If you're studying Japanese, lang-8 is the perfect site for that.

Spanish speaker here. I would like to acquire a nice british accent while I learn the language.
Personally I'd love to get a pure RP accent, or a mix of RP and whatever is this called (Ciri's accent, the girl):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNzre4FifXM
By "Received Pronunciation" I mean something like Ian Mckellen or Stephen Fry, and by "whatever is this called" not sure if it's called Southern, West Country or Essex.
Perhaps I didn't searched enough, but is not that easy to find resources (audio, media, books) for this specific accents.
Could you help me?

Listen to BBC Radio 4 as much as you can, ideally when you're doing household chores and the like. A majority of the accents are RP some of the content is really interesting, while some of it is incredibly boring.

I heard that Radio 4 is now a multicultural place that left aside RP to make it more commercial.

Hi /adv/. I'm not sure if this belongs on /fa/ more than here, that said, i'm sure you guys get tons of dumb health questions, but unfortuantely i've got to contribute as I figured someone here might be a bit more worldly in their knowledge and be able to help me.
I have pretty severe dry hands. I worked out on an oil rig for the better part of 20 years. I now work in an environment with hazmat stuff, and i'm washing my hands pretty much constantly. Needless to say, my hands are REALLY dry, fingers are cracked and they're starting to get bloody, which is a really bad thing when you're working with medical waste.
I've come to ask if anyone here might have an idea on how to fix my problem. I've tried some of the following:
New, more organic and less harsh soaps (more natural stuff, less chemicals), it worked to make my hands softer but my fingers are still dry and cracked, so it's not really much.
I used lotion for a while, but it seemed to make it worse, I think I may have been allergic or sensitive to something in that particular brand though.
I've tried using a variety of hand creams from a bunch of different companies, brand name stuff too, but it doesn't do much to help me as i'm washing so often I think it's just getting washed off before it seeps into my skin and moisturizes it.
I've also been sleeping with socks on my hands for a while, it really helps, but I still need to try and fix this in a more permanent way, so if anyone here has any ideas, i'm all ears, thanks in advance.

There's a cream out specifically for dry cracked hands. Don't remember the name of it though. And I would say lotion but I guess that's not working for you.
>>
>>17136049
I've tried a bunch of those creams, from companies like nivea, and a brand called o'keeffe's working hands, which was advertised to fix the problem I have. It's what I use currently, overnight with socks on my hands so I don't end up rubbing it all over my face while I sleep, but it only does some much, i'm sure there must be something a bit stronger, or some homeopathic remedies someone has up their sleeve.

I'm a fucking idiot, but I did it all because I love her.
Was I wrong? I don't know.
I KNOW I made mistakes, but I just wish she had forgiven me.
I have been doubting my self worth because of this.
I gave into her head games and now I don't understand where it all went wrong.
I'm confused.

Girls don't act this way with guys they like OP. You are a play thing for her. Best thing to do is just block her and never talk with her again. You two can never be friends due to all this drama bullshit and you being so emotional about her.
Talk with other girls, once you get with a few you'll forget about her.
>>
>>17135946
You don't love her. She doesn't love you.
You want to fuck her, she wants your attention.
Move on, find someone who gives half of a shit about you, maybe graduate from high school and be happy.
>>
>>17135955
I think you might be right.
I thought I would have been over her by now.
But it just hurts. I thought she genuinely cared about me.

When is a women too old to marry, when getting children is concerned.
>Be me, be single, be old (37)
>My highschool crush (also old now but still very beautiful) is single as well (never married no children before).
>Thinking of giving it a try, but what if she already too old for children. Google is very mixed on the topic, but often it is said that 35+ it gets exponentially harder and the risk of getting potato child rises.

Thats tru
at around 28 women's ovaries get turned upside down and become an hour glass. Pregnancies later in life may lead to complications like autism but not all of them. Look more into it and take the risk if you think she is worth it.
>>
If you're 37, the youngest woman you're probably going to get is a woman in her early 30s. Depending on how much risk you consider is too much, you may have missed the boat. Have you thought about adopting, or do you definitely want a biological child?
>>
>>17135933
Well if you have Your first child at 38, when that kid is 10 you'll be 48.
When that kid is 20 you'll be 58, so it is do able if you plan on retiring at 65 and don't raise a neet.

