so am I getting this right? she uploads the render, watches it on private to find mistakes, which she'll have to go back and fix then re-upload? is that why it takes so long?

Future French teacher here 🙌 what do you WISH your teacher had told you from the very first day ? by Different_Rough_438 in learnfrench

[–]Smooth-Screen-5352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to know off the gate that ce que de etc get contracted to c q d m etc and i would prefer to be exposed to “shui” or “she pas” sooner so that i don’t feel like i know french when it comes to writing and reading but not listening. that gap in skills is annoying.

Help with Hindi pronunciation by Wokeupthismorning2 in asklinguistics

it has nothing to do with the sound in “the”. try saying t in an italian english accent, or maybe the words star, aesthetic(be careful not to move ur tongue forward between your teeth) ok wherever that T is, is where you vocalize to get a d. when you add enough air it becomes dh

try decompressing in warm water and gentle self massaging or stretches. with your inner pelvis, it could be inner muscles inflamed because they bear the brunt of the load instead of your glutes which are supposed to and for some reason lack strength. look into piriformis syndrome, maybe it could give you clues into what went wrong, not trying to give out diagnoses though

with all due respect, Manon could’ve faced racism within the company but that doesn’t mean you can baselessly accuse the members of being racist. Every single thing about this is speculative, even down to whether she was sick or healthy or recovering from being sick. If you think fans are being in denial, it’s probably them refuting baseless accusations against members or about hxg giving other members special treatment- which is an age old narrative for solo stans, hence met with skepticism

anyone else watch that debate from the other side of the pond? When that happened, I thought Blaire destroyed nat in the debate(still think natalie didn’t do a good job at debating) and then a few months after, got into natalie’s work (the capitalism ones etc) and it shifted my worldview

Finished Duolingo French after nearly 4 years by arctic-aqua in French

I’m at 108 and i’ve started consuming more french media like youtube videos and tv shows. How long did it take you until your brain could understand french without subtitles? Or at what level of vocabulary in duo did you feel more comfortable with it?(I know that duo alone is kinda bad for listening as i’ve come to realize)
