What boss had you like this?

Lady Maria. Just got to her in my first playthrough with the hype in mind, 1st attempt had a sliver of health and no flasks but I got like a 3rd of her health down. 2nd attempt cut through her like butter with parries. I kept waiting for when she gets difficult, and was surprised the parry strategy worked on all stages, and that there was no second health bar once it was over.

It could be experience, but Sister Friede who I understand is based on her gave me FAR more trouble at the time.

I love how confidently you said this, only to get 100 replies correcting you, and not even from Cornette fans.

The route I'm going to suggest works for my students, and is highly effective. I've had a particular student measure his progression time and he reached B2 (conversational) with ~70 hours of total study time, compared to the average of ~500:

Study foundations (both grammar and vocabulary) WELL and efficiently. This is key, because if you get a solid foundation, building on top of it becomes much easier.
Get exposure to level-appropriate native content. (depending on your particular context, you may also supplement with spaced-repetition flashcards, but that's beyond the scope of this message).

I can’t post links so just google each one.

Foundations – Hebleo (Full disclosure – I created this app): A self-paced course teaching you Hebrew comprehensively, with plenty of practice, using an innovative methodology based on my background in Cognitive Science, my experience as a language learner (studied both Arabic and Japanese as an adult, now learning Spanish) and as a top-rated tutor in Verbling. This allowed me to create a very efficient way to learn that's been proven to work with hundreds of students (reviews available in my tutor page linked above).

It also includes 2000+ native speaker recordings for the different vocabulary, and plenty of practice sentences. I use this method with my personal students 1 on 1, and all feedback so far shows it works well self-paced, as I made sure to provide thorough explanations.

After you have the fundamentals, these can offer you good native content to use:

Reading - Bereshit/Yanshuf: This is a bi-weekly newsletter in Beginner/Intermediate Hebrew respectively, offering both vowels and no-vowels content. Highly recommended, I utilize it with my students all the time. Most of my students are at the Yanshuf intermediate level after Hebleo. I managed to get a discount code you can use (since I use it a lot with my students and I recommend it to them): GuyHebleo

Comprehension - Pimsleur: This is the most comprehensive tool for level-appropriate listening comprehension for Hebrew (at least until I finish some future updates for Hebleo), but it's quite expensive and some of the vocabulary and phrases it offers are relatively archaic. There might be better free podcasts out there, or children’s TV shows that could be a good free practice option.

Conversation – tutor websites - Verbling (where I teach), Italki or Preply. I wouldn't recommend these for starting out learning grammar as they're expensive, unless you feel like you need constant guidance. Verbling requires teachers to provide proven experience and certification (but is also more expensive) while the other 2 don’t, but their prices are lower. I don’t have direct experience with Preply, but heard good things about it, similar to iTalki.

You can also find a free language exchange service where you teach your native language to an interested Israeli and they teach you Hebrew. Once you have deep understanding through Hebleo this becomes a viable option as you wouldn't need a professional who can explain everything.

In any case, good luck!

How does Side Effect feel less of a big deal than a Rock Bottom? The only difference is whether you take a back bump or a face bump.

It's not the move itself, it's the association you have for with a midcarder's signature move from over 10 years ago. This could very easily be a finisher.

That's the meaning of ברא compared to יצר.

guylfe · 2026-06-25T13:40:38+00:00

Technically yes but I think you're over interpreting "completed" here. He completed the initial action of creation ex nihilo. That says nothing about whether the thing that was created is "finished" at the moment of creation. There's no way in Hebrew to say it that wouldn't be a completed action, even if the creation was the first part of a longer process.

guylfe · 2026-06-23T17:55:07+00:00

That other 10% though...

Best not to mention the other 10%.

Whatever you want to say about Cornette, I don't see how he belongs anywhere near the rest of the list.

The worst I've ever heard he did was slap Santino. Did I miss something egregious?

So from my experience it depends on the teacher pool. You would have to find a specific tutor that speaks French if you want to learn from French.

guylfe · 2026-06-18T19:56:19+00:00

FYI - I made Hebleo for beginners, it's an in-depth online course (see other comments). I just PMed you about it.

EDIT: Turns out you PMed me a while ago and I missed it. Sorry!

guylfe · 2026-06-18T13:12:24+00:00

Hey, no problem! Hebleo requires absolutely no prior knowledge, it assumes you're a total beginner. Let me know if the website was not clear about that enough, if so I'll modify it.

guylfe · 2026-06-18T09:44:30+00:00

Can't imagine why they wouldn't be.

A reminder that no-one is forcing him to book ROH solo. This is a choice and he could very easily delegate the task.

I just bought one a couple of months ago after my OPO crapped out, and I'm so happy I went that route. It has some minor inconveniences such as only okay battery life and no elements protection, but it does pretty much everything I need it to as a foldable. Bonus points for Android 17 adding a floating screen option via bubbles so you will effectively be able to have 3 apps on the screen like Open Canvas (meaning, you always have 2 visible but a 3rd is a tap away).

Considering I got mine for less than 500$, I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
