  • I am Polish, so it’s not that hard for me :) But I’ve made a huge mistake of not learning where to put an accent (ударение) on each word, so my pronunciation might be way off for some words. Also I try way too hard to make sentences that make sense in Polish, but in Russian they might sound weird. Lack of practice, I guess. But I definitely see progress over time when I talk to native speakers (Ukrainian refugees mostly).












  • My personal solution was to just drop computers/tech as an major interest, and find some other hobby. I found language learning to be a good alternative, because:

    1. You may be able to use it professionally.

    2. It might be useful when traveling.

    3. You can meet interesting people from various parts of the world and very often for free (language exchanges (online or not), playing video games, etc.).

    4. You are able to absorb other people’s massive culture, that might not be popular in your part of the world.

    5. You might impress some people with language skills, if you care about that.

    6. It is good for your brain.

    7. It is fun.

    As for computers, I mostly use them as a tool nowadays, and occasional video gaming and YouTube watching. I mostly don’t care about AI, or any other technological marvel that isn’t proven yet to be useful, maybe except AR and VR which I still hope will be a big thing in the near future. Especially AR.
