I think Krashen's "Natural Approach" is the best way to learn. It focuses on consuming comprehensible input (CI) - listening/reading in the foreign language, and making sure you understand around 80%+. The idea would be to start with very easy stories/sentences, and slowly build that up as your vocabulary grows.
Pimsleur & FSI are good resources. Also, try to watch movies/shows that you already have seen in the target language instead (e.g. Friends, The Office, Simpsons). That way, you already have the context, and it will be easier to comprehend.
You need around 100-200hrs of CI to have a basic understanding of the language (maybe you can't speak, but you can understand basic interactions in the language). At around 400-600hrs, you'll be intermediate, and after around 800-1000hrs of CI, you'll be fluent.
Yes, thank you! I hate this constant narrative that back-to-office is always tied to commercial real-estate investments, or that there's some magical tax incentive.
Usually what you have is: bank lends money to a commercial real estate company that owns the building. Commercial real estate company leases out office space to one or many companies. When those companies reduce or terminate their leases, the commercial real estate company struggles to pay their mortgage and defaults. Commercial real estate loses. Bank loses. And if commercial real estate had pooled investments to fund the building (along with bank loan), then those investors lose as well.
There are some large companies that own their own buildings, but that's more of an exception.

I'm assuming the numbers must include retail stores purchasing the product to sell to their customers too? Or are these direct to consumer numbers only?
Thing is, language is constantly changing, so if enough people say it wrong, it makes it correct over time.
As an example, people have been using nauseous incorrectly for so long, that it's now correct again.
Poor grammar on my side.
What I meant to say, is that he has already learned, and is continuing to learn. "Both" wasn't meant to refer to her.
I think the important thing to remember, is that everyone makes mistakes. It looks like you both have learned, and are willing to learn, from that experience to become a better person.
I don't think I've met anyone that doesn't cringe about something they've done in the past. It's part of growing up. The fact that you're facing it is a positive thing that shows maturity.
Everyone deserves love. Don't be so tough on yourself, man!
