It’s also a good way to get familiar with a very useful word in the French language: Help! ( Au secours). One of our favourite French jokes about words, this joke is a brilliant way to break the ice when talking to other language lovers. But I can scream “help” in eight languages”. One of them asks: “Do you know how to swim?” And the other one responds: “No. Mais je peux crier ‘Au secours’ en huit langues’ L'un d'eux demande : “Savez-vous nager?” Et l'autre répond : “Non. Spoken in good French, the letters “A, G” sound exactly like the word “âgé” which literally means “aged.” Do you see why these letters just have to be the oldest in the French ABC?ĭeux traducteurs sont à bord d'un navire.

However, if you’re talking about food, “purée” also means mashed potatoes. It’s an expression that people use to express shock. On the one hand, exclaiming “ Oh purée” is like saying “Oh my goodness!”. What you need to know to understand this joke: In French, the word purée has two meanings. One of them was run over and the other one exclaimed “Oh purée!” L'une a été écrasée et l'autre s'est exclamée "Oh purée!" Though this might take a little practice, learning how to effectively tell French jokes is a fun, purposeful way of learning big chunks of the French language.

The last ‘instead’ is more relaxed and heady so she uses a modification that sounds something like ‘instay-aee.’ The break in the word and the softened “d” in “instead” give it a broken quality that highlights the emotional pitch of the song at this point, making sound more fragile and vulnerable.The first ‘instead’ is close to ‘instad’ (‘tad’) which makes it easier to put chest into the word.‘Sometimes’ is close to ‘seuhm-tahms’ for similar reasons as above.‘Said’ is close to ‘sayeed,’ and that thinner ‘ee’ sound tends to be easier to control in that three-note lick.‘R’ is softened at the end of the word to sound closer to ‘remimbuh.’ The sound keeps your larynx from pulling in the same way the ‘eh’ sound does. ‘Remember’ is close to ‘remimber'(‘bit).Secondly, in a more utilitarian way, it keeps Adele from having to close the word off- something that causes more tension than necessary in the throat. First, it offers a more relaxed, poppy feel to the song. Dropping the ‘t’ also serves a few purposes. Especially when singing these high notes, the fewer consonants you get bogged down in, the better. In ‘forget’ she drops the ‘r’ and the ‘t.’ The ‘r,’ even if you aren’t British is a very common consonant to either drop or soften when singing, because it tends to sound harsh, swallow the sound, and tense the larynx and tongue.It isn’t a traditional modification I’d use in a pop song, but it works well in this context. The ‘downt’ lends a more open sound than ‘don’t’ would. ‘Don’t’ should have an ‘ow’ in it so it’s closer to ‘downt.’ Even though Adele has an incredibly strong voice, she actually approaches this section with more head tones than you’d expect-It’s definitely not an all out belt.This brightens the sound and makes it easier to access a deeper, chesty voice without tension. ‘Best’ should have a hint of a ‘a’ (‘cat’).This will thicken the sound, and lower the larynx. ![]() ‘The’ should have some ‘oo'(‘soot’) sound in it.The usual tendency of people is to modify ‘I’ into a southern-sounding ‘ah,’ but this modification goes even further, and allows you to access more chest than the vowel ‘ah’ would. Put a little ‘a'(‘cat’) into all of the ‘I’s.If you see “‘a’ (‘cat’)” it just means the ‘a’ sound you hear in the word ‘cat.’ of course, if you live in the Deep South, England, or Minnesota, you might have to think about how a Californian would pronounce the word. ![]() Since most of you probably don’t know linguistic symbols, I’m going to follow each vowel I write with a common word in which the vowel sound appears. ![]() Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead” “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, So let’s just look at the Chorus as it’s written: You can get away with fudging the verses, but you’re going to sound like a baby bird if you try to fudge the chorus. Like I said before, there are a ton of modifications you can make to better emulate Adele’s style, but most of the instant gratification is going to come from focusing on the chorus. Part of Adele’s smokey appeal is built into her biologically, but part of it is the way she modifies vowels to get power in the most economical way possible. For untrained singers, the section tends to either sound shrill or weak.Īnother more generally pervasive problem is students not getting the depth or power in their voice that they want. Everything tends to run relatively smoothly until the middle of the chorus: “don’t forget me, I pray…” At this point, the high C# on “Don’t Forget me,” not to mention the high E on “I” tend to be too high for a lot of girls to comfortably sing with a chesty sound. ![]() “The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure.

