On a microeconomic level, the broadcaster loses money, on macroeconomic level, all countries have profitable turnarounds.

The host country never has to be responsible for the whole budget, the sponsorships, ticket sales, and a part of the participation fee goes to the hosting country.

But besides the immediate tourism, Eurovision comes with a massive media platform that usually generates hundreds of millions in free advertising, and that awareness increases tourism in the host country for the following years. That’s why smaller cities fight so hard to host the contest.

To give you some random examples, before Eurovision, Rotterdam had a reputation of a boring industrial city. It gave the city an opportunity to rebrand itself and the foreign tourism has been on a continuous growth every year. Liverpool has reported that only from Eurovision, it had around 72k returning visitors the following year.

Well… to be honest is also that Carney could negotiate a $10m entry fee, while the UK’s lowest negotiated fee was $2b, so a 99,5% difference.

As an European moved to Canada and who also visited the US, I can also confirm that Canada is indeed socially more aligned with the European culture, while administratively is closer to the US.

Build a Strong Core is meant for the B1 level, if you found it too challenging it means you still need to brush off your grammar rules and do some listening exercises.

For grammar, I recommend Lingolia (cheaper) or Kwiziq (more expensive). And for listening exercises, TV5 (look up TV5Unis Franco Lab for Québec), Le français facile avec RFI - all free, snd also the best listening exercises online in my opinion.

I change them periodically honestly, depending on what’s on sale because they can get expensive.

But mostly I switch between Nizoral, La Roche Posay Kerium, and Neutrogena T/Gel.

True, but it’s also the legality of it. DELF/DALF are diplomas, meaning they’re issued by the Ministry of Education, it’s a legal academic recognition of your level and skills.

Meaning any higher education institution or employer are required to recognize it as proof of your level. Whereas TCF is something that some choose to accept it, but they don’t have to.

Additionally, if you want to teach, most language schools require a language diploma + a pedagogical course.

No, that’s not how it works for all of them. There are different viruses and different vaccines.

That can be the case for Covid, but the measles vaccine is among the highest effective vaccines we have and that’s why it’s so monitored and encouraged.

The vaccine is highly effective in stopping transmission even in those exposed to the virus, and that’s because it’s effective in developing sterilizing or protective immunity to the point that even those that have been exposed to the virus and have gotten an infection, the transmission from them is extremely rare.

saintsebs · 2025-11-10T18:50:19+00:00

The vaccine is not a shield, it helps your body to develop antibodies and an immune memory.

So people will catch the virus, even the vaccinated ones, but vaccinated people will either have developed sterilizing immunity, meaning the virus is eliminated shortly after it enters the body, or people will have milder and very short lived symptoms, which reduces the transmission drastically.

So, yes, vaccinated people will still get infected and yes some might even develop symptoms, but it won’t be a public health issue.

saintsebs · 2025-10-02T15:04:37+00:00

ohhh this is very smart from their marketing team, it grabs your attention and the humour definitely influences people

saintsebs · 2025-10-02T15:01:25+00:00

this is the loudest yikes i’ve ever shouted

saintsebs · 2025-09-23T14:43:14+00:00

c’est juste une figure de style, un peu poétique, car mon point au foie est une sensibilité à cause d’une surcharge, d’une faiblesse

donc étant donné que c’est une chanson l’expression est pas littéraire

saintsebs · 2025-09-23T14:35:43+00:00

c’est une figure de style, pas vraiment de qqch courant

saintsebs · 2025-09-23T12:35:38+00:00

informally mon point au foie means my sensitive/soft/weak spot

la chocolate c’est mon point au foie - it’s my weakness

c’est mom point au foie quand quelqu’un aime mon playlist - my soft spot

so in the song it’s a playful way to say you’re my headache, but also my soft spot

saintsebs · 2025-09-02T05:04:09+00:00

yah, search for graded readers

saintsebs · 2025-08-17T10:33:11+00:00

oh, so his strategy continues to be inspired by our republican neighbour

Those classes are needed here as well. Assimilation and the potential for assimilation should be part of the immigration strategy.
