N2 Grammar is really easy - what is everyone's problem?

I’m honestly not sure, let’s ask the boss @Pushindawood

Nonetheless, if it did that is a minimal given the amount of reviews you have done so still awesome.

Not sure ghosts are counted either, globally we are all using it differently

Sorry to bring this to you: you are not the “globe”. There other people here xD

I can’t know that other people exist, but I can know that I exist. So there’s no way for me to be certain that what you’re saying is true

I have no problem admitting that I am bringing down the global average :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Please don’t start me with solipsism (idea that you can not prove existence of “reality” so you can be just brain in a jar) xD One of my favourite debate topics after 2 beers :joy:

“I know this” doesn’t impact global averages.

… but what I want to know is: how do they know the other people’s score who have never studied on BunPro… awfully hard to calculate a GLOBAL average without this data…

Watch out, I am mentally preparing myself to beat your N2 average or I will reset my N2 results until I do.

Maybe it wasn’t meant as such, but how about we don’t ridicule people for trying their best. Learning a language is hard. It’s harder for some than it is for others depending on a variety of factors (native language, level of immersion, amount of free time to study/practice). What is easy for you may not be easy for the person next to you.

So instead of making fun of people for not having the best accuracy, let’s congratulate them for trying their best and working hard to improve instead of pushing them away from learning another language altogether by telling them they’re not smart enough, and “what’s wrong with you?”

I totally agree with you, but you have not got a joke I think: he got just one review with one grammar point from n2.

We are having laugh here at joke as friends should have from time to time.

I would bet that @kerehat is very likely to be British or from some part of US that just value sarcastic humour. 100% nobody here means any harm although it can look like that on surface lvl.

It took me while to notice as well. Just weird quirk of english culture :hugs:

But it seems true to me: I sometimes got a feeling that it is not exactly a place where newcomers can feel easy to enter. It is a shame indeed, but not by design.

No, I saw what was going on (literally the only part of the picture not blurred out), but I didn’t find it very funny. You’re right, maybe it’s not my kind of humor as it is easy to take the wrong way.

As a teacher, I just know people run away quickly at the first sign of failure or ridicule. So just the title alone without even looking into the full topic could be means for someone to lose motivation.

I am salesperson so I totally agree with you. But he made what he could to make it into joke. It will be total desert here without an inch of humour. D :

You maybe can’t see it yet, but I can see that many know people are starting in this kind of threads since they can be afraid to start in serious debate kind of thread to not risk being ridiculed. It lowers the tension.

In this thread alone is one person posting for a first time. Jokes work better as a starting point :hugs:

I thought it would be obvious that it’s a joke since I only had a single N2 review at that time which wasn’t even really a review as it counts as a review when you enter the first example sentence immediately after learning a new item on Bunpro. Sorry if it offended you but I don’t agree it was that bad

Nope, I’m from Germany. But I guess the stereotype is true, we Germans just don’t have any humor lol

Mate, I have started to like you and you are German? xD

After previous posts I am not sure if I have to add it but I love your country culture:Nietzsche, Goethe, Schopenhauer, Kant, Jung (? Not sure about that one, i believe he was native to the language though) just to name a few :hugs:
