Also, on wordreference.com it says transgenre means "(person) with different gender... - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Better dictionary than Google Translate?

  You're doing nothing wrong, it's that no app is perfect! I use wordreference.com , it is the most accurate online dictionary, and even though it might not be exactly what you're looking for, forvo.com is also a great tool for pronunciation.

• How to learn Canadian French without school?

  The best way to learn any language is through genuine exposure. I would start literally by reading the most simple books you can find with a dictionary or wordreference.com open. Create a vocab list. Do this 10 minutes a night--frequency is more important for language acquisition than intensity. Once you've done this for a while and you feel like you have some vocab, start trying to reproduce it by adding 5... - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

  Sometimes there are different words for things (especially frequently used words for household objects) because they are used in different regions. That's one reason why I like wordreference.com - if a word is regional, it will often make a note of it. So if you look up "trash can," you see that there are a bunch of regional variations: https://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=trash%20can. - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago
