Just realised I haven't posted a picture of myself in about two years.

I think it can help to read German football webpages. You understand a lot just by knowing the context, and if you use a dictionary now and again you can build your vocabulary.
Watching movies with subtitles is great, listening to radio is great, just reading news and books is great - all this helps you build passive knowledge of a language, but it's crucial to actually practice talking (or at least writing) if you want to gain active command of it, there's no way around it, I'm afraid.
No wonder, otherwise they'd have to tell you all about your government helping create the conditions that allowed Pol Pot & Khmer Rouge to seize power and secretly supporting them for over 15 years
Seriously though, after talking to many people from various countries, I realise that education in LT was ace.
