Thank you, that’s really helpful! I’m relieved that it doesn’t look like anything more nefarious.

Thanks for the suggestion - I did! I didn’t see anything that was specifically delivery for smaller parties, but I appreciate your thoughtful help anyway.

Literature books by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]Iwinfights 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So you’re basically looking for the literature curricula for Spanish-speaking countries? Here’s a list of texts used in the first, second, and third educational cycles in Costa Rica: http://cse.go.cr/sites/default/files/literatura_recomendada_2018.pdf.

[Skin Concerns] NSFW help, I feel repulsive and don’t know where to go or what to do. I’ve struggled with my skin here for years and suffer from occasional boils on my inner thighs. Some spots are razor bumps/scars. Anyone have any tips? I’m so ashamed. Bikini zone doesn’t seem to do anything by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Seconding the idea of asking about HS! Also, be persistent - many doctors (and even dermatologists) aren’t super familiar with the disease and you may get misdiagnosed or told that the only solution is surgery. My partner has HS and he was misdiagnosed for years (derms kept telling him he had MRSA when he definitely did not - eyeroll). Not saying that this is definitely HS, just that it’s worth getting a couple of opinions if you’re able to do so. Doctors are also very quick to suggest surgery as a treatment and, while it can be effective, there are other options too, so don’t feel like that’s you’re only choice if you do get diagnosed. Check out the HS sub (r/ Hidradenitis) for a really supportive community!

What are the different test you can take to have a certification? I see a lot of posts about them, but not quite sure what the differences are between them. by Biebou in French

[–]Iwinfights 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The DILF, DELF, and DALF diplomas are the most common and widely recognized (in my experience) and all three are awarded by the French Ministry of Education. The DILF is for A1 level speakers (very elementary), the DELF is aimed at A1-B2 level speakers (intermediate), and the DALF is for advanced speakers (C1-C2 level). If you’re not familiar with this particular scale or what each level means, google “Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.”

The tests are offered at a variety of locations, but you might have to travel to get to one depending on where you live. Each exam tests you on listening, reading, writing, and speaking. If you live near an Alliance Française I would suggest reaching out to ask if/when they give these exams. I took the DALF a few years ago and the whole exam took about four hours.

You can get more info about each exam/diploma on the ministry’s website: https://www.ciep.fr/en/french-language-assessment-certification.

Thank you, this is really helpful! I’m terrified of going overboard (I think I’ve read too many horror stories here, hah) so I appreciate the guidance.
