Don't hold your breath. He didn't actually say anything about his rewrite other than "better".
This is a library for people who don't read.
This looks about average for a new build council home...
I actually forgot about paper forms, but true! Depending on how much time you have, you could probably get away with using a dictionary, but having a few common characters or radicals memorised would probably be better.
That wouldn't surprise me at all. The explanation I was given at the time was literally "because it has private browsing".
It's not an OS, but I worked for the NHS for a time a year ago. They still use Internet Explorer...
This isn't an easy answer, since it really depends on how you learn. On one hand, it's free and useful for learning bite sized lessons on the go. It also doesn't use romaji and tries to get you on kana very early on. On the other... well... There are a lot of grammatical issues you'll encounter or bad habbits that you'll learn. When I used it, I was having to check the chat logs on pretty much every question to make sure it was accurate. There's also context that it misses out on, like when to use 「は」vs 「が」and other subtle differences. You will not learn the reason for any gramma. You will not effectively learn keigo, figures of speech, or really any practical Japanese skills. All in all, there are some benefits from using Duo, but it should never ever be your only tool. If you're a total beginner, I'd recommend pimsleur or a similar audio program. Once you've learned some basics, you can move on to traditional gramma books, alongside media emmersion (reading, writing, and listening to things in Japanese are indispensable). And with all of this in mind, I think I'd have to give Duo a 3/10. I hope that helps and sorry that this turned into a novel!
It looks pretty! I think I'll look for a place with a garden when my tenancy ends!
I've been slowly working my way through the Mabinogion. The tales in it are interesting, but the writing is so disjointed, confusing, and unengaging. The medieval translation doesn't help...
Since I haven't seen them listed yet:
