Jeśli chodzi o naukę języków, to dużo uwagi w internecie poświęca się angielskiemu, który zwykle funkcjonuje jako pierwszy język obcy. Jednak jak to z drugim językiem obcym (którego wybór jest zwykle większy)? Czy kojarzycie jakieś szczególne zaniedbania, rzeczy, które uważacie, że powinny być prowadzone inaczej? Czy drugi język obcy w ogóle powinien funkcjonować w szkołach? Czy lista języków "przyklepanych" jako dostępne na maturze (a zatem takie, które szkoły będą faworyzować jako opcje języka obcego) powinna zostać rozszerzona?

So a piece of advice I see often, both in communities that promote eating less meat due to ethical reasons, and here for financial reasons, is to eat a lot of rice and (dry) beans. And like... Is there a specific reason why this combo? I'm aware beans are pretty high in protein for plants, but why them specifically?

Is it some kind of aminoacid or vitamin-related reason? Or just regional differences in price and availability? I ain't in the USA, so beans actually aren't that cheap - they tend to be 12 zł/kg off-sale here, while dry peas, which have around the same amount of calories and protein as beans, are 4zł/kg. Cheapest off-sale boneless pork is probably the same as beans, 12zł/kg, but it goes on sale more often, and goes down to 8zł/kg or even 7zł/kg regularly. Chicken liver tends to be around 7zł/kg even off-sale. I understand that meat is less "bulkable" than dry plants, but still

Similarly, why rice? I understand that kasza isn't really a thing in the USA, which tends to take a similar culinary role to rice while costing similar, but y'all still got potatoes (admittedly less shelf-stable) and flour

EDIT: Yeah okay, so from the comments, it seems like the rule, nutrition-wise, is actually closer to "grains and legumes" and rice+beans isn't a uniquely magic combo, it's just that it's commonly the cheapest in USA (where most redditors live) and has historical cultural significance (that isn't, isn't something that people online dreamed up in the last two decades), so people are more familiar with it culinarily
