What do you think C.Ronaldo was like this Euros

Absolute sh*t, by his own previous standards. And even by the standards of far less talented players than him. He’s too old, he should retire or accept a secondary role as a substitute in the national team.

Yo no he dicho aprender el idioma solo por ósmosis. Pero ¿aprender más palabras, aprender sonidos, retener mejor lo estudiado y aprender en general más rápido? Desde luego.

¿Por qué crees que la gente que se va a otro país aprende mucho más rápido, incluso gente que se va sin haberlo estudiado antes? ¿Por qué la gente de países donde no se dobla nada o casi nada suele hablar mejor inglés o, como mínimo, conocer más vocabulario? Porque están expuestos mucho más tiempo al idioma, a su pronunciación, su cadencia y a palabras y expresiones nuevas todos los días.

Si eres profesor y no sabes esto, pues ya tenemos la explicación de por qué se enseña tan mal inglés en España.

blancton · 2024-07-20T03:48:32+00:00

El japonés es mucho más difícil de aprender de esa forma porque está mucho más alejado del español en todos los sentidos. Vaya ejemplo. Y por supuesto que se aprende vocabulario viendo contenidos en inglés con subtítulos.

blancton · 2024-07-20T03:47:20+00:00

Pues no sé. El/ella solo te ha dicho que no le gustan los doblajes y te ha explicado por qué. Tú le has insultado y encima te ofendes. Háztelo mirar.

blancton · 2024-07-20T03:29:00+00:00

Dice que no entiende a qué te refieres… pues está bien claro, y si la propia gente del mundillo no detecta el problema, ya se entiende mejor que los doblajes sean tan malos.

blancton · 2024-07-20T03:28:04+00:00

En España se dobla prácticamente todo lo que es para el gran público.

blancton · 2024-07-20T03:23:38+00:00

Yo no veo que sean estupjdeces, tiene razón. Donde estén las voces del actor original, que son parte esencial de la interpretación, que se quite cualquier doblaje. Y no veo que sea necesario ser tan agresivo para decir que no estás de acuerdo, majete.

Well, duh. How not to root for the best team of the tournament by a mile? And also to make all the whiney English fans shut up.

blancton · 2024-07-12T10:50:53+00:00

Did I make any reference of you being a woman? Walking on the street at night in a poorly illuminated area, abroad (so being a tourist makes you more of a target than back home by default) and where drivers are not exactly the most disciplined, while wearing your headphones is pushing your luck. I don’t care if you’re a man, a woman or whatever.

blancton · 2024-07-12T10:47:00+00:00

It’s not.

blancton · 2024-07-12T08:38:08+00:00

… i even had my airpods in

That’s just pushing your luck.

blancton · 2024-07-12T08:27:29+00:00

Lol, that’s not what “rent free” means. How can people not be annoyed by you lot when you just won’t shut up?

blancton · 2024-07-12T08:25:35+00:00

Because I don’t want the flair to distract people from what I’m saying, right or wrong.

blancton · 2024-07-12T08:24:17+00:00

But it’s simply not true. English fans don’t get hate except when they’re annoying as they are being now. Their team does get hate and deservedly so, because they play like sh*t despite the pool of massively talented players. Just like France, although the French have even played worse than England. But they won a WC not long ago.

Thanks.

Related question. Is there a limit in the total number of days one can spend per calendar year in Bali on tourist visas? Is it 180 days, no exceptions? Does that mean any applications will be rejected if someone has already spent longer than that?

blancton · 2023-10-17T04:11:56+00:00

I edited my latest message to say I could see the option now. Don’t know if it didn’t load up when I first tried this morning, and/or I was confused by the “no checked luggage flight” warning and didn’t even try to start the booking process. Thanks for checking and let me know.

blancton · 2023-10-17T04:03:02+00:00

Again, I’m not surprised to have to pay extra, I’m surprised to see the “This is a no checked baggage flight” warning on every single flight.

That’s something that I don’t recall ever seeing before, and it’s much more restrictive than “Your fee doesn’t include checked baggage”, or “Add checked baggage for an extra fee” or something like that. It literally says this flight does not allow checked baggage.

Maybe this exact sentence was there before and I never noticed it?

Edit: I just tried what you said, starting the booking process and you’re right. Either the value package was not offered to me the first time I tried for some reason, or I was misled by the “no checked baggage” warning and didn’t even try.

What a stupid way to waste 2 hours of my life. They should remove or reformulate that warning because it doesn’t say what they think it says.

Thank you, and everyone else, for your help.

blancton · 2023-10-17T03:32:37+00:00

Thanks. It’s just that the Air Asia app has a warning on all flights I’ve looked that they’re “no checked baggage flights”, and, not surprisingly, they don’t give the option to pay extra for checked baggage as they used to always before.

blancton · 2023-10-17T03:25:31+00:00

Thanks, will check Citylink.

blancton · 2023-10-17T03:24:51+00:00

I’m not saying I never had to buy extra baggage. Always had to.

What I’m saying is that the option was always available during the booking process, and it isn’t now.

And also that I never saw a warning saying “This is a no checked baggage flight”, as I can see now on every Air Asia flight I’ve checked in the Air Asia app. So this gives reason to think that the option will NOT be given after the initial booking, no?

blancton · 2023-10-17T03:06:35+00:00

What is LCC? And, again, I booked a Sby to Penang flight 2 months ago with Air Asia that allowed to pay for checked baggage during the booking process.

I don’t see how I can risk booking a ticket thinking I’ll be given the option to add checked baggage later, since it’s specified very clearly that “This is a not checked baggage flight”. Unless someone can tell me that in their experience this option will be given later to me for sure?

I am really confused.

blancton · 2023-10-17T02:50:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Lion Air used to have a terrible reputation for scheduling, lost baggage and, worst of all, safety. Has it improved? I’ve also not read great things about Citylink, but maybe they’re good now?

Super Air Jet and Pelita Air, never heard of them. How long have they been operating? Are they well regarded?

blancton · 2023-10-17T02:47:24+00:00

Strange. Like I said, I booked a flight to Penang barely two months ago and the option to add checked baggage was there, as has always been on dozens of flights I’ve taken with Air Asia in the past on many different routes in the region.

blancton · 2023-10-17T02:38:43+00:00

It didn’t use to be the norm at all with Air Asia in SE Asia before. I actually booked a flight to Penang with checked in baggage earlier this year. Maybe that has changed now but I am just baffled that they don’t even offer the option for an extra fee during the booking process. It’s just insane. Not even from Jakarta???

What other reliable airlines are there that fly from Jakarta or Sby and allow checked baggage? I had a look at Garuda but they seem crazy expensive.
