How to English as someone from North America.. So simple!

Honestly, the most useful part of my high school English lessons was how we had to memorize a whole list of English irregular verbs and how they had to be conjugated. Not to say I never do them wrong now. But I do still at times think of the lines like, to catch, caught, caught. To read red red. To ride, rode, ridden. And now I'm just hoping I'm remembering them right

Yep not fun and definitely the part where the natives know you aren't native. Although from the languages I know, English is the only one that doesn't have the gendered nouns. And then you try Latin, and then every word has a gender and the gendered words also have about 6 different endings based on their position in the sentence if I remember correctly, and maybe even 12 if you also count the plural versions? I could not be bothered with it and dropped it as soon as I could. Regarding your second paragraph, I think every language has that? All in all, for most language learning it's better to just learn it in practice. Read and hear the language so much that one thing just feels more natural than the other instead of relying on grammar rules. Won't work in all cases, but at least it will make the learning fun

Then it would be slow all the time, or most of the time I think, it's only that first page load, subsequent clicks are quick.

Taking 4 years of German in high school, I found it annoying & seemingly unnecessary that every noun you learned had a gender you had to memorize. Then the whole declension. Der die das die...den die das die, dem der dem den, des der des der. Ich du er sie es wir ihr sie Sie, mich dich ihn sie es uns euch sie Sie, mir dir ihm ihr ihm uns euch ihnen Ihnen, meiner deiner seiner ihrer seiner unser euer ihrer Ihrer About as much fun as memorizing the chemical process of Adenosine Triphosphate in the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle in nursing school back in the day. A knife being neutral, a spoon masculine & a fork feminine, for example...

Godverdomme, the boy speaks it better than @BUDMAN, but of course he'll be sober unlike Budman, so he has an excuse

Welcome!

I used to be good at English I still is

There are a lot of people more expert than me, but I got interested as this seems weird, so thanks to google I found this. The general consensus is dirty cd or dirty lens, ps make sure you show hidden files. Be careful with editing the registry unless you're confident, try others first. I personally am not confident with editing the registry so be warned. Because this is a factory-made data CD being read on Windows 11, the issue is almost certainly caused by corrupted Registry filters in Windows 11, or a failing laser hardware lens inside your disc drive. Factory discs are physically pressed and finalized, so they do not suffer from the user-error burning bugs common to blank media. Clear Corrupted Windows 11 Registry Filters Windows updates can corrupt specific registry keys (called Upper and Lower Filters), forcing the drive to misread factory data discs as empty or unreadable. Press the Windows Key + R, type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.Navigate to this exact path in the left sidebar:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}Look at the right panel. Look for files named Upper Filters or Lower Filters.If you see either file, right-click on it and select Delete. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. Assign a Explicit Drive LetterSometimes Windows 11 detects the hardware but forgets to map the path to display the files in File Explorer.Right-click the Start Menu and select Disk Management.Locate your CD-ROM drive listed in the bottom section.Right-click the drive space and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths.Click Add or Change, assign a new letter (like E: or G:), and click OK. Clean the Optical Drive Laser LensFactory-made data discs have tighter track tolerances than music CDs. If the reader laser lens inside your tray collects dust, it can spin the disc but fail to read the file allocation index.Open the tray and use a can of compressed air to clear out dust.Gently wipe the tiny glass lens sphere inside with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth or a specialized CD laser cleaner disc.
