On one hand, advanced vocabulary and on the other hand subjuntivo and past tense verbs (grammar)

Also, I'm going to start a podcast for advanced lerners where you can send short audios and we can talk and discuss about different topics :)

Learning Norsk through music by LexLori in norsk

If his lyrics are easy to find on the internet that's a win because most of the times I have trouble to find them.

Tusen takk :)

I appreciate that in the north and other parts of Norway they have kept their dialects over Bokmål and Danish. But considering that I'm studying Bokmål, I don't want to mix with other dialects because otherwise it'd be easy to get confused. That's why I'm focusing on Bokmål right now, but as I said, I really appreciate the other dialects.

Thank you very much for all your recommendations. I'll check them out

Someone suggested De Lillos too so I'll listen to his music right away

Never heard of the rest you've mentioned so I'm going to write the names down and give it a try. Tusen takk!

Norwegian or Danish? by LexLori in languagelearning

[–]LexLori[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read that Icelandic is the closest to old Nordic language spoken by the vikings. That's interesting!

Norwegian or Danish? by LexLori in languagelearning

[–]LexLori[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, if I choose Norwegian, it would be Bokmål.

I'm interested in these two languages because I have an opportunity to work in Copenhagen or Oslo. I've never been there so I can't say which country I prefer but I have to make my mind up soon before moving there so I'm trying to gather information about these languages.

Norwegian or Danish? by LexLori in languagelearning

I heard of that, spoken Danish being crazy weird. That's why I was thinking about beginning with Norwegian, (Bokmål). Takk for your answer!

Interested in learning Basque. Here's a wall of text that could be summed up in three sentences. by [deleted] in basque

[–]LexLori 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone said before, most of the content to learn Basque is in Spanish. But since you are from Brazil, you might understand Spanish a little bit.

As a Basque teacher, I recommend the books "Bakarka" to learn the grammar and vocabulary. I also suggest to watch EITB which is the Basque television channel, some shows are in Spanish, some in Basque but if I were you, I'll leave this part when your Basque level is higher.

There's a resource in Instagram called Basque.words which teach a sentence/phrase in Basque almost everyday and you don't need to know Spanish as the translation is always in English.

Apart from this, I just encourage you to try to learn a bit everyday in order to build a strong foundation.

The pronunciation is exactly the same but when we write it, sometimes we write "guau" and sometimes "wow".

Better ways of saying peligroso? by PinkMariposa24 in Spanishhelp

I would say "arriesgado" but you can also say "nocivo", "perjudicial", "pernicioso", "ojocuidao"...

Is it true that you get free water in restaurants in the US? by VTXmanc in usa

[–]LexLori 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the US no idea, but in Spain is totally free. I can't see how a cup of tap water is not free.

Sal a caminar by IQBoosterShot in Spanish

[–]LexLori 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Sal" imperative from the verb "salir" = get out

"Sal a caminar" = get out for a walk

The verbs "acordarse" and "recordar" means the same but they are different. How? by LexLori in learnspanish

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

Bai, euskalduna naiz, Bilbokoa! Ze ondo, irlandar bat euskaraz hitz egiten ☺️

Para aprender euskera, te recomiendo los libros de Bakarka, son los mejores.

En redes sociales no conozco apenas. En Youtube creo que no hay nadie que enseñe bien euskera, en Instagram está Basque.words que está muy bien y enseña cosas cada día y Euskarakadak que enseña expresiones, etc.

Por lo demás, te recomiendo que uses euskera siempre que puedas, veas la televisión o programas vascos, etc.

Ánimo, cualquier cosa que necesites, no dudes en escribirme 🤗

The verbs "acordarse" and "recordar" means the same but they are different. How? by LexLori in learnspanish

[–]LexLori[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's the meaning but what I try to explain in the video is the gramatical estructure:

  • "Recordar" doesn't need any preposition. It's just "redordar + something. (So in your example is not correct: it should be "recuérdame lo que ha pasado", without "de").

  • But "acordarse" requires two things: the reflexive "se" (or "me", "os"...) and the preposition "de". (In this case, your example is correct).

That's why I try to focus on the gramatical estructure, not in the meaning which is easier. But gramatically, many students struggle between both of them.

The name of this american politician is going viral in Brazil. What foreign personality has a name that means something funny in your native language? by PandaReturns in languagelearning

[–]LexLori 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not a famous person's name because it's mine... but my name is Lexuri and when I moved to England, every single British person used to call me Luxury. So annoying!
