I'm speaking from my own experience of learning four languages using Duolingo and other sources: Hearing, reading, and typing don't cover the full process of learning a language. Speaking it adds another valuable layer of skill which is not only about speaking it, but also about extracting the words from your memory in a fluent way. That's the value is see in speaking exercises.

That being said, both in french and Italian, the speaking exercises are the foundation for my ability. In both cases it provided me with speaking skills that are good enough for me to be understood by (willing) native speakers.

Yes! This is it. Thank you!

I don't like skipping them. In my eyes, even if I'm wrong, it's still a good practice. But repeating the same phrase every day and getting the negative feedback is annoying

Important questions, I've added this to my original post:

• The files are mp4
• I’m using kubuntu 24.10
• I’m using Dolphine file browser

Great! Thanks!

I'll figure out how to do this tomorrow.

Hi, sorry for my silence. A lot is happening in my personal life.

I like it. Thank you. Should I use this version for the background, or do you have a higher resolution one.

Also, is it possible to make the records a bit blurry? Or just the edges of the entire image a bit blurry. Do you think it would look better?

Yes, that's clear, but I didn't spot any reference (beyond the name) to Crosby Still Nash & Young's song. But maybe it is my lack of imagination.

Right? I'm surprised mysefl :-)

But, I have to say that I upvote as a way to say "yes, I approve the connection" even if I don't like the song.

Hi,

Thanks so much! This is a cool idea. Two thoughts about the images:

1. I prefer man-made than AI-generated. So if you can recreate this, after having the final design, I'd prefer that. Of course, our time is limited, and you are doing this for free, so I'm not going to demand anything from you.
2. I think it's a bit two happy-smiling-kissing-bees. I would like to see some representation of the various musical styles. Like, showing in the background some factories (industrial), sea (surf music), etc. The last one, with the street lights, shows that to some level. (Other members, feel free to suggest ideas)

Actually, three things,

If you have the time and energy, maybe you can add more style to the community logo? If @GeneralVincent@lemmy.world agrees.

I suspect I'm missing something here

Mod here: That's cool, but please try to avoid linking songs that are performed by the same person/group. Occasionally it's fine. But, if we do this too often it is getting boring.

Thanks dude(tte). I've added you as a moderator!
