Ik heb nodig van motivatie. Ik moet twee opstel schrijven maar het wordt moelijk omdat ik geen meer motivatie heb. Two rules that are always true: 1) SUBJ + [hebben] + (...) + nodig. Like, Ik heb (een nieuwe groene pen met inkt die niet uitloopt) nodig. Everything goes in between hebben and nodig. ...

I do think a lot of English speakers aren't aware that there are two distinct sounds indicated by <th>. While they are contrastive in most environments, the distinction has a very low functional yield. I commented on a YouTube video the other day how I thought it was weird that the guy pronounced '...

I don't imagine any of the traditional Miott dances to look anything like break dancing, so if I had to borrow the word, it would either just be breakdance , or pricdans , which would both be pronounced /ˈpɾiɡdɪns/.

Yeah, I didn't think he'd be satisfied with a poorly functioning phone for too long. I understand, haha.

That's really nice of your professor, by the way! And you'll learn HTML in no time. It's not particularly hard and it can easily be visualized.

* Onder is indeed used for 'while', but here I'd prefer 'bij'. Onder implies that something was done at the same time as the act of writing, and not something that happened as a consequence. I don't know that use of "onder", can you give an example? I could use it in limited cases, e.g. "onder Napo...

.My husbands iPhone broke this week too. The home button stopped functioning. Apparently we have no luck with buttons. That's a pretty common problem.

A washboard is a wooden frame with horizontal, often metal ridges which you rub clothes up against. I've never used one, and they look like they'd tear up your clothes, but they must work, because that's what people use(d).

In a more general way there is the issue of how do I deal with anhedonia, i.e. how do I make myself do things I neither need nor want to do?

I'm in Venice, for a three day trip with my wife. However, today it's raining non stop. We're stuck in our hotel room. We planned another walk through the city, but it seems that won't happen.
