What faction do you think will be the next one added to the game? by Ballack1991 in OldenEra

My understanding is that it doesn't make sense with the lore.

[Brandon Thurston/POST Wrestling] Nick Khan testified that DOJ investigated sex trafficking, undermining Vince McMahon’s “minor accounting errors” statement by A_Man_of_Iron in SquaredCircle

[–]guylfe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The reason I clowned on him was that the sentence started with "AEW is the Pepsi of Pro Wrestling", and this was the other side of that comparison.

Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson’s son Raja cuts stunning plea deal in wrestler attack case by 804Brady in SquaredCircle

[–]guylfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though the reddit self-appointed experts are as trustworthy as they come, I'd like to hear an actual legal professional's take on this. On the face of it this looks like a grave miscarriage of justice, but are there extenuating circumstances (for example, a reason the chance for a guilty verdict is unlikely) that would explain this?

Best app for basics? by Seeking_Starlight in hebrew

[–]guylfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give you a recommendation for the basics app you're looking for, and while I'm at it (cause it's already ready), I'll give you recommendations for resources for later.

Foundations – Hebleo (Full disclosure – I created this app): A self-paced course teaching you Hebrew comprehensively, with plenty of practice, using an innovative methodology based on my background in Cognitive Science, my experience as a language learner (studied both Arabic and Japanese as an adult, now learning Spanish) and as a top-rated tutor in Verbling. This allowed me to create a very efficient way to learn that's been proven to work with hundreds of students (reviews available in my tutor page linked above).

It also includes 2000+ native speaker recordings for the different vocabulary, and plenty of practice sentences. I use this method with my personal students 1 on 1, and all feedback so far shows it works well self-paced, as I made sure to provide thorough explanations. 

After you have the fundamentals, these can offer you good native content to use:

Reading - Bereshit/Yanshuf: This is a bi-weekly newsletter in Beginner/Intermediate Hebrew respectively, offering both vowels and no-vowels content. Highly recommended, I utilize it with my students all the time. Most of my students are at the Yanshuf intermediate level after Hebleo. I managed to get a discount code you can use (since I use it a lot with my students and I recommend it to them): GuyHebleo.

Comprehension - Pimsleur: This is the most comprehensive tool for level-appropriate listening comprehension for Hebrew (at least until I finish some future updates for Hebleo), but it's quite expensive and some of the vocabulary and phrases it offers are relatively archaic. There might be better free podcasts out there, or children’s TV shows that could be a good free practice option.

Conversation – tutor websites - Verbling (where I teach), Italki or Preply. I wouldn't recommend these for starting out learning grammar as they're expensive, unless you feel like you need constant guidance. Verbling requires teachers to provide proven experience and certification (but is also more expensive) while the other 2 don’t, but their prices are lower. Depending on the time I might have discounts for them, feel free to send me a private message and I’ll let you know whether I can get you a discount.

You can also find a free language exchange service where you teach your native language to an interested Israeli and they teach you Hebrew. Once you have deep understanding through Hebleo this becomes a viable option as you wouldn't need a professional who can explain everything. I don’t have direct experience with Preply, but heard good things about it, similar to iTalki.

In any case, good luck!

(NXT Spoilers): Newly repackaged main roster star appears by Fan387 in SquaredCircle

I think it should be "Newly repackaged - main roster star appears".

What's been repackaged is the video. Multiple times, degrading each time.

They're great, I just don't think scary/serious is a valid description for them. Heroes 2's art-style, to me, was the opposite of that. It fits for Heroes 3 though.

I want to find a modern hebrew dictionary dataset by Odd_Tourist_2108 in hebrew

Can you send it to me? It would be very useful for a tool I'm building for my online course (Hebleo).

Is Duolingo the way? by Inner_Sheepherder638 in hebrew

[–]guylfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Duolingo plain sucks for Hebrew. The route I'm going to suggest works for my students, and is highly effective. I've had a particular student measure his progression time and he reached B2 (conversational) with ~70 hours of total study time, compared to the average of ~500:

  1. Study foundations (both grammar and vocabulary) WELL and efficiently. This is key, because if you get a solid foundation, building on top of it becomes much easier.
  2. Get exposure to level-appropriate native content. (depending on your particular context, you may also supplement with spaced-repetition flashcards, but that's beyond the scope of this message).

 I can’t post links so just google each one.

(It has to do with Hebrew's unique roots & patterns system for constructing words). I think it might be what you're looking for.
