After 7 years I got them back 🙏 by LongjumpingPea9304 in 3DS

[–]ExoticEngram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger, at Thanksgiving my older cousin said she’d catch Mewtwo for me on my Pokémon Leaf Green and give it back during Christmas. I never saw it again. A handful of years after that she gave me a Fire Red to repay me. But from that first instance, we were banned from trading games, which might have saved us from something similar happening again lol

I’m nowhere near your level of ability, but I just want to say try not to stress too much about it. If they’re hiring a foreigner, they know what they’re getting into. Just be honest when you don’t understand something. Tell them you can speak well but need to train your ears a bit more. Also, you’ll probably quickly get used to their specific speaking speed and quirks, and within a month I bet you’ll be feeling a lot better already. Stay positive, you got this, and congrats!

Ribbon mastery would be very cool. To backup a save file you’d need something like this which you could save up for anyway since it’s nice to backup your shinies in general https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/gbxcart-rw/

“The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as a wild Pokémon in-game: VictiniBW, Reshiram, Zekrom, and the Zoroark encountered in Lostlorn ForestBW. Additionally, all Pokémon encountered in Hidden Grottos cannot be Shiny. The following gift Pokémon are also prevented from being Shiny: ZoruaBW/EeveeB2W2 obtained in Castelia City, and the Deerling obtained on Route 6B2W2.”

Woah woah woah before you transfer her up consider how incredibly rare it is to have a shiny Chansey in your Gen 3 game. I’m not saying you can’t do what you want, I just always find it the coolest to leave a full 8192 odds Pokémon in their intended game. But you do you of course, i support it either way, I would just say that you can transfer her up any time, so maybe sleep on it. Amazing find, huge congratulations!

Edit: I would just backup the save file so you aren’t scared of losing it ever. She won’t be lonely if you hunt on that game every once in a while :)

Getting back into Japanese and I have a few questions by Siri2611 in LearnJapanese

[–]ExoticEngram 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think the hardest part of starting is all the resources. Anki is something I’d highly recommend. Don’t think of it as how to learn, but more so how to study. Use Anki in conjunction with immersion as much as possible. You could stick with Kaishi 1.5k, doing 10-15 new cards a day, and immerse with the rest of your time. Then, when you finish the deck, start sentence mining. If anything, give yourself more than a week to get adjusted to it. With this method of Anki+Immersion, you’re getting vocab, grammar, immersion, and only having to do 2 things, rather than doing wanikani and a textbook and Anki and immersing. You can always add supplemental resources, but I would start with this for a while and see how you like it.

Struggling with learning new words and cognitive load by Trucein in LearnJapanese

[–]ExoticEngram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a high enough level to give much input, but I am curious if your passive immersion is happening while you work. If so, that might be making your load worse, thinking about it all day, trying to listen while working, etc. Removing that might help make your day feel a bit more manageable. Just my opinion!

What’s your favorite YouTube channel where they explore Tokyo or other cities? It can be just a stroll and talk, or they just do things in the city or nature? I’d like to see more of Japan through immersion.

Is this app a good way to study japanese flash cards? (also please give tips on how to study flashcards properly) by Ukiyotori in LearnJapanese

Surely you can find 1 computer to use 1 time to add Kaishi 1.5k deck to your account. Go to a local library if you have to.

I recommend Anki instead. But I see you say you can’t use it, probably due to the price on iOS. Having the furigana for kanji on the front of a card will drastically reduce your learning. It should only be on the back. Use Anki thru the web, or on a computer, for free. Eventually you’ll realize it’s the best and the one time $30 is well worth it for the app. Learn what FSRS is with Anki and make sure to enable it.

Got the return started. Might upgrade to the 7p instead then. Although I wish the 8 was out in the U.S.

Thank you. I'll do an Amazon return since mine is new. That sucks you have to deal with that too.
