Bonjour, je suis débutant,

Hi I am learning French atm , English is my second language, I have found a new way for learning French,

Let me clarify my French is really low level atm, it’s not good enough for post anything in French for me. If I someday I am able to post my post in French I 100% use French.

I have learned English for some years, for immersion, I have kept turning on English subtitles for videos in English on YouTube, it really works for me

However it doesn’t work for French because I have found it has lots of mistakes in those French subtitles which are autogenerated on YouTube , I was really disappointed until today I have found live captions feature on my Chromebook, it’s more accurate than YouTube captions. ( I have done some comparisons with some videos that have French subtitles easy French channel for example, yep it’s accurate)

Hi English is my second language, and I am learning French as well atm , I learn English via watching YouTube videos in English which I really interested, travelling for example, news for example, I turned on the caption for an immersion.

However interesting enough I have found this doesn’t work for French learning, because in comparison with YouTube English videos, French videos subtitles which French auto generated subtitles is really bad , it’s not accurate, in your opinion, how do I learn French via watching videos? Thanks in advanced

Hi , I have tried to learn English for some years, I would find tutor for guiding me at the first place if time could turn back, back then I only watched YouTube videos in English for immersion, my English was much worse in a comparison with today’s, but my English today’s is still really bad too.

I have asked ppl how to learn English here before, they said I need to read books even harry potter lots of books, I have tried but I failed, I don’t like literature my own, I ended up with too much new words and it’s painful, I couldn’t make it because I don’t read books even if it’s my native language but I have asked AI ‘how a STEMS background person fall in love with English readings’ and AI told me read some tech startup stories, some entrepreneurs stories. I have tried to buy some those books and I could stick a bit to read them but I found those books they seem don’t use formal English, they use informal, conventional English more.

Apart from that I have followed a tutor, he guides me to learn English, we usually practice speaking in lessons, maybe I lose my motivation, maybe I feel a bit burnt out, I mean it’s all my faults, I feel my English level is stagnating but I have found my English writing skills is particularly weak, my essay writing is really informal, that’s why I have found another tutor specifically for my writing.

Btw my personal route is in the morning I read out loud 30 minutes of BBC news, in the evening when I am off I watch videos in English ( only English subtitles for immersion), and I write IELTS writing task one and two when I have a lesson with my tutor he will give me suggestions

Any suggestions for my ongoing English learning? I found my English is still bad, my teachers they indirectly said my writings don’t make sense or something, and I found my writing is too informal too , formal English has another vocabulary, could you give some suggestions for my case? any help would be appreciated

I have a legacy SQL server 2008 R2, because we concerned about compatibility which we migrated it from a SQL server 2000, that’s I kept my database in a SQL server 2000 mode, the server itself just had 32 gigabytes RAM, this server was bought around 10 years ago, I am a software developer and I not really familiar with database management but I have tried my best to avoid the deadlock or things like that. with the data expansion, it performs drops day by day , recently it has been significant , the RAM usage is about 90% while the CPU usage is really low it’s around 10% to 30%, and I have checked hard disk it doesn’t have bad blocks or somethings. I have asked AI Anthropic, it gave me some SQL scripts
