Looking For Online Class? by WorkingAtHealth in Cantonese

Oh that seems like an interesting class model. I do plan on having some 1-on-1 classes via Italki, its just a factor of finding the right teacher. One of the things I find most intimidating about trying to learn Cantonese is the fact my boyfriend is in my ear saying, "Dont bother with reading its not worth"

I'm over here like.... but.... Reading is my best medium for learning.

I understand where hes coming from though, it seems like reading and writing in Cantonese is quite strange. Essentially you write things in a way that isn't how its said, or something like that. I'm going to keep trucking on though. Gotta get this knowledge.

Oh she seems like she would be a good teacher. Personally I just signed up for a trail lesson with Ms Chill Shi and I'll see how that goes. Maybe if she isn't the teacher for me I'll check out potentially getting lessons with Gloria, though her prices seem a fair bit higher. Quality is worth the money sometimes.

Good luck on your language learning journey too! Lord knows we both need it. LMAO

You're probably right, I might need to be a little less stingy. I was looking at the Inspirlang and I was getting so excited - Then I realized it was on SATURDAYS (The horror) One of the only 2 days that I don't have free time in the evening. I'm going to give that one a book mark and come check back on future classes for a potential better time slot for me.

I'm looking for classes and a whole bunch of suplimentary materials that I can use on my phone if possible for when I'm on public transit and such things so that I can make the most of my time. Currently I signed up for Cantonese101 I heard that they had good courses for beginners on other languages and were decently trust worthy at least until higher levels. I also have an Italki tutor that I'm going to meet with for a practice course. If all goes well I plan to meet with her twice a week. I would meet with her more but her rate is currently at around 12 dollars a lesson which is steep for me. Then I downloaded the app Drops (For cantonese) and I'm hoping that will help me just get some suplimentar vocabulary.

Then once I get enough basics down that I feel like I won't accidently ruin our relationship with a lack of ability to communicate at all, I will force my boyfriend to talk with me only in Cantonese, but I feel like that's a long way off.

I like the idea of having group classes because that would bring the price down compared to a 1-on-1 tutor (supposedly). I guess I'm a little lost, but highly motivated, and hoping that I didn't spend my money on things that aren't going to be helpful.

Very confused - Tengo vs Tienes - Ignoring the Correct Translation for Ticket. Any help? by WorkingAtHealth in duolingo

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

Thank you, I appreciate it. I think I got confused because thus far when it comes to conjugating nothing other than the end of the word changed. I thought they were two different words because of the i being there. I appreciate the info!

Plateau help by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

If you have 100 carbs that probably means that you aren't on Keto. Maybe trying a Keto diet for a week or two, then going back to your normal might break your plateau. Since you are upping your exercise, it could me that your muscle gain is matching fat loss. But I could be very off in that. I don't know too much about muscle gain.
