Nocturnal leg cramps

When I was in the Pharmacy we would recommend Calcet D for leg cramps. Their the ones that look like yellow chicklet gum. After years of recommending that product the company actually put "for leg cramp relief " on their box. My dad use to suffer badly with leg cramps and I bought him some of these to take one before bed and they worked great.

I did get a few leg cramps when I was pregnant and I know they can really hurt.

:hmm:...to say "I pulled my calf muscle"...but saying...."I've pulled both my....calf's OR calves muscle" (plural)...??

I would say, "I've pulled both of my calf muscles." Calf is then a modifier to muscles, so calf would be singular form, and muscles would be plural.

Or, "I've pulled the calf muscle on both legs." Then calf muscle identifies the one muscle (singular) of each of the two legs (plural).

That is, one calf muscle on each of two legs. :)

Just be glad that English doesn't have genders for all its nouns like some languages do. That's more word endings to learn. :giggle:

Then, there are some that depend on tonal inflections for meaning, too. Some require clicks and whistles.

Every language has its quirks.

Oh I see.

What about Japanese? I heard about hard to write but speak is not bad (moot for me because can't use oral language).

I haven't make any decision on foreign language course - my school offer Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, France, etc.

I would stick with Spanish... easiest to learn. or maybe French if you want to learn a language of love :lol:
 
Ive had issues with the calves cramping and found that taking a daily supplement of potassium helps a ton.
 
I've only had problems with it when I was pregnant with my son and was standing at work for 8 hours, cut my hours down to 6 and u was okay. But yep, dehydration and low potassium will do that.

My kid was speaking Japanese before she turned 6. Picked it up very easily.

With French, Spanish, Italian, and Latin you'll be using a familiar alphabet and have the most cognates. German alphabet and some cognates and familiar terms. Russian and Greek use Cyrillic alphabet, not many cognates. When you get into Asian, Middle and Far Eastern languages, you're pretty much working from scratch. Polish is a tricky one; the alphabet looks familiar but the words do not.

Will your class focus on reading and writing over pronunciation and listening? Is it a deaf-friendly language class?

Hola la mujer.

Yes, Spanish uses gender, such as el hombre, el autobús, la computadora, el cuaderno, las mujeres, los lapices, like that.

Mucho gusta.

Also, Spanish uses accent too - í ú ó á é ñ ¡ ¿
