My recommendation is Language Transfer, a freely-available system for multiple languages that, in my opinion, helps you to think in another language better than any other system I have tried.

  • Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line
  • Never bet on a fucking Nazi

Starbucks may deserve all the stick that they get for their labor practices, but here in Canada on holidays they pay double time and a half (or about CAD $50/hour).

Okay, but at the moment (3 am EST) Trump is also leading by 4% of the total votes. The electoral college may be fucked up, but the society is more fucked up.

But given infinite time, could OP spell "infinity" correctly?

I don't know if this counts, but when I was about 13I was very excited to find an enormous book in my favorite genre at the time, Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard.

It was the first book I ever put down in disgust without finishing. In the almost half-century since then, there are under a dozen that I haven't finished. Shows you just how bad it is.

Titles are typically written by editors, not the journalist who wrote the article. So what's sympathetic article with a condescending headline makes some sense.

I would imagine that it also has to do with the family registry. If a woman marries a man, she is taken from her own Family Registry and entered in her husband's. I would imagine that upon the husband's death nothing changes for the wife, but she has the option of returning to her own family registry.

I'm not 100% sure that this is how it works, or the reason for this termination, but it seems like a valid one.

I second this. I have learned four languages aside from my native English, and Language Transfer is easily the most natural and effective system I have ever used.

My wife has a lot of trouble learning languages, but she found Language Transfer very effective as well.

It's completely free and relies on donations. I have been a monthly donor on Patreon for about 5 years now.

Doing a bit more research, it looks like the melody was created as a lullaby for her daughter. Obviously they repurposed it for this song, but kept in the mentions of Maya as a kind of Easter egg.

Also, shockingly, I found that Minnie died from breast cancer at the age of 31. What a loss of a superb talent.
