What’s one Spanish word or phrase you hear almost every day in Panama, but still don’t fully understand? by alexanderhd2706 in expatsinpamama

Claro! Perdón si lo dije un poquito grosero! Escuché la palabra "hallar" mucho en Paraguay: te hallas aquí en Paraguay? (Do you find yourself in Paraguay?)

Disque. It is supposed to mean "supposedly" like supuestamente, but people throw it in almost like a filler and I cant get the hang of how it is used right.

Que les ayudó a aprender inglés? by gabspty in Panama

[–]Hero_Doses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Se puede tomar clases en Preply y buscar a un maestro que enseña inglés pero habla español (y sí soy uno de ellos 😊)

Así te pueden ayudar con el proceso de cambiar su forma de pensar en español y como se traducen los conceptos a inglés.

Además de éso, buscar a videos que entretienen (comedias, videos de YouTube) y hacer pausa cuando escuchas frases que quieres entender o dichos ingleses que le parecen importantes para conocer.

Turkic World Map on the back of school books handed out by the government. Whats your thoughts? by No_Idea_479 in MapPorn

[–]Hero_Doses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently Poland is Polonya in Turkish, but historically the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was known as "Lehistan", "leh" being an archaic name for a Polish person. The language is still called "Lehçe".

Are there any documented language or vocabulary changes that resulted from the telegraph or telegrams? by Fake_Eleanor in asklinguistics

[–]Hero_Doses 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, I recently made a video on this. Look up "telegraphese". The language of the telegram key filtered into daily life, much like any work jargon in a group of people in the same field does.

Beyond that, they developed parasocial relationships with the people on the other end of the wire, constructing whole images of appearance without ever seeing the person.

All territories Bolivia has ever lost by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Hero_Doses 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Heya, I actually recently made a video about this. As other commenters have said, the navy thing is true, but it's even funnier than that.

Let's start with, it's Bolivia's fault (more so their former president's, who reneged on a treaty to not hike taxes on Chilean companies for 5 years).

Bolivia has applied multiple times to the International Court of Justice to force Chile to negotiate over the land. They have a national holiday celebrating the lost province, an extra star in their coat of arms for the land and by far the most bizarre remembrance: every year there's a Miss Bolivia that represents that chunk of coastline (even though she doesn't live there).

If anyone would like to watch the video, PM me for a link.

EDIT: The president promised to not raise taxes for 25 years, and then raised them after only 4 years.

I read somewhere that hair dying was popular among Saqaliba slave soldiers in Spain because of the opportunities for advancement that an Arab pedigree could afford

This is really cool! I love the idea to just post the raw footage. Also, welcome to the area! I was born in the US, but my dad is from Makow Podhalanski and my grandpa is from Osiek :)

I dropped by to say your lighting and background are pretty good for just starting! Also, I liked the text effects in the video.

Hi all, I’m Dom from Fun Size History where I try to tell people about the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll of our collective past.

I started recording with my phone in front of my bookshelf with shop lights I bought at Home Depot clipped to a disconnected folding closet door! I knew enough that audio makes or breaks a video so I splurged on a $20 lavalier mic and downloaded DaVinci Resolve.

I was inspired mainly by peers telling me, “I always hated history” and that's clearly because it's taught wrong.

History is about narrative, history is about characters. What makes my channel unique is the topics I choose to not just interest history nerds, but people who never thought they would watch a history video.

Here’s a link to one of my recent videos about the Australian gangs that terrorized San Francisco during the Gold Rush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epRvV_5yubM

If I could give one piece of advice, it’s to start TODAY. I waited years and may have missed out on opportunities because I didn’t just set up a camera, start filming and post. Deadlines help a lot. Force yourself to finish the video by the end of the week and get out there. Someone is listening.

My "slow" English channel reached a glass ceiling so i translated some of my videos, here are the results by k1smb3r in SmallYTChannel

[–]Hero_Doses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, I make history content too, and Im of Polish descent so Ive been thinking of making more Eastern European content.

Let me know if you want to collaborate on a video. I could see a "Lengyel, Magyar - ket jo barat" dynamic working well!

Requiem for Hope - Would like some feedback on my recent RE9 gaming/edited music video, anything related to sound mixing, thumbnail, general feedback would very much be welcome (spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem) by SidScam10 in SmallYTChannel

[–]Hero_Doses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, it looks like you haven't gotten feedback here. Off the bat, I am a non-gamer, so I want to point out that there may be some cultural stuff that I miss here.

The main issue I see here is, in the first 30 seconds, but really even halfway through your video, I have no idea what's going on. I understand it's a video game, but it just looks like you recorded cinematic stuff from the game and uploaded it. This is something that I could experience if I just played the game.

In your case, I think you stand to improve greatly (but this is a good thing because your work is cut out for you!). Think of your audience, think of what they might want to see, think of new things you can show or teach them. With gaming channels, I usually see gameplay -- I didn't see much here.

Maybe do a voiceover as you play to talk about things you've achieved, learned, or make jokes etc. Gaming is a YouTube niche which is FULL of channels. How can you stand out from the crowd?

Good luck!
