It was on TV, and annouced widely, I knew and I was also a child.

If people didn't realise it's because they were negligent. It's insane to put the tax burden of this on a generation that will probably never get pensions at all!

Plus it's the only app I'm using regularly enough that @supabase.com has kept my db live - so I have my first user 🥳

And importantly, AI practice is a great support for human-led lessons, it bridges the gaps between sessions and keeps your mind active.

Have you been using AI to support language learning?

✨Be playful — make up silly conversations or small games. It keeps learning fun and natural.

📆 Don’t worry about being perfect. Consistency matters more.

🕥 Setting a regular time helps. For me it’s morning coffee before work.

For traditional materials. I follow a textbook for structure and visuals, then practice with AI.

extra 20% on top of this. Also people who are looking for treatment for cancer etc thats not provided my the NHS.

Plus therapy, dentistry etc. It's really the luck of the draw whether you would get treated on NHS, and of course the luck of draw which health treatments you need.

Lots of people have conditions that wont be, or can't be treated at their local NHS. I speak as some who has waited over 3 years for a treatment (which despite meeting the NHS guidelines) has been denied from me. It will cost 30K to have it done privately, I don't think its fair I should pay
