  1. Good #Edinburgh things: today, the cherry blossom is out, and so is this new track from Boards of Canada 😍

    Inspired by @brianbilston I tried to turn this post into a Haiku but find myself defeated by the impossibility of determining how many syllables there are in the word Edinburgh.

  5. Noticing someone with a double-barrelled last name and long first name.

    Made me remember a person I met with a triple hyphenated last name! Must've been tough to wield day-to-day!

    For your regular every-day name, eg introducing yourself (not your full legal name) how many syllables does it take to say it?

  7. 🔥 Germany's latest "freedom" move: slap a hefty €8,400 fine for a few pesky #syllables. Maybe they should fine themselves for the 403 Forbidden error instead—because nobody wants to read that either. 😂🚫

    en-shit-ti-fi-ca-tion its got more #syllables that some of the phrases (they dont really speak in complete sentences) used by #conservatives.

    Its important that we teach our young correct spelling, dont want them to grow up spelling like a conservative.

  11. In my books and courses, you're not just learning words; you're embracing the essence of Hebrew by mastering the perfect pronunciation and intonation. This could not be more important, because in Hebrew, like in the words "rice" and "packing" (present tense, singular masculine), the stress on different syllables completely changes the meaning of the word. And these words are not a single case. Far from it!

    That's where my PSP (Phonetic System for Pronunciation) comes into play. It's a game-changer in language learning. I've designed this system to guide you effortlessly through the nuances of Hebrew pronunciation. How?

    By marking the stressed syllable with a ' sign. It makes it crystal clear which syllable should be emphasized. This "small" detail makes a massive difference in ensuring you’re understood correctly, sound just like a native speaker, and most importantly - say the right word.
