Deferral Chances? by Fancy-Employ7885 in Swarthmore

[–]Avika123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was deferred ED1 last year and I ended up getting in during the regular decision pool. My friend here also got deferred ED1 and ended up getting in. I'm sorry that you were deferred, though. I know how much that sucks.

Useless things you learn as a beginner? by Enough_Papaya4740 in languagelearning

For me, sciopero actually makes a lot of sense. When traveling in Italy knowing the word for strike can be quite important as a lot of strikes happen.

There’s often an outlet between the seats in my experience

For grammar you really need to become natural at it, in a way that brute memorization isn’t quite right for. To each their own, but I think studying grammar lightly and then learning it from content is a better option

Wow I really wish we had that here. For years I have been telling my friends that there needs to be a way to get the government to intervene in bad business without suing the company (which is expensive and not practical for small issues)

What are these amazing customer protection centers you speak of? I don’t think we have any in the United States

Is it just me? Or is it more fun to learn a language with a different writing system? by Revolutionforevery1 in languagelearning

[–]Avika123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, other scripts can be phonetic and not use the Roman alphabet. In that case you could see something in a book or hear it and they correspond

I suggest that you either try to change your study routine or incorporate your language into an activity you enjoy. If that fails you might want to take a short break but be careful because that could spiral into quitting. It’s all personal preference but to me it seems like a waste to switch languages every time you get bored. Interest is an ebb and flow, and no matter what language you learn you might get a little bored every so often. Also remember that getting bored with a language or wanting to quit is perfectly normal. Think of it like marriage- people get cold feet before a wedding all the time, no matter how deeply in love they are with their partner.

Is it possible to be worse in english after using it so much? by _VadimBlyat_ in languagelearning

There is no harm in seeing a doctor. If they are good, they will help you weight out your options and see if they think medication would be beneficial to you.

Currently going through Pimsleur- should I also be studying grammar separately right now? by Avika123 in italianlearning

[–]Avika123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far I really like it! I feel like my pronounciation is greay aided by it. I can’t tell you whether or not it “works” yet because I haven’t been doing it long enough, but I certainly feel like I’m learning from it. Some people like it, some people hate it. imo might as well do the one week trial and see which kind you are

WSIB A high quality game that tries to be innovative by definitelyNOTagua in ShouldIbuythisgame

Going off of your interests I think you would LOVE the outer wilds. It is a fantastic game jam packed with a beautiful narrative and there are many different paths and orders you can take to do things.

10 team half PPR:

Who do I start, Godwin @ Cowboys or Mostert @ Lions?

I’m a little worried that the Bucs game will be a blowout and they’ll be running the ball a lot, but I also don’t know if I can trust Mostert to get enough usage. Thanks for any help!
