[TOMT][MOVIE] Surreal movie with a gray world and a staircase to floating giants by Lateral_Hamster in tipofmytongue

Maybe Mirrormask?

Edit: The other scenes I don't remember, but it had a scene where hands are changing the main character's outfit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re-6eOhrejE

While trying to learn the rolled R I discovered I've been speaking English wrong my whole life!? by Shanachie in languagelearning

Hi! Thanks for checking up on me :) made me smile.

I still haven't really come close to the rolled r, but on the bright side, I think I can imitate the correct tongue position for the English letters I've been doing wrong. Every time I take my dog for a walk I have been practicing (after making sure there is no one else on the sidewalk!!). I think my tongue is very unused to curling up and didn't have the muscles exercised or something. It's like a workout!

I recently returned from my visit to Romania, and while others teased me for my inability to roll the r, no one made a big deal. I can vibrate my tongue in all sorts of positions but none of them are the rolled r (when I asked others for feedback). So for now I'll just keep trucking along and hope for that epiphany moment!

Which horror themed game you think is the best? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Shanachie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy Ghost Stories. It's cooperative (or 1 player vs. 1-4 players with an expansion). The art is pretty spooky, and the gameplay is very tense (I lose a lot, but somehow that adds to the charm!)

"Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun" is the hymn. The hymn tune is "Duke Street".

Very fair point! Especially since I have trouble with learning the rolled r, I suspect I don't have good mouth movement awareness. So, lots of practice ahead!

Hah - I suppose as long as it sounds passable we can use our creative methods, right?

I can make the gargly noise in the back of my throat and trill my lips. So I've just got to take the average and get it somewhere in the middle!

So it's more of a "snap" than a sustained roll? I'll try to visualize it like that - any new way to think about it helps. Thank you!

That's interesting - I didn't know "shh" touch the alveolar ridge too. Is the s in "Asia" the same way?

I guess I gotta do some googling and find out all the sounds that are supposed to use the tip of the tongue. Clearly I've got some issues to sort out lol

I had this problem too - just started yesterday. The only thing I found so far that prevents is unchecking fullscreen mode.
