Non-Slavs who learned BCMS to fluency, how did it felt?

I'm a learner of many languages, one of my targets are French, Norwegian, Japanese, Armenian and Serbian. I don't know why, but I just love how Serbo-Croatian sounds, it might be because of music or something, I'm unsure.

How is living in Wallonia?

Honestly aside of Liège, I can name zero cities in Wallonia. I mostly know Belgium from Vlanders and never its bigger neighbor.

What do you think about Linguistic Purism (The Removal/Refusal of using loanwords of a language)

Linguistics Purism is when a language creates a new word for something the language never had,

for example Icelandic computer "Tölva" coming from Tala (Number) and Völva (Prophetess), giving Computer as a compound word meaning Number Prophetess. Or Vietnamese "Sinh Tố" meaning Smoothie. in which Sinh is the Sino-Vietnamese word for Life and Tố is for Element, making Smoothie in Vietnamese is "Element of Life"

Linguistics Purism is often (not all the time) the result of national identity, Many languages are linguistics pure like Icelandic, Arabic, French, etc. while some are full of loanwords like English, Japanese,etc.

I know this is a sin in the Violin community(maybe, idk)..but let me explain, I need help

So I really like to play the violin, the problem is in my region, Violin is very niche and finding a tutor is basically impossible snd even then, online tutoring might just be expensive after buying this damn violin

Not only that, Violin is rather more of a side hobby so I don't have a use of it in my profession. So I'm not that serious about it.

So should I buy these stickers? Asking seriously.

How did you guys learn to read & understand numbers in a language fluently?

It takes me 2-3 seconds just to say the entire number in a foreign language, if it's passive reading, I just don't even bother like "Lorsque le roi fut renversé en eighteen o nine" instead of "Lorsque le roi fut renversé en mille huit cent neuf".
And I would probably kill myself if I had to understand and write down
"zéro huit, quatre-vingt-onze, zéro zéro, quatre-vingt-dix-huit, quarante-sept".

At what grade did you learn basic Trigonometry and the Quadratic Equation at School?

I'm curious on what education is like in other European countries, I personally learned basic Trigonometry in late 8th grade and the quadratic equation in 9th grade. What about you guys?
