Does anyone think they can just show up in front of any restaurant in Germany, speaking English as a lingua franca, and get a job just as easily as you would if you spoke German? My answer is no. People really like it when you can speak their language, and not speaking German creates problems with teamwork. Ah, I feel like I didn't sleep last night. I didn't that much, but I should feel good.

Hello everyone! 'I have been using Pimsleur for almost 3 months in order to learn Spanish and I think Pimsleur is the best method out there. I think it is because it makes you study everyday. Additionally, the words that Pimsleur taught goes to the long term memory and you won’t forget anything. The reason why I am posting here is that I need your suggestions. Thanks to Pimsleur, learning Spanish is a hobby for me and it is in my daily routine anymore. Even though learning Spanish is a passion for me, Spanish is not a valid language for business in my country. I need to learn German at least intermediate level in order to get better job opportunities. Here is my questions: Approximately, 10-11 days later I am going to finish Pimsleur Spanish Level 3. Should I start to Pimsleur German Level 1 while I study Spanish Level 4? If I should stop study Spanish, how can I maintain my Spanish knowledge if I start learning German? If I shouldn’t stop study Spanish, when should I start learning German? After level 4 or 5 or later? If anyone experiences such a situation, I would be very happy to receive their suggestions. Thank you.'

How long does it take to learn another language with Pimsleur?How long does it take to master it?

What about listening to songs, learning lyrics and singing at the same time? That could be a flow activity from which you'll get tired soon enough to stop listening to that boring song you are trying to master.

Mmmm, I'd go with cheesburgers and music for my dopamine hit and exclude everything else you mentioned. It isn't that simple, cause in a better environment, cheesburgers would not even cross my mind. Loneliness leads to addiction I guess. Take a nice vacation on a beach and see what I mean by environment having a huge impact on your habits.

This is true. Thank you for writing this post.

I just want to say that my libido or sexual desire is low and I think I don't want sex in life. Maybe I just want a good relationship without kids.

Methods are Meditation/Yoga, Mushrooms, Ayahuasca, 5-Meo-DMT, and Salvia Divinorum. Okay, so meditation is hard, it is boring, it requires you to have a very healthy and clean lifestyle and body, to exercise and be free from diseases, it takes so much time, it is just unsustainable in certain conditions and uninspiring to imagine, except if you visualize yourself meditating on a beach (cold or warm) in solitude and a beach like that is hard to get in life. Or maybe in a forest or on a mountain. But still. So it's not that bad, the traditional route to happiness and enlightenment. Then psychedelic mushrooms. Could this method be better than meditation? What do you think? But they are not potent enough compared to... Ayahuasca, which is only available in America. A little bit expensive... but I could take this path in life and maybe even learn Spanish, maybe one day find a job in a country like Costa Rica and in my free time go on these spiritual adventures in nature with psychedelics and ayahuasca and 5-Meo-DMT. I'm planning to get addicted for life so not even a vacation retreat in latin America lasting a month is enough. This has to be a lifestyle. I really don't know if its possible in other countries, esp for me. Finally, this might be it... What are the pros and cons of DMT vs Salvia Divinorum? Is Salvia Divinorum all you need to reach God, enlightenment and happiness? Do you miss something if you just commit to it and forget about DMT? Maybe I could imagine getting Salvia legally in Europe, while traveling to America for DMT once in a lifetime or something. Oh, I wish I could smoke some Salvia every other day and observe what happens.

@Epikur Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing! No wonder my IQ is so low when I listened to lots of music all my childhood and early adulthood, all day, every day. Mindless emotional music that made me daydream a lot. Music could almost never get boring, while porn I used to watch didn't take as much time to stop. I'll most likely read the article tomorrow and comment on it.

I couldn't watch the whole video, but I'll continue tomorrow. So the biggest problems are how society defines mental health, competition and loneliness, separation from nature and togetherness, and most of all from nutrient deficiencies caused by fast food and soil mineral depletion, toxins and neurotoxins. I have an interesting fast food solution that could compete with MC Donalds and KFC for you guys in the west. MCdonalds isn't that badt hough, it just needs to add a bit more veggies in those burgers. So here it goes: red peppers cut in halves and paté smeared over them with dry or fresh persley spread on top. It is delicious! Put three of those together and sell them for a decent price. And here is a great business model idea so you don't have to rent expensive property: PS: One day I really might have my own business selling food on the street. How great would that be? You travel and make a living.

Hope, hope, hope... it is the last to leave. Correction: "Hope is the last thing ever lost." --Italian proverb

They don't cause that much damage to the world with wheat, sugar and other unhealthy ingredients though. However, I wish I could create a successful healthy vegan restaurant.

Of course there is... It could be math and science or acting and singing or reading a lot of literature. Lost in translation I think. Oh right, you said "there is nothing like bilingualism" to expand the brain. You didn't say it is the best way to expand the brain! Hahah I got it, sorry.

I'll try to translate better. Language encompasses everything, including math and science, so there basically is no other way to expand your brain other than through language. I hope I got it. Oh no, I didn't, you said bilingualism.

