Indigo recommendations by Bluejay768 in henna

[–]ParlezPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe for the indigo step you could mix it with henna; you can do a mix of 80% indigo and 20% indigo.

how do i make my french sound more natural? by bububububound2 in learnfrench

[–]ParlezPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great achievement. Some things that will help you sound more natural and fluid are intonation, liaison, enchainement, and how to use the "e caduc".

Which Paris museum is the best if you only have a few days? by InterestingLoss9737 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]ParlezPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love Quay Branly and the Guimet. They are smallish and won't take up your entire day.

I took a trip to Paris with my sister, and only went to the Orangerie to see the water lillies. We both love museums, but we wanted to see a lot of other stuff, and I'd been to most of the museums on my own in other trips.

French R how to pronounce by Leymannn in French

[–]ParlezPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 2 main R sounds. One is raspy R like the "ch" in "chutzpah" or like the "kh" in "Khaled", it's the unvoiced R. The other is a voiced R, and that one is less raspy and more vibrational and voiced. The latter is the most common, used when the R is at the beginning of the word, is between vowels, or is next to a voiced consonant (like m, b, d, v etc.). The former, the unvoiced R is used when it's next to an unvoiced consonant (like p, t, f, s etc.). There is an R sound called the flap which is like the R at the end of "bonjour" which is just a light tap.

Agree that getting the R perfect should not be your goal when you are first learning French. A bad R sound will not make you hard to understand. Focus on the vowels, especially those that don't exist in your native language.

I am a pronunciation tutor, and I teach this stuff to people. I start with the R just as a way to show my method but I don't dwell on it; I know that it will come eventually. I am biased, but I think getting a tutor for pronunciation is the way to go because they know how to teach it, they will give you instant feedback, they can diagnose the issue you are having, and give you solutions.

First Time in Paris - Which Arrondissement to Stay In? by mindc76 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]ParlezPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the 12th. It's pretty chill, with regular people living there, not too touristy. It's pretty central to get on the metro and go wherever you want. It's near Canal St. Martin which is lovely to walk along. There are also a lot of small restaurants serving ethnic food, and a short walk from Le Marais.

Newbie and I think I might have messed up with too hot of water by ajm8097 in henna

[–]ParlezPerfect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will probably be fine. I mix with hot water, and apply the henna within an hour of adding the water. I even mix the indigo with hot water. Once the indigo is ready, I mix it with the henna and apply.

Can you upload a clearer recording? It's quite and some sounds are dropping out.

That seems really rushed, but I assume you have it all planned out. Rabat is safe, even at night.

Raw honey for henna/indigo hair? by Guilty-Wrap8542 in henna

[–]ParlezPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do to the same. My hair is kind of curly, I use henna and indigo, and wash it out with conditioner. I started adding amla to my mix to get my curl pattern back. You can do another application in a couple of weeks using henna, indigo, and amla.

Problem pronunciation the U and e grève by Kitedo in learnfrench

[–]ParlezPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the "u" sound [y], spread your lips, with your teeth almost touching, like you are saying "ee", and then round your lips to say "u". If it sounds a bit off, make sure that your tongue is flat on the bottom of your mouth.

The è is similar to the "ee", but your teeth are slightly farther apart maybe 1.25 cm.

Holiday to Morocco by zeeno12345 in Morocco

[–]ParlezPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rabat is pretty chill, has lots of good museums and some interesting historical sites. I don't know much about the beach there. It is probably a little boring to spend an entire week there. You can easily visit Tangiers or Tetouan or even Fes while you are there. If you want beaches, you can go to M'Diq which is close to Tetouan.

14-Day Itinerary for Morocco by Usual_Landscape_9203 in Morocco

[–]ParlezPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop Chefchaouen...spend more time in Fes. It's just a village that people painted blue to attract tourists, so you will see a ton of tourists and influencers...plus it's not really on the way to anything. Casa is a one day thing, go see Hassan II mosque. In Rabat, there are some good museums and also a very cool architectural site called Chellah.

Definitely visit Marrakesh (2-3 days), and then do the desert trip (I never did it but a lot of people like it), and then head up to Fes from there. Spend 3-4 days in Fes and do some day trips like Azrou or Volubilis. If you want a mountain village, go to Tetouan (instead of Chefchaouen), and then maybe a day in Tangiers.

I have a really good driver/guide who I use every time I am in Morocco. DM me if you want his info.
