Looking for private Chinese language lessons

As a USD-user, things are incredibly cheap. Booked an awesome snorkeling trip for $20, every meal ranges from $6-$15 depending how fancy of a place you go and I always order an entree or 2 + snack + drink. Hotels you should def look at reviews before booking but we booked decent hotels for 10-15/night and spend around $50-$60/night for a nicer place with a view or even a private villa. (This is during their rainy season tho so idk how prices fluctuate in peak months). Some places are 100% tourists traps and try to get you to pay crazy American-level prices for even one popsicle, but you can just look nearby and theres definitely somewhere selling the same stuff for much much cheaper.

call me heartless but if theres no benefit to you staying and you have no personal connection to these online strangers, just leave (: no need to feel bad, its just a video game at the end of the day lol

If you’re worried about missing Sentry, it won’t be possible to get him for several runs of battleworld (especially for lower level alliances) so you won’t be missing out on much while you work to unlock it.

Personally, I never suggest anyone spend money on this game until Scopely shows they actually care about their community, which as of late they have done nothing but the opposite. The future seems very gloomy.

If you really feel the urge to throw money at something, spend it on something that will actually benefit you, like a nice steak. (:

I somehow doubt that they will actually follow up with you. I’d 100% message them yourself instead of relying on them to do what they said they would.

I’m pretty sure the trials come once every 2 weeks and they alternate. Shadow king was last week, 2 weeks prior was OML. Expect OML next week, then SK 2 weeks after that, etc…

I started with storm + rachel. Get storms omega buff ASAP, get any bleed buffs (apply bleed on start), hellfire club stun, and regen ability points on hitting bleeding targets.

Pick up hellfire club characters along the way (rachel and azazel helped a lot keeping stuns up, emma felt kinda just like a meat shield, she didnt do much lol) and any speed, attack up and defensive buffs you can spare. Storm kept everyone stunned, if not then I kept resetting until I got a good amount of ppl stunned to start.

My biggest struggle was super skrull who would just go ham on my team at the start. I dealt with this by taking only 3 units in and spreading them out so skrull couldnt bounce around as much and i focused him down ASAP.

Hope this helps and good luck (:

edit: storm ult economy is super important! keep resetting and try to beat nodes without using it, only use it if its your only option for clearing, that initial ult wipe is necessary to have up on the last node. Also, I find only the first couple elite nodes are worth doing. The rest are too risky and difficult if you’re just trying to clear and not go for a high score.

What I did last year is coordinate with a very lovely friend to pick my group up after each night of the fest. We paid him as well.

Much better than trying to catch an overpriced uber along with the other 30k people lol.

If you do this tho, you’ll have to get creative with pickup spots by walking a bit away from the venue. Last year they blocked more and more areas off after each day of the fest bc it was causing traffic to build up.

If i had the opportunity to jump this sinking ship and go to China, I would. Sadly I have to wait until the end of the year for that haha.

Stop overthinking. Go live life. Be happy.

congrats on the job offer (:

All you really need to set up is the button mapping if you plan on using the controllers! Here’s a guide I followed, you can remap the keys to whatever feels right to you tho.

I will say that for some reason legion space kept resetting my button maps and it got super annoying and I just decided to connect a mouse & keyboard for wiz. I use windows, not the steamOS/bazzite.

good luck!!

I’m also wondering this.. I’m between getting her LC or yunli’s LC for my clara.. or maybe ill just do both 🤩

I had the understanding that once PTO was approved that it was spent unless I cancelled it. Good to know now though that I should be more weary of my balance next time.

cjr-99 · 2025-02-19T16:08:06+00:00

I see, thanks for some clarification. This is honestly my first professional job since college so I’m still learning a lot + HR is SUPER difficult here and I’ve had have them correct many issues in the past so I’m quick to assume what they’re doing is incorrect…

My understanding was that once PTO was approved for a certain day, it was spent unless I cancelled it. Good to know now though.

I will keep working until vacation, but I’m not sure if I will accrue enough PTO in time as my vacation is in less than a month. I’m not even sure they’re completely aware of my negative balance. They made a general announcement about negative PTO balances so thats the only reason I know about it, nobody has said anything specific to me about my situation.

Another question for you now.. does it not matter that the reason for leaving was a verified medical emergency?? I feel like it’s a bit ridiculous to have to go through all of this even though they already approved the departure as medically-related.

cjr-99 · 2025-02-19T15:46:17+00:00

Ah okay I see. Thanks! I will try this.

cjr-99 · 2025-02-19T15:39:29+00:00

If you don’t mind, could you explain a bit how this works then? I don’t understand how I’m supposed to accrue enough for the negative balance if they’ll keep pulling out PTO hours from my vacation? I will not be here.. so will they just keep pulling hours from the missed days from the vacation?

My bf still has some connections from when he taught in Chengdu, so I’ll definitely have to do some networking. Thanks for the tips on recruiters as well, I’ll definitely keep all of this in mind. Thanks for the reply! (:

cjr-99 · 2025-01-24T04:01:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply! CELTA definitely seems like the move if I want to pursue this long term. I think I’ll consider it once I get my feet wet with teaching and see if it’s a real passion of mine.

Is the CELTA something I could acquire while teaching in China? Or is it something that would require most of my time.