He will knock you right through the door and you can go back to Vulgrim. Keep your back against the door and wait for the Stygian to come right at you. You will jump off Ruin and have control of Ruin. After removing the Stygian's helmet, ride Ruin to the closed doorway during the battle. If you screw up and knock off the helmet, you can exit the battle. Repeat the process and the maxed out Chaoseater will be yours. The Stygian will sink under the sand and resurface. Equip Combat Lore to increase the experience you get from each strike Bloodthirt will replenish your health. Do not strike the helmet or it will break off and the Stygian will attack. After the Stygian frees itself, ride along side the Stygian and strike its body. Begin the battle with the Stygian by killing phantom guard soldiers while riding Ruin.

Defeat them and your next opponents will be one Shield Lord and four low-level soldiers. When you get across, you will first be ambushed by a Rot Mauler and a Shield Lord. In The Black Throne, on the way to the Third Guardian, you will approach a bridge with spinning portals (The Black Throne, The Third Guardian III).

Side note: I have been in contact with my doctors about these issues and while this is definitely not normal, it is expected while on this medication. And I'm still not sure how to takle the first two days after dose. If I an feeling very nauseous I'm not going to eat. I also have to remind myself to eat as i don't get any hunger signals anymore. But everything has to be in smaller quantities than I'm normally used to. I am going to try to incorporate more fiber into the diet too. Fruit is also a concern as they have upset my stomach if eaten closer to dosing time rather than a few days after. Sugary items are only to be eaten in moderation and small quantities. Trying to figure out what works well into my diet, especially on the first few days after taking a dose, and dealing with nausea is a challenge. So far I have noticed that again if I eat "too much" the next day I will pay the price. Week 4: This week is almost halfway done. However I did have a slight constipation issue earlier in the week too. I took breakfast to go, and ended up eating it later.Īs the week went on my appetite and digestion improved. 25 dose, I woke up with extreme nausea, and was unable to keep my breakfast down. This week, less than 24hours after taking my. I usually have quick oats and for breakfast and coffee. However it has still not been an easy road. Week 3: I begin to realize that the first couple of days after I take the dose I have to be careful of what I'm eating and how much I eat. Later that week it appeared that my digestion had gone back to normal and I wasn't dealing with as much nausea. I added some Pepto-bismol to my relief kit and a box of electrolyte mix ins. It didn't occur to me that this was the drug reacting and actually I had just been eating too much. The nausea was way worse and I had diarrhea and vomiting issues that night. It worked and I went about my day at work and continued as normal, until that night I felt really bad. I also took a Zofran, to help with the nausea. I did not notice anything till the following Monday when I woke up with bad nausea, I thought maybe I needed some breakfast and ate the rest of the pozole. It was probably too heavy, and oily, for my now slower and more sensitive digestive system. I probably ordered the wrong thing (pozole). Week 3: The day after I took the medication (Sat night) I celebrated with family on Sunday night. I noticed slight nausea if I ate too much but it subsided quickly. Week 1 & 2: I noticed my hunger and need for food had disappeared. ![]() (Warning might be TMI, but I think this is helpful, for people looking into side effects). I do not have any diabetes or am pre diabetic to my knowledge. Then to assist with the weight loss I was prescribed Ozempic. I incorporated more fiber rich foods and cut out most dairy products, due to lactose intolerance. I have since changed my living situation and diet, to go back to my normal habits (eating during the day and less at night, lunch being my biggest meal). Mostly due to a toxic relationship that was overindulgent in fast food and late night eating. Previous to starting this medication, I had gained a lot of weight from 2020 to 2021 during the pandemic. ![]() I'm still on the 0.25 dose as my body has not gotten used to it, and I didn't feel comfortable going up to the next dose level.
