also I'm not 100%, but I feel like Tupac is one of those that got more famous/known posthumously. Present day I think a person in the UK who's say 30 years of age is more likely to know Tupac than a person who's 60 years of age.

he was super famous at the time of his death, but maybe she was just with posh friends and was not following what was going on on the American rap scene.

I remember a few years ago at the Australian Open when Rublev played Zverev, and the commentator and co-com were debating which of them was going to go on to win more slams lol, can barely get a semi between.

Basketball gets virtually zero coverage in England, and I mean bare minimal, I don't even think anyone owns the rights to British basketball, last I head some internet outfit bought it but not sure if that lasted, same as winter games, sports nobody here really cares about, our effort and financial input is so low that at every games our target is 4-6 medals, no gold medals, just medals, it's all about the summer games.

I do like the Winter games myself though especially the snowboard races

Rune can do this against mugs, but harder to get with against a player like Zverev.

In this regard I remember that there has been research that Danes themselves struggle learning their language and that they process language differently to speakers that actually say the words. Danes are meant to basically guess a lot of what was said from the context of the word and syllable snippets they were able to make out.

They don't really understand much of what they say to each other, but just guess from context.

Could this be why Holger is mad at his mom and the rest of the box? They do say encouraging words to him, but he just doesn't understand it.

that sounds bizarre, I used to watch these talent shows on youtube, voice, X factor etc from around the world, and the Danish language sounded the most unfathomable to me, couldn't catch a world of it, thought it sounded like German being spoken backwards underwater.

that link Caramba posted, that was really weird, they were Norweigan actors? but were breaking out into English but with Irish - borderling South African accents

Surely from context of Anneke loving him so much he'd strongly assume that they were cheering him on in all the best ways.

....but maybe if his mind is in a really bad place, he starts understanding bad things indeed.
