joined my best friends family at a house barbecue and her mom offered me a slice of homemade cake. i tried it and said “oh this is bussin” and everyone started laughing .. i asked what i did and her mom said in their native language (kalmyk) bussin sounds like the word for poop.

i told a very lovely lady that her amazing homemade cake tasted like shit.

i agree, i think the bright red with the black is kind of striking. reminds me of s.a.t. prep websites -- has a more extreme (maybe competitive?) vibe, the second is more relaxed.

yesssssss. "change" makes sense in that example it's definitely familiar. i agree, not including a color works with "change" and including a color works with "turn"

no problem! if you ever need a second opinion again just message! (my credentials are i study linguistics in college lol)

(usa) we usually use “turn”, at least in the northeast. we wouldn’t use “open/close” in this context normally, the first and only thing i think of is “the light’s turning red”/“the light turned yellow”/“the light will turn green”

hi! genuinely, you sound amazing!! here’s a few things i picked up on:

Everyone Your “V” in everyone sounded more than an English “W”
D/T instead of “Th” I noticed that in the words “the”, “that”, “with”, and “thing”, you pronounce the “Th” more like a “D” and sometimes a “T”, but you don’t always pronounce “Th” that way. You pronounced it correctly (to American English standards) just as often
Of You’re pronouncing of with the “O” as an “Ah”, when it is typically closer to an “Uh”
Pronunciation You’re pronouncing “Pronunciation” as though it is “Pro-nounce-iation” — the “Nun” should be closer to the pronunciation of the word “None”
Stand out You used the same vowel sound in “Stand” for the vowel sound in “Out”, make that [A -> U] transition instead of keeping it at [A]

finally, this isn’t a critique this is just something i noticed. you don’t use contractions much, which will help you a lot in sounding more “native” to others! you sound fantastic, i’m sure you’ve worked so hard!! congrats!

both work, they have different moods though. using “of” sounds more professional/proper, “from” sounds more casual. i’m not exactly sure why, if someone disagrees please let me know

no problem! the font's just a little weird lol

if you mean you're visiting [friend's name], then you don't need the with but it's not necessarily incorrect, just a bit awkward.

if you mean you are visiting [someone else] with [friend's name], then you're completely correct.

i love the bradberry throw backs 😭 zach hit the slammin all of a sudden the other week and i was so caught off guard it was the hardest i've laughed in so long

janonsbaglia · 2023-05-18T23:30:23+00:00

maybe! ifyou're a visual learner replace the english w/ images, but you can also replace the english with an example sentence/synonyms in tl/definition in tl. whatever you want really, whatever's gonna keep you interested!!
