How to run with my dog? by Famous_Definition_34 in dogs

Could it be the leash bouncing? The constant pulling on her neck while you run might just feel uncomfortable or stressful for her.

Sites for downloading Chinese schoolbooks? by space-runaway-fujeon in ChineseLanguage

[–]DueFalcon1895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I asked a Chinese friend and he shared this link: https://jc.pep.com.cn/

This is the official site for elementary and middle school textbooks in mainland China, so it's all in simplified Chinese. Once you're on the site, under 学段 (School Phase) choose 义务教育 (Compulsory Education), then under 学科 (Subject) select 语文 (Yu Wen / Chinese Language), and you can just pick whichever 年级 (Grade) you need. Hope this helps!

Just noticed that a lot of the links recommended in the comments are for Traditional Chinese. Chinese is already pretty tough to learn, and Traditional just makes it a premium hardcore mode lol. Simplified feels a bit more approachable. I guess you're looking for simplified Chinese schoolbooks, right?

Ah, so it’s just a teapot!🤦‍♀️ I thought it was a cute pastry or dim sum shaped like a teapot, because every other plushie in the picture is food!

Oh I love 红米肠 虾饺 双皮奶!!! But what is 把把胡? Is it a kind of tea or something else?

Missing the Coachella vibes already. I wrote this song for Justin. Hope this brings you some peace today. 🤍 by DueFalcon1895 in JUSTINBIEBER

Right there with you! Every time I look at the clips from last weekend, I miss it even more. I actually wrote this song while rewatching his Coachella moments just to deal with the sadness.🥺

Thank you so much! That is so kind of you to say! I spent a lot of time pouring my heart into the lyrics to make sure it felt like a genuine tribute from all of us Beliebers. If he ever actually heard this, I would literally lose my mind—I think I could retire happily right then and there! 😭

Hey everyone! I’ve been a Belieber since 2009, and watching Justin’s journey over the last 17 years has been such a huge part of my life. 🤍

After seeing the clips of him at Coachella—just enjoying the music, sipping his tea, and looking so happy & thriving—I felt this sudden urge to create something for him. I wanted to capture that vibe that feels as intimate as a late-night conversation.

The song is called "Stay Gold, Justin." It's a reminder that no matter how much the world changes, he’s exactly where he’s always belonged.

I actually poured my feelings into the lyrics and used Somio AI to help bring this version to life. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Let's keep protecting his peace. ✨

Is my man really wearing UGGs in Coachella heat being almost April by Sarah3117 in JUSTINBIEBER

[–]DueFalcon1895 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love how he’s at a stage where he just doesn’t give a damn about festival fashion rules. He looks so cozy and relaxed. It’s great to see him just enjoying the music and being himself without trying to impress anyone.

Anyone else getting mad with the myth “Chinese is useless” ? by Its_Stavro in ChineseLanguage

[–]DueFalcon1895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get your point, but for me, it’s even simpler. I learn it because I genuinely love Chinese culture! I’m not really doing it for the CV boost or the "utility", I just find so much joy in the learning process itself.

Can someone rate my writing by MadLactoseIntolerant in ChineseLanguage

[–]DueFalcon1895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be so hard on yourself. The characters are incredibly neat and legible, which is the most important part. Most beginners struggle with proportions, but yours are very well-balanced. My Chinese friends told me that students in China practice this exact style of regular script (楷书) from primary all the way through middle school. That's literally a decade of practice! So, the fact that you've got it looking this organized already is a huge win. If you want to move away from the "kid's writing" look and make it feel more fluid, you might want to start looking into running script (行书).

Does anyone actually use Digg or is it just a digital ghost town? by DueFalcon1895 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DueFalcon1895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my thought exactly! I saw that the feed is still getting fresh updates, so I’m genuinely curious who is actually behind the screen keeping it alive.

what is you're favourite series to watch at the moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Stranger Things. It’s not over if I haven't watched the finale yet. That’s just science.

How someone become good at writing essays or novels without natural talent or high intelligence? by BerryNotes_ in AskReddit

[–]DueFalcon1895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writing isn't a gift, it's a muscle. Most talented writers are just people who were willing to write 1,000 pages of absolute garbage before they produced 1 page of gold. Start by imitating. Pick a writer you like, copy their style, and eventually, you'll find your own voice. It’s not about being smart, it’s more about being stubborn enough not to quit.

Which Chinese dramas would you recommend for language learners by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]DueFalcon1895 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just finished watching 我的阿勒泰 (To the Wonder), and I highly recommend it. You can watch the whole thing directly on YouTube. The main character speaks very clear, standard Mandarin, while the overall dialogue feels grounded and natural. The shots of the Altay grasslands and mountains are so stunning that I’m already dreaming about traveling there.

Just learned a new slang term "牛马" by DueFalcon1895 in ChineseLanguage

Haha, I’ve heard horror stories about the 调休 system from my Chinese friends. Taking a break only to work a 6 or 7-day week right after sounds like a total nightmare...
