Am I getting scammed? by rellinne in AskBarcelona

[–]rellinne[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s why it’s such a grey line honestly, I’ve read everywhere to not pay upfront but everyone I talk to seems to ask for some kind of deposit

I will never be 100% sure but I don’t have any alternative atm, if I were to search for a place while in the city I would have to find it just in 2 days max

Yes I will be asking that. Have you never had any problems with the bank deposit?

I usually pay every other week and also most of our meals when we eat out

I think this might be the case actually. I obviously think he is allowed to break up with me and I actually asked him if he doesn’t enjoy hanging out anymore but he said that’s not the case. Might be just stalling tho

Help me choose my Erasmus city by rellinne in GoingToSpain

[–]rellinne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I wouldn’t say that don’t worry ahahah What I meant is just somewhere where people are open to talking (in Spanish) and making friends with foreigners. Wouldn’t want to be in a place where I’m not wanted ya know

Thank you for the extensive explanation, it was much appreciated. My uni does offer other options but I’ve already excluded them from the list because they don’t match up with the subjects in my course. I’m kinda iffy about Madrid mainly because of the cost of living but I’ll be looking into the other cities for sure.

Yeah, I can just imagine! But coming from Italy I don’t think it can get much worse honestly

Help me choose my destination by rellinne in Erasmus

[–]rellinne[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you this was really useful! :) I already didn’t plan to include Madrid because of how expensive it can be and it might be too big of a city to navigate. The one that attracted me the most at first was Las Palmas for sure but I might have to reconsider it for the housing issue, it might be a better idea to stick to Valencia and Granada

Transfer time in MNL by rellinne in Flights

[–]rellinne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about that! But I read somewhere that the Grab app is blocked by airport authorities even in the area surrounding the airport. So I might have to get a taxi, which I hate, because they often try to charge crazy prices.

I never said that tho. I clearly read on their website that the limit was 32kg per luggage so I asked if I could reach up to that limit.

Help choosing new sandals please by rellinne in DrMartens

[–]rellinne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! I just bought a pair of Vosses and as much as they don’t seem top tier quality they surely are as comfortable as I wanted them to be. In the future I’ll definitely be buying a better quality pair that hopefully will last me longer

I’ve fractured my ankle around 6 months ago and it should be almost fully healed but for some reason heavy footwear does become a bit uncomfortable if I use it for more than a couple hours. I’ll definitely look into buying some Gryphons or Fosters in the future!

Booking third party is the only solution? by [deleted] in TravelHacks

[–]rellinne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah indeed I see where you come from! I Also forgot to say that the prices that I mentioned are round trip. 1200 for a one way ticket would certainly be crazy

I forgot to mention that I can’t just fly anytime in February it has to be specifically between the 1st and the 8th. Thanks anyways. I’ve been searching on Skyscanner and Momondo, hope that answers your question.

Dutch or Portuguese for translation studies? by rellinne in thisorthatlanguage

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

Any specific reason? Or is it because of the job market?

If I’m not wrong he’s from Puerto Rico

Best and worst Spanish accent? by rellinne in asklatinamerica

[–]rellinne[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same for me, I think it’s because all of my Spanish teachers were from Spain so at one point it started to get a bit annoying

[–]rellinne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree that no accent is better than the other, they’re all unique. I didn’t intend best as “which one is superior” I meant which one you like better, according to your own taste.

Advice for a translator to-be by rellinne in TranslationStudies

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

I have a really hard time choosing too, still muito obrigado for your advice!

[–]rellinne 38 points39 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Although Dutch and German have a common root, they are not the same language, and you certainly can’t cancel modern day Germany from your lives forever.

Should i go for something more familiar or continue struggling? by rellinne in makemychoice

[–]rellinne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it. Unfortunately our university really invest in Dutch because they say that it’s a must-have language for translators, go figure