Last night in the very early hours of this morning at like 12:15am or something, I wasn't paying enough attention while I was driving, and I went straight through a red light. I stopped immediately after realizing what I had done, looked behind me to reverse but there was already another car stopped at the line, the cars coming from my left were slowing down to let me pass, there were no vehicles coming from my right. I had no choice so I went slowly looking all around me to make sure it was safe and carried on. No accidents occurred, but I made a mistake.
I passed my test at the start of this year and only got my car about a month ago, so I'm still in that period where I only need 6 points to lose my license, and the penalty for going through a red light is 3 points. I'm absolutely shitting it and can't stop worrying about this. It was night time, and I didn't notice any flash from any cameras. I checked out the place where this happened on google maps and although the picture is out of date there don't seem to be any cameras there. I'm going to drive back there today I think and scope it out. Does anybody have any experience with this? Have you ever ran a red light and got away with it? How long would you expect it to take to hear from them?

If the ticket isn't served to you by an officer or state official it's not valid.
Just like how you can't get summoned to court through the mail
Chill.

Mistakes happen. It wasn't a big deal. In fact, if wager if you tried to turn yourself in for your heinous crime they'd brush you off. I don't believe traffic cameras trigger unless you're speeding. Just be more careful and don't get into an accident wallowing in your paranoia that the traffic cops are after you. So, what the last guy said. Chill.

I'm pretty sure I need therapy. I gave myself the ultimatum that I would seek therapy if my problems weren't magically resolved by the end of my first year of college. It's now 3 AM on the second to last day of finals week. The big issue, though, is that I don't know how I could go about asking my parents to find me a therapist.
I'm a millennial slacker, okay? I don't know how to find one myself. I've always done everything through my parents and I don't know any other way. My parents are both quite emotionally distant and I've never talked to them about my personal feelings before. They know that I'm not the same as I used to be, but they've long-since given up trying to change it. If they ever did try. My memory is very patchy. My mother once told me to just "get over it" and my father is too anxious to even speak to me without his voice quivering. Saying that I need therapy is going to make them suddenly inquisitive about my feelings, and I don't want that. I just want to be with a therapist and to not have to think about how it seems to others. My parents were really pressuring me to get a job over the summer, so if I don't drop this bomb on them then I'm going to have to deal with that can of worms instead. I've been thinking about just texting the phrase "I need therapy" to my mother and ignoring every cry of concern that isn't to the tune of "Okay, sure", but I know that this is going to permanently alter the way they see me. But it's killing me to go on like this, and every time I see the social anxiety in my parent's eyes I worry that I'm going to keep myself from doing this for my whole life and never get better.
I've been restraining my emotions and behaviors for almost a decade now, to the point that some people have wondered if I'm a sociopath. Everyone has these contrived views of what my actual personality is like, because I never speak up to shatter their illusions. How do I break this silence?

Do you go to a large university? They should have a health clinic on campus, at which they can either treat you or refer you to a place that can.
I can tell you that breaking the silence gets easier the more you do it, and gets easier to do after you start therapy.
>>
if youre over 18 you can get free therapy,(Family therapy its called) I did. Just look online in your city for free or low cost family therapy. Actually, you can get meds too from a low income psychiatrist, but I didnt like taking drugs.
>>
>>17136014
We're just about out for the semester, and the dorms shut down over the summer. So I can't turn to a health clinic now.
>>17136097
From what I've read of it, family therapy sounds absolutely horrible. I don't want to bond with my parents, and they're both just as ill as I am. Part of the reason I think I need therapy is that I can't stand social interaction like that, and I tend to prefer letting my problems stack up if it means having to talk to someone to solve them. I don't think that being locked in a room with my parents would help at all. In fact, I think it's the one possibility that would make me absolutely not want to seek therapy. Aren't there more private ways?

Ugh, I know this feel.
I'm a half, and look white. The way people's attitudes completely turn around when they find that I'm something other than white are fucking disgusting.
People I look just like, talk just like, even grew up with, giving me shit to my face because I'm partly of a different race. Four generations of my dad's family in America, none of them seriously religious since before they left the old country, and yet I'm some kind of insidious foreigner.
Absolute fucking bullshit.

