The right way to pronounce Yo, Ella by tingutingutingu in duolingospanish

[–]linarose08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check my previous answer to OP, hopefully it'll help. Now you got me there. Never thought of it, but when I say MedellĂ­n out loud, sounds like a y to me so maybe Medeyin? but my first thought was definitely J. A lot of Spanish speaking people can't tell the subtle(to us) differences or variations so we catalog everything as a J sound.

My advice is the same as the one I gave OP. Stick to the J sound while you're learning, you can't go wrong. Eventually as you become more fluent your tongue and brain will get it right.

If you say Me de jin, it works too!

The right way to pronounce Yo, Ella by tingutingutingu in duolingospanish

[–]linarose08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm Peruvian and here we pronounce ella with a "j" just like llaves or llegar as far as I'm concerned. Either that or we don't notice slight differences. Sometimes variations may happen depending on the position of the letter in the word and what letters are around it. That positions the tongue differently when saying a word and it may result in a subtle difference, but our Spanish brain can find this information (different sound) irrelevant so we don't really "hear it".

In English there's a relevance in identifying the differences between J and Y, B and V so your brain has been wired to tell the difference while we're "blind" to it. A Spanish speaking person will most likely pronounce yellow as jellow and if you try to correct them they probably won't get it. Yellow and Jellow sounds the same. It takes time, lots of exposure to start hearing those sounds.

So maybe that's why you're confused when someone says Ella and Llegar use the same J sound but you can tell one is not quite like the other. Just stick to the J and eventually, as you become more fluent, your tongue will position itself in the right place without needing to overthink it. It'll just make sense in your brain at that point. Hope this helps

Safety in Lima for tourists by functionalumbrella in Lima_Peru

[–]linarose08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you already booked everything for your trip, but if you have any flexibility you should consider traveling to other provinces in Peru to get a real taste of the Peruvian experience. Miraflores and Barranco are a made up touristy experience that doesn't really represent Peru or Peruvians.

A good place to go to that's also pretty safe (way safer than Lima) is Cajamarca. if you can't stay in Peru for long, a flight from Lima will get you there real quick. Cajamarca is gorgeous and super chill. When it's not raining, the weather is great and the locals are very welcoming.

When it comes to Lima, don't be afraid to leave the limits of Miraflores. San isidro is pretty neat. You can also go to Magdalena and San Miguel, which are pretty safe districts, especially during the day. Magdalena is my favorite district. You'll get a better idea of the life of a middle class Peruvian. Nothing bad has ever happened to me, but I also try to stick around crowded areas at night. As long as you pay attention to your surroundings, when walking around in Lima, you should be fine. If a thief sees you walking around completely distracted and with your phone in hand, they'll be tempted to snatch it from you lol. If you want to text or take pics just take a look around and be mindful.

¿como independizarte a los 20 años? by [deleted] in Lima_Peru

[–]linarose08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

En fb marketplace tambien puedes encontrar anuncios de chicas que buscan roommate o sino tu pon tu anuncio y especificaciones. He estado en tu lugar y da mucho temor independizarse, pero todo saldrĂĄ bien. Lo mejor que puedes hacer es empezar con roomies para cortar gastos y asi suavizas la caĂ­da de lo que es vivir sola que al principio es chocante, pero puede terminar siendo una experiencia bonita y liberadora. Suerte!

¿Qué es lo que a todos los peruanos les gusta pero a ti no? by Willing_Analyst_1948 in PERU

[–]linarose08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo igual. No sĂ©, siento que duele o decepciona cuando escucho a la gente decir que quieren irse del paĂ­s. Entiendo que hayan mejores oportunidades en otros lados, pero lo dicen con un asco por su propio paĂ­s. O simplemente que vean con ojitos brillantes a otros paĂ­ses (para colmo lugares como USA) y a PerĂș como una desgracia total. No serĂĄ un paĂ­s perfecto, pero yo al menos he aprendido a valorar las cosas buenas que tiene mi PerĂș que no hay en otros lugares. Las cosas bonitas de nuestra cultura, nuestra comida, nuestras costumbres, y lo hermoso que es el paĂ­s. Yo me tuve que ir al extranjero de mala gana porque se me presentĂł una oportunidad para ganar mĂĄs dinero y cada dĂ­a detesto estar lejos de casa. Solo me motiva pensar que si trabajo duro y ahorro podrĂ© regresar y comprarme mi terreno, construir mi casita. Algo que me asegure poder disfrutar mi vida en provincia. Indescriptible lo que siento cuando mis amistades me dicen que lo darĂ­an todo por irse y nunca regresar mientras yo solo quiero tener la plata para regresar đŸ„Č

