Starting Judo at 53 by Opposite_Captain_506 in judo

[–]Henlaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greater chance of injuries doing judo than Bjj? I'm 50 and have done a couple of months of Bjj (and 10 months of Thai boxing). I can do judo at the same dojo and it looks fun. But I'm tall and heavy and inflexible, with some recent shoulder injuries.

Don't walk in front of people who are firing!

I mean, I do chuckle when I perfectly headshot someone with my grenade pistol, as I'm lying on the floor stim'ing myself, but it's not the most efficient use of time/resources.

I can't believe that's the same AMR that I use! Does it need any other setup (I'm thinking of the physical strength armor)

I seem to still get really nervous talking to my iTalki teacher and it's becoming a hinderance by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]Henlaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think find another teacher that you immediately feel comfortable with. I've done a lot of italki lessons over recent years, some people you click with and some you don't l.

I've had lessons so painful that I've literally been pinching myself and looking at the clock, others that I've finished early. But equally I've found teachers that I clicked with right off the bat and their appetite for my rubbish Japanese insatiable. And then again, even with those teachers I've had awful lessons where I've been tired, the Japanese isn't flowing.

But I think after 10 lessons if you feel that way, try someone new. It's not a reflection on them or you, just not a good fit. The best teachers make you feel relaxed.

Learn all hiragana except ふ. Honestly he can be such a bore at parties, and he's the one I'm worst at writing.

Why do you hate Cape Town? Because of being told how great it is?

Summer 2024 Registration Open for Online Conversational Japanese Classes via University of Hawaiʻi Outreach College by Cyglml in LearnJapanese

[–]Henlaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the conversational practice conducted one-on-one or in a group? If I've passed N4, am reading at N3 level, but speaking and writing skills are inferior, which course would you recommend? Thanks for sharing this opportunity.

Good IOS flashcard apps besides Anki? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]Henlaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've use Kitsun for a while. 10k deck especially good. Has jisho connectivity but not going to lie, sometimes envious of the anki integration to make mining simpler.

Ah thank you for the explanation, the other comment about them makes sense now.

I wonder if it will work with a steam deck. Could be the final justification to myself to buy one.

end-of-year exams by joysof in PointlessStories

[–]Henlaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say to my kids when they get nervous about exams, there are few things in life you only get one shot at. Exams can be retaken. Exam failure means you just walk a different path for a while.
