It only makes sense. Or am I biased? What do you think?i

It makes total sense! Motivation is everything. If you're interested in the content, you will persevere, and that means you will eventually succeed. (Not that I feel like I've succeeded yet, but if I hadn't been blorbo-motivated, I would not have studied/watched anything at all, so... that definitely is the way to go. )

I do like the concept of graded readers, learning goes much faster when you have a specific percentage (I think it was 95%) of vocab already present. But when I'm not interested in the content, I won't read them, it's as simple as that. There should be graded readers of BL novels!

The percentage thing I got from starandrea, but I don't remember the exact source. All I remember is that there was a site linked that made text adventures, and this post here has a bit about percentages... : https://blog.wordswing.com/posts/incremental-character-learning-through-text-games/

It's another form of gamification (although it did not work for me).

ooops, clicked the button too quickly.

so the company overall is known as FUK Coffee.

LOL, they set themselves up for that one! :D

Spring

Yay Spring! I love the cats, and all the blossoms, especially the cherry tree over the wall. Oh, and the house imitating the tree next to it. Lovely!
