@Read_The_Rheum I used "Mango Languages" to learn Telugu. It was a while ago - but it was mostly speaking + you could talk to it and it "graded" your pronunciation. Disclaimer: when I got to AP I was told the greetings were really formal (vs
everyday convo) but it def helped a little 😅

Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.

Dr. Anthony Fauci lays out three ways future scientific communicators can build trust:

1) Always go by the data
2) Admit when you don't know something
3) The goal is not to show how smart you are. It's to get people to understand what you're talking about.
