Does listening to music in another language helps?

I don’t want to throw flowers to myself, but I think I’m pretty good at language learning. I picked up English in three months when I was 6 (so it’s not my first language), and can understand pretty much everything in Dutch, Italian and Spanish (TL). In a few years, I’d like to go in Latin America for an internship, and I’d have to be fully fluent in Spanish.
I’ve heard that listening to music in the target language does help, but I’ve also heard that it does nothing to help and it’s a scam. Any thoughts about this? Is it worth the try?

Is this a birthmark or something else?

I’ve had this mark on the back of my ankle for quite a while now, but I don’t recall having it when I was really young.
It certainly does look like a birthmark but I wonder if there is a more specific name for this. Sometimes it’s even more vivid, but when I pass my finger on it, it disappear for a few seconds then come back (see on the third photo when I touched it). It never hurt or anything so I think it’s benign.
Any idea of what this might be?

What hair color should I get?

(Base photo at the end)
For a while, I dyed my hair copper-ish and I really liked it, because I think my natural hair color is way too dark. I tried on filters on some website and would like some advice! I really like the reddish blonde but idrk if that could suit me irl.

I’m really insecure about my whole face and body, so my hair has been pretty much holding up my confidence. But when I went to the hair stylist to dye my hair back because of the regrowth, she decided that she didn’t like the copper and dyed it back brown and now my hair is all dry and frizzy…

Why do I feel nothing?

I’m not sure this is the right subreddit to post this to but I kinda need to get this off my chest. A few months ago, my grandpa’s health crashed. Turned out he has like 4 different cancers and every possible problem an elderly person could have.

These past few months have been pretty… difficult I’d say? My mother goes to help my grandparents multiple times a week, considering they live alone and my grandmother really is of no help at all, since she is practically deaf and doesn’t understand half of what we say to her. I won’t go into further details about that, but it’s clear that my grandfather won’t live to see the end of summer.

But I just… can’t feel sad for a reason. It just makes me uneasy when my mother brings it up that he doesn’t even remember her. Plus, a few weeks ago I found a paper on the table, stating that he probably will be e*thanized. And I felt nothing but guilt. Like, why do I not feel sad that he’s dying?

Do I buy the DND Game master handbook or save up money for shopping on vacation?

Pretty trivial I know, but these two options have the same budget (50-60€). I told myself I would buy the DND book if I passed my economy class (which I did lol), but I’m going on a vacation in a month and don’t know if I should buy the book of save money for my trip.
Help 🫠

[Acne] How can I get rid of those chin pimples?

This past few months I’ve had a few bad breakouts, but it’s ALWAYS on my chin. Always like 99% of the time. I have a lot of acne spots and scars, and it’s really messing with my self confidence. I don’t have access to a lot of medication/skincare products easily, so I’m trying to regulate my lifestyle. Tomorrow I’m going to a huge mall and will try to find some products to help clear it out. Any recommendations? I have a mixed skin, tends to feel very dry and textured.

My routine is pretty simple :
Caudalie Vinopure
Cicaplast Baume B5+

Please help 🥲

I don’t see a lot of people talking about the fantastic music this game has, Hoyo-mix might be my top 1 artist on Spotify wrapped this year lol. I’m curious to see what other players think abt the music !

How do I get past the sketch?

I’ve already posted on here about getting a honest review, and I’m so glad they were positive :D!
Now I have another isssue… I struggle a lot with the coloring and rendering, due to it not corresponding to my messy artstyle. Using the « technique » (in quotes because I never know what I’m doing), it looks… flat. And lifeless. I’ve searched for tutorials on YouTube… Pinterest… but they’re all meh.

I’m looking for something, tips, tutorials that could help me and my art!

(I know the signatures on the two drawings aren’t the same, I just don’t sign everything the same way, one is my name and the other my ig account)

Can you give a honest review about my drawing/artstyle?

I came back to drawing after a hugeeee break (2 year long artblock). I’m finally back at it, and something feels a little off, especially with the face. I always struggle a bit with faces, especially with angles and eyes placement.

Can anybody give a brutally honest opinion or advices about the face? (Not fishing for compliments!)

Should I just stop talking to my « friends »?

So this year was my first year of uni, and we even had our last exam today so our year is officially finished.

Throughout middle and high school, I’ve always had a problem making friends. I tend to be very shy around people I don’t know.
I had a best friend during highschool but we eventually just… stopped talking to one another last year, final year of highschool. No problem because I had other friends, who are now I’d say like … my « main friend group » who I really love but since uni started, we barely see each other.

On the first day of uni, I met my new best friend, who really is like the love of my life friendship wise, this issue is we don’t see each other often due to us being in different studies sections so very different schedules. But I also met another group of girl from my section. They were fun, but the thing is… I always felt left out no matter what. I just felt like I was never really part of the group.

The thing is they always text each other about basically everything. They were many times were I didn’t know what they were referring to when they talked about an inside joke I wasn’t a part of. Times were they apparently saw each other outside of uni without telling me… But I know they don’t « hate » me or think I’m boring or not part of the group. I’m just… there. We laugh when we’re together, but outside school? Nothing. Nothing except asking for my notes lol.

I know I’m kind of describing this situation like I’m a poor victim and they’re the mean girls but that’s not really it. I truly consider them as my friends, but as someone who’s been left out all her childhood, idk how much more I can tolerate. Summer break just started, and I feel like we won’t talk at all all summer, and that when school starts again next September, we’ll act like nothing happened.

Idk if I should just stop doing the effort and let go, even if it means hurting their feelings…
