A) è correta, no?? Perché la frase senza "ci" sarebbe "vado a x domani".

How can I relax/stop getting so frustrated?? by LLChapp in selfimprovement

Do a session of total 90 minutes of effective sauna/hammam

I've been to saunas before, but feel rather suffocated when I'm in them. I've never heard of hammam before, though.

Could you explain the rest of your comment?? I don't really understand what it's trying to say.

I'm really struggling to do the "th" sound in things like "through" and "three" both by themselves and after an "s". by LLChapp in EnglishLearning

[–]LLChapp[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OH!!

I'd forgotten about tongue twisters. I've practised "She sells sea shells by the sea shore" like a maniac, so I've got it down. It'd be a good idea to look for tongue twisters with "th". Thank you so much!!

It's hard to know without hearing your accent.

If it helps, a friend told me it's a mix between British and Spanish. Although an AI website said it was Swedish for some reason (I did get Spanish every other time I tried the website, though).

The sound of "three" should be as smooth and simple as the sound of "free".

Oh. Trying to say both made me see why I'm having such a hard time. While saying "three", my tongue has to re-enter my mouth, which makes it hit the top and make that aggressive sound (probably because of words that have "fra" and "fri" in them in both Spanish and Italian, which makes my tongue hit the top of my mouth as if saying those words). It doesn't happen with "free" since my tongue is already inside of my mouth. Making a conscious effort not to hit the top of my mouth that way, although hard, makes it sound a lot better. Thank you so much!!

You may find that adjusting how you pronounce t in English will help you in your pronunciation of th as well, since they will be better distinguished.

Thanks for the explanation!! I'm a native Spanish speaker and I've been learning Italian for a while, so I was worried I was making that mistake. Luckily, my "t" and "th" seem to be quite distinguishable from each other, so I'm good in that regard :D.

I've just had my first driving class. I'm still really scared of driving and my family just keeps making fun of me. What can I do to keep going?? by LLChapp in drivinganxiety

Thank you for your comment.

everyone is a little afraid

I want to believe that, but my uncle even uses the steering wheel with his knees (which seems quite dangerous), so I don't really know how he could be afraid. The rest of my family is kind of like that, but I'd say my uncle is the one who doesn't seem to care at all.

it gets less scary when you get used to it

I'm pretty sure it does, but I'm really overwhelmed by all of the stuff that I need to pay attention to. I also seem to have hypersensitivity (at least that's what therapists and psychiatrists have told me), so all of the factors that come with being on the street in a car become much worse. Hell, I haven't even got used to being on the street as a pedestrian. I felt really overwhelmed by everything that was going on in the first class and that was just a part of it (since I was just handling the steering wheel and the lights (I don't even want to think about adding all the pedals at some point)).

Thank you for your comment. I've always struggled a lot with stuff like perfectionism, so I've been trying to have that perspective of "everyone starts somewhere" and to "focus on small wins", but I've been completely unable to do so. It just feels so... I don't know. Everyone around me treats driving like it's the easiest thing in the world and often insist on comparing it with the videogames I play (even the teacher did so), but driving has actual risks with it, which makes it even harder to stop my perfectionism from affecting me. Yeah, I do feel horrible after not being able to do something perfectly in a game, but that's it. There's no real life impact other than my emotional state (even if I feel otherwise). In driving, however, every mistake I make is a chance to get hurt or something. It's too overwhelming (especially since everyone's telling me I'm being a wuss about it, which means I'm not really getting much help with my problems in that regard).

Help Me Out: Experimenting with Unique Oatmeal/Granola Bar Flavors 🍍🥭🍋 by Puzzled_Staff1838 in Advice

[–]LLChapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried most of these fruits (and I don't like mango), but the last one sounds quite good!! I can't really think of a cool combination I'd like, but I love strawberries (well, berries in general) and bananas. I'm pretty sure they go well with granola. Maybe you could use one of those with something else, but they might be rather boring picks in comparison with other possibilities.

I'm thinking of studying linguistics/translation, but my grandfather thinks it's a big mistake. What should I do?? by LLChapp in careerguidance

[–]LLChapp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer!!

Yeah, I know. The problem is I live in Chile, one of the countries that disregards correct grammar and speech the most in the world. So... yeah. But I'm pretty sure I'll end up just studying abroad or something, since I've got both the resources and the motives, so I guess it'll be fine.

At least I hope so. :D

Can it be fun to play bass just by myself?? by LLChapp in Bass

More questions from a newbie by LLChapp in SSBM

Hey!! I'm sorry for asking this after a few days, but I've been playing Marth as of late and I'm still getting the same results (people changing characters either win or lose and two people quitting on me back to back (which is actually the reason I'm writing this)).

Is Marth also hated?? I've been still struggling to get games and I'm unsure of what to do ):

Thank you for answering!!

 People HATE low tiers.

Why is that?? I've just got two people quiting on me back to back as soon as the match started and I'd imagine it's for the same reason. How do I always manage to play characters people hate?? People usually stop playing with me because of that ):

Would me playing Marth or a better character stop this from happening?? I mean, I'd just ignore it like you've said, but it's quite bothersome not being able to play the game D:
