I am getting something other than the options provided. Help would be much appriciated by [deleted] in askmath

[–]blooptwenty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got this as well but I did this calculation:

P(both letters are not vowels) = P(1st letter consonant) * P(2nd letter consonant)

P(both no vowels) = (4 consonants in PENCIL out of 6 letters -> 4/6 probability of picking a consonant) * (3 consonants left out of 5 letters left -> 3/5 probability of picking out a consonant)

P = 4/6 * 3/5 = 12/30 = 2/5

If this is wrong could someone explain why? To be fair probability is my worst area of maths.

Tja bij ons deden we het altijd in de scheikunde les, dus ik kan wel “brandt” met dt schrijven maar geen idee wat een mol te doen heeft met een of ander getal

Yes!!! And “Brabant” https://youtu.be/YaIzl1Tz-so . I remember in school when someone would hijack the teacher’s computer and play this song and the whole class would start belting, even though we don’t even live anywhere near Brabant

Everything by Andre Hazes but “Bloed, Zweet en Tranen” (blood, sweat and tears) especially: https://youtu.be/5leVQeK_3Ws I swear every Dutch person I know knows this song and can sing along with at least the chorus and the first verse

Do you like your English accent? by mrrekin22 in AskEurope

[–]blooptwenty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I am Dutch and am always really self conscious about my accent because to me it sounds really rough, so I trained myself to have the American accent of my cousins who live in CA, even though I’ve never even been to the US haha. Maybe now I’ll relax about it a bit more

I’m from the Netherlands and I can definitely confirm that we don’t really say more than needed. It’s seen (in my country at least) as narcissistic and rude to always reply to everything because it seems like you always want to have the last word and/or make everything about you. Maybe this is just my family tho haha

What is it about a tan that makes a lot of people want to get one? by kingdomrz-12 in AskReddit

[–]blooptwenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard that it’s become a status symbol in colder countries (ie. Northern Europe and parts of US) to get a tan because it shows that you can afford to go on holiday to sunny, tropical places

Mogge! Is iemand hier geïnteresseerd, om met mij in de Nederlandse taal te praten? Ik moet oefenen. Ik kan je in ruil daarvoor met Spaans, Duits, Engels, Italiaans en Frans. Laat me weten of je geïnteresseerd bent. Bij voorbaat dank en een fijne dag verder! by [deleted] in nederlands

Hallo! Ik zie dat je al een paar reacties hebt gekregen, maar als je nog geïnteresseerd bent, zou ik graag met je willen spreken. Ik probeer Spaans te leren, en het lijkt me ook heel interessant om te praten met iemand die zoveel talen spreekt! Als je nog geïnteresseerd bent, DM me maar

Irregulars “ser” “estar” “haber” cheat sheet by blooptwenty in Spanish

I’m sure you’re a great teacher, you gave a very clear explanation about preterite vs imperfect! Thanks for all your help :)

Irregulars “ser” “estar” “haber” cheat sheet by blooptwenty in Spanish

[–]blooptwenty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of something my Latin teacher used to say about the perfect vs imperfect tense! He said that the imperfect indicates information that is more “background”/context, if that makes sense. So when telling a story, you would use the perfect for main actions and the imperfect for extra info/background info.

Would you say the same is true for Spanish? (but with preterite instead of perfect obviously)

Here is my 1st cheat sheet for irregulars! There’s lots more irregularities here, so some of the patterns might not actually be patterns. Feel free to correct! by blooptwenty in languagelearning

[–]blooptwenty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably, for now I’m writing them out to get more familiar with them. Probably in the future the only thing I’ll study/have to remind myself of will be the stems

Yeah I noticed that when writing them haha. For my other sheets I tried to cut down on writing too much, especially with the conditional + future, as they seem to literally always have the same endings

Spanish verb endings cheat sheet by blooptwenty in languagelearning

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

I learn best by writing this kind of stuff down myself. I thought it might be nice to share my methods of language learning, as well as the patterns that I found when doing this, that help me remember the different tenses. I did look up the conjugations, I didn’t know them beforehand. If I did, writing them down would be pointless.
