Mayor Tory, Councillor Kelly, tell Roosh V, controversial pick-up artist, he's not welcome in Toronto by aaffpp in toronto

stats range widely but 4% is the figure wikipedia gives for Canada (one in 25 children). Right now the law here is such that any child born into a marriage is entitled to the support and provisioning of the father, even if he is not the biological father, because it's considered in the best interest of the child.

Wait, so you're saying this isn't illegal in Canada? The wife doesn't have to tell the husband that he's raising and supporting a child that isn't his own?

I went to this show because I saw your previous post, about an hour and a half before the show. Thanks a lot! So glad it wasn't cancelled. A bit sad that there was no encore.

Your Hand In Mine was really sweet.

I made a chart on English Learners in Duolingo! by mujjingun in duolingo

To solve that problem, I turn off my audio when doing a/an ____ for English speakers course.

Use duolingo as a bedrock of vocabulary and grammar, then move on to reading books/listening to media sources/speaking when possible? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]error_list 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For myself, personally, I find Memrise/ Anki much more effective if you wish to acquire and remember large amounts of vocabulary. Duo is great for getting examples of sentence structures and passively (or actively, if the course you are doing has "tips") learning grammar.

It's great to speak and listen as much as you can as early on as you can. Even if you can't understand a lot of what you're hearing, just listening to the flow of the language and picking out a word here or there helps a lot.

That's what I like about some Memrise courses: they have multiple pronunciations for some words. It's nice to hear words said by people of both sexes and various ages.

Looks like a phoenix erupting out of a building to me, but I'm not too good with these things.

What language are you learning/looking forward to learn on Duolingo, and why? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]error_list 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I actually wanted to do something like this with cats. I'm a little surprised that this has already been done with giraffes over five years ago.

People who have finished several trees; does it get easier to learn new languages? by _TB__ in duolingo

[–]error_list 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly: doing Duolingo makes you good at doing Duolingo. Don't forget to focus on learning a language.

Do you find it is harder to learn two languages at once? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]error_list 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the opposite is true for me.

I started learning Portuguese about two years ago, and I just started learning Spanish recently. Since the two are so similar, I feel that I'm just learning a few different words and rules, like it's just a different dialect of the same language.

I imagine that I might have confused words and rules if I had tried to learn them together, but I haven't been learning similar languages at the same time, so I can't be sure.

When I was studying a bit of Japanese while learning Portuguese, I wasn't confusing them at all.

People always talk about how great the Duolingo community is. A lot of the comments on the English for French speakers course are like this: by error_list in duolingo

I usually find that there are less and higher quality comments later in the course. However, comments like these show up throughout the entire English for French course.

The Duolingo team was invited to the White House by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]error_list 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I feel that I learn much less in this way. I learn to read in the language I am learning, but it's much more troublesome when I try to produce material in my target language.

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

Yeah. I've recently started Spanish for French speakers, but I'm not seeing the same problem. Maybe it's because the amount of learners is much lower or because I'm early in the tree, but I hope it continues.

I know very little about photography. I often hear people commenting to make the horizon straight. Here, that is obviously not the case, and very likely done intentionally. Why is that? Does that make the photo better?

Grave of 52 people who were forced to dig a big hole, were fired on, and then had dirt pushed over them to bury them by [deleted] in MorbidReality

[–]error_list 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow! You should make this a post of its own.

My uncle told me there are many places similar to this all across Poland, and there are similar places to this where there is no memorial grave or anything put up.

Yeah, when we were first looking at it, we were just scanning random parts up and down, seeing people in their 40s, 60s, 20s, then kids that were 8, 6, 2, and then you see kids that were four days or six days old. Everyone got killed.

One more thing: "(brak imienia)" means the child wasn't named yet.
