LPT: Teach your dog commands in sign language, too

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: Teach your dog commands in sign language, too Why? It’s a fun game to teach them and can help build your relationship. It helps teach them to focus on you because they have to look at you to get instructions. You can communicate with them even if someone else is sleeping in the room. Finally, if they get hard of hearing in their later years, you can still ask them the basics (come, stay, et…

Do you prefer people speak English to you or try in your language? Hey! I’m asking this especially for people working in the tourism/hospitality sector and any person working in contact with tourists in countries where English isn’t the official language. Do you prefer if they speak to you in English or try and learn a few words of your language? It’s always something I wondered so I thought I’d ask in this g…

Do not take taxis in Lisbon as a foreigner who doesn’t speak the language. My partner and I have been looking forward to our trip to Portugal for a long time – and when we arrived yesterday, within our first hour at the airport, we got scammed by a cab driver who promised that they would charge the same flat rate (or similar) to an Uber. We took the taxi cab from the airport down to Costa Da Caparica – a 35 minute dri…

LPT: make a conscious effort to use objective language when talking about facts, and subjective language when talking about opinions.

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: make a conscious effort to use objective language when talking about facts, and subjective language when talking about opinions. This will help you (and others around you) to better distinguish between discussing an opinion vs. a fact. More specifically, it’s an effective way to combat people who like to try and present their opinions as factual. For example: don’t say “Karen doesn’t believe 2+2=4.” Instead, say “Karen doesn’t acknowledge that 2+2=4.” Likewise, make sure…

Language barriers

Language barriers Language barriers when traveling give me a lot of anxiety. I try to learn a few common phrases or courtesies (please, thank you, hello, goodbye) before visiting a country. Beyond that, how do other travelers handle this? Does everyone just use Google now? I hate being on my phone constantly and worry it’s rude. Do you have your phone speak the p…

LPT: To learn a language fast, focus on three things. First, basic pronouns. Second, verb tenses. Third, vocab. And then start thinking in that language as soon as possible. Pronouns: I, you, we, they. Verb tenses: almost all verbs have the same ten patterns for present, past, and future tense. (do, feel like doing, was doing, have felt like doing, have done, have felt like doing, I had been feeling like doing, will do, would do.) Learn these patterns. And then learn the most common 100 verbs, which you’ll use 80% o…

For example, I wanted to make authentic Mapo Tofu, but a lot of my search history has been Americanized. So I translated Mapo Tofu into “麻婆豆腐”, pasted that directly into the search bar, and found plenty of Chinese recipe websites. I found the one I liked, and translated it back into English, and the recipe tastes just like how mom made it! …
