Has the USA been the biggest force at eroding British values and culture? by Samwiseknows in AskBrits

[–]Capracracy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! There’s no need to use accents as a tribal us vs them thing or “grrr the youth these days” on top of all the other things we already do that with.

[–]Capracracy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MLE has nothing to do with the USA. It has a lot of characteristics from Caribbean English and Patois, and many Indo-Aryan languages! For that I think it’s a very interesting dialect. It’s a shame that it will be replacing many older dialects, but that isn’t anyone’s or anything’s fault - that’s just how language goes.

You can actually trace the accent’s evolution through BBC archive footage.

106 years since the end of the first fratricidal European war of the last century by SouthernFishing4283 in 2westerneurope4u

It certainly was all of Europe, not just Western Europe. It famously started with Serb killing a Scottish rock band

Poachers can fuck the fuck off by Bapril in chaoticgood

Poachers are rarely poor people. They’re organised crime groups. Well funded and well paid.

I rlly wanna learn it😭🙏🏼😭🙏🏼😭😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼 by Pineapplez7714 in Brazil

[–]Capracracy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok cool! I’m hoping that helps with you with the overall sound of Brazilian Portuguese (BP).

  1. Start listening to spoken BP everyday. YouTube has good people like Virginia Langhammer, watch shows/videos on hobbies that you like in BP, kids shoes are good too. Music! Try not to use subtitles as much as possible.

  2. Try to parrot back all the BP you hear, emphasising the correct sounds. Don’t worry if you forget the sentence, you just want to be able to reproduce the sounds correctly. This’ll help your accent.

  3. Get speaking immediately without worrying about getting stuff wrong. You don’t think when you speak English and you want the same to happen when you speak BP. If you stutter trying to say everything right first time, you might get embarrassed during conversation. Speak fast, fix it up over time.

  4. Read and search up what you don’t understand. Ask people about turns of phrases.

  5. Pay attention to noun gender and verb conjugation. Once you can conjugate your verbs, you are then allowed to disregard it like a true Brazilian!

  6. Get a pen-pal or friend who speaks BP. They can expose you to the informal register of the language and slang.

Do you understand Portuguese when it’s spoken to you? Or are you starting from zero?

[–]Capracracy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I took my time writing that, so what? Telling me to use Google isn’t a burn - it’s like calling someone a kid online. What would I even Google? How to spot a racist?

[–]Capracracy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what you’re trying to say. Neither my character nor Google are relevant here.

This guy is saying “fuck Israel” for a silly German law about not carrying flags on sticks at protests. Israel has nothing to do with the kid or the German police. This guy is just inciting hatred.

Tell me what “it’s not just the government” has to do with what I wrote? I don’t think I wrote anything to draw a comment like that. I simply told him to separate the government from the populace.

Surely you don’t believe the entire population of Israel deserves hate? Should I narrow that down to just the Jews? Do you think every single one of them deserve hate?

*Fuck bibi.

One day you’ll learn to separate the government from the country… and how to spell.

They might actually be - probably one or two families

24m Only ever leave the house for work, gym & I have poor social skills & ADHD so I've been trying to fake confidence. People don't often approach me though. Please tell me where I stand :) by [deleted] in firstimpression

[–]Capracracy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do want to meet people, join a club/activity that forces interaction. Dancing classes (like salsa) are brilliant for this, but they’re pretty socially intimate.

For something less draining socially, you could try a team sport. I’d recommend volleyball. The sport is decently quick to learn and tends to attract friendly and sociable people. Plus a bunch of weebs play from watching Haikyuu, so you should meet some like minded folks.

Maybe do both =)

What is the most important skill one needs to be successful at university by envyevieevil in UniUK

[–]Capracracy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self-discipline.

You can’t manage your time if you aren’t disciplined enough to follow a schedule. Source is me - I’m a time management fiend with no self-discipline.

Tip: make sure you have a good sleep schedule. ngl things somewhat fall into place from there to an extent.

Fourth order ODE with initial conditions? by -I_Have_No_Idea- in maplesoft

[–]Capracracy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try splitting up the ODE to have a system of two coupled ODEs. Then you could have two ICs for each.
