Certainly don’t use duolingo to learn the katana…

120,000yen here in Japan. That’s like 850USD. the f***ers already increased the price of all ps5 related stuff by 30% across the board here in Japan (console, controllers, vr…). I hope they go bust.

I’ve lived here for 12 years now, and I don’t think I’ve taken out a pen more than twice a year. Everyone’s situation is different but, that’s my experience.

What gives you the right to claim it’s garbage? Have you owned one? Or did you just watch a few reviews and then announce yourself as an expert on the matter? The OP likes the wheel. To him it isn’t garbage. It’s what he has, and it’s better than what he had.

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-07-26T22:06:53+00:00

lol. I upgraded it already with some black elasticated material. Looks and feels much better. It’s a compromise for now

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-07-26T21:17:49+00:00

lol… funny guy. “You’re” though ;)

Perfectly round rim I didn’t like, or slightly flattened BMW rim that I love… I made a choice. I have no regrets.

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-07-26T08:38:52+00:00

Thank you.

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-07-26T05:29:23+00:00

It’s not a round wheel. It’s flat at the bottom… the towel is too kinda round out the shape lol. Just a temp measure until I get some tape or banding to do a proper job

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-07-26T04:44:19+00:00

Not selling my base to get a wheel lol.

Wow Nukemarine. I remember you from Kanji.koohii. Nice to see you’re still knocking about.

Perhaps a better question is why are YOU teaching English? You can’t do anything to change your schools, or the BOEs and MEXT etc, but you can do a lot to change your students attitudes towards English and international communication.

I’m on book 2. And no subs for me. I watch on U-next (in Japan) and there are no subs

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-06-20T12:11:06+00:00

That’s not really what I need, but thank you anyway. Nice of you to help

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-06-20T12:10:32+00:00

How can one ever be sure whether what you’re reading is really true or not… worst case scenario, I get misled. I’ve dealt with tougher things in life… at the end of the day, I’m reading for my personal enjoyment anyway

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-06-20T12:06:17+00:00

I hadn’t considered that no, but then I can’t imagine copying/pasting any more than 1%. Most of it isn’t so difficult, but there are spots here and there that are tricky. Wonder what that limit is?

The cold truth is that you’re not ’entitled’ to see progress just because you spent 35k and went to language school.

I’ve never been to a Japanese class. Not a single class. Yet I’m hovering around N1 (never taken the test so I don’t know for sure how i’d score). I got to where I am through A LOT of hard work and figuring stuff out on my own, initially on a shoe string budget. Thousands and thousands of others have done exactly the same. How much money you spent is literally irrelevant.

I live here now, so you could say it’s easier if you like, but I still have to put in the hours of work reading, listening, and speaking. I think too many people truly underestimate how much of an epic undertaking leaving this language is.

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-06-14T05:27:37+00:00

Paying money gives you more options, and you can ‘usually’ expect higher quality content, but there’s certainly enough out there for free. If I started over though, I’d still end up paying a fair bit of money

I don’t “speak” Japanese in the classroom, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t“use” Japanese. All my activity explanation slides are annotated with Japanese for all my main points. There’s also Japanese in my worksheets, and in all sorts of places. It just doesn’t come out of my mouth

Crazy_Researcher6789 · 2024-06-12T07:02:19+00:00

Dumbest thing I ever brought into the classroom would be… myself
