(A piece of paper, a wall or a canvas.) Use the directions for spraying distance located on the can. If they are absent, err on the side of caution and start off holding the can far away. Some artists prefer dark, dripping stencils while others prefer a lightly misted imprint. If you use tubes of paint instead of spray paint, use the stencil brush to apply as much color as you would like to the cut-out areas of the stencil. Match it up to the same position the last stencil was placed. Except for a small amount of possible overlap, the color you applied before should not be present where your cut-outs are for this stencil.

" Listen to spoken French, and practice mimicking the way sounds are formed in the throat instead of the front of the mouth. For example in English, the "r" sound is made in the front of the mouth with the lips and teeth. French speakers, on the other hand, make the "r" sound by drawing the back of the tongue close to the soft palate. One of the best ways to improve your pronunciation is to get a French speaker to correct your mistakes. If you know a native speaker or someone who's fluent, ask them to help you develop a better accent. In French, all nouns and adjectives are either masculine or feminine. Many words that end in "e" are feminine, but keep in mind there are lots of exceptions! The key thing to know is that the adjective's gender must match the noun's gender. Additionally, if a noun is plural, an adjective that describes it must also be plural. You'd use "Sam est petit," (Sam eh puh-tee) to say Sam, who's a boy, is short. If Sam and Beth, who are girls, are both short, you'd say "Sam et Beth sont petites" (Sam aye Beth sohn puh-teet). Articles, such as "the" and "a," also need to match the gender and number. "Un" and "une" (uh and oohn) are the masculine and feminine versions of "a." "Le," "la," and "les" (luh, lah, and lay) are the masculine, feminine, and plural ways of saying "the." You'd use "l'" for words that begin with vowels: "l'ecole." If you're describing yourself, make sure the adjective matches your gender. For instance, "Je suis americain" (zhuh sweez-ah-may-ree-keh) is masculine, and "Je suis americaine" (zhuh sweez-ah-may-ree-kenn) is feminine. Knowing when to use "etre" (to be) and "avoir" (to have) can get a little tricky, but it's a key aspect of basic French. In French, you'd use the verb "to have" to say "I'm hungry" and "I'm thirsty." For instance, the literal translations of "J'ai faim" (zhay feh) and "J'ai soif" (zhay swof) are "I have hunger" and "I have thirst." To ask someone if they're hungry, use "Avez-vous faim?" (ah-vay voo feh) or "As-tu faim? (ah-too feh). Swap out "faim" with "soif" (swof) to ask if they're thirsty, and "sommeil" (soh-may) to ask if they're sleepy. The verb "to have" is always used to express conditions such as hunger, thirst, and fatigue. Use "etre" (to be) for adjectives such as gender and nationality.

Summary: Practice your pronunciation, especially the French "R. Familiarize yourself with gendered words. Learn about how the verb "to have" is used in French.

You will be under general anesthesia during the surgery so you will not feel any pain. This surgery is invasive but it is considered less extreme than a myotomy. If medication and other treatments do not work, your doctor may suggest a myotomy, where the muscles at the lower end of your esophagus are surgically cut.
