I'd like to get back into Live class stuff, which can be done through the Calendar section of the group. Interested to hear what kinds things would be of interest to you all. Language Learning Q&A / Strategy Sessions, Language-specific stuff (Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, etc.) OPI 'gym' time, experimental stuff such as starting a random language from scratch in an hour, or even (my personal favorite): ILI (Improvised Language Inventing). Let me know what you all think. Thank you as always for making this such a growing and lively group! Feel free to hit this poll, and of course your written comments are highly welcome.

From a YouTube comment response: You can judge a verb's frequency by observing how often that verb happens. Look around right now. What verbs are happening? Are you sitting? Do you more often sit or more often stand? Do you walk more often than you run, or do you run more often than you walk? How often do you drive? If you're a professional driver, then you drive often. If you don't own a car, you probably don't drive frequently. Everyone's verb frequency varies somewhat. But there are some things that are always happening. Being is always happening. Happening is always happening. So the first two verbs I'd want to know, or at least as early as possible, are: 'be' and 'happen'. What is this? What's happening? I'd learn those verbs in the form of a question, and be able to give at least one answer to each question. The first criterion of verb frequency is how often an action happens. The second criterion is how likely you are to talk about that action. For example, breathing happens more often than eating, because you're always breathing, but not always eating. But you're more likely to talk about what you had for lunch than you are to talk about how your breathing is doing. But again, the dietician talks about eating more than about breathing, while the yoga instructor may talk more about breathing than about eating, or at least more about breathing than the dietician does. So if you can find the sweet spot between how often something happens and how likely you are to talk about it, you can estimate a verb's frequency.

French class in @Mikolaj Walczak's group

What if the 'learning' part of language was nearly effortless, and all that was left was to practice speaking. Would you not like that? Because in that case there would be no excuse not to speak. "It really is Instant Conversation." - @Mikolaj Walczak @Gabriel Santos @Zia Oatley
