@sarahbecan I just had to imagine a kid being born in December of 1999 wishing their parents had waited a few weeks longer, so he has an easier time stating when he was born in French class.

(being a person learning Swedish born on a 27th, one of the worst numbers to pronounce in Swedish)

@sarahbecan I'm actually learning french, but I don't I have it ez since I kinda have to learn using sources written in my second language, which is fine, because my english is pretty good

In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is:

"La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera."

or:

"The right oppresses, the left liberates."

(Now I kind of want to put this on a t shirt)

@sarahbecan spanish doesn't use that phrase like "rightie tightie..." that's a purely political mnemonic.

Not sure what spaniard told you that, but it's definitely not true.
