Dutch has a very rigid word order and when I do exercises on Duolingo I often create rhymes by accident.
My favorite Dutch rhyme is Nieuwe wegdek, langere remweg. It’s very popular too, there are many signs with it. It means New road surface, longer breaking distance.
There are many alternative teaching methods that are usually not used in public schools e.g. democratic schools. I don’t know how it is in the US, but in Poland there was not a single lesson about how to tell truth from the lies. We were always told to blindly accept that what teacher said and what was in the book. The teachers had, more often than not, problems in their life and instead of talking them through on a psychotherapy, they were acting like fucking dictators, pushing theirs own traumas onto the kids.
Schools are so that parents can leave the kids somewhere when they go to work and to accept authority without question. No wonder far-right is so strong now

Why, actually?
It restores faith in humanity a little in me when I see “use your favorite search engine”
This is not Microsoft Excel. This app is just called Sheets and predates this phone. It was already on Psion Series 5 which run EPOC32, an OS which was later renamed to Symbian. This phone runs an early version of Symbian
Not every spreadsheet app is Microsoft Excel
Hopefully not
Well, I can’t afford even a small house in the foreseeable future and that trailer looks cozy, except for that TRUMP poster. Ngl, now I want that
Maybe they wouldn’t be able to afford rent otherwise?

To me, Dutch has been the easiest language to learn so far. Pretty simple grammar, similar vocabulary to English. Word order is the hardest part for me (I’m still making mistakes), the second hardest thing is the pronunciation. Pronouncing ‘g’ without hurting your throat can be quite tricky.
