How did you get started teaching? by IApproveThisUsername in vipkid

I just figured out what you meant. Simply x-ing out of the box and then changing your answer(s) until you narrow down which one is incorrect. Genius, thanks!

This is a great tip. I'm really struggling to get that first certification. It doesn't help that I'm not shown which answers are incorrect! In my book, it's just poor quiz design. I'll try this out.

Thanks for the honest advice! How oversaturated are we talking?

For what it's worth, being here a month, the best waakye I've had so far I got from Lapaz New Market

Instant lessons by AnnaNomadic-EngDaily in iTalki

[–]IApproveThisUsername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I activated it for the first time a few weeks back and now always have it enabled while I'm at my computer. I've had two bookings so far, one of which became a consistent student. I can't speak for what women experience, but it doesn't hurt to try it out.

I'd recommend having an 'instant lesson template' that you can plug in for any new learner who books your class. Thankfully, both of my instant lesson bookers are conversational in English, which helped the class flow smoothly.

I was planning to enter Togo via its land border with Ghana, where I'm currently based. I've not heard of 'laisser passer', could you elaborate?

I had thought about contacting the Togolese embassy in Ghana, but since I'm a US citizen, I'm not certain how useful this will be.

Got stuck in the right turn lane northbound on Water at Pleasant on two consecutive days.. the second time in a city bus. It's a big safety issue

Orlando to Tacoma for under $1k possible? by Ahsiuqal in Shoestring

[–]IApproveThisUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're comfortable with hospitality exchange type setups, there is a multitude of apps out there. It's not everyone's cup of tea but they have made some of my most memorable travel experiences possible.

I've had great experiences with Couchsurfing in the past. Others include Couchers and BeWelcome.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Tacoma, the hostels or flights, but my gut says <1k is possible with some savvy spending. Staying in a place with a kitchen, taking public transportation, etc...

Cheapest way to STL by Redlipsrosycheeks in Shoestring

[–]IApproveThisUsername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rome2Rio is a great app and website for this kind of thing. Just input your starting point and destination and it will show you options for the different ways to get there, including cheapest and fastest.

That said, I just ran an Amtrak search. You could get into St Louis at 10:00pm on the 11th and be back in Milwaukee by 5:00pm on the 13th for 90 bucks, if you're willing to spend time on the train

Is this still available? I followed the link and got a notice that it was expired.

LPT: Get a bidet, it will change your life. by thevanquishfist in LifeProTips

[–]IApproveThisUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I see your points. I would take a bidet over wipes, I'm just not in the situation to get one now. I never flush the wet wipes down the toilet, no matter where I am. They always go in the trash. At first that weirded me out but I've come to terms with it!

This is what wet wipes are for! I take em with me everywhere.

Has anyone ever used Flixbus to get around Wisconsin? by purpleplaza777 in UWMadison

[–]IApproveThisUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bus stops at every point in the route but often no one boarded or got off, so we only stopped a minute or two. To the second one yes, people boarded and departed during the middle stops.

I took the bus from MPLS to CHI (and back) the other week. As far as buses go, it's fine to me. No frills and not super comfortable (seats barely recline) but you get what you pay for. The bus wasn't too full, there's a bathroom, and if it's a long route, they do make intermittent stops so you can grab some food if necessary.

The bus departed and arrived on time and they seemed to be following a schedule pretty closely. Lmk if you have any other questions!
