  • so it’s not being used to put down deposits on next years cruise

    That’s not what this is preventing. You made this up.

    This is simple austerity, which is a punishment for poor people. Kier’s openly pro-rich, pro-corporation. If you (or he) were so worried about rich people having too much money, you would support the suggestion in the article: a wealth tax. But you don’t actually want that. It’s okay to want poor people to suffer. Just admit you want austerity, like Kier has. It’s a very accepted political position, the biggest parties agree. You don’t have to hide it.

















  • Watching, reading, and listening to stuff in your target language. You can start with stuff made for learners if you really need to, but the sooner you start consuming material made for native speakers, the better. And always be reading and watching things that are challenging. I read news articles and novels, watched YouTube and TV, and listened to podcasts and music, and took lots of notes and flashcards. All from when I was a beginner. You can use subtitles for video and just look up words that you recognize but don’t know.

    I improved so much more quickly, even when I felt completely lost, than I ever have rote studying. And everyone I have ever met that’s actually good at English as a second language only got there by actually consuming native media. Plus it’s way more fun.
