You literally said 'i over rely on X and it works perfectly'
That's not how that phrase works; it's a contradiction
I'm unsure if things are getting lost in translation or what's happening but something weird is at bay.
I said this last week and everybody pitchforked me for suggesting something clinical might be at play
😭
I over-rely on interaction.
But shadowing works perfectly.
There is nothing contradictory.
That's a completely different sentence 😂😭
wait no not clinical lmfaooo
😭
I think it's just miscommunication or something
Maybe don't use the word over-rely. It's a kind of weird word anyways. I don't think you use interaction a lot because you don't really talk to natives. Just watch a bunch of accent videos.
I do talk to them, I ain’t refused yr advice.
It just is absolutely useless for me!
Yeah I believe it’s just been miscommunications here is all
I don't know how to word this.
You won’t ask a barber to correct yr English, aren’t ya?
You just ask him to get yr hair cut!
It is why it doesn’t help.
But you're specifically asking people here for help, it isn't comparable.
This is a language learning server lol
Like when you send clips of yourself talking and ask how it is. Don't you want feedback to improve?
*misquoting
I asked her for a one.
Hm, not refused just sometimes when you are given advice that you can do to help improve your skills, you do not want to do it. When it is small things like, "Hey try it again, we didn't understand you" you take it well. However, when we give you practical advice, or advice to help you be able to be more understandable without us constantly having to tell you that- you don't take it.
What do you mean?
I just got here, I don't entirely know what happened
Well, we're here to help each other with learning the language so this would be the best place to ask for help and advice.
Somebody is intentionally misquoting me.
😭 No I'm not misquoting you or intentionally doing it
aaaah
someone please help
I’m screaming
Not you, but the other person.
I don't think anyone here has bad intentions, just miscommunication
Check the msg above!
Are you talking about Glasgow?
Exactly!
I think Glasgow was trying to tell you why the word you were using was being used incorrectly.
He does sometimes have a know-it-all tone to him, but he has pure intentions.
I don’t think glasgow had bad intentions hon
Yeah I read all the stuff he said, he's giving genuine feedback on your word choice. You probably think the words have different meaning than they actually do.
I love you still though
Misquoting is changing the words when you repeat back what you're claiming someone else said. I replied right to the message of yours where you said the thing I was talking about...
🤷🏼♂️
Exactly!
But it isn’t not my style.
I just prefer listening/repeating.
Then using what I know even if I get misunderstood.
But if you don't want corrected, why do you frequently send audio then ask about your accent?
Wait!
You were right!
I did misunderstand!
🤦🏼♂️
😭😭
It is what happen when I use the same phrase in two different msgs.
I understand hon we all make mistakes🫶🏾
Yes, also, the word “miscommunication” is misused.
Language is based on facts on other subjects, that’s how grammar and phonetic get formed. Even natives make mistakes because nobody knows every word.
Communication is used for utterance, writing, and body language.
Since it is a result of my drowsiness, it is a mistake from my part unrelated to language or non-linguistic forms of communication.
But I can’t resist, as both language and media are fun!
I don't think it's misused. It means anything that doesn't accurately convey what you mean.
(Feel free to correct me!)
Even if I misread his msgs?
(There is no reading miscomprehension here, it is just me being drowsy.)
@random girder U drink coffee?
I think misunderstanding someone also falls under "miscommunication"
Even if not a communicative misunderstanding?
Would misunderstanding someone not be a communicative misunderstanding? He tries to communicate something, you accidentally misread it, so it isn't properly communicated.
I feel like we're just giving synonyms for the same word lol
(I am not objecting anybody, I just try to know more since nobody knows everything).
Gotcha! Cheers, Pal!
Hermes knows everything about language, hence he communicates perfectly:
Let’s assume that Pan gives him a fungus that weakens sight temporarily, as a result, he fails to read some msgs sent by Zeus (since Hermes is the Messenger God), would this still be a miscommunication?
(Pls, teach me a general informal synonym of “as a result”!)
I'd say so. It isn't related to your abilities as a person, just your actions in that moment.
can u stop tagging
I tagged the wrong person.
So there is already a miscommunication.
"because of"?
be careful
Yes, “‘cos of that” does work.
Sry, I seriously wanna be better!
💓
Myth can be used uncountably.
But I don’t think of grammar or intonation when I speak, as they come naturally.
But punctuation needs thinking to be used right since most of us don’t use them.
Myth (uncountable), mythus/mythos (countable), mythology (countable) = A collection of myths.
Greek mythology means the study either the literary or archaelogical one both also delve in language and psychology.

