Fash,



Not to get off track but how many languages do you speak and how well? I'm always amazed by people who can fluently converse in multiple languages.

Yes, and I like that.



If he understood what he did wrong I would have more confidence. His comeback indicated that he did not understand at all.

If I recall it correctly he actually still thought he  had met the criterion.

I don't care what Frank posts..



But, and in my opinion, the money sense thread is the most important thread we have..



I want helpful advice there, not partisan bickering.

Not to stir up shit but is anyone here actually qualified to give that kind of "helpful advice"?



 I sincerely hope you people are not dumb enough to start discussing financial matters of a personal nature on a venue like this.

I don't see a problem with discussing venues and all investment options, and changes in desirability of options due to changes in world events etc.



I'm sure no one will give any indication as to amounts etc.



Maybe you are not fully aware that BC is  not "yer regular" internet group,  rather La Crème de la Crème  of internet folk, eh? ac_smile

There are many here with considerable financial smarts and experience ...



.... people with Interests (other than for bonds, lol)  in things light years beyond "What is for your breakfast?".. "I spent my day with an alcoholic", ... "I'm going to bed early." ... "Real life zombie escape room", .... " Movie sequels starring certain posters"  ... "Are you tired of being fat and ugly? " etc. etc.

With the exception of Romero who will rely totally on OAS/CPP, we all put money aside for our futures. The idea is to share what we know has worked and what to avoid. Nobody is going to be giving the pw to their online investments ffs. Relax old man, we're not trying to steal your marine pension cheque and invest in  the markets.

No worries Gook, I'm not the one I'm concerned about.

Fashionista is obviously very bright.

She mustve studied hard, been a bright student when she was younger.



I only know one language, English.

The only other tongue which I've been able to retain remotely in my head is Spanish.

I tried others like French and Japanese, but had  no luck.

They were too difficult to retain for me & the sentence structure too unfamiliar.

So...I'll probably take another 'stab' at learning Spanish.

Since Italian is close to Spanish, I'll try that. one too.

I like the sound of Italian and Spanish.

Italian is like music to the ears.



Btw, Fashionista, is the Taiwanese language the aboriginal tongue of Taiwan?

Or is it just another dialect or variant of Chinese?

Fash,

Have you ever played around with Duolingo and what are your thoughts on that company?
