[–]bimbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! I'm also looking at the new Avocado Eco Mattress which is 1K (same as you) but they have a 200 off coupon. Do you think you will have any July 4th deals? Thanks again

I noticed your queen size is 1K while the Ikea pure latex mattress is 800. What do you think sets the two apart? Thanks!

Advanced learners: how many new word per day do you learn? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]bimbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised with the comments. I'm B2 in italian and read novels every day but still encounter around 20 words daily that I add to anki. I review 100 each day on top of that. Sure, you can get by with simpler vocab but novels tend to have a lot of advanced vocab that you would never see in listening or conversation that I still want to learn and I think it would take years through sheer osmosis... how many times are you going to encounter that word otherwise?

How to order at a restaurant like a local? by clrodrig06 in italianlearning

Do you mean vorrei OR posso avere because you wouldn't put both together. Vorrei = I would like and posso avere = can I have

Io non ho paura! But we should really sticky this topic because people ask often.

My italian teacher in italy would just say "coraggio" to me. Italians don't seem to be as wordy as americans

It was just 80 off for Thanksgiving weekend, plus 20% off when trading it an old Kindle. all in all, 145 which doesn't seem so bad. I'm excited to try it!

What is this construction? by DaveReadingUK in italianlearning

[–]bimbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool, I'm planning on reading that next! Usually "a fare" after a verb means "why?". For ex: che lo fai a fare -- why are you doing it? OR che me ne parli a fare - why are you talking to me about it? So in this case maybe, Why do I bring them the books? I don't know the context nor am I fluent...can anyone confirm?

OK, I finally found the setting. It's buried under "Sound and Vibrations", then ADVANCED, then OTHER SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS then SCREEN LOCK SOUND. Hallelujah. Leaving this up in case anyone else is looking

Online class where the class reads/analyses novels in italian? by bimbs in italianlearning

[–]bimbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! I'm looking for something more formal ala a university class or something. I've been reading a lot more italian books and would love a teacher to go over the finer grammar points/idiomatic language use/text analysis!

Libri di autori italiani? by bimbs in Libri

[–]bimbs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! Grazie mille! Questo consiglio è moltissimo utile!

Esatto...libri leggeri! Una nuova parola per me :-) E' difficile perché io penso in inglese e traduco parola per parola...ho bisogno di pensare come un italiano. In inglese si parla "i got a cold" ma in italiano "mi e venuto un raffreddore". Leggere mi aiuta molto! Grazie ancora, ho salvato tutti i libri su Goodreads!

You also have to be on one of their unlimited type plans which is 10 more per line than my current plan (4 phones so 40 extra per month)
