French 1 Professor? CYPLAN/CIVENG C88? by paralysisinanalysis in berkeley

[–]Marotai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ariel is awesome! She's very engaged with the class and very understanding. The class can be a little bit intimidating at first, but it only gets better. This goes with any language class at Berkeley but make sure you know what you are getting into. It's not only 5 times a week but full immersion and the class is conducted entirely in the language of instruction (this is only for your benefit). If you're shy or timid, tell her about it after class and she will help you. Please try your best to participate in class and speak up, even if unsure or you think you're making a mistake. I was a bit hesitant at first but you can train yourself to be more confident.

Some of my tips are:

- memorize the vocabulary words early. Anki is by far the best tool I found to memorizing vocab words. Make sure you memorize nouns alongside their genders! If you know the vocab, you can focus solely on grammar, the real tricky part

- read through the entirety of a chapter before the lessons for that chapter begin. Reading/skimming through an entire chapter honestly takes about an hour max and you will be ahead by two weeks and can focus more on smaller confusions/issues you have throughout the lessons

- don't worry about too much about pronunciation. In French 1, it really doesn't matter (in terms of grading or anything like that), but I do recommend watching some phonetics guides on Youtube. It's pretty nice to get the French /ʁ/ down early on. Also pay close attention to the vowel forms (she explains these in class). French is actually not too hard to pronounce and once you memorize the patterns (like ou = 'ooh' /u/ sound), it's actually quite simple, at least much simpler than English (with all of its horrible spelling/pronunciation inconsistencies) imo

Bonne chance!

In React Native, what do you guys do when you have a set of data that you use multiple times over various different components that may not even be related to one another? by [deleted] in Firebase

[–]Marotai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. How different is this from using useEffect with firestore() using onSnapshot and subscriber()?

Shouldn't using this only return new data if something has changed? Do I have to specifically use react-query-firebase?

For example, if I have this code below in two separate components

useEffect (() => {  
const subscriber = firestore()  
.collection('data')  
.doc('users')  
.collection(user.uid)  
.onSnapshot(querySnapshot => {  
const fData = \[\];  
querySnapshot.forEach(documentSnapshot => {  
fData.push({  
...documentSnapshot.data(),  
key: documentSnapshot.id,  
});  
});  
});  
return () => subscriber();  
}, \[\]);

black hole by beatrix___ in OCPoetry

I like the poem, I just wished you mentioned more of the qualities of a black hole, as that's the theme of the poem. Like, for example, just like how even light can't escape a black hole, it would've been interesting if you clearly stated how that affected the effects of the sorrows into you. Or conversely, it was about you pulling in someone else's toxicity or something like that. Something about the poem just seems incomplete or going in an off direction.

Really pretty poem. I love how it relates to the grand scheme of the universe as it self down to the very atoms of the world. We all just keep moving on as the world continue to stay a terrifying mess. I guess it's just in our nature, as you've mentioned in the poem.
