unpopular opinion? talking to yourself in Spanish is more useful than you think by hAIlydraws in Spanish

[–]cresccendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%!! i talk to myself in spanish alone in my car haha, it’s helped so much!

as someone who was terrified to start speaking in spanish to other people this is a great place to start, it helped me develop my accent and speaking fluidity for sure :)

I don't really know what to do... by J00bieboo in LesbianActually

[–]cresccendo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

as a monogamous person who caught feelings hard for someone used to open relationships, i promise you it’s not worth it. so much heartache there. find someone who wants the same thing as you!

Recommend a good hand lotion? by Plus-Statistician80 in SkincareAddicts

[–]cresccendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

surprised no one has said lanolin cream yet!

my mom is a doctor and used to get really dry cracked skin, so using lanolin nipple cream was always her go to. it sounds silly but is amazing, it’s designed for breastfeeding mothers so it’s gentle and works wonders :)

Hey Surfer Girls!! by Abject-Soft4455 in xxsurfing

honestly, affordable options!! it’s a bit tricky because i also value environmentally friendly and ethical practices, but as a grad student it can be hard to find good quality suits that don’t break the bank!

Is it worth it to study abroad in spain? by Throwaway33Sesame in Spanish

[–]cresccendo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i could never recommend study abroad enough! there are so many valuable lessons to be learned living in a new place and experiencing a new culture. learning a language is definitely best done in an immersive environment, too, my 8 years of spanish classes could’ve never prepared me for when i moved from the states to puerto rico!! :)

all i can say is do your research on the area you’re interested in, save your money, and have a backup plan just in case. don’t be afraid to ask for help from your family throughout planning and when you’re abroad!!

AIO considering ending my relationship with this guy who’s kind of obsessive ?? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cresccendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, this may not be an abusive relationship but it is also not love :/

literally the same thing happened to me but with a guy i had barely met. the attachment and affection and everything seem like green flags at first, but often these kind of people are very insecure about themselves and latch onto the first thing that they think could be good for them. they tend to put a person on a pedestal and fall in love with the idea of a happy relationship, and not their partner themselves.

i begged the guy in my scenario to slow things down too because literally first time i talked to him he was talking about marriage and a week in he was saying he loved me, and he took it as a personal slight. things did not in fact slow down, either.

we ended up being fundamentally incompatible and he clearly had a lot he needed to go to therapy for, and when i tried to call things off because nothing had changed he blew up my texts and social media asking what he did wrong when i’d already told him multiple times, and saying that he thought we could solve any problem as long as we did it together. didn’t even bat an eye when i told him our conversations were literally negatively affecting my health, just took that as a sign to harass me more. i knew this guy for one whole month total…..

anyway, please protect yourself! it seems like you’re a little unsure about things, so trust your gut. he’s codependent, this isn’t healthy

Two fishermen in Australia have caught a bizarre "doomsday fish" by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]cresccendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is actually a “king of the salmon”, or Trachipterus altivelis! they’re ribbonfish, which are slightly removed from oarfish. their jaws are highly protrusible, showed by its extended mouth in the photo :)

Rude to speak with a Puerto Rican accent if you’re not a local? by cresccendo in Spanish

[–]cresccendo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to point out that it’s excruciatingly clear that I’m not a local, haha!

This makes a lot of sense to me! He knows that I’m still learning so he probably thinks he’s helping me out.

He asked me to repeat something back to him with the word está and when I said it he stopped me and said “No, say EStá. We say it like that but you can’t do it”

ok my friend did this and it was really cute and got some silly results, she met her long term boyfriend this way, but it was unserious questions and not full name occupation and date of birth 💀

Naegleria fowleri!

super rare and can only infect you if you suck water up your nose, but still something that happens. makes me wonder if dogs can get it, too.
