IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2 Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads. | ||

Dreamhack led to a very rapid nerf of deadulus and sven, and I would argue that G-league is a more prestigious tournament than Dreamhack in the dota scene. edit - albeit, dreamhack took place over a much shorter period of time and sven wasn't really the problem | ||

edit - I failed spanish 2. Twice (I was in my 20s). Why did I have to have a catalallian (sp/whatever dialect) teacher... it was so confusing. "YOU MUST PRONOUNCE LL as L, IGNORE EVERY OTHER INSTRUCTOR YOU HAVE HAD" Of course it was a rolling dipthong L and ... but i digress. | ||

I'm not exactly sure what the cut-off year is (like <7 or 8 years old and people learn the language without trying due to some developmental thing). Of course it's always possible to learn a new language but short of complete immersion becoming fluent is a different, very difficult story. edit - I failed spanish 2. Twice (I was in my 20s).

Once you start working it's difficult to just go abroad for longer. | ||

So months ago I start with my Deutsch studies but someday I didn't read nothing or tried to look at my old lessons just because I wasn't really engaged with that. Tip: change anything you use (like browser, windows settings, steam, news sites, etc) to another idiom, it really helps because sometimes you have to learn another words just to solve a problem or just because you use so much that you learn what that means. | ||

It is related to how the brain works, young children have a much easier time learning other languages than adults. Later on of course time and mobility can help, but the benefit young children have is pretty massive in comparison, from what I've read about it. That's what I think he was talking about, at least. | ||
