Hi!

I would love to try this. I am currently on my 7th language so I am always excited to find language learning apps. So far none of them has beaten a good old language course and consuming media in the language.

Maybe the website has received a bit too much love but I am trying to search for a TV show and the UI is not reacting at all (I entered "How I Met Your Mother" in the textbox below "How to do what you love" on the playground page).

A bit of a strange question I have is who created the pictures for your updates page? The style reminds me of Raycast marketing material which I find incredibly beautiful. I really like the optics, is there a name for this style?

All the best!

I'd say it is more complex than this. I can recommend the book written by Marie-Janin Calic [0] which goes over the complicated history of Yugoslavia and makes it a bit clearer why the Balkans is the way it is these days.

But regarding your first sentence: definitely. If you listen closely you will often notice how Europeans mentally exclude the Balkans from whatever it is they are talking about. I think this sentiment has been especially felt when the EU was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize given that apparently there have been no wars in Europe after WWII.

Hi!

As a EU citizen who spent weeks sending GDPR requests back and worth with several data brokers I know just what a pain it is to get some data deleted. Even if it was only "trivial" stuff like things I have shopped for online (I always requested the data they had before requesting that they delete it) it was a laborious process.

I have two questions for you guys:

1) As a EU citizen do I benefit from signing up to your site or are the data brokers you are targeting focused on US citizens?

2) Why the monthly recurring fee? I would gladly make a higher one off payment every now and then for the removal of my data. Or is it monthly because you are keeping track if any of my data shows up at some point and then immediately remove it?

This is really good - I'd love to see an article just about how he made those mini-apps.
