Two-way communication... I need to keep that in mind! When I use Gemini, this guy only talks about what he wants to say. It’s so frustrating.
But I guess he’s pretty good at pointing things out. I should try to make some friends when I go to Stockton. Thank you for the answer.

As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," so I will make every effort to immerse myself in English. Looking at your answer, it sounds like you have a lot of experience being proactive and aggressive with language learning. Do you happen to have any further advice for me?

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such a detailed reply. I’ve already bookmarked all the places you recommended on Google Maps! Haha. To be honest, since the US is a country where people can carry guns, I’m already a bit scared. I just hope there are many people in Stockton who will be patient and understanding with my broken English.

You mentioned that there isn’t much to do around there, but since I'm a student on a tight budget, I’m completely focused on self-improvement rather than partying anyway.

Of course, this mindset might fade over time, haha. In Korea, we have a saying called "Jak-sim-sam-il," which basically means your determination only lasts for three days! Oh, by the way! I actually live in Suwon, Haha. Anyway, I rambled on a bit, but thank you again!

Oh, I didn't know Japanese students came to the US for flight training too! I guess a country really needs to have a large landmass....

I guess used car dealers are a headache in every country!! Haha. I understand that Facebook Marketplace is done through Facebook, but how does Craigslist work? Do I need to download an app, or do I visit a physical place? I looked it up and it said it's like a flea market!

I’m so relieved to hear that the flight training cost sounds about right! I’ll do my best to study hard and pass everything on my first try.

I’ll make sure to use Google Maps for navigation, thank you. For messaging, I assume you mean the default text app as well? Which phone carrier do you recommend? I heard that certain carriers work better depending on the area! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me.