<@&822883108688232478> It is AI-generated, but does the pronunciation sound natural to you?

The grammar is meh.
It is «¡Tú eres el mejor!»
My answer and opinion is: no
So, it is not mistakable for a human voice?
It's just a few words you hear, which is clearly computer-generated, but in between, the pronunciation of lalalala is fine, it's not so far from reality.
*accent
No.
u r not girl??
it sounds good to me, honestly
What sounds strange I wouldn't classify as something about the AI you used
I would rather say that it is a problem in the adaptation of the lyrics of the song, like poorly adapting an opening.
The word "misterioso" is repeated many times in a short period of time to describe almost the same thing, and this creates listening fatigue.
But, Eres el mejor = tu eres el mejor
I see no problem with the 1st one
a lotta spacetoon (the channel that airs conan episodes in arabic) sound too repetitive, it’s a common theme
It’s cuz they know that the audience is typically like, younger than 10yo ig
Imma walk away before another spacetoon hardcore fan catches me saying this
Bruh I got banned from a server for calling out people being racist
I once got warned (not here) for calling out a dude that would flood the channel with stuff off of AI
hi

Was just petting my kitty haha
HUB
Im great chatting and resting
I'm feeling oppressed
¡Buenos Dias!
Is my free day from day center where i go to chat
From what?
Society
You forgot one word
WHAT
*English go good
hub can be used as slang for a certain site online that contains inappropriate videos and content, as it's the short version for it
for example, "the hub"
how lovely is that

shoot me a DM if interested!
the joker from a comic panel
I think during the riddler vs joker wars, the ballad of kite man part one
Aah, nicee! Thank you!

Gud idea
yes
It is clearly Arabic-influenced.
Dialectal grammar is almost the same as Standard Arabic what usually differ are Egyptian and pronunciation.
I’m a girl IRL, it is just my voice.
They don’t add the emphatic tú due to the rhyme which is alr in singing.

Do i have to practice spanish everyday for the rest of my life in order to retain the language?
Should I quit learning? I dont think id ever move to a spanish country or use it seriously on a daily basis
if u consider interacting with other spanish people as practice then yes
then quit
i just want to learn english because all the information is in english
Why’re u even learning

I mean, probably not every day. You can stop practicing and speak broken Spanish with a bad accent.
Vash my beloved! 
in which state do you live?
California
maybe is not the case of the city where you live
but you probably have some chances to use it in your day to day
but i guess is complicative if you are a begginer because people will reply in english to you
there are a ton of latinos in california
The US is quite diverse.
my house exploded and all the neighbors houses caught on fire and injuries to everyone are severe and I lost my job because of it 🥰🌻

@gusty ermine @gusty ermine you both aren’t making fun of me are you? 🥺
i truly believe its good to be positive
Okay 🥰💛💛💛
Of course not
He hee lol okay! Just making sure
We'd never tease our favorite happy person

but we like u
🥰 🌻
lol it is silly and I like you both! Stay sunny 🌻💛🌻🌻🌻🌻
thanks u too
Right
All in good fun
You too! 🌻
hello
Hai hai! @slender crane what languages are you here to practice? I am learning Mexican Spanish to be specific
Awesome!! Cuantos años tienes?
this time i know only english
your miss are you teacher here ?
Hahaha no lol I am not just a learner of Spanish and helper if I can be 🌻🥰
ohhh i thought your teacher hahah that way i send message in your dm
sorry
No worries 🌻 we are all here to learn and there is a lot of help to be found for language learning
ok
so how are you
Very well it’s sunny and the rain has gone. What about you? Did you find something to make you smile? 🥰🌻🌻
mmmmmm
i think money
yo
anyone know any recording software to record on screen and webcam
preferrably something ran from the browser and not a download
OBS could be your best bet but I think you have to download it
the voice channels at the bottom how do you create one for yourself? or what is it exactly?
You can't create one per say, but you can join any one you want. They are organized as English VC and Spanish VC, so you can join wherever you want to practice basically
ooooo thank you!!!!
(slash)private
To invite people over your private vc, it's "&inv @/someone"
Other people in the vc other than the one who created it (aka the owner) can invite people, but their invitations aren't "permanent" in the sense that, if the people they invited leave the vc, they need another invitation to join again
Also, the people they invite can't access the vc's chat, and they have to put "&acc" to accept the invitation, then join any vc and the bot will move them over to the private vc
Anyway, I always recommend that the owner of the vc invites everyone because it's just easier
Oh, and you can invite multiple people in a single message, but be careful not to ping too many people because it'll be seen as spam lmao, I usually do 5
Hope that helps 
thank you so much!!! it does!
I get nervous to vc in any respects so i wanted to try
Good luck 
Over time, doing vcs isn't scary anymore, and you'll get comfortable
Ryu in Japanese means both dragon and ancient reptile (which including avian dinos and crocodilians).
So guys, U think Kanna is a dragon or a dino?
IDK, but she looks like a dino for me.
What apps is everyone using to learn languages? Besides Duolingo (not for me) I am mostly interested in reading.
Yo uso Rosetta Stone, lo tiene textos cortos que podrías leer
Should I take a hit?
no its illegal to steal
????
stealing a hit is illegal
Matchmaking ❤️
@maiden aurora sorry to bother you, are there any words that contain سْح زْغ دْغ
???

