this is better ? yes i think so

i feel like the reason i don’t use this blog a lot anymore is because of the name ..? like i just can’t come up with something that feels perfect to me so i basically cringe everytime i come on this app

[lafilledanslaville]

i was practicing my tenses in french and told my boyfriend to give me a verb and he gave me étudier and i went to do it in imperfect and had a little brain fart until i looked it up…

double i??????

i know it makes sense and it follows the pattern but i don’t think i ever realized this 😭 it seems so weird to my brain

can you tell the difference between étudions/étudiez and étudiions/étudiiez when speaking?

trying to brush up on my french skills before i get there and turns out i can’t differentiate any tenses other than present and passé composé so that’s really good…

the reason trump demanding the EU buys american cars is ridiculous. americans out there might be used to cars like the ford F150

in some EU countries this requires a licence higher than a car to even drive due to its size but could you imagine driving this mfer around these streets

you might say oh thats a backroad, be fair well alright

the fact of the matter is these cars aren't being bought in europe because they are just not practical to drive in most of europe. forget licencing and fuel cost aside (the cost of petrol is MUCH higher in europe than the US and they guzzle fuel)

they are just impractical for daily use

all of those above examples were for italy, which fair enough ok. let's have a look at a much more car dependant country, like the UK

this is a fairly average street in the UK. where the HELL would you park that beast and you would struggle to get it even down the road. the EU isn't not buying american made cars because they're suppressing the US market, there is just little to no demand for US style cars
