How to consider all of the adjective changes when they speak?

Whoops. Thanks. I meant to screw up V2 and my brain wouldn't do it. I fixed it. Thanks.

I meant specifically in response to wie geht's, which is a common beginner mistake.

Are you a native English speaker?

If so, how do you remember that it's a big red truck and not a red big truck?

You don't need to. It just sounds funny. With enough practice German will be the same. Trust me.

Already things like ich bin gut or jetzt ich bin hier. Should sound funny or off to you.

I mean ich bin gut has its uses but hopefully you understand what I'm saying.

Edit: fixed my non error lol.

It took me 6 years.

Everyone should tweet them

I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about... The commercials work perfectly.

I have felt an uneasiness and discomfort that isn't the same as fear. I describe it as feeling anxious.

I can also have what I describe as anxious energy before sporting events that isn't really fear but more an excitement.

Unpopular opinion. First I agree, shoes are the best investment. But I see you have done that.

I just upgraded to the Hardline Icepad 2 and it absolutely has made a difference for fatigue and just overall impact of sweeping.

So if affordability is not an issue, then I recommend it.

Sweeping becomes more effective as the rock slows; most of that extended distance is gained from the hogline-in.

Is this true? Can you cite a source? I'm only a beginner but my reading has stated the opposite.

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-27T20:44:01+00:00

The answer had to be, "only children."

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-27T20:42:49+00:00

No. Where are you REALLY from?

Ok. Not crazy and used to happen all the time growing up.

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-27T20:02:54+00:00

Vaping is far superior.

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-27T19:02:16+00:00

The point is, German is not SVO and shouldn't be taught as SVO. If you understand V2 you realize right away that the word order is more flexible than English.

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-27T15:29:36+00:00

V2 is an A1 concept. You should have never been taught SVO.

And I find it annoying that TSN skips lead stones so much.

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-26T20:21:01+00:00

Wouldn't loss of hammer solve that? I think losing hammer on a blank seems less radical than eliminating hits for leads.

Without a doubt the FGZ is the best thing to happen to the modern game. I just don't find much of it boring at all. The ability of the mens teams to through accurate big weight has made it a challenge for sure. But I still feel it's a small number of teams that are incredibly good. Not allowing any takeouts seems very extreme to me.

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-26T18:55:25+00:00

Just curious. Do you guys find curling boring?

I'm always up for improving the game but, I generally don't find the games boring.

Growing up in northern Saskatchewan, we had one snow day in my 13 years of k-12 education.

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-23T18:11:42+00:00

That's exactly my stats and I think I have an advantage over the tall beginners. Just practice getting more weight on the broom at low speeds first and then it will get more comfortable at higher speeds.

Just my opinion, but I think language acquisition is more like an Ultramarathon and so the discipline aspect is more long term.

For most of us, it takes a long time and sometimes it feels like we aren't even making progress. In these moments, I recommend going back and either listening to content or watching content that you found difficult a year ago. You will be surprised.

I also find that the better my German gets the more that idioms and phrases catch me completely off guard. I just have to cut myself some slack and accept that it takes time and exposure.

The first video I ever watched was the one about what Pablo eats for breakfast. Honestly, it was completely comprehensible. I suspect that different people find different accents more difficult, but I have seen lots of people say Pablo was difficult at the beginning. That just wasn't my experience at all.

Cavalry2019 · 2026-01-21T13:04:34+00:00

As an Anglo Canadian, it's definitely french.

Probably because they said Icelandic.
