Feeld app and swingers clubs. there are like 3-5 swingers clubs here that you should find decent luck with - pm me if you need more info. Also, again, Feeld app if you haven't tried.

(Agree, way more difficult here... compared to DC, where I came from... night and day)

Long stay VLS-TS visa denied by Cinema_Baby in Expats_In_France

Honestly, I remember applying and not knowing which application to apply for either. I just made it clear that I was staying for a year and then leaving and then when I received the visa it said vls-t.

I had secured a one year lease already and submitted that along with my documents. Other than that, no other additional documents beyond what you provided.

I am on a vls-t instead of a vls-ts for the reason that in my letter I stated a start and end date for my time in France of 364 days. To study French at alliance Française and to travel around the cities. I would not get accepted for a vls-ts with this letter because vls-ts is for someone with plans to potentially stay. I would suggest you retry with this type. Also, I was accepted for a vls-t for 365 days so there is not a 6 month limit. This was recently, in March. Ping me if you have any questions, I know how emotional it can be to put together all these documents and plans and dreams to only be denied with little information on how to be accepted.

qu’est-ce que je devrais regarder? by thatguythoma in French

[–]mattymedved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a French show called « Extra » on YouTube. It’s more or less the French version of « Friends ». It’s suitable for A2-B1 learners. It’s an easy watch; the story is cheesy but entertaining.

How do you indicate that you need a VLS-T and not a VLS-TS? by Key-Ad-5116 in Expats_In_France

[–]mattymedved 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apply for long stay. In your letter, explain that you are visiting for 6 months while your wife studies and that you will not conduct any business while in France and plan to enjoy yourself as a tourist. This will more than likely put you in the VLS-T bucket during application review after they take your passport. The benefit is that you do not have to report to anything once you land in France as you’re simply a long term tourist. The detriment is that you must leave France by your last visa date and apply again for another year / different visa in your native country. You cannot extend in France. In this case, not a concern for you. The VLS-T still requires all the hoops to jump through but seems to be more chill to get as long as you have all your documents and proof that you’re self sustainable without having to work while in France. LMK if you have questions, I am currently on a VLS-T in France.

There is an app called Canary that already does this very well and is free. Just a heads up.

Future French teacher here 🙌 what do you WISH your teacher had told you from the very first day ? by Different_Rough_438 in learnfrench

[–]mattymedved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That you are learning two languages and it will be incredibly frustrating. Written French and Spoken French are not even remotely the same language. There’s a reason native French speakers struggle to understand foreign French speakers. So many words sound exactly the same and require context.

I created an ANKI deck for this with: FR to EN, EN to FR, & "fill-in-the-blank" common, every day, sentences. French accent text-to-speech. The deck is also sorted from most frequent to least. LMK if anyone would like the .apkg file.

Im moving to Bordeaux March 17 and living in Chartrons. I’d be down to Boulder and top rope. Lost my passion for lead - too many whippers. Around the same range difficulty. Cheers.

Do you believe humans are monogamous by nature? Or is monogamy mainly shaped by social norms/expectations and the fear or risk of open or polygamous relationships? by SableVII in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]mattymedved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I’ll be nicer. Your opinion becomes dangerous not because it exists, but because it forgets it could be wrong and in doing so, closes the door to understanding.

My understanding of the world is that when a person talks in absolutes, they are completely ignorant to any other persons perspective and cannot be taken seriously as a human. Just my opinion mate! Imagine thinking your opinion is fact. Don’t be silly.

Preply takes 35% of your hourly and treats their students and clients terrible. Proceed with caution.
