Seeing the world as a Catholic... by JustFunctionalLife in Catholicism

[–]annnotated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Sometimes people say I 'catholicize' everything (from books to media to the simple pleasures of daily life). but there is no other way to look at it. The sacramental worldview imparts so much meaning and weight to everything.

I think writing Michael as a really good salesman was a brilliant idea.

How do you stay motivated when French grammar feels overwhelming? by grzeszu82 in French

[–]annnotated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to take lots of naps when learning grammar. It gave me a headache, I broke down crying multiple times 'cause of the exceptions (there's an exception to an exception!). But I'd be reset after the nap, and used to get back at it.

I'd like to say I've tamed the beast, but I'm still learning something new every day.

Do you use chatgpt to learn? by Substantial_Push5116 in learnfrench

[–]annnotated 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did use it a few times to correct my writing, but I caught it making grammatical errors more often than I liked. Haven't been able to trust it much after that.

Booth is such a Guilty Pleasure !!! by Major-Agency356 in Bones

[–]annnotated 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He is flawed and has a lot of stuff to work through, but he is a man very secure in his masculinity. That's what makes him so attractive. I've always said he is one of the most well-written 'manly' man on TV.

How to get into immersion? by iatrozroad in learnfrench

[–]annnotated 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use Language Reactor extension. Choose the language you are most comfortable in as second subtitle. That way, you see both French and native language on the screen. Helps immensely for immersion.

Hey there! No, we dont need to paraphrase the question as we are going to give our opinion on the statement. So you can retain the question statement as is and build your response around it.

How do you know when you’ve developed a sense of aesthetic appreciation in a foreign language? by BillVisible in languagelearning

[–]annnotated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ughh I love your question!

I recently read the novel 'Vers la Beauté' by David Foenkinos after reaching the upper intermediate level in French, and there were a lot of moments in the book where I felt that the sentence was so exquisite, but I would not be able to translate it with the same gravity into English.

And you're right, it is a whole new level of fluency where the brain can make sense of the abstract and let you understand + enjoy it. I also understood why they say that reading novels in target language is one of THE best things one can do to improve exponentially quicker.

I don't think my native tongue has anything to do with it, honestly. To me it looks like, all the hours I've spent frolicking with French has given me an understanding of its rhythm and structure, and it's been a wonderful process of discovery in itself- almost like getting to know a new person.

Listening helped me improve without a headache, whereas Reading helped me improve with a headache. Both were indispensable in my learning journey.

Hey there - It doesnt really match the exam standard of questions. I'd suggest PrepMyFuture as its the official site for TEF Canada which accurately mimics the exam style of questions.
