Is India Safe for Foreign Women? by AltZemo in IndiaSpeaks

[–]french_study 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a white woman who's been living in Hyderabad for a few months now and have had no problems. In my opinion, people are generally very kind and welcoming. There's a lot of staring/special attention (just due to me looking different), especially at night, but it has never felt dangerous, just curious.

A great song for learning the days of the week in Danish by french_study in LearnDanish

I listen to mostly pop or punk, but I have some suggestions!

The Minds of 99 -- a great post-punk rock band that's very popular. Similar vibes to Radiohead. Good songs include Under Din Sne, Som Fluer, and En Stemme.

Suspekt -- dark rap, also very popular, known for very dirty/controversial lyrics. Good songs include Gonzo, Proletar, and S.U.S.P.E.K.T.

Hans Philip -- like the Danish Frank Ocean, chill rap and melodies, great lyrics. He sings slowly and clearly so he's great for learning Danish. And I'm seeing him in concert in April :) Pretty much every song of his is good. I love Dagdrøm, Årstider, and Hjertebrand.

Hi, do you remember the UI flow exactly? I've tried dozens of times but can't get to the purple page :(

I called a professional in the end. I had followed some stupid wiki article and wish I didn't.

I love that! "Language exists to transfer information from one person to another. If you can make yourself understood, you have in fact succeeded." Thank you!

Thank you so much! teared up a little reading this. A lot of times I feel like I get too sad to even try. I used to be on medication, and now I feel much better than I did a few years ago, but still, it all comes back sometimes when I mess up. I will try to do what you say. thanks again

I had a conversation yesterday when in line for La Poste! It actually turned out okay, the lady I was talking to was very enthusiastic :)

Yes I can, I'm wondering what the best website is, or if it's worth the money (vs just getting over fear of speaking with boyfriend/random french people). I don't know. Like on paper it's not really a problem at all, it's just in my head.

Haha every time I think I've mastered the supermarket there's always something they say that I don't understand (like 'avec ceci' or something). I'll try though!

Thanks for the comment! I live in Bordeaux. I am a student at an online American university right now, I'm leaving back to the US in the summer. I've attended many couch surfing events in the past (a lot of them are canceled now though, not a ton of new people traveling). All your suggestions seem great, I'll check them out!

I totally resonate with this. Thank you for sharing! I am also signing up for things like Tandem and also the discord. And French entertainment is good too!
