The words "crevasse" and "crevice" both come from the Old French verb crever, which means "to break or burst". The main difference between the two words is the size of the opening they refer to.
But they are similar because of the etymological origin.
Crevice = smol crack
Crevasse = massive crack

** the basics on phonetics were touched on very briefly in a very accessible and easy to understand way, it was more of a superficial topic rather than an actual class of phonetics, which wouldn't make sense for someone just starting out.

Regarding phonetics and phonology, we went over some basics such as a tones and word stress, in order to help her achive a natural rythm and cadence when speaking this new lanuage, as well as helping her practice hearing things the way she would in real life scenarios.

I will continue to plan an A1-A2 course for her, with focus on daily social interactions, practicing listening comprehension as well as working on speaking and of course using exercises to re-train the vocal muscles in order to achive correct tongue positioning in the mouth and thus good phonology.

BUT since I only have 3 finals to sit now, I thought wth? Why not?! So I said yes - and today, we had our first class!!
It went so well. She told me she needed to start from the beggining so we did, starting with some basic grettings and manners, this is very important since she's in Ireland now.

She texted me saying she wanted to have lessons with me again because she liked the way I taught 😭
It had been a while since the last time I did tutoring because I have been focusing on uni for the past 2 years.

yes I was wondering if there was like a "one word" translation like we were looking for "hygge" - I think ideas can be explained and translated to another language but I think that's different from having a direct, equivalent, single-word translation which would need a linguistic connection "bts"

No, it's the act of having a conversation on the table for a long period of time after a meal over, it's a very common thing in South American and maybe the rest of LATAM but idk that tbh
