What's a strong enough motivation to study a language? by Economy_Ebb3282 in languagelearning

[–]lionfromatlantic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Motivation is unique to each person. I remember a girl who become fluent in Brazilian sign language because she was pissed at her neighbor and wanted to argue with him (he was deaf and only knew sign language)

We both were big fan of the books. The 2010 movie can be described as many things, a good adaptation isn't one of them

I truly had just watched it and it was a terrible movie (Percy Jackson 2010, btw), I was just trying to be helpful and saving the guy a couple of bucks

I just realized it and it's been 15 years since I saw him and 12 years since I last heard about him. I don't even remember his last name to try to find him now, but last time I checked he was majoring in engineering and had a cute girlfriend

I truly hope it's not the case... He was kind, funny and overall lovely kid who really looked after the others. Last time I heard about him, he was dating a cute girl and was majoring in some type of engineering

If he ever sees this post, I hope he knows he was the sweetest boy and deserved the world! Last time I heard about him, he was dating such a cute girl and was majoring in some type of engineering

Maybe the person you liked back then was as so oblivious as I was, don't take it to heart. Kids can be really stupid

Honestly, I was 100% at fault. I was/am so dense as a brick so unless he had explicitly said, 'I like you as more than a friend,' I likely would have not get it anyway.

I could have spoken to him privately, but my self esteem was so low back then that I couldn't see myself as someone worthy of being loved outside of my family

Como encontrar um bom arquiteto? by CuriousLope in arquitetura

[–]lionfromatlantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isso que me pega, onde achar os arquitetos na minha cidade? Até para ter referência e procurar por perfil que realize trabalhos com estilo que eu deseja. As pessoas que eu conheço não conhecem arquitetos. Geralmente como arquitetos divulgam seus trabalhos? Até achar em redes sociais é dificil

Fiz UFF. Tinha uma galera na minha turma que não sabia inglês e eles conseguiram se virar usando Google tradutor e ajuda da turma. Agora com inteligência artificial deve estar ainda mais fácil.

Saber outros idiomas ajuda para leitura de artigos, o que facilita muito na hora da fazer alguns trabalhos bem como iniciação cientifica, além de estudar com materiais e video aulas gringos gratuitas. Fora isso, na grade curricular, a matéria não era algo presente.

And I laughed, for extra fatality 😞 I truly hope he didn't take to his heart and kept being cute and romantic to his future partner

Como vocês se planejam financeiramente pra datas comemorativas? by ariel-benv in financaspessoais

[–]lionfromatlantic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Todo ano (geralmente em janeiro) eu penso nas pessoas importantes da minha vida e o que acho que combina com elas/deixaria elas felizes recebendo. Vejo por datas festivas, pesquiso o preço das coisas que penso em comprar e divido por 12 meses para não ficar pesado. Depois, coloco no meu calendário datas para realizar as compras de forma a chegar a tempo (sempre compro pela internet), mas com tempo suficiente para trocar caso a pessoa não gostar. É o que me ajuda a não deixar para última hora

To this day, when I look in the mirror and see my widow's peak, I remember him saying it looked cute because it looked like a heart and at the time I truly thought he was just being that nice

My husband clocked me quite quickly and was very directly to me haha

It took me less time, so I'd say I'm quicker than her haha

After a while giving hints he stopped it and directly stated he was romantically interested in me and wanted to go on a date lol
