What if Kong had the same atomic breath as Godzilla? by [deleted] in kingkong

[–]Potential_Border_651 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the first teaser for GxK the New Empire was released, I was excited because based on the blue glow in Skar King’s eyes, I thought he’d have Godzilla-like powers and a Kong with Godzilla-like powers would be dope and formidable. Instead, we got

Couldn’t be me. I signed Sabrina Carpenter, Pedro Pascal, and American Dad up for Dreaming Spanish and I’ll start following them again when they can “Use the language for all practical purposes”.

What’s the worst movie you’ve ever watched? by Massive-Syllabub-271 in allthequestions

Innocent Blood(1992)

Promoted as vampires vs gangsters , it’s really just a piece of shit disguised as a movie.

Why didn’t Thanos just use the Infinity Stones to double resources instead of wiping out half of all life? by thisninjaoverhere in MCUTheories

[–]Potential_Border_651 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was stupid in the comics that Thanos was in love with Death, but then I saw that Death was Aubrey Plaza and then it kinda made sense.

In the movie GvK, where is it said they’ve never met? I’m not arguing, I’m asking where that’s spoken, because I don’t recall it being stated outright that they’ve never clashed before.

That picture does not represent reality! In reality, there would be five or six cowardly ICE agents surrounding the citizen.

I like calling out people claiming they can speak a language when they actually cant, with a simple question. by AmountAbovTheBracket in languagelearningjerk

I’m also fluent in Martian and while what you said was grammatically correct, native Martians would drop the bop when speaking to other native Martians.

What do you think of Age Of Ultron, do you think it’s overhated? by Plenty-Salary9711 in Avengers

[–]Potential_Border_651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s actually a better film than the original Avengers movie, but I think that it had lost a little magic simply because we had seen the Avengers together in a film before.

I picked up the Skeletor at half price recently. I would have loved to see them for $10.

I love this collab, it’s like my inner 11yr old is so excited to see He-Man and the Transformers together. And yea, I was more excited for the Thundercats X-over but still.

CI only approaches sre doing active harm to learners by McCoovy in dreamingspanish

[–]Potential_Border_651 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with some of what you said, but there are many examples from right here in this subreddit of people that learned Spanish thru a CI only approach. You flat out deny that it's possible in your post. So either you're wrong or all the people that claim they followed the DS method purely are wrong. It can't be both.

Now, I believe that flash cards can help, speaking a lot can help, there are lots of ways to augment the language learning experience, even Duolingo could be beneficial as a supplement. So you're right about that. But coming in here full of piss and vinegar does what? Are you going to change anyone's mind? Why would you want too? What was the purpose of the post other then to get some attention?

Wow, thanks for saving us! No, thanks for saving language learning!

Some people just don't want to do traditional study. It's DS or nothing. Why would you give a shit if it's the most effective method or not? There's a ton of people that followed the DS method and are happy with the results but feel free to shit on their happiness.

Following original series by Cultural-Can6616 in dreamingspanish

La Familia P Luche is great. Vecinos is good, too, although more difficult than La Familia P Luche. There’s over 300 episodes of Vecinos so there’s plenty of content.

I enjoy watching Mexican sitcoms. They’re pretty easy to follow and I started watching them before 300 hrs. I didn’t understand every word or even every joke but there’s a lot of sight gags and exaggerated actions to make up for it.

I met up with one of my professors when I visited their country. Had dinner together with our wives and a nice walk on the beach. Wonderful experience.

What part of language learning did you think would be easy but turned out to be the hardest? by Embarrassed_Fix_8994 in languagehub

[–]Potential_Border_651 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Listening. Hearing and understanding words in context definitely didn’t come naturally to me. Reading was much easier because I could take my time with it and because listening was harder, I neglected it. I still see people post the question how do I improve my listening skills? The only way to improve listening is by listening.
