2022 LC Thread—New Year, New Thread

That’s likely true, and it may explain why Hindi is tied with Italian. Still, I think it’s remarkable how so many English speakers are taking an interest in Japanese and Korean which are only rarely taught in US high schools. Have to believe anime and kpop are playing a big role in this.

uhhhhhh wtf

onion. i think?

There’s probably nothing about her worth bragging about more.

I think it really depends on how she dies. I am imagining her being poisoned in the night on the Royal Train. In that case, I would appreciate a sepeate thread to discuss murder suspects (allthough I confess that I already have my own theory).

Maybe Australia can finally become a republic then give insane amounts of power to the executive then elect our own Trump!

this is amazing. top notch decision-making.

Lots of weeaboos and K-Pop fans on Duolingo

Plus technically I’m learning Romanian and Ukrainian but haven’t touched DL in months.

I have like a 5th grade understanding of UK in general, why do people shit on the queen?

It’s more what she represents (The British Empire) than who she is.

Prince Philip on the other hand…

And the least popular languages:

I don’t think people are mad about the British Empire so much as thinking monarchies are stupid and pointless wastes of money. It’s 2022 and I am still technically the subject of a queen? Fuck off with that.

British empire and just monarchies in general. In a world of increasing wealth disparity they are an obvious target for animosity against the generationally wealthy.