Hmm
أدْغال
For dgh
im wondering if زْع would sound like ظ
دْع
like ﺽ
and سْح
likeص
dang i hate typing in two directions
This one?
hi
no, they are very different
Hiii
yep, that would do
So do you speak Arabic then?
yeah!
cool
Ah I see! How many languages do you know?
both the standard one and the street one
three, English is 4th
msa doesn't count
and a little bit of french 5th
woah what others do you speak?
just these for now
Wow that’s amazing
ty
I only speak one language 💔
that's enough i think
because you speak an international language
it's spoken around the world
I'm trying my best to learn Spanish
(i'm sure he's counting diglossia)
Yes English is the only one I am fluent in but I am a high intermediate in Spanish
you got this Lewis 💪
that's pretty cool 🆒
aha thank you, your English is very good
once you get one down the others in the family are a breeze i figured out a huge chunk of portugues in a matter of only 2 months
Did you learn Spanish in a class @proven shard ? Or is it self study?
thank you so much!!
I find myself being able to read bits and pieces of Portuguese but it's spoken completely differently I find
I'm studying it in highschool 😅
a breeze?? like straightforward??
Yes me too! What year?
yup
S5 (don't know the American equivalent ahahah)
I'll Google it
guys, can we create a group here in discord, no??
yeah but there's rhyme and reason to it all
I think I'd be an 11th grade?
Are you 16/17?
I'm 16 turning 17 in March
Yes then 11th!
I am 17 turning 18 in April so I am in final year
I am a dual enrollment student though I’m not sure if that is a thing in other places?
oh what does that entail?
kind of like involve
college like university?
oh okey! interesting...
because here college and uni are quite different
Hahah yes or demand
Yes!
no problem!
so
دْع
and
ظ
don't even sound similar?
I drive to college
oh that's so cool!
Or uni
It’s okay!! Take your time it is stressful really
yeah!

