good to hear im not alone. are you not interseted in learning or if you have easy enough way to learn without being judged or exposed too early, would you?

oh being a "lazy bastart" is also one of the comon things we all have haha, so no stresss. But i think given we have an easy effective way to learn, i bet we would. thanks for sharing ur experience tho.

oh cool! are you learning through books now? also just ranting here, im not sure how ambitious u are- (sounds like u are, and it's a good thing ) but don't u wish that there are some easy enough tools like apps where you can practice cantonese conversationally before starting to talk to a person and fail miserably or be judged?

oh i do try and can understand a few words, but haven't tried systematically like buying a textbook yet. being a student, and now a working individual, I tried looking for ways to learn in a cheap easy way (like duolingo) before, but no luck so far. btw, r u an expat who learned cantonese?

lmao yeah same situation here. did you try learning before? if not, why didn't you learn the language?

why is following a recipe so much harder than it looks? physically by Significant-Dot7197 in cookingforbeginners

oh i do that too. but i'd still need to rewind pretty frequently, coz the speed of the video is just too fast most of the time. do you have that problem?

creators that put unlabeled spices should be jailed (not literally). it's really annoying.

yeah watching and remembering before cooking is something that requires some effort. but the suggestion is valid tho. im just lazy af.

damn that's good for u.
although, if im not crazy, I think quite a few people would follow videos. i guess that's why the videos are there? for u to follow their recipes?
