I took three semesters of it in college. Alas, I've not used it in a long time, and so have forgotten the majority of what I once knew.
@ElizB nice
Do you enjoy teaching it?
ElizB
ElizB
@msh210 that's very common among college students that took it in the past. I certainly enjoy teaching it :)

Do you teach with… I guess it's called immersion? By which I mean: no (or very minimal) English allowed in the classroom

Well, all public ones, anyway. But here even most religious schools are public.

Czechia has banned all gatherings above 30 people

@JohnDvorak here it's a hundred — which seems like too large a number to me
@HTM still?
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
Which is going to be fun because of an upcoming religious celebration, which will now need to reserve 3-6x more meeting places decent enough for the celebration.

@JohnDvorak what's that? the day before Lent?
Many synagogues get >100 congregants every week. They're telling people to gather in houses for prayer, or to pray alone at home.
Oh, oops, I just looked it up: we're already in Lent. Sorry
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
commemoration of Jesus's sacrificial death. Considered a continuation of the Passover.

@JohnDvorak Good Friday, then?
or is that something different?
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
We're going by Jewish calendar
msh210
msh210
ah, interesting
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Uh wait what? [googles] Easter is April 12 this year and Good Friday would be a couple days before.
Oh. Jewish calendar and Christian holidays? Verrry interesting.
One of the Orthodox branches?
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
Basically, mainstream Christianity took the timing of Passover, and decided to put their holidays on the last Sunday before that date.
to avoid the logistics of two major religions having their celebrations at the same time, while mostly keeping the timing otherwise.
I believe Orthodox keeps the timing of Roman Catholic Easter?
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
So wait, which branch of Christianity is popular in Czechia and puts Christian holidays on a different day?
John Dvorak

I didn't say "popular"
Jehovah's winesses do
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Ahhhh TIL. That makes sense.

It seems that Codenames will have to be migrated to the Discord server, because of the lack of visitors to SE
