中文難しい Pourquoi parfois le i sonne comme un u ou un e ? And J sometimes sounds more like a dz than dj. Cuando escucho el audio olvido el pinyin y cuando leo el pinyin olvido la pronunciación.
nou ja, er zijn genoeg problemen met NS ook, niet zo erg als met CFR maar dan nog blijkbaar zijn blaadjes of 0.05 cm sneeuw op het spoor een groot risico en dus moeten ze heel langzaam rijen... en tijdens het spits is het echt druk op sommige trajecten een ding dat bijna altijd geldt is dat treinen hier best wel schoon zijn, en meestal in de "stilte" wagons zijn mensen echt stil en praten niet aan ze telefoon of minstens niet te hard zodat je lezen of een beetje slapen kan

Benjamin Rogers
>of 0.05 cm sneeuw op het spoor een groot risico en dus moeten ze heel langzaam rijen Ja, maar onze treinen zijn altijd langzaam. Als het sneeuwt is het nog erger. Auto's maken me ziek dus wanneer ik uitga heb ik geen andere keuze dan de trein te nemen. Het is leuk wanneer ik geen haast heb, maar niet anders.
Also feel free to correct. I haven't touched Dutch in ages.

Polishing my French and working on Italian Took French in school from age 13-16, then kept it up on my own for five years until starting a new class this year. Started Italian last winter. I started learning French because I thought it's a beautiful language, and I've continued because it's widely spoken, helps with English, is tied to an interesting culture, and enables me to read a lot of things in the original language. I started Italian because it's useful in classical music (I play piano and sing), and because I got a gig in a music festival in Italy that I did over the summer. I don't know which ones I want to learn next.

I blame the Germans and maybe because the word motion sickness was made up when people still called them wagens, and in the meantime they started calling them auto's car is also 'wagen' hé so again, just blame the Germans, it's what everyone does I also found this vlaamswoordenboek.be/definities/term/wagen >Wagen is standaardtaal voor auto, maar wordt meer gebruikt in Vlaanderen dan in Nederland.

google is your friend but I am too, so: >Earlier this year, a truck carrying cows to slaughter rolled over. Two animals escaped from the overturned vehicle and made a run for it. One ran for the open doors of a supermarket—it would have seemed like a safe, enclosed space for a terrified animal. >In a twist of fate that is as nauseating as it is poignant, the animal was shot dead in the meat aisle. The resulting inadvertent scene is one that could have been staged by an artist or activist trying to raise awareness that meat, dairy and eggs are sanitized packages representing dead animals who wanted to live and who fought for their lives. believe at your own risk huffingtonpost.com/anna-pippus/the-internet-is-freaking-_b_12077126.html

How come? The plot is a bit confusing but it's not difficult to read by any means.
Brandon Ward
The word might be older than the invention of the auto. You could still use wagen for auto, but it sounds archaic in most cases or you are just being a cheeky cunt. Some regional dialects might use the word more frequently.
Do you know what would be great? what if we all make a video speaking the languages that we know? It will encourage people to learn languages and attract them to our thread.

Yea I've read about it but is there really a point in waiting for it if the owner clearly doesn't want to share it? Might aswell just create a new, public one. B-but they'll s-steal my nude p-pictures a-and send them t-to the FBI ;___; D-Did you know they save data?!

I didn't know if any serious people still waited for it, so I stopped caring as the topic was met with such bullshit animosity here. I'll ping the admin again for you if you really want in, though.
>if the owner clearly doesn't want to share it? I should not speak too much, but I know both the admins are inactive or semi-active due to personal things. IMO the mistake was not giving invite powers to the mods, as the mods are active af.
>public Public servers get shat up fast, so that's why this one is invite only.
Cameron Murphy
If you don't like the "bullshit animosity" you can leave instead of trying to kill the general while doing so
Easton James
Just tell the admins to change who can invite and things will be fine, instead of pinging them for a single invite link. Might as well do it that one time they're active. Plus a lot more people would be willing to join, sure of it.
Logan Foster
>trying to kill the general General is active, Discord is active, Discord users post here. There is no "killing" involved.

>Originating in the 1600s, stamppot is one of the oldest Dutch recipes that remains popular today. The traditional Dutch stamppot recipes use mashed potatoes as the base, and then incorporate a vegetable (most often sauerkraut, kale, endive, spinach, and turnip greens) and sometimes a meat, making the quintessential comfort food dish. There are no real rules about what goes into a stamppot, though, so the variety is as endless as your imagination.
That happens to me too sometimes. I learned the word "sortie" through Japanese, for example.

Maybe that's a bit rude, but do you actually think that this general is great for qualitative answers to quick questions? Would that not be better in a Discord? For daily challenges this general is pretty good but as the only way of talking language on this board it's pretty poopy. >Public servers get shat up fast, so that's why this one is invite only. All Discord servers are invite only :^) Though I get what you mean. The admin should still go fuck himself tbqhqhqh.
Anthony Martinez
If it worked ideally I agree but discords always end up as off-topic circlejerking that kills the discord and takes the thread with it. This is true for a huge amount of /vg/ generals as well
