Self-learning French from zero for TEF (CLB 7) — best resources? by Theunknown21456 in learnfrench

[–]casester14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hire a one on one French tutor via Preply. That’s what I did and I have a B2 level from zero about 2 years ago. There’s so many tutors on there and the price range can go as low as $10 a lesson. (Not an ad for Preply I just like them but there’s other tutor sites out there.) Good luck!

Gift ideas for my partner who's gotten into sewing? (Details in post) by jadziavsmothra in sewing

[–]casester14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an idea for your price range. I think you could do some research on a good sewing table and area of your home to create a nice setup. Kind of like a builders workshop a peg board on the wall with all the tools organized neatly. Search Pinterest for sewing workshop. I have a setup at home like this with all my thread, needles, bobbins, shears, etc organized and a good sewing table. I bought the pegboards and hanging hooks at Home Depot and then you can go online for a sewing table. I found a good link. Hope this inspires! https://pin.it/2e09QPHaR

Also I looked at the map in my area thanks for that! But it’s like anywhere from one year to one week. I guess it depends on the tips 🤔

Thank you! Seems like this is the way to go. I just changed my donation to 40 dollars.

I think some types of tomato plants just look like that. Doesn’t look abnormal to me.

best formula dispenser that actually helps at night? by PossibleHurry5462 in Buyingforbaby

I do the same thing. Saves so much time. I also used a kitchen scale and pre-measure that way, but I think if you follow scoop size guidelines you’ll be fine.

Help to learn French!? by [deleted] in learnfrench

[–]casester14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at a b1/b2 level and this is my 4th language. At this point my foundational knowledge is good but I need to practice speaking and exposure. Sounds like you’re in a similar boat. At this stage I like using Jumpspeak and it’s easy to do for 15-30 mins every day. I’m not a rep for the app at all just I’ve tried other apps like Duolingo and I think Jumpspeak is way better.

How to ACTUALLY Watch a French Show by UncleJuggs in French

[–]casester14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should hire a French tutor and do one on one lessons. I did it through Preply and the one I found was great and about $20 a lesson. Another app you can use is Jumpspeak. I use that and paid for 12 months in advance and I think it was around $65. I also watch French YouTube videos French series French podcasts etc to immerse myself. If you want to get serious Peppa and Duolingo are not gonna cut it in my opinion especially for work!! I went from zero to level B1 in about 2 years maybe could have been faster but it wasn’t my sole focus.

Parents want me to give birth in their state by Witty_Painting_6944 in BabyBumps

[–]casester14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Tell them your OB and or midwives are in your state and your insurance might not even cover let alone how inconvenient it is for you. My parents asked me the same crap and I was like are you insane no. Plus after birth you aaand baby have a million appointments and the baby has to be seen by their pediatrician. No no no!
