4 years of it in high school, and the best I can manage is sounding like a drunk 5 year old that curses with what I’m told is a Mexico City accent because the girl I dated from Mexico City taught me the fun words.
Like, I would have to have a dictionary in front of me to apologize for my bad spanish and be clearly understood. That’s how bad my Spanish is. But in my head? I’m all suave and shit. And in my dreams, I’m bloody fluent. Awake? Not even close
For me it was Bad Religion lyrics. 13 year old me would sit down in front of the CD player, booklet in one hand, dictionary in the other. Greg Graffin uses an obscene amount of vocabulary that I haven’t encountered anywhere else.
One example:
The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep. The vortex of their minds ensconced within the murky deep
“I have found that reading challenging texts aloud has helped me improve my writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills. Some people may mock me for it, but I’ve discovered that it enhances my active vocabulary more quickly than any other method I’ve tried on my own.”
I’ve made some revisions so that English speakers can better understand your text.
I’m a swede with fully swedish parents, and I have always lived here, but I’ve always sucked at Swedish, both spelling and vocabulary.
But I’m way better at English, I often use English words because I can’t remember or simply don’t know the Swedish equivalent, and sometimes I just give up and fully use English for whatever I’m trying to explain. I wouldn’t say I’m great at grammar overall, but I’m above average based on how bad most people are.
It’s the most important part! Remember, when you’re filling out your dating profile, keep the salary figure within reason or they’ll know you’re being yourself a little too hard.
I always find that “a little over six figures” is just vague enough to get you out of a jamb should they find out about your disgusting financial situation! Almost like saying you’re six feet tall: who’s gonna prove you’re really 5’-9" unless they measure you!
Yeah, but the implication here is that the phone is capable of rotating, unlike a tv. I get it though, if they don’t want to watch a landscape video in portrait.
I don’t really use my TV, but spend a lot of time watching TV lying down. I turn my phone so it’s facing the right way for me to see, though I get it would be a lot harder to get the cat to hold it upright.
