Friends, any recommendations for online/offline options for learning Indian regional languages (e.g., Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, etc) for a kid born in US? We speak native language at home and kid understands the native language, but will not speak generally. Looking for fun learning options to make their initiation into our native languages easier ( one language at a time)...

unfortunately they only learn from surroundings. our kid could not speak or understand hindi till 6 yrs even though both of us only speak hindi at home. she visited our home in india & stayed there for just 4 months & started speaking fluent hindi .

Varsity tutors
They have classes for many languages. They are like a platform in the middle that connects freelancers to users.
We started Telugu classes there for our daughter with a local Telugu teacher in AP. She charges $7 per hour.
The rates are different for different people.

Hi All, I am 11 yoe, working at a medium sized product company and I got an offer from Thoughtworks (50% hike) for a Lead Consultant role in data engineer profile.

Being a mother, I have anxiety and nervousness about joining a service based company bcoz of doubts below.
1. Job security, considering the upcoming recession is it safe to join TW at this time?
2. How good is WLB at TW for a Lead Consultant? Approx working hours on a daily basis?
3. How flexible is TW for WFH?

Please suggest

Has anyone here used the "Read Scripture" app? It goes through the entire Bible and includes accompanying summary videos from "The Bible Project" (whose videos can also be found on YouTube). I love how it groups portions of Scripture and the videos are helpful for making meaningful connections with the text. I love these for myself, but they're super kid-friendly, too. Excellent support for your daily study. Enjoy!

My husband is addicted to video games. We both work full time. As soon as he gets home he heads straight for the PlayStation. He will play from 6PM to 2AM.

I’ve tried to have conversations with him to lay off the games. He gets mad and says I’m a destroyer of happiness. Marriage therapist/ div lawyers must have had input in these games to secure $!
