Always a good way to test it in a friendly environment: come to GalaCon
There, we have attendees from literally all over the world, the common language, of course, has to be English (we use German when only German speakers are present on the spot, too, of course). For many of them who come from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, France, the French speaking part of Switzerland, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Indonesia and so on, English is a foreign language, too, the fewest of them are native speakers And even the native speakers from Great Britain, USA, Canada and Australia know that for most other people English isn't their native language; if you don't understand something, you can always ask again what they meant or for them to speak a bit slower, and they will do it - it's a very good way to use, practice and improve your active language skills in a nice and friendly environment

Since i have Spotify i listen to much more music. Even in my childhood and in my teenage years, when Viva and MTV were still a thing i didn't listen to that much music back then. Same with youtube, which i used many years ago to listen to music but it also wasn't that much. Do you guys also listen to more music nowadays? and do you also listen to music on Spotify?

I use Spotify at work only. They removed many MLP songs and some are replaced with spanish versions . . . urgh.
At home i have my own libary used with kodi. I downloaded a lot of songs from youtube.
By the way: Happy st. Patricks day!

@D4rkni9htblue
Oh man that must suck, when songs from a popular cartoon like MLP aren't on spotify anymore. And there are just some spanish versions. I would be pissed off too, if i have a favorite cartoon that i like and also would like the songs from this franchise and then suddenly they are removed from Spotify. Probably some licensing issues or maybe another reason why the songs are not there anymore.
By the way thank you for the happy st patricks day wishes. I normally don't really care about this holiday at all but i don't mind it. Unlike halloween which is still not my thing, but i don't hate it anymore like i used to many years ago.

I got used to it a long time ago, thats why i pirate a lot.
I am that lucky to find the few songs that get discontinued. I love niche . . . What are the odds?
If you want something save, don't rely on live services. I have a few games, that went dead too. In the past there were mod communities reviving privat servers, but nowadays you can't bet on that sadly. In addition for your afford to save a game, you get a lawsuit, because a AAA Studio bought the license just to let it die.
For St. Patricks day, i don´t bother eather. In my Town there is a irish pub, but since it got sold, it isn´t a real irish pub anymore. No guinness here at home, but how about my beloved blackberry cider

I still try to pronounce the word squirrel, but i just can't do it. Even though i try to say it correctly for years now.
Even after listening to the word many times it's impossible for me. I have no problem with most english words because i can pronounce them correctly, but for me personally the word squirrel is the hardest english word so far.
