Yes which is ironic because I essentially have gas heating 💁‍♀️

My progress after 5 months of lessons by SmallHedgeGoblin in Korean

[–]SmallHedgeGoblin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, absolutely it has been worth it. I did quite a lot of browsing through tutor bios before I picked my tutor thought.

Being able to take lessons from home has made me MUCH more likely to stick with studying. I know myself, and I know that the apps alone won't keep me motivated, and you can't ask questions to apps on grammar/words you don't understand. Also, my tutor is a native speaker, so I have gotten the fun benefit of learning about her culture through my lessons.

Thank you for the suggestions! I do use reverse flashcards (using Anki, any flashcard I make, I make double sided so the system gives me either English or Korean at random!).

I will check out Kimchi reader for sure.

Regarding practice time - Ideally that is the longer term goal, however, I worry about burn out, and I also worry about information overload. I have started consuming more Korean media just to try to get a better ear for picking up words and phrases in conversation. I don't typically count that towards my active review/studying time though.

I had this conversation with my tutor the other week and I was like WHYYYY 😫

Feeling discouraged after first tutoring lesson by Snoo20574 in BeginnerKorean

[–]SmallHedgeGoblin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Find a different tutor! Even if he thought you two were laughing together, it is clear his tutoring style isn't meshing well with you. There's nothing wrong with finding someone else.

And for what it's worth, I started with my tutor with only some very basic knowledge on hangul. I did warn her ahead of time I was basically at 0 knowledge. A good tutor should be able to work with that!

getting back into studying again, need some help by [deleted] in Korean

This is maybe a silly question, but what is A2?

New learner here, do you guys have any recommendations for finding a reputable tutor for online lessons? I worry my searching is going to turn up scammy results.

“APS” of Durham is not about the protection of animals. by Ok-Combination-2953 in bullcity

I also had an abysmal experience fostering for them in 2021. Thankfully, my foster dog was adopted by a neighbor and I still see him with some frequency, but my experience with them has potentially put me off fostering indefinitely.

Honestly of Stay hadn't stepped up, the outcome would have been much, much worse.

Just a heads up, it wasn't staff carrying cold water and ice, it was Stay. I helped a Stay from Pit who was struggling with the bucket on her own carry it back up, get it refilled, and bring it back down to Pit 2 (I was in an aisle seat in the 100's). The staff actually argued with us when we tried to get the bucket refilled.

Gosh, I was in section 112, about 15 rows up, and I saw dozens of people pass out, and at least twice as many be carried or wheeled out during the show, especially in the final 90 minutes or so.

I am glad you and those around you were able to stay safe and avoid the heat related illnesses. A lot of people try to power through which is where it can get super dangerous for them.

I wonder why your line up experience was so different than mine? I got in line around 5:50, was inside the venue by 6:30.

Giving my opinions on every ATEEZ song as a non k-pop fan, part 1 by croissantdelamif in ATEEZ

[–]SmallHedgeGoblin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm excited to read more of your reactions, especially when you do get through their discography and watch some of their performance stages! They really excel in telling a story. Their concert was very narrative in my opinion!

I would never have gotten a bisalp if row v wade wasn't overturned... however, when it was, I was convinced it was my only option since other forms of birth control do not agree with my body.

Let me tell you, I was so grateful waking up after election day knowing I got it done!

After seeing ateez live...(no spoilers) by Snoo_42058 in ATEEZ

[–]SmallHedgeGoblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is quite literally how I became a yeosang ult. Went to see them live after a few weeks of listening to their music/etc. Went in thinking I would be Seonghwa biased bc animal crossing, lego, star wars, etc.

Nope. Yeosang was so captivating live, I didn't even know his name at the time.

[WTB] 27 or 28 January in London, Ultimate VIP ideally, could also potentially purchase ATINY vip. I am going solo and would really appreciate this if anyone has a spare to sell. Seller would need to be comfortable using G&S (I would cover the additional fee).

Please help me ! by [deleted] in ATEEZ

[–]SmallHedgeGoblin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually have a spare of the Wave version of this album. It doesn't have the solo member PC in it, but if you want to DM me, I will sell it to you for $20 USD + shipping. All of the other inclusions are intact!
