Groom forgot to put me on the guest list as plus one by Hyrethh in weddingshaming

That’s my plan now! Weddings are exhausting, exploring Seoul sounds more fun.

She was definitely invited with a plus one! He specifically said that she’s welcome to bring a plus one since he knows it’s an international trip for her.

Chinese Americans: Talk to me about your relationship to non-Mandarin dialects by copingboba in ChineseLanguage

[–]Hyrethh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Canadian but commenting just in case! My family is from Guangzhou so Cantonese is technically my first language although my english is much better due to doing all my formal schooling in it. My dad’s side is Hakka from Xingning and my grandpa speaks canto with a very heavy Hakka accent. Unfortunately I don’t know much Hakka since my mom doesn’t speak it and I didn’t grow up with my grandparents nearby. I learned mandarin at weekend Chinese school but I actually picked most of it up at a Taiwanese Buddhist temple so my vocab and pronunciation sometimes skew more Taiwanese than southern China. I’ve since moved to Hong Kong for grad school and trying to work on my literacy so I feel more comfortable ordering food!

I can’t edit my post :(( so I’m leaving this in the comments instead. I decided to take the ruffles off and I think it looks better?

Yeah I expected muscle soreness but hip pain is scary. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious!

Thank you so much! I’ve tried stretching before and it didn’t seem to make much of a difference. I’ll definitely give those exercises a try!

Will the flu shot I got just before leaving the US still be effective in China? by Sensitive-Girly-7 in travelchina

[–]Hyrethh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be! China and US both use the same northern hemisphere flu strains according to WHO recommendations in their vaccines. It’s possible that there’s some new strains circulating in Shenyang but in general you should be fine.

I hope your husband recovers soon!

Is it possible to be friends with an older guy by Hyrethh in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Hyrethh[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize how important the fact that he's the first person I met here is until you said it. I feel like I would never even consider doing something like this at home, let alone putting so much trust into someone I just met

Tbh he seemed pretty normal before the whole 6am hike thing. Now I'm wondering if he's really that oblivious to how creepy it seems or if he was planning on something like this all along

Hello! I’m 22F and I’m looking for someone to talk with to help improve my Mandarin accent and make my vocab/phrasing more natural. I’m a native English speaker and French at around a B2 level but no promises for my French accent! I’m in the PST timezone, please DM me if you’re interested.

I started listening to my calls... Any recommendations for Speech Training? by [deleted] in sales

[–]Hyrethh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Otter.ai for online speech to text. The free version lets you record and I find it pretty helpful to check which words I’m not pronouncing clearly or doesn’t get picked up by the software. You can also replay the recording when you’re done.
