I like languages rich in vowels so many years back I bought a Finnish language guide. When I hit the grammar part I had one look at the cases, laughed hysterically and quit trying to learn the language. I still remember some phrases and words, such as "sytytystulppa". It means "spark plug", though to me it sounds much more like a malfunctioning starter...

I read one of those ridiculous motivational things on twitter today that insisted we all do productive things on lockdown like read more books or learn a new language.

I was curious, is anyone doing that?

I've been learning Dutch for about 3 years now anyway. It's going... slowly. How long do these people think it takes to learn an entire language from scratch?

I'll let you know when I'm actually in lockdown.

Doing basically the same as before. Still working fulltime in the job and being able to entertain myself anyway ... so there's no danger of being bored.

And I start to hate the motivational commercials all around!