د
yeah I can't legally start driving till I'm 17 here
do you know of a word that contains دْع?
ik know how they sound separately
Oh that is interesting, you can drive by 15 and get an office id by 16 in many places in America
what that's so early
دعه
so you can drive at 15 but not drink till 6 years later?
Yes America is really massive so people rely on motor transportation
Yes 😂
yeah for me it's kind of an inbetween situation
@wraith totem anything else you wanna know??
Scotland as a whole is good for public transport but if you live rurally it isn't as good
Yes that makes sense, how far out would you say travel is for people in rural areas? It’s okay if you don’t know haha
do you mean like how far is it to get to a city?
Mhm!
for me about 1 ½ hours
and there is no
حَرَكَة
between د and ع in this word?
for others it could be up to 6 hours
Wow! Is that by car as well?
theres not many cities in scotland hahahah
yep
if you live on like Lewis or Shetland it's a loooooong way to a city
especially Shetland
what you mean by movement between those letters??
Yeah America has lots of areas of industrial development
yeah it isn't very easy to do that in the highlands hahaha
6 hours is not too long to me
the 'central belt' is well developed
that there is no unwritten short vowel between the two consonants
6 hours is a long time for me hahaha
that'd almost get me to London
well
not quite
8 hours for London
Yikes!!
do you want me to say it to pronounce it for you??
Your back must have hurt from that lol
yeah no I think there's very few states in scotland that you can travel for 6 hours in
i guess that works too
not even the highlands I don't think
oh yeah it was aching
That’s so cool to think about since it’s not a perspective I commonly understand
yeah our roads are not as good as yours though
i think it's hard for you to pronounce it but i'm pretty sure you can do it
like lots of single track
Some of our roads are horrendous
like ours
there's very few motorways in scotland
Like a rollercoaster
We have motorways for everything
i pronounced this word دعه
@wraith totem
oh yeah we've got our fair share of those
😂
my council area doesn't have any motorways 💔
ik🙃
and you have to get a boat to go to the city
Is it easy to walk certain places? That’s one thing I wish it was easier to do here
or drive around by road for like an additional hour
what's the problem then??
oh yeah like cities and towns are incredibly walkable
So luckyyy
like you can walk to the shops no problem
yeah no I'm in a fairly small town and it's like 5 minutes to the shops
I don't even live in the actual town
That’s so cool
is it دَعُه ؟
it's so interesting finding out about the US vs UK differences
Yes I think a lot of times there is misunderstanding about them
The letter “ع” in this case is silent, not vowelized
I 100% agree
there are definitely stereotypes yeah
I don't hate Americans I'm too busy hating English people 🙏
who do you think has easy vocabulary British or American English? @pseudo pine @proven shard
(jokes)
American probably, British English spelling is a bit trickier I feel
hahaha yes I am jealous of the accent
what haha?
and you'll be exposed to American much more because of the media
of the Scottish accent?
Sometimes it can be but I think English in general is just weirdly complicated at times
then is there a word with دْع ؟
yes its so cool
Hahaha there's more than one too!
thats awesomeeeee
some accents in scotland I can't even understand
like look up a Shetland accent
it's wild
with this دْ or this دَ or this دِ
ok one sec im looking it up rn
fault of the French and out dated phonemic transcription
دْ
THATS COOL
it's like a scots-norse pidgin
I'm about to go down a rabbit hole of Scottish accents hahahah
It is a little hard to understand actually
thats so interesting
yeah pretty much
and no accent marks
yes I know. i meant to ask if there is some word with ـدْعـ
scottish and scouse are the hardest accents to learn/understand, right?
hahaha let me know if you have any questions about them (I'll try my best hehe)
they're certainly difficult, idk if they're the hardest
Yes gonna go silent for a sec im scrolling fr
probably very subjective and based on what you're used to
not hard per say just more deviant from standard varieties
me and my devious accent hehe 😈😈😈
deviance not deviousness
what city?
starting with "دع" or in the middle/ at the end of the word?
to glasgow
glasgow>
yes but with دْ
yeah Glasgow > Edinburgh hahaha
So do you have a Shetland accent @proven shard ?
nooooo I don't live near Shetland at all hahaha
so you mean in the middle and at the end of the word?
SHETLAND MENTIONED??!?!?
only a fistful of people do
i have a shetland accent (sometimes) 😛
ah okkk so what is your accents then? I am asking for all the Scottish people in the chat
are you from there?
you get it?
sorry,
I don't have a particularly strong accent but I live in and grew up in Argyll and Bute
if that was rude! haha
oh cool
How coolll
When you’re in Shetland you get their accent?
yeah
do you fly to Shetland or do you get the boat?
omg have u been to lochgoilhead?
boat
Nick Diaz! respect brother 🥊
yes I have!
i love it there omgggg
209
Taking a boat to certain places is also not too common so that sounds so fun
i want to move there
very jealous
really???
I do the same but with where my father grew up thought it was only I tho
yeah the Shetland ferry is super long isn't it
yhhh its so pretty we always go on like daytrips there
either is fine i just want to hear the two vowel next to each other without any short vowels
Loque or Diaz?
wow that's so nice
15 hours, but one time cause it was a storm we were on it for like 25
lochgoilhead is really not far from where I live
damn the boat I get is only 20 minutes lol
Vincente is good, but I'd say "Nick" everytime bro
oh cool
Me too
But I’m worried bro
I've heard it's really pretty
But he looks in shape on his I sta
yh it isss
Insta
good chippy too
frrr
دُعَاءْ، دَعْم، ودَعَ، يدَع،...إلخ
got to be a classic fish supper
I'm more of a half battered pizza person
i can never finish them thoughhh they r so good
@wraith totem i can pronounce them for you if you want??
I know they're so filling
fish and chips shop
fish and chips
oooooo
often Italian owned in Scotland
but none of those have ـدْعـ with ـدْ 🥲
the ones in england are usually minging compared to here
ethnic food
help my friends italian parents used to own a chippy 😭
i like cornish food
they hit sometimes
the last one can be "يدْعُ" which is the verb form of the first one I typed
@wraith totem
the chippy I usually go to is closed rn
because the owner is back home in Italy getting married
like ugh I want my half battered pizza 😩😩😩
🙏 id die
The variations of English we have throughout the world are so cool tbh
i cant live without my chippy every 2 3 weeks
same omg
there are other chippies in my town but they aren't as good

