    I too met my wife on Omegle. It was in text chat. We were both around 14 years old at the time. I don’t remember what talked about but we ended up exchanging phone numbers. We texted for years and would sometimes play video games together.

    Eventually towards the end of high school I was able to fly out to visit her. I did that a few times and was totally convinced at the point I was in love. So I moved across the country to be with her after graduation.

    Married and few years ago and we’re 27 now so it’s been 13 years since we met on there. :)









  • As others have said it is never too late to learn a language. Our brains are just as capable, if not more, when we’re adults.

    I’m also a firm believer that comprehensible input (listening and attempting to understand) is the best way to learn a language. You can’t start with high level speech though. You need to start with speech that is aimed at beginners or you won’t understand enough for it to be effective.

    Studying vocabulary in parallel helps a lot because it helps you learn niche words that don’t come up often in normal speech.

    The typical recommendation with comprehensible input is to listen for around a thousand hours and then start practicing with conversation and books as well.

    Good luck! Remember that with enough dedicated time you can learn anything. :)





  • It’s a relatively recent 1TB Samsung 980.
