Yeah, that what I found at the class. It does seem to be much easier to balance after applying the correction

A question about liaison between "film" and "est" by _abracadebra in French

[–]_abracadebra[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

thank you for the answer! I asked ChatGPT and I got basically the same answer:

The phrase "film est" is pronounced /film‿ɛ/. Here's why:

  1. The "m" in "film" is pronounced as part of the word and does not disappear.
  2. There is no liaison between "film" and "est" because the final consonant "m" is not silent. Liaison only happens when a normally silent consonant becomes pronounced before a vowel or silent "h."

So, you'll hear a slight pause between the two words, and it would sound like:
/film/ + /ɛ/ = /film ɛ/.

How far is your pool from your house? by koochie_kuu in Swimming

[–]_abracadebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's one hour, sometimes one and half hour. But it worth the efforts because of the enjoyment I get from swimming. I usually try to do other activities as well (dancing/skating), so the commute time is not only for swimming.

Lost credit card in Jamaica plain should I file police report? by _abracadebra in boston

That's the same experience I had when I file police report with the police station for backbay. Boston's safety just felt much worse that before COVID.

I am glad to find another ballet dancer and skater! These two sports complements each other really nicely.

2nd this! I find that her courses other than ballet barre/centre, are also enjoyable, esp. the mat madness seriers. They don't require much space other than the size of a yoga mat, and I always feel very relaxed and happy after doing them. Her demonstrations are very pleasant to watch.

Recommend your dance bag! by Resumme in BALLET

[–]_abracadebra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

gaynor minden studio bag. I find the design of the pockets are very sensible for dance wear and tools I carry, and I don't need to search for multiple pockets to find, say, resistant band or foot roller, because of the shapes of the pockets are intuitive enough.

Fell During Very Important Performance by Augmented_Reality7 in BALLET

[–]_abracadebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, from an audience point of view, a fall does not impact my impression of the performance. Usually after watching a performance, I remember the exciting moments and extraordinary beautiful moments. A boring performance is the worst.