i'm craving a cooked medium-well steak capped with American cheese!! 😋
can i hear this one?
Cheese on a steak???
yeah sure!!
never had that before
That does not sound good
haha! why?
do you mean like a hamburger?
Sounds like heart attack
that what I assumed
have you guys tried this out? or it's not available in your country?
I've had American cheese before
doesn't taste great
texture is even worse hahahah
ooo hmmm
never seen it before, don't think you get it here
oooh that reminds me
if any of you are ever in scotland
not American cheese! idk how it's called! hold on
you must try Irn Bru
i have it in my fridge
american cheese tastes so bad
idk I feel like maybe I have seen it in cultural grocery stores but the mainstream ones I don't think so
real
how do you call them?
cheese slice
yes hahha
or sliced cheese
what do you think? it would be delicious, no?
but I find sliced cheese is when they aren't wrapped individually
like when it's a packet with multiple slices
I'm not a fan either
Samee
لا سمح الله
i'm not a fan of the one I just sent you specifically
Galloway cheddar >>>
same i like blocks of cheddar
That cheese is good only in hamburger
but i generally love cheese slice
Yes so true and people eat swiss cheese a lot also
have you guys read this book?
I hate blue cheese
yes.
What book?
I assume he's sending a photo
nope never read it ahaha
I love that kind of book
YOU SHOULD
Me neither ; (
It's very psychological
I'm currently trying to force myself to read the Iliad 😭
YOU TOO
most importantly, it's enjoyable!
Idk that book😓😓
Samee
Y...yea.. very enjoyable 😀
im reading because I'm doing Classics in school
So Tu Mu. Li Ch`uan says: "Set fire to the camp, and kill the soldiers" (when they try to escape from the flames).
highlighting words and then learning them is so good
Really? What do talk about?
it's all about the seige of a city called Ilium (it's really boring icl 😭)
Mine is a focus in Neuropsych hbu? Are you just overlooking psychology as a whole? I love it.
But it doesn't really interpret this I think
that's such a good way to learn vocab
I was gonna say that XD
thank you!
Realll
The only books I read nowadays are textbooks ; (
i haven't carried on reading it in a while!
I couldn't even tell you what vouchsafed means 😅
- Sun Tzu said: There are five ways of attacking with fire. The first is to burn soldiers in their camp; the second is to burn stores; the third is to burn baggage trains; the fourth is to burn arsenals and magazines; the fifth is to hurl dropping fire amongst the enemy.
i'm into pdf's recently
me either
English has too many words lol
magine reading guys
Oh... I don't really know what kind of but I like to read how human character and mind I thinks its neuropsych too
Yes is anyone actually fluent? There are too manyyy
in what?
Yes that is really cool!!
English. There are so many words so the word "fluent" is more relative
Its deep
But really I just mean language in general
as a barrel
10/10 would recommend to a friend ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ excellent
you guys are excessively positive!
No no! I am honest
i'm just acting like a restaurant critic
Yes I agree with Lewis
thank you so much ♥️ much appreciated ♥️
I can only dream of someday being as fluent in Spanish as you are in English
agree!
preterite irregulars are really tripping me up rn 😔
but one has to hit the books to get to the level they want
I've got a grammar test on Wednesday
dale tiempo compa
gl lewis!

I have friends doing higher history at the moment and it seems really quite difficult
noice

my Nat 5 history is my biggest flex to date
So how are Spanish classes arranged in Scotland?
im doing chem, bio, english and maths tho

