    I am Polish, so it’s not that hard for me :) But I’ve made a huge mistake of not learning where to put an accent (ударение) on each word, so my pronunciation might be way off for some words. Also I try way too hard to make sentences that make sense in Polish, but in Russian they might sound weird. Lack of practice, I guess. But I definitely see progress over time when I talk to native speakers (Ukrainian refugees mostly).




  • My three biggest problems with YouTube are:

    • It sucks on desktops/laptops with bigger UI scaling enabled, some stuff just doesn’t fit.

    • The search function on YouTube is useless and completely broken. Instead of searching normally it:

      1. Repeats same results multiple times;

      2. Display unrelated Shorts nobody asked for;

      3. Instead of displaying relevant results it shows stuff you have already watched or picked by YouTube algorithm.

    • You can’t skip sponsored segments with YouTube Premium. You need SponsorBlock browser extension for that.