How can I improve my native language? I don't read books regularly, I don't write essays, I don't know how to write and I rarely speak in front of people. I have no interests, only problems that give me excuses for work. @Carl-Richard So you clearly said that learning two languages at once shouldn't be a problem. If I learned them, I would know four languages. Wouldn't that be too much;) @LastThursday Of course there is... It could be math and science or acting and singing or reading a lot of literature. That's good advice, but I thought that reading the Bible and other forms of literature and then writing an essay about what I read was an even better way to improve my language. It's just hard work for which I don't have the right conditions. Thank you. You said it well (you think well). However, my English would improve more by learning Spanish than German because it is based on Latin. I'm just a bit more passionate about learning German than Spanish. @itsadistraction Sorry for taking a weird and dark turn! I am okay, but not all the time. I get frustrated when I can't do what I set out to do in a day, because I have low energy, little to no exercise, bad concentration, and it is kind of sad to hear but also my access to books is limited now, etc.

Oh, well, I wish I could. I have problems with abusive authority figures and health as a result.

I hoped that one day I'll move to Spain, get married, get Spanish citizenship, travel, have a job, intuitively learn etymology of the English language and one day go to England for something more in life. But now I'm totally sceptical. It has a high unemployment rate, problems with corruption, it doesn't have a great living standard and I'm too old now, too screwed up. If I start learning German, my English will worsen, but Germanic languages motivate me at this point in life, while this language doesn't.

@Raze I didn't know he went homeless, but still, no one was intending to destroy his life, keep him quiet and appearing crazy, and while he was sleeping on the streets of London or who knows where, he didn't have to fear people gassing him or injecting something into his body while he sleeps and then he wakes up the next morning all sick, tired, unwell, constipated, etc. After that he gets taken off the streets by the authorities and gets placed in a place like, Jesus Christ. I don't know what to say. I ain't jealous. Maybe he was suicidal because he is short, I don't know. I just meant to say that being born in Germany and learning German first, then going to Spain to learn Spanish and English, and then going to England, that is a real good structure. A really good situation in life. Germany teaches you discipline and stuff, Spain teaches you Latin and builds your personality, probably makes you charismatic, and then England prepares you to conquer the world with your book. Ain't that the best combo of stuff on your path to self-actualization? It's also really just a lot of freedom and growth. PS: I'm persuaded to drink pills again. God save me. This is a bad idea that is not gonna work.

Can I free myself from more chains people placed on me because of my mistake caused by their actions? I want to go after education and travel in the west, to find work to sustain that and bring back my health and to live where people are not criminals with positions of power. I still want to grow and be happy in life. How do I make bad people let me go? How?

It doesn't matter. I'm never gonna get DMT or Salvia or anything good.

I focused on constipation so much that they caused me to have, almost completely ignoring that they also somehow made sure I never again get to sleep 8 hours in a night without waking up and trying to go to sleep again. They used my words against me and they will say that I had this problem in the past as well, monsters, handicapping me so much.

I didn't watch the whole second video. Eckhart said how you shouldn't judge people but their actions, because they can change and awaken and how the judicial system is not always just. I like him. I can't go watch his videos now though and study his teachings and all that. But his life seems to have been so good. After elementary school he left Germany and went to live in Spain. He learned Spanish, studied philosophy, psychology, literature, astronomy and was probably very happy living there. I can't even imagine the scenery. Later he studied at the London University, philosophy or psychology or literature or all three. He started giving classes there and had an existentian crisis after which he becane enlightened and famous. I mean, I wouldn't want to be him, but that life journey sounds so fucking good. So much time and resources and cultures for becoming really healthy and intelligent. Not having to do things he didn't want to do and come back home miserable. Living in heaven basically all his life, from Germany, to Spain, to England, to America all his life... that sounds so good. It sounds amazing. I wish I had opportunities like that presented to me in life.

I should have studied international law, for human rights are so fucking valuable in the end, the human right is so fucking valuable, I realized it only now when I lost them all basically.

My beautiful house and my beautiful human right for free movement and decision of what to put in my body and with who to associate is gone forever ? If I didn't lose this, I would still be able to pursue something great. Now it is too late. It didn't happen yet, but I'm told that if I stop taking pills they will take me away. But I tell you it is gonna happen either way, for the pills make me less healthy and weaker and crazier, so do the people whose disgusting evil asses I have to kiss if I want to survive this, but in reality that too is useless, for no matter how much I try, I'll still be brought down even lover. Bad people do as much bad as they can get away with.

sOon they will make a lifelong patient of me for good. I'm already confined. I'll be utterly humiliated in front of everyone with lies and false stories. My life is destroyed. I'll be forced to take pills that make me crazy and confined. All my mental and physical capacities and potentil is gonna be stripped away so that I can never run away, so that I never get a chance. It would be better being dead than alive from what people are gonna make of my life. I'd tell my old self to be careful, to realize that the ideals of social justice for all it had don't work in this world. People who are on top of society can get real nasty and cruel, and they have others who do their dirty work for them as well. I don't know how it is in America though. It is probablyamazing there. If I was pursuing just a trade and an American citizenship all my life, as well as health and enlightenment, my life would have been amazing, I would have been safe and financially independent. Now I'm a subject of vicious beasts of the worst kind that eat you alive for years while you cry in agony and despair, your soul fucking trapped and your body forever. Please God set me free from those monsterous hands!!!! ??