most of it is looking up stuff in the dictionary and guessing what the rest means
too real 😭
wow see even last year we only spoke spanish
got my A1 in Spanish though so it worked hahaha
I stopped speaking english after year 2
woah
im east ren, but my skl is very blatantly the worst one
im jealouss
that makes so much sense that you're east ren
them and East dun are always top schools
If I speak English my grade goes down
wait so youre like assessed by your teacher?
yhh except we went from like top 30 public skl to a top 200 public skl
I think my school is in the 300s 😭😭😭
Yes it is part of our grade
oh wow
our grade just gets assessed from exams
well plus the 'assignment'
which is a weird sperwte thing
thats rough 😭
I am in AP Spanish so we have a large national exam at the end of the year
yeah it's bc like where I am the school can't really be selective
no cause being in east ren kinda sucks cause our skl is tiny compared to the rest of them, so in sport competitions and shit we always come dead last
in my spanish 4 class a year ago there was a kid who still said stuff like no sabo and var
how many people do you have?
abt 600
?!?!
so its not that small for a regular school
Are you guys talking in terms of your year or of kids in your highschool?
the whole school
thats pretty normal
thinking the infinitive of to go was var because of va voy van ect
st ninians has like 2000 💀
that's wilddd
the whole school wow
yeah lol
we have a lot...
there are primary schools in my area with 3 people
its usually an average of 100-150 pupils in 1 year
yeah same here
Spanish teacher are often not strict enough for fear of discouraging people
HELPPPP yh in shetland they had to shut my cousins local skl cause there was a period of time were there was 0 pupils
rimary skl

Wow that is so interesting to me
yeah that happens in argyll and bute too bwhahahaha
😭 🙏
rural Scotland 😍😍😍
my building contains over 4k students...
cldnt be glasgow/east ren 💀
WHATTT
wtfffff
how many years is that 💀
Imagine my surprise to you guys
that's probably the amount of school age children in my whole council area 😭
it is like S4-Higher Ed idk if that is right but it is four grade levels
9th-12th grade students
wow
thats crazy
I think that'd probably be like S3 - S6??
there's only 100 in mine
i struggle to remember all 100 ppl in mine bro
a little over 4k but yes around that number
surely it's just impossible
yeah fr theres no way
I don't I just smile and nod
I can imagine wow
wait so do u have classes with like completely different ppl??
theres like at least 3 ppl in my year who are in every single class i take
Yes many of our classes have even mixed grade levels also
yeah same
and is having that many pupils normal?
there are some people who manage to anonymous in real life
Larger areas but that is not standard
I can't even comprehend a school with 4000 people
that's like half the size of my town
insane
I forget America is huge sometimes
no fr 😭🙏
yes Texas is roughly similar in size to Spain I believe
how do u fit all 4000 ppl on the bus
We have a huge bus system
double buckling
yellow buses everywhere
we have quite a lot of buses here too
and I have to drive behind them
like maybe 6 each morning?
we have 2 for my skl bro
what time does class start for you guys?
because people travel up to 1½ hours each morning
- 45
bell goes at 8.40 but class starts 8.45
ah i see
people here would rather swallow boiling oil than fund public transportation
when are yours?
ahahah rural problems
ofc ofc
7:45 is when the bell rings but kids often get to school at 7 am
damn 7.45 is when my wake up alarm is bwhahaha
I wake up at 5:30ish
also why do people get there so early?
Maybe we get out earlier?
time zones might be off
most people here just get to school when the bell goes
hahahah
like that's when the buses arrive
yeah same wtf
when does school finish for yous?
No I have to find my parking spot
what metropolitan area are you in?
I am in my final year so this does not apply to me but the school bell rings at 2:30
oh yeah that is earlier than us
for me it's 3.45 Mon-Wed and 2.40 Thurs and Fri
oh my that's one of the most interesting maps I've seen
ours is 3.30 mon, tue, thurs and 2.40 wed, fri
Wait so does the whole school have that schedule?
yep whole school had the same times
this is the root of the myth of Spaniards being night owls
ahh so interesting
yepp but in ur last year you get free periods, where u have no class, so then you can sometimes leave early
depending when the free is
yep same here
ohh our whole building leaves at 2:30 all week
although my school now only lets you have 2 home periods per year 😢
How many classes do you guys have?
feels so good when English natives having a conversation!
like how many subjects?
What are home periods>
waiting for a new to me
America has one time zone to itself although it's completely uninhabited
Yes I think so?
word*
when you can go home, like basically free slots in your timetable
this year I have 5
do you leave and go back
with 6 periods of each a week
like a lunch break?
uh no usually like you'd have then first thing in the morning
so you just go into school later
we have 7 periods
only in your final year though
per day?
oo late arrival is what we call it
Mondays and Fridays
its basically just gaps in ur timetable 😭 my friend had all hers halfway through the school day, so shed just need to sit in the toilets
sent you a request @wraith totem
So a timetable is just a schedule correct?
I've heard that Americans have the same timetable everyday?
accepted
is that true
we have 7 monday, tuesday thursday, 6 on a wednesday and friday
whats that?

that does not sound what was written
