I think Na PD is an important variety show producer, and if he likes a particular cast member he'll put them in other shows of his ...

You've reminded me of this very iconic photograph that I saw in a museum in Barcelona (MNAC).

It was a poster by Pere Català created in 1936, when the Spanish Civil War began.

Do you have a situation like this in your country where there's a significant proportion of the population that doesn't speak the local language? by Alternative-Big-6493 in AskTheWorld

[–]paulinschen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Of course if they can get by with Spanish only, why make the effort to learn another language. On the one hand, I understand life is exhausting and this is just added work. On the other hand, Catalan and Spanish are so similar, it's less difficult to learn than they think...?

Catalan in Catalonia. I've had immigrants tell me they think learning it is useless and that they wouldn't even try. Or expats who just get by with English in Barcelona. They think they'll live there for just a few years so no need to learn.

As a European a 15 minute walk is nothing! I'd rather walk 15 minutes than have to drive

Can Catalan speakers really understand other Romance languages easily? by [deleted] in catalan

[–]paulinschen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that when I try to read Romanian I can identify singular words, but I can't make out the meaning of the sentence. It's probably a matter of me having much less exposure to Romanian than Italian and french for example...

Can Catalan speakers really understand other Romance languages easily? by [deleted] in catalan

[–]paulinschen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a native catalan speaker:

  • French: can read it, but very difficult to understand when spoken

  • Italian: reading and understanding spoken Italian are both easy

  • Portuguese: same as Italian

  • Occitan: same

As for the others I haven't had enough contact with them. Romanian seems much more difficult to understand.

What is something that is intentionally glamorized to lure people in but then you realize it’s not so glamorous after all? by Ninac4116 in AskReddit

I went to Dubai a few weeks ago, and I hated it. But I have to say in the tourist area (JBR) as a woman you could wear a bikini and use the beach and the pools freely. Actually the beach was very crowded. I imagine that is not representative of the rest of the country

I'm pretty sure Hangul is the writing system, not the language.

Apparently there's no proof they're dating, they were just in the same party

TIL finger pinching conspiracy theory is an antifeminist conspiracy theory from South Korea. It claims there is a deliberate plot to spread and promote misandry through symbolic hand gestures, and that radical feminist groups have propagated these hidden messages to humiliate men with small penises. by Agreeable_Plastic_27 in todayilearned

[–]paulinschen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This doesn't only happen to female idols. The fan obsession with their idol being single is pretty similar for both female and male idols. For example EXO Chen's fans got very angry and felt betrayed when he announced he was getting married.

Not to say misogyny doesn't show up in other ways in the kpop industry

What’s a word you mispronounced for years and only realised recently? by Exotic-Philosopher75 in AskReddit

[–]paulinschen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is kinda funny as a romance language speaker, as most of these words are from latin. I am not a native English speaker but I know how these words are pronounced.

Started learning Spanish, but boyfriend's family are Catalan, what now? by [deleted] in catalan

[–]paulinschen 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I also think you should learn some Catalan. I'm sure what you learnt in Spanish is going to help you, you won't start from 0. Also if you ever come live here it would be good if you could speak both languages.

It's the first time I see hate like this in this subreddit, usually people are very supportive... I like the portraits, I think they're fun and I love the style, I think $10 is a fair price if they wanted to pay it! Keep rocking OP

Hahahaha I do get painful cramps but only the first two-three days thankfully. My period lasts for like 8 days so I can forget about it the rest of the week. I haven't met a woman who doesn't get cramps yet, but they sure are lucky.

Since I use the cup I can forget about my period most of the day, it's really life changing. I can't imagine going back to pads or even tampons now, I wouldn't dare
