The s in « s’appelle » is the (reflexive) pronoun « se », whereas the t in « t’appelles » is « te ». It’s the difference between “what does he call himself” and “what do you call yourself.”

The Quebec thing would be « comment tu t’appelles-tu ? » where the second « tu » is a question marker, not a pronoun (but also I don’t think I’ve ever heard that form used for this question).

Ive been learning French for about two years now. Consuming media in the target language is good but… there is no substitute, none, for actively having conversations in the target language every day. Seek out a conversation partner! Personally, I moved (coincidentally, lol) to a Canadian French city about a year after I started learning the language. I regularly speak French with people I’ve met there.

I’ve seen many polyglots practice speaking languages on ome(dot)tv, though I can’t personally say whether it’s effective.

This makes sense, but I interpreted it initially as “here’s RIF, and here’s Reddit’s app” “oh wait, they don’t have one worth looking at.”

Incidentally I just checked and noticed that defaulting to new reddit is still listed as a “beta” option in preferences, and is checked by default. I can only assume this is to hide the option.

Probably goes without saying, but, I’m here from Reddit. After just over 13 years there, seeing the slowly declining quality of posts and information, I’m hopeful that a smaller de-/less- centralized community-of-communities can give the old reddit experience :) And even if it can’t, any new experience will be great!

I’m mostly a programmer/gamer, studying for my MSc in computer science, but I’m thinking I might switch to a hybrid compsci/hardware topic for a PhD (something like static guarantees in HDLs is very interesting to me, but idk yet). I also quite like billiards and have been trying hard to learn French for about 2 years now.

hehe ;)

If you consider BotW as having a strong narrative, you will very much enjoy TotK.
