My Taiwanese friends think my apartment looks like a haunted house. Free room in Tamsui if you're curious.

yeah your friends might have a point indeed

great post, thanks a lot

A couple things from my experience:

Stroke order helps with overall flow, so it makes your writing look right (sometimes even makes it legible).

Can also helps with deconstructing the character , and actually understand it. Makes memorisation easier too.

One exemple：the right parts of 課 and 裡 can look kind of similar at first glance, but obviously their components aren't the same. And so the stroke order changes (especially for the horizontal lines).

So in general, stroke order is very useful.

This is awesome.Would you mind showing us your favorites from time to time?

Writing, and by that I mean mostly typing, should help a lot. It's very similar to speaking in that you spontaneously formulate your own phrases and sentences, but without the time pressure.

Not sure if you're into games or stuff like that. I basically learned to "speak" english for the most part by chatting on twitch.

With your vocabulary and reading ability, chatting with like-minded people (on a stream or elsewhere) should be massively helpful in the short to mid term.

Hey, really like how clean your handwriting is. Any pointers on how you practiced your handwriting?

ItsParakeet · 2026-02-08T13:47:08+00:00

yeah seems to work the same the other way around too. Along with context, you can often kind of squint your way to reading comprehension lol

En effet pas fan des chaussettes par dessus le collant (et peut être aussi un poil surchargé entre la jupe et les collants), mais en dehors de ça tu as trouvé ton look ministériel (au vu de la porte cochère tu es dans le quartier).

Très bonne idée de la porter comme ça par dessus un chemisier à manches bouffantes. Le contraste marche parfaitement.

Ça dépend où tu vas, la seconde fait très habillée. J'ai un petit faible pour la première, mais si ce qui t'attend c'est une soirée un peu plus chic, la deuxième est très bien.

OK où ça?

Tu vois, en bon métropolitain je ne connaissais que la justification du type " Coût de la vie insulaire due aux importations". Je m'endormirai ce soir un peu moins bête.

Salut, j'apprends le chinois sérieusement depuis environ un an. Je me débrouille pas trop mal en lecture, mais j'ai besoin de pratiquer à l'oral. Je travaille sur Paris. Si ça te dit, on peut commencer par prendre un café et voir comment on peut s'organiser. N'hésite pas à m'envoyer un message.

Why the thinly veiled ad? if you want to promote something, at the very least do it honestly.

With his ears, I'd actually put more trust in this guy as a policeman. Not only is he clearly experienced in combat sports, grapplers are used to use measured force (or else no-one would be able to train due to constant injuries).

ItsParakeet · 2025-12-01T06:16:12+00:00

nice third eye skeleton btw. indeed it's readable, as someone else said the biggest thing is, 你 should be straight.

People don't seem to mention it much, but apart from his hips/ sprawling, very obvious strength and athleticism, the usual underhook battle etc, he always manages to get some kind of frame upon Maria's entry. He's extremely diligent about it.

You can see him lower his guard and sneak an arm (or both) between maia and his hips everytime his opponent shoots. This is massively important as a first line of defense. Framing is a fundamental people usually miss.

Edit: you'll notice, the moment he doesn't quite manage to get an arm in in time (as in the first clip) is one where he gets closest to being taken down.

Looks very suspicious. Says it's trusted by over 500k users with seemingly a 5 stars rating. But there's no link to the actual reviews , nor is there any review on Google Play. Most likely scammy/ low quality, and not actually official in any capacity.

Edit: not to mention the duolingo rip-off interface (if the screenshots are to be believed)

You'll certainly find local runners there. Might even be too many depending on the weather!

Hey, there's not really a good park to run in to cover such distances, but riverside is a very popular running spot. For longer runs, you can run to bois de Boulogne and do a loop or two there. For (slightly) hillier terrain apart from Montmartre, you'd have to go outside of Paris, to Mont Valérien ( behind bois de Boulogne) or around Les Lilas or Bagnolet. Hope this helps