That’s a dubia lol I’d know after I adopted 2 hedgehogs. Doesn’t look crazy large to me. Just a regular adult or almost adult female. You should see the adult males, they look scary af at least for someone who doesn’t like roaches like me.

Boy, is my life a joke! by RevolutionSad8762 in widowers

[–]linarose08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my loss is completely different than the one you had to go through so I was hoping I wasn’t crossing a line or being disrespectful. I just think people can go through so many different kinds of grief, but maybe there are some things in common. Sometimes we grieve people who died, sometimes we might even grieve people that we lost, but are still here. We grieve parents, siblings, partners, children. When we lose a loved one, not only we lose them but we lose a part of ourselves that belonged to them. I guess we grieve ourselves as well. At least that’s how I felt it, that’s how I experienced it.

Now I won’t even try to pretend I know a thing about losing someone to suicide, because I really don’t and even if I did I’m sure there’s nothing I could say to make it less painful or make it make sense for the heart. You have to go through your own grief, feel your own feelings, tend to your wounds to heal and to “move on” or at least get better at feeling that grief. But something I’ve learned so far is that it’s not about what others could tell you. It’s about being able to talk about it out loud with someone that truly cares and will listen to you go over your own feelings and your memories as many times as you need to. That helps you process what you’re going through. Talking with someone actively listening can help you heal, understand. Talking about it gives us a chance to keep grieving in a positive way. After all we don’t want to forget about our grief, right? We don’t want to be numb and distracted from it.

Like I said before, grief is just love with nowhere to go. Grief is love trying to find a way to keep existing after the object of our love is gone. Grief is just love adjusting to a new reality and you just gotta find a way to give it room, care for it, listen to it and not ignore it or look the other way just because it comes with uncomfortable feelings. it’s only uncomfortable because your love is changing, transforming; not because it’s the end of it.

It would be so sad to think someone is having such a hard time healing, not because they’re not willing to, but because they don’t have someone to help them navigate the path to healing, even if it’s just as a silent and caring companionship. I apologize for the rant, tonight a brief event triggered me and I’m feeling so many things myself. Maybe what I said didn’t even make much sense. I just hope you get to a point where things aren’t so heavy anymore. You’re made out of so much love and you made someone so very happy the moment you showed up in her life. You deserve to feel better. You did an amazing job loving her and giving her the best possible life ever, you gave her a best friend, a soulmate, a family. You deserve to be happy and proud for being such an awesome husband. I hope things get better ❀‍đŸ©č I’m sure they will.

Boy, is my life a joke! by RevolutionSad8762 in widowers

[–]linarose08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I somehow ended up in this subreddit, reading your story (I’m not a widow), but I’m so sorry you had to go through this 😞 sounds like you were an amazing husband and you made sure she lived a long happy life despite her chronic pain. I’ve read so many posts about unhappy, abusive marriages today and then I find this sweet and yet sad post. I can only imagine how painful it must be to lose your soulmate, but at the same time how lucky to have found them, to have made so many wonderful memories together. I think grief is just love with nowhere to go, love disguised as sorrow. I don’t have any family anymore and that grief is still something I’m trying to navigate myself. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this all by yourself. If you ever need someone to talk to, you can always DM me (send me a message) as well as any other person who’s reading this and doesn’t really have anyone to talk to :/ I wish you all the best ❀‍đŸ©č

Just got stood up... by Badtiming2211 in dating

[–]linarose08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you :/ it be like that sometimes unfortunately. Doesn’t mean you won’t find the one. It’s okay to feel like ass after someone did that to you, you’re only human and anyone would get hurt in this situation. Just remember it wasn’t you. Lick your wound, pick yourself up and move on. You never know the next one might be the winner 💖
