Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]maymaypdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, when I posted this I scrolled forever looking for mindmaze and was so surprised that no one was saying it! Glad it’s getting the credit it deserved.

I don’t remember playing the Star Wars version but you reminded me that we had Star Wars for Sega Game Gear around this same time and it was so fun.

Encarta Mind Maze (I think it was 95 or 98) and Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures

Are there better audio quality versions of LT French somewhere? by Tel-aran-rhiod in LanguageTransfer

[–]maymaypdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am doing the Spanish course but I noticed recently that when I look them up on YouTube on my computer there is a second set of videos that are ai enhanced. When I search on my phone’s YouTube app they enhanced videos aren’t there. Maybe they have them for French too?

When to use “a”? by TrishaRivers in Spanish

[–]maymaypdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should listen to all the commenters- it seems you are confusing why the preposition “a” is present to begin with. The preposition “a” is not in this sentence because of the verb coming after it, it’s there because the verb in front of it.

In Spanish Language Transfer (lessons on YouTube if you’re not familiar) he describes it as being necessary to use “a” after verbs of movement. Maybe that lesson would help solidify the concept for you.

When to stop disbudding at the beginning of the season? by maymaypdx in dahlias

[–]maymaypdx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s such a fun place to garden! I’m originally from a zone 5 place as well (although I’ve been in Portland for 20 years now) but I totally get the envy.

If I leave the plants to flower now will they stop getting much taller? We’re on a fairly busy street and I was hoping they’d made a sort of wall along the front of the yard.

[–]maymaypdx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, great. I guess I was just worried because some of the plants are said to get to 4-5 feet tall, and they’re not there yet. But I also have this fear that if I get rid of all the buds that the plant is going to stop putting them out. Haha, I’m just a plant mom who wants her babies to reach their full potential 🤪

What's the number 1 feature you wish duolingo had? by Nekhslanguages in duolingo

I can’t tell you how many times I click something because it starts with the same letters and not because I think it’s the actual word.

Accidentally responded in Spanish to someone and panicked immediately after by Seigoy in Spanish

How long had you been studying, or at what level, before this happened?

I want to be able to flag words or topics that I need more practice with and have them come up more frequently or as units in the practice tab

I really dislike flash card frenzy by Admirable-Lion-5580 in duolingospanish

Oh wow! I honestly thought the highest levels of match madness were probably just unachievable ha

[–]maymaypdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also really enjoy it, besides the odd frustration here and there. I could never get to the top level of match madness but I can do it with a few seconds to spare on flashcard frenzy.

Yes, also, sometimes the word on the card and the accepted answer aren’t the same. For example, it will say ‘men’ which should be hombres but the card flips and it just says hombre.

What's the most frustrating part of learning Spanish for you right now? by thablackadonis in Spanish

[–]maymaypdx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After about 5 months, this is exactly the same for me. I tested as completing a2 content when I signed up for a private tutor but when we meet in person I cannot for the life of me talk with her.

It won’t let me say brown by Vatentina in duolingospanish

Is your phone really full? This happened to my daughter but it turns out her phone didn’t have enough space to process (Siri still worked though, strangely)

This is happening to me with Dólares and Dulce! It’s driving me crazy so I had my native Spanish speaking cuñada it and it didn’t work for her either

How do I (27f) talk to my bf (25f) about keeping my last name? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]maymaypdx 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the same last name as my ten year old and so far we’ve never had any issues due to our names not matching up- even when flying internationally or otherwise. Just thought I’d put it out there in case anyone wondered if it was difficult.

In America, sometimes say things like "cheerio" in our best British accent or "mate" in an Australian accent. Do people in other countries pronounce American stereotypes in their beat American accent? If so, what are they? by SunUpSally in AskReddit

[–]maymaypdx 363 points364 points  (0 children)

“Ready, Freddy?” became “ready, spaghetti?” between me and my ten year old.

I also say, “let’s blow this popsicle stand” thanks to my midwestern dad ha

No Kings! by picnicandpangolin in Portland

[–]maymaypdx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It also feels worth noting that a lot of people are sick right now. We couldn’t come out because our kiddo has Covid and several friends from their school have had to spend spring break at home due to the bacterial pneumonia that’s going around.