So I got a 700 dollar ticket a few days ago. 200 for speeding (sign saying I was going the soon to be speed limit another 100 feet down the road but whatever), and 500 for no insurance. I doubt I can get out of it because those things are technically true, and I can't pay it cause if I can't afford insurance how the hell am I going to afford this? Also I'm not in that state anymore, I had other things to do.
Basically when I go back and sooner or later get arrested, what am I in for? How long should I expect to spend in jail? Does the ticket disappear if I go to jail, or do they lock me up and say lol you still owe 700 bucks? Do I lose my license? Wat happens?

You're not gonna go to jail
Go to traffic court on the date of the ticket and appeal. If you're a first time offender, they can reduce the fine.
iirc they have payment plans as well. If worst comes to worst, dump it on a credit card or get a payday loan. Please don't be unemployed..

Hello /adv/
I've been dating this girl for about 4 months now. She is the first girl that I've been with in about a year, relationship wise.
Shes a nice girl, very nice. She does cute shit all of the time like send me cards in the mail with little notes on them. Shes very affectionate, and clingy. I enjoy the time I spend with her, but I don't like seeing her more than once a week.
I've tried to make it work, but I fear that I'm just dragging out the inevitable. I don't feel that I have any real future with her, and I need to know how to end it.
Note: I've never broken off a relationship on good terms. Every time I've left a girl it was because they did something that I couldn't stand.
TL:DR - How do I break up with a nice girl, "nicely" without hurting her?

Sorry man, you can't, do it now, literally right now. However make sure you want to go through with your decision. There is no going back. Do it now, if you lead her on any longer she will be more hurt.
>>
>>17135651
why dont u like seeing her a lot?
>>
>>17135840
Basically, I run my own business and I feel that the time I spend with her could be better used.
I work 16 hour days, and if I didn't end up working with the time I spent with her, I feel that laying around and watching netflix isn't a good use of my time.
Im sure its because I don't like her anymore.

How exactly do you know they're falling in love with their co-worker? Spends more time with them than you? Constantly talks about them in an overbearingly positive way? Literally refuses your attention in favor of theirs?
Be proactive and say something about it. "Hey, I've noticed you've been acting like you're hooked on this other person. What about us? Are we still a thing?" Just standing by isn't going to solve your issue.

The more you do it the less awkward it feels. Social skills can be like a muscle the more you use it the better your get at it. Get out of your comfort zone, you might fuck up sometimes, but that's part of the fun. You don't need a relationship to not feel lonely.

Hey /adv/ so today i caused a girl to lose control of her car by almost hitting them with my car. I wasnt really that close to hitting her but she was talking on the phone and panicked. She swerved into a curb and her tire popped. I stopped to help her cause i thought that would be the right thing to do. I offered to pay for a replacement and i did. We exchanged info and kept the police out of it. She is trying to get me to pay for all the damages but i feel as though she is just trying to get me to give her more money. So what should i do? She claims that she is fully covered by her insurance. So should i just ignore her? She has my phone and license plate number as well as a picture of my id. Im worried that if i tell her to fuck off she will try to take my to court and sue me. So how should i handle this?

She is at fault for not paying attention to the road.
>She swerved into a curb and her tire popped.
>I stopped to help her cause i thought that would be the right thing to do.
Sounds good so far...
>I offered to pay for a replacement and i did.
That's nice and all but would you have done the same if it wasn't a "girl"?
Don't bother asking here for legal advice, call a lawyer and get informed on the laws of your area.
She is exploiting the fact that you just pull out your wallet because she has a vagina. As soon as you realize this then do tell her to fuck off and lawyer up.
>>
>>17135534
Hmmm. You say that you have already paid her for the tire, right?
What was said after that?
This is actually a little more complex than it first seems.
It sounds to me, that you shouldn't have paid for the tire in the first place, because now you have accepted some sort of fault.
On the other hand, you have already paid for her tire. If she wanted you to pay for more, she would have verbally expressed that.
Just for future reference, there is a line in most car insurance policies that states you have a right to withhold fault until you have spoken yo your insurance company.
