2/ Another tip I find useful: Being mindful of when letters aren’t pronounced—e.g.: – plumber → plummer – bomb → bom – tomb → toom – comb → kowm

1/ Useful pronunciation tip for English! In the video, the presenter uses an audio editor to remove (e.g.) the initial S from words and what remains is surprising. I agree with him that dictionaries get phonetic transcriptions wrong—e.g.: /ɪkˈstensɪv/ should be /ɪkˈsdensɪv/.

Pronunciation tip for English—if we remove 1st consonant, we hear that 2nd consonant is not aspirated: – Speech → beach (not peach) – Screen → green (not “kreen”) – Spanish → banish – Store → door Similar: misTake (d), exTensive (d), exPerience (b) youtube.com/watch?v=U37hX8…

THREAD: I’m going to try this thread to clearly state my perspective on electric vehicles, car dependency and better cities, to those who frequently ask me, including media, elected leaders and many others. Here goes. Please share if you think it helps. 🧵#EVS

People pleasing is unconscious manipulation. It’s not about the other person— it’s about us trying to control perception.

Interesting look at someone who went all in with electricity for his cars and his house (solar panels, batteries, heating, etc.). There are still a lot of downsides, but this seems to be where things are heading. youtube.com/watch?v=XZZisn…

“Classical music from movies” is a good way to find accessible pieces to listen to.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife
