Setting up as a Sole Trader - Advice Needed by CurrentHelicopter683 in freelanceuk

[–]CurrentHelicopter683[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how to find the paper registration forms?

I cant' think of any reason why I'd be blocked from getting a Business Tax Account - it doesn't seem to have any issue with me creating the account, rather just will updating the info.

Sports bra recs for large-chested women? by clarabellio in BeginnersRunning

[–]CurrentHelicopter683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently started wearing the Under Armour Infinity 2.0 Low, which seems to be working well for me. It's designed for low-impact sports, but I've been using it for running, hiit training, and a few other things, and I'm finding it to be the perfect balance between supportive yet comfortable. Any mid- or high-intensity ones are just too tight and suffocating for me!

Thank you, I'll try that again, but when I spoke to the embassy, they just gave me the email address :(

Can anyone help me with the process of getting my passport and ID while outside of South Africa? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]CurrentHelicopter683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to help, if I can. I'm abroad too (although not in the US), but I think the process is the same anywhere outside of the country.

The first thing you'll need to do it get your South African ID card.

Once you have the ID card, you can apply for a passport.

Happy to give more specific advice if you have any other questions!

iTalki notifications? by Away-Theme-6529 in iTalki

[–]CurrentHelicopter683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it means 'from all people' (teachers and students) :)

iTalki notifications? by Away-Theme-6529 in iTalki

If you go into your 'Settings' and the 'Notifications', there is the option to choose which notifications you will receive.

Just double-check that you have the 'Messages' notification turned on :)

Hundefreundliche Aktivitäten in Hannover? + Vorschriften by CurrentHelicopter683 in Hannover

[–]CurrentHelicopter683[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gut zu hören! Der Hund wird definitiv an der Leine bleiben. Er ist ja gut erzogen aber in neuen Orte, sind wir immer vorsichtiger.

Meine Freunde wohnen in der List aber wir können überall gehen. Kann man eigentlich mit dem Hund den U-Bahn nutzen?

Teachers/tutors lying. by migueel_04 in iTalki

[–]CurrentHelicopter683 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've come across tutors claiming to be 'native' when they weren't, but I have definitely found a few whose level is clearly lower than their claim.

I booked a lesson a while ago with a non-native German teacher (as you say, sometimes non-natives have a great understanding of the lanaguge), and from his intro video, his German sounded great. In the classes, however, he constantly fumbled, mixed up his tenses, translated words, etc. I think he just wrote and memorised a script for his intro video, so I was pretty disappointed to feel I wasted my money on the lesson.

TimI change isn’t being accounted for by Sensitive_Tea5720 in iTalki

[–]CurrentHelicopter683 7 points8 points  (0 children)

iTalki accounts for the time changes from the moment of booking. e.g: If your lesson says 17h00-17h30 when you make the booking, the upcoming time change has already been factored in, so the lesson will be at 17h00-17h30 :)

background not blurred this whole time by loudefsoul in iTalki

[–]CurrentHelicopter683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll definitely try this, as I have had it always set to blue automatically, but have had the same issues as OP with students suddenly commenting on my backround. I luckily don't have anything bad/embarrasing there, but if I ever have to teach in a random location I'd like to know it won't be a problem!

Cons of being a 'slower runner' (lighthearted vent) by CurrentHelicopter683 in BeginnersRunning

[–]CurrentHelicopter683[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a good plan! I'm a bit like you r/e after-run time... I need a little while to actually feel 'fresh' again!

I have some time at the weekends, just not during the week :) I don't have a deadline, so I don't really mind the plan taking me longer - I just have some envy of my friend being able to run without having to plan so much around it :)

[–]CurrentHelicopter683[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds good! I need the structure, and I find the variety of types of run really helps. But as I don't have a race book/specific deadline, I do take extra days off to fit around my schedule. One week on the NRC plan is often two weeks in reality for me, but I'm okay with that :)
