Just speak in any of the languages. Improvisation. I’m fluent in all apart from Italian. 🤓. In Math I have to solve a problem and present it, and in French it’s text analysis, also presented. How are your exams? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I did well. I get the results from the Board of Accountancy in a few weeks.

TheSwissAquarist Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 Gold Endlers be breeding like crazy. I’m toying with the idea of putting some in a pond. Maybe along with a couple of nano fish? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos 👏 Most days I’m thrilled I can form an articulate English sentence 🤣 Adorable babies. I speak potato. Before my TBI and stroke, I spoke passable "travel" (be polite, find the bathroom, ask for directions, don't starve) in several languages. Took Spanish in elementary, Spanish and French in middle, and Mandarin in highschool. Learned Vietnamese from school friends, as well as a little Thai. Smattering of Diné, Tsalagi, and Salish. Learned Russian and Kazakh from a college kid I tutored. I'm still regaining my English skills, and have to regularly search for "the right word" when I am talking. Speech to text is pretty hilarious from me sometimes. On 6/2/2023 at 1:35 PM, TheSwissAquarist said: My LFS has just informed me that a large shipment of splash tetras has arrived.

I also get that. You know when you have the perfect word in one language and struggle to find an equally perfect translation? Torro just passed away. He had some things in his gills…looked a bit like this: sort of red and inflamed. On my way to the LFS to check out the splash tetras! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 The Cory fry are doing well, and they’ve also started looking like their mum and dad. Hayfever and Ich stopped me from getting Splash tetras 😭. An entire hour on the bus for nothing. Spent the rest of the day revising and rescaling the 63 gallon I need something to fill in the cracks, something green which grows fast. Any ideas? @Mmiller2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot,.most Rotala should do well also. Edited June 3, 2023 by Mmiller2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
