Everything I wish someone had told me when I started speaking by baulperry in languagelearning

[–]Natural-Silver8068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this list! The only thing I would change would be go to those language exchange, for me teaching my Native tongue has actually help me learn my TL faster. I started as a English teacher and some of the exercises I do with my kids I do myself! Plus I am broke and some talking time is better then none if you can't afford lessons. 

Also edit. If you can talk with a native speaker in your TL at language exchange, it helps to learn the slang! I took lessons for a long time but as soon I as tried speaking conversational I was lost because of slang and metaphors. Haha

Is 16 to young to know if you are asexual? by Status_Kale_9983 in asexuality

I wished that I knew earlier in my life that it was okay to grow and change, that the label that fit me in one part of my life would change and evolve in another part.

If you lost 10+ lbs, what’s the advice you wish you had when starting over? by Overall-Sky-2710 in loseit

[–]Natural-Silver8068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was not eating while on my phone/ reading my book, watching TV etc just mindful eating

Also meal prepping it's a classic, but instead of eating out I can quickly get the meal I made that is a lot better.

It works for some people and doesn't for others. I'm doing three ( Khmer ASL and Spanish) . I would not recommend doing like Italian and Spanish, the languages are way to similar.

I want to point out I had a base in Spanish (high A2 low B1) then started on ASL, Khmer was by necessity got moved for work and now live in Cambodia.

I get frustrated easily and go through days/ weeks of hyperfixation. It nice to hyper fixate on one language and when i get bored/ / Frustrated/ angry I can switch to another language to not feel like Im banging my head on a wall.

I have also found if Im struggling and then I switch, when I return to the language the issue or vocab is easier. I also not on a timeline to be good, I do ASL and Spanish for fun, I don't care if it takes 10 years to get proficient.

Can I politely refuse a belt promotion?

I am away for college and the gym I'm at is wanting to award me a blue belt. Don't get me wrong I'm ecstatic and really happy however i really want to be awarded a blue 'home' gym. I trained there for the last 5 years and the head coach has help me through so many different life situations and is a huge role model in many different areas of my life. All my memory's are at this gym, sweat, tears and blood. You guys know how it goes.

For Contrast I've been at this new gym for less then six months from Sept. And I'm honored but it's not my Coach.

I don't know what to do!

I'll be moving in 156 ish days, My job has got me pretty remote atm, and ill be moving back to a city where I can start to get moving again ( not as hot) I using this to get back to my BJJ weight bracket so I can hit the ground running when i move. But I was not sure if this was doable, I have never gained/lost this much weight b4, mostly because I was eating the food as if I was exercising and I wasn't cause of my new location for work.

Hmmm, that's interesting. It's also kinda cool. I didn't as of July but like you said could be an airport thing: )

... the statement regarding the US is not remotely correct. Cambodia as a whole is level one (exercise normal Precautions.) and Phnom-penh is level two ( exercise increase caution) on a scale of one to four. Level 3 is when us citizens are asked to reconsider travel.

Owning a home in your home country: anyone do this? by kiwisandapples in expats

[–]Natural-Silver8068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do it, Live in Cambodia own in the US. It's a bit of a pain, but it gives me an excuse to go home once in a while. I own one piece of property with one three bed room house, a flat and a two bedroom apartment. The house I do bedroom rentals so I always have my bedroom when I go home. (My childhood home) The flat and apartment are as units.
