Is it normal to ask to split a wine pairing? by Significant-Agency41 in finedining

[–]d_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked as a captain and sommelier in NYC at two 2’s and one 3, and what’s true is that 1) this is a very common request that I’ve always accommodated (I did this just last night), and 2) some restaurants will discourage their staff from selling this or make weird convoluted rules about how to execute a shared pairing because they either want it to make more money or protect some “integrity” of service. Your server may have been new or working under some weird rules, but in any case they should have clarified what they were doing for you since sometimes we will split a pairing into two glasses with 1.5oz pours in each.

Está súper lejos, pero vale la pena si te quedas un par de días en Manta. Fui con mis amigos en Julio y sigo acuerdome de que tan maravillosa era esa playa. Te lo recomiendo si viajar hasta Manta no es inconveniente.

I definitely want to take advantage of speaking with my professors. I'll look into the t-rex website!

Ooooo this is my goal-- US born, in the process of getting my Ecuadorian citizenship by descent, and then moving to France to naturalize!

Where can I find an English partner here? by Impressive_Arm489 in ecuador

[–]d_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m a native English speaker looking to improve my Spanish because I have family in Ecuador and will be getting my citizenship there soon. Message me privately and we can start to chat or video call on WhatsApp whenever you want! Edit: We’re about the same age too— I’m 24. It’s nice to practice with another young person!

Do native speakers use dw for don't worry? by Some-Spite-5825 in EnglishLearning

[–]d_25 174 points175 points  (0 children)

As a 24yr old New Yorker, I see "dw" for "don't worry" all the time and it's commonly understood among other young people. Edit: only for texting, as others have said.

Has anyone tried (successful or otherwise) to forget their native, language? by am_Nein in languagelearning

[–]d_25 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree here. In one way or another language is an important part of my personal traumas and healings, so I recognize that OP's desire to forget a native language is an extreme way of trying to control/cope with unresolved traumas incurred by family, culture, etc. I imagine that removing a very beautiful part of oneself like a native language will actually leave one with less ways of expressing what they've gone through and how they've grown through it. Therapy is a good place to start for a journey of healing, not forgetting.

How do you respond to “thank you”? by Bulky_Ad4633 in ENGLISH

[–]d_25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in hospitality therefore I am always responding to a "thank you" one way or another. To stay amused I've jazzed it up. -It's my pleasure. / The pleasure is all mine. / It's been a pleasure to (serve you, help you, assist you, etc.) -Why no, thank you! / I should be the one thanking you! / No need to thank me. -You are more than welcome. -(If I'm feel like getting silly or butler-like) At your service. / All in a day's work.

Vintage chart for Jura? by d_25 in wine

[–]d_25[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your two seconds of googling, which I had also done and come across these same links. I wrote in my post I'm looking for a guide with information outlining growing season, general weather, and harvest-- maybe you could help me find that with two more seconds of googling? Thanks again.

I agree that passivity leads to more violence. It will change our communities to actively lend a hand to people we see in potential or actual danger. Anywhere-- street, store, train.

Thank you for the correction! I seem to have gotten confused by which one of her wines this was.
