10 roads and a city

If 10 different roads take you to the same city, does it matter which one you take? 

In the same way, if all avenues of life take you into death what was the point of living well? The good man and the bad man are both destined for the grave. 

We have only guesses as to what happened 6 million years ago that ended all life on this planet. In 6 million more no one will remember World War 2 even happened.

And if WW2 won't be remembered, certainly the good and evil deeds of ordinary people will not be remembered either. And if no one remembers them having happened, who can say they did? 

We're all going to die, and whether we helped or hurt those around us, the world will march on happily without us and one day forget we even existed. 

"Bruh this is a language learning forum"

Consider this an exercise in more advanced English sentence structure

A scenario

What if you had to spend eternity alone? Let's say you're on a copy of earth but void of all life human and otherwise. Portland, Paris, and Moscow all exist just as they do now, but empty. As if all living things just winked out of existence without any warning or reason.

What kind of effect would that have on your mind after 10,000,000 years?

What do you think you would look like?

What would you do given eternity and unexplainable immortality?

Un question j'ai 1. Mon (My) père (dad) est (is) à (in the, to the) la (the) retraite (retired) Why is "à " in there? Couldn't someone simply say "Mon père est retrait" or would that not make sense? 2. Je ne vous comprend pas. Why is the sentence structured this way instead of subject ---> action ---> object of action (vous). Help me wrap my English brain around this. Because to me everytime I see this I can't help but think, "I you don't understand"

Anki: How to add MP3 to the words

Does anyone know how to take the MP3 from say Google Translate and put it into an Anki flashcard?

I know you can record your own voice as the MP3 for the flashcard but that's not what I'm looking for.

Learning French

I want to learn French but I'm finding it difficult to begin the process. Are teachers comfortable teaching someone who begins with such little understanding of the language? 

I've tried doing Skype conversations with French citizens looking to learn English but I'm not sure either of us learned anything as neither of us have enough of the other's language to communicate complex ideas to the other one. So our progress is stunted and very slow at best. 

For those who have learned to be conversational in their target language: How did you do it? 

Is starting with a native tutor on iTalki a good approach to begin learning?
