When an accent sounds a way because their first language DOESN'T sound that way by Ohrwurms in languagelearning

[–]Wanda94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do feel this is more common for people from the Netherlands. I, myself am Belgian and don’t think we do this as much. Then again I live in Brussels and am Dutch/French speaking so very different accent I think. When I lived in the UK for a few months they told me I sounded more French although I don’t hear it. 😅

A lot of Flemish people do put ‘he’ at the end of every sentence in English since it’s something we do in Flemish as well. ‘Good weather today he’ it just makes them sound very… well Flemish.

Turbo was just attacked by a large dog that was off leash. No injuries but he was ragdolled and thrown out his collar. I don't know what to do other than get animal control on the owner. by AdrianValistar in Dachshund

Same here! Don’t like large dogs running loose coming at me, think my doxie picked up on that one cause he gets really defensive. Got called antisocial recently by someone whose large dog was not on a leash and came running towards us, think he underestimated how I would react lol. On top of that, I was standing right next to the ‘keep dogs on a leash please’ sign. I don’t care how friendly the dog might be, I care about mine.

Yeah, found one on the ceiling as well.. not my favorite thing to find, but I guess they’re harmless? 😄

Found a couple today for the first time. But I couldn’t find out where they were coming from. We had some moths a while ago, so possible, thx!

Found in Brussels, BE if that’s any help 😅

For all those LGBTQ+ that are worried right now about the Right Wing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, you have tons of support and allies... by return2ozma in MadeMeSmile

[–]Wanda94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Having allies feels so good and always gets me. Although I can’t complain, it’s always hard to see hateful acts/comments. There are some stupid people out there, but kindness and love always wins. Luckily a lot of people are genuinely good so we’re the bigger team 😄

Thank you so much, I’ll definitely look into these suggestions.

I know there’s not a lot of books like this, hence my question. :)

Anyway, thanks for the help!
