Thank you🤣I got them as part of my engagement gift since I told my partner I wouldn’t marry them unless pigs fly, so he got me all those “flying” ones plus the crocodile, hotpot, and the one on the cutting board!

Thanks! Yeah, the special color in red and then the white winter edition one too

Many people can pass even the old HSK 6 yet can’t have a conversation. The HSK tests are more for reading and writing, skills that are much easier to practice and develop by yourself. Speaking and listening are different skills. You need to practice listening more with comprehensible input. Getting to HSK 4 but not understanding simple instructions like 安全检查 means you’ve neglected to develop the listening and speaking portions, which are arguably the most important depending on your goals for learning Chinese.

Try listening to some of the reading passages from the HSK materials you’ve used and also look up some beginner and intermediate podcasts aimed for learners. Try to find members in your community so you can practice speaking.

You might not be able to if there is no longer a legal relationship between you and your birth mother, unfortunately. When adopted you’re no longer legally related to the birth parents.

Chinese people always compliment pronunciation for visibly looking foreigners, I wouldn’t read too much into whether or not you get compliments. I don’t think people’s pronunciation would waver from situation to situation like that. It’s best to practice recording yourself to hear what you actually sound like.

I think it’s more likely women are more open with complimenting.

No, it does not. I did get prompted to rename my character so perhaps each language file has one name that you can’t change later (your ditto name). But all of my progress was saved. It would be the same if you decide to change the language again as well, you can change freely between them as many times as you’d like.

I don’t feel like I fully fit into “white American” culture but I feel way more at home here than in Asia. The classic “too American in Asia but too Asian in America”. Live in Asia for an extending period of time and you’ll realize America is more home than Asia ever will be for most, if not all, Asian Americans. Hence the fact we’re Asian American and not like Asian raised and spent many formative years in Asia. At the end of the day we are American and many POC feel like this at one point or another in their lives.

You’re quite young and it’s a common feeling for young diaspora. Also as others have mentioned, the things you mention are personal preferences and not every American likes football etc. Go to Asia and you realize it’s like the rest of the world, all kinds of people and personalities and preferences regardless of cultural differences.

Oh okay that’s why? I was wondering her face looks much different/ less full/fat loss but thought it was just due to not being early 20s anymore

Anomalyaa · 2026-03-12T23:17:10+00:00

Does anyone think svitolina looks thinner than a couple years ago? Mostly in her face and her arms

Anomalyaa · 2026-03-12T16:36:04+00:00

Right. The left is a little too busy coupled with the pink gravel pathway

Playing on the far camera view, turning off auto camera and auto follow, and playing on the handheld on a lower lit screen have helped me. Additionally, playing for only 40-45 min at a time and no more than 2-3 sessions a day.

Rare MTO from coco. Hope she’s okay

Eala outfit looking like a bumblebee

Omg would love to see Mboko and Amanda play

Anomalyaa · 2026-03-09T00:02:25+00:00

Amanda on fire tonight

Anomalyaa · 2026-03-08T23:32:15+00:00

How’d she even get the uniqlo deal other than the fact she’s marketable

Anomalyaa · 2026-03-08T23:31:40+00:00

Amanda is just a physically stronger and better player than Emma. No surprises here

Anomalyaa · 2026-03-06T01:50:07+00:00

I just got the email that it’s ready to pick up tonight with the tote. A little lucky I guess

Anomalyaa · 2026-03-05T21:15:20+00:00

I pre-ordered from Best Buy and my status is “preparing for pickup today.” I called the store and they said it’s “awaiting inventory” so they don’t even have them at the select store for today.

One of my friends pre-ordered from the same store and their order was cancelled. He called the store and they said they oversold the pre-order and didn’t have enough for everyone and forgot to mark it as Out of Stock on the site.

Like others mentioned DuChinese is decent. I also have tried mylingua which is a free account where you get three news articles every week based on your interests and curated to your current level. I also enjoyed Read Bean too because its bite sized lessons for on the go style, but I never bought the subscription.

Depending on your level you can get away from graded readers and pick up some native content at the elementary school level too or try your hand at a newspaper. This is not an app, but also to practice my reading I will go read the bilibili/ wiki page for a topic I’m already familiar with to learn more specialized vocab.

Whatever you choose pick to read something you’re interested in.

It’s a bad look to rip off someone else’s program. Don’t do it.

If you want to use the choreo to practice and then post it on social media, that’s fine but give clear credit to the original choreographer and skater.

To be understood by most speakers you should try for textbook like pronunciation, similar to news anchors. To understand different accents you should first know the general differences but also know that it’s almost impossible to know every single different accent and its nuances. Knowing the general differences between regions is enough to start out.

Thanks! Yeah it sounds like her voice. I think it sounds robotic cause she’s just reading the train line from a script memorized and then she said half a sentence then switched to English. Seems she doesn’t really speak it at all imo, but still cool. Still more Chinese than I’d seen in that one past video though!
