. Yo estoy haciendo el curso de inglés → japonés, pero no tanto para aprenderlo, sino simplemente para asimilar otras formas de expresar una idea.

An excellent explanation, thank you so much! I was misguided by the information about the duration of the stay - that was why I thought about imperfecto. Seeing the stay in Madrid now as concluded time frames makes the usage of preterite clear. You're more than welcome! Yes, it gets complicated whe...

I wonder if I understand the following rule well: In some sentences, and as I see it they are all with piace / piacciono, I see a word (preposition???) "a" before the subject when the subject is expressed with a noun (typically a name). Like in "A Mario piace la natura.". Is it ...

I'd say that they are equivalent:

tennis player: テニスの選手 = テニス選手
soccer player: サッカー選手 = サッカーの選手

Maybe a bit like in Spanish: jugador de futbol vs. futbolista.

Humans are such a menace to other life forms, that this Universe, the ultimate prison, had to be created to put them in. One just feels sorry for the other creatures that have to share this planet with us.

Doesn't the Universe seem like such a waste of resources? Vastness beyond imagination.

@HeyMarlana , well, I'll guess that I'll have to take your answer as a closing answer, eventhough many interesting proposals have just faded away —an experience that mods, ex-mods, and regular users, have lived— without a clear and direct answer.

Some posts are stranger than fiction. How and why colons entered a tirade about one of my posts remains a mystery to all but the tirade’s author – the one whose chosen middle name so aptly describes his writing. Yes, I expected that.

@gmads I don't really know how it would be different from other sites and forums that are in operation. For example, Reddit--the mother of all forum platforms--doesn't have explanations of what each subreddit's mods do. I haven't seen such a thing on many of the forums I've ever been on. Is there a...
