*by younger, I mean they weren't musically conscious (aka alive) in the 80's and 90's.

Many of my younger years' hit groups are getting remastered editions of their albums. From 40 to 25 years ago. It's a blast. The most amazing edition probably Erasure's "From Moscow to Mars".

When I listen to Depeche Mode, Erasure, C.C. Catch, The Communards... there's the enjoyment of the tune but also the memories it carries with it. So, people who doesn't have that emotional connection may find it just... what?

Listening back to many songs I realize the primitive synth technology makes it sound like an 8bit computer, or an 80's B-Movie space fight.

Hallo zusammen.

I've been following the Deustche Welle German course and recently started the VHS (volkshochschule), funded by the ministry of something in Germany.

In the DW course as well as most dictionaries (langenscheidt, DWDS) the "g" in words like:

fertig, ledig, richtig

...is articulated as /ç/, which I believe is the standard.

However in the VHS course is somewhat prevalent to hear it as /k/ as if it were in Freitag.

Is this equally accepted (as standard)? Is it a way to ease new students into German pronunciation (which I doubt, it would be counterproductive)?

I thought it would be a more Northern feature, as Dutch has plenty of -k endings, but apparently is more promi

I'm doing my weekly Swedish stuff (my daily being German).

Sometimes when I finish a lesson, I get randomly pushed forward a couple of step-stones or, as right now, half a unit. Has anyone been experiencing this, in Swedish or other courses?

I checked, and the course length is the same (55 units).

For context, I'm acing the content (Swedish grammar is, say, scarce when compared to German). Is that a new thing that if you do well, it pushes you forward?

Hello community,

I work as a consulting architect, and work comes and goes; nowadays most likely goes. I've also used photography constantly for over 2 decades for my studies, work and pleasure, investing significantly in equipment, which now includes perspective correction lenses, wide angle lenses, medium-format bodies, etc. I also did some filming and graphic novel, with awards on both areas.

I'm thinking on shifting partly (or eventually fully) my career towards architectural photography, but I never used it as a main source of income apart from being part of specific jobs, for which I apply as openings are offered.

I have a couple of doubts for which the community may share some ligh

I've recently read experiences of people here learning (Romance) conjugations through flashcards. The concept felt extremely alien to me, and I had never considered that possibility when giving people advice. But nothing as alien as just trying to learn one particular form when hearing it for the first time, and then repeat it in a case by case.

Romance speakers acquire much of it naturally, and children's speech is famous and adorable for trying to correct/regularize irregular verbs. Still, a great deal of it comes later in life through instruction.

Spanish is the Romance with the most tenses, and by far the one that uses more different tenses in regular speech. We study verbs up to abou

Hello! I've been having this doubt for years and hope someone could enlighten me once and for all.

In the Movie Bridget Jones's Diary, Bridget is starting to write in his notebook "Diary of Bridget Jones", to then strikethrough and rewrite "Bridget Jones's Diary". What is the difference? Is it that significant?

Thanks in advance.

I love to play in the Indian subcontinent for its variety of paths, flavor...and music. I think I will share some tips for people who still hasn't play there, or that may not know about them.

By far the nation I played the most is Sirhind, since I can choose every religion in the vicinity (Sunni, Shia, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh) and every formable end-game nation in the subcontinent (Hindustan, Bharat, ... and Mughals).

You can form Mughals by switching primary culture to Afghan (or others) but with Sirhind there is an almost instant option. First, obviously, end Delhi... and become Delhi for the free cores. They may ally Bengal or Sindh, or, if lucky, Nagaur and Mewat, your soon to be fi

There is a great divide in Spain that dates back to the times of the Reconquista, and has to do with the distribution of land and other shenanigans. In short, it is a extremely liberal country with a strong Anarchist tradition. Problem is, a tiny proportion of extremely conservative landholders usually control most of the power and influence over people. If they don't: Coup. If it doesn't work: Civil War. And no one does anything about it except Hitler, wh

Although the medieval setting of A Song of Ice and Fire has been compare to European-like historical events (i.e. War of the Roses), both the overall history and the current status of the seven kingdoms have strong similarities with the ancient world, around the time of the Graeco-Persian wars:

The Andals (Dorian Greeks) came by sea and conquered Westeros (Greece), introducing writing, metallurgy and the Faith of the Seven (the Indo-European pantheon).

Other Andal (Ionian Greeks) free cities remained in Essos (Asia), like Braavos, Volantis and Pentos (Troy, Miletus, Ephesus), developing a culture of great philosophers, artists and merchants.
