If I could have given this post 10 votes I would have. Having been away for a week, I am reading this thread with more and more sadness. Not because of the OP. In fact, what I take away from his experiment, is the inspiration to try a major cramming session as a starter for my next language (though including regular amounts of sleep). I did however think we were better than this, and more generous than this. And after having been here for just a year I assume I am still considered a newbie and therefore obviously not worthy of the same respect as the ones who have been here for years. I am sad also to learn that. I thought you got the same respect regardless of the time you had been on the forum. I do not need to see an example of what the OP has learned. He tells us that he learned a lot, and that he assumes it is a B1. That sounds high to me, but I have no reason to doubt his word. I am happy that he has taken the time to share his experiment with us, and I can't really say that he owes us any more than that. What does anyone know about anyone anyhow? I have posted a picture of a lady in her forties, said I speak 8 languages and shared stories of a long life, but for all you know I may be a spotty 12 year old monolingual, American boy with a vivid imagination and really bad spelling.

Ya, agreed with Volte and Solfrid Cristin. Abazid has accomplished many positive effects here--including a great sense of accomplishment for himself. (Whether that sense of accomplishment truly reflects his level of A1, A2, B2, whatever...it still feels good to him, right? and that will help him learn more of the language, whether it is right or wrong.) He has even inspired me to push myself more with my language learning--especially now that i have the time to even be on here and read the forum.
many other people are just plainly responding to shut him down. for the sake of pushing their experience of what is more accurate, they challenge him, disrespect his information and who he is as a person, feed him negatives of his positive experience, and spit on his accomplishment. They are no role model, no matter how many languages they've learned. They should be ashamed. 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes the issue is respect. If we can respect only those we agree with, it is like granting freedom of speech only to those we agree with. 9 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Disagreement is not disrespect. And nobody has impeded the OP's freedom to express anything he wanted. 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

There is no reason to close the thread. The OP should remain free to make additional observations should he feel so enclined. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
