INTJ: I just drove a total of 34 hours in the last week to make sure the people i love are safe and that im taking care of them properly.

INTP: See? You are a good person, you do your best-

INTJ: Then why does my family still think im a fucking sociopathic robot?

French Pronunciation

*Ima do my best to explain all this but im not a linguist*

-Hard to pronounce-

-Consonants-

The R to me is further back in the throat and less forceful/harsh than my American English R. If you’re struggling with it my best advice is to try and say r and h at the same time, but honestly it’s kinda like whistling; no one can teach you, you just gotta keep tryin’ to figure it out.

I feel like the J is super easy? Like it’s the j in jacques, you can do it I promise.

-Vowels-

French just has like five more vowel sounds than English that all just sound like fancy Us to me?

This is where my own personal accent is the worst honestly.

*puts on glasses* according to my research-

IPA: /ø/

English: closest is bird in a Geordie accent (if you’re american, think the beatles, but like in italics)

French: peu, vœu

IPA: /y/

English: like few in a scottish accent

Round your lips, Tongue is arched and high

French: tu, chutes

IPA: /œ/

English: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

French: jeune, soeur

If you know German, Schön, Hölle

-easy to pronounce but written different-

Ch in French = Sh in English

I in French = ee in English

ui = ee

ou = wuh

-é (and er if it’s at the end of the word) = ay as in may

H = silence

Th= t

que- often replaces -ck, or -c like music vs musique, mock vs moque, etc.

-word endings-

I don’t know the best way to explain this, but unless the word ends in a vowel the end of the word will not be pronounced or will be pronounced much softer than in English.

If the word ends in -x, -ot, -at, -et the last consonant is silent

If it ends in -nt -on, -nan ummm probably others, it’s just slightly pronounced. Listen to a native speaker say it and then copy them as best you can.

Exeptions

Fils (son)- sounds like feece

The third person plural verb ending ‘-ent’ is not pronounced so, the only difference between il danse and ils dansent pronunciation is that you hit the final e of ils dansent a little harder.

So effectively-

Il danse, ils danse

-Liasons-

French words that start with vowels hold hands with the last consonant from the word before

´C’est une pomme’ when spoken is gonna sound like ‘say tune pomme’ to English ears

‘Les animaux’ will sound like ‘lay zanimo’ to English ears.

-fin-

For @intpugs !

What do you see as the biggest difference between INTJ/INTP? I'm a big self-starter, I'm usually pretty objective and recognize my own possible biases, I don't desire to hurt people's feelings but I do it on accident bc of my dark sense of humor, however, I definitely have a very light-hearted goofy nature and I've read that INTPs can appear like ESFPs when they're in "party mode" which is also true of me. I probably am more of an Se user but I also think I'm more of an Fe user, so idk.

Based on the INTPs and INTJs who I know... I think that INTJs are more conscious and determined of what they want than INTPs. And I know very very indecisive INTJs, But this was because the INTJ didn’t want to impose her preferences (which she knew) on someone else... so she pretended like she wasn’t sure, and hinted for us to go in her direction. 

The INTPs I know are rather wishy-washy and can be more affected in their personal beliefs than INTJs, though they struggle less with the conundrum of how they affect others or how others affect them. 

INTJs have a bigger ego. They tend to think that they’re right, and they’ll go on and on about how they came to whatever thought. INTPs can be pretty ego-y also but it’s less obvious--they’re quicker to second-guess themselves than INTJs are. Both can be quite condescending, very direct. Neither are known particularly for being strong Fe users, though it’s the last one in the INTP cognitive stacking... that doesn’t really mean much though in application. 

The wording of your ask would actually make me guess INTJ, but it’s probably impossible to tell with just this.

@intpugs replied to your post “would you recommend collies as service dogs, or is it more of a...”

I wasn't the person who asked this, but I have noticed rough collies being used particularly for vehicular support and if that's what they're needed for in this situation, then there are definitely breeders out there. Kings Valley has some idk who else does (I should have bookmarked them). I think some of the breeders I looked at were raising SDs or planning on itWhat are your thoughts on border collies or GSDs as SDs?

i do know breeders out there other than kings valley, that would meet the requirements i recommended in this post, but i tend to only give out breeder recs over DM. most collie sd’s i know of are for mobility and/or psychiatric work. i don’t think service work is really the place border collies excel... , they have the same problems as rough/smooth collies as being very sensitive and alert, but while collies have the benefit of being tempered by a calmer disposition, borders are very wired, which makes them excellent for many sports, but doesn’t really lend to making a good service dog for full time public access work. gsds would be more likely to succeed than a border collie, but you have you be VERY careful looking for a breeder, and a suitable dog, and it’s important to have breed experience first as well. most gsd handlers i know about don’t recommend gsds to others.  i hope this sounds fair. i might not have the most nuanced advice surrounding these breeds’ strengths and weaknesses (i really don’t like them) so if these are breeds you’re seriously considering for service work, it’s better to talk to people who own them. there are definitely folks out there who can provide a more full bodied run down on these breeds.

I made a personal blog!

  So now you can officially stop being annoyed if you’re only here for MBTI. If you like seeing the other stuff in my brain, you can go to @stevefroggers (named ofc, after Steve Rogers). Thank you for liking what I do, even when it’s weird stuff that no one really understands.

@intpugs replied to your post “I'm thinking about adopting either a Collie (still undecided btwn...”

But collies are probably my preferred breed in terms of personality so I've just been trying to figure out if having a guard dog would even matter since I've always had labradors as family dogs

i think that your concern about whether or not a collie could handle living in the city is completely valid, and honestly i couldn’t give you a definitive answer on whether an adult rescue collie could handle it, it would all depend on the individual dog. i think with time and training, the right collie could settle in well. if guard ability is significant to you, a collie will definitely let you know if anyone is around your apartment, even tho i think it’s unlikely a collie would deliver a civil bite, they’d probably bark while just getting out of the way lol. i do feel safer with my collies around, smooths especially are a good visual deterrent, and, mainly fox, will make a real show if anyone is sulking around our yard at night.  i’m always up for being honest about collies, it’s important to make the right decision, buuuuut.... i’m totally biased and of course i think you should get a collie :B

�� you're the best! I've contacted some people to get in touch with breeders, bit I'm looking all over to get more input and get a feel. Thank you so much

I appreciate your bias, while all dogs are beautiful collies really take the cake inside and out. I love seeing your dogs on my dash btw they always make me happy!

you’re welcome! i’m so glad i got the change to talk to both of you! let me know if you ever have any more questions, and i’ll do my best to answer. collies are my passion, i’m always excited to learn more and share what i’m discovering!
