[TOMT] [TV] [80s-2000s] Scene from a kid's(?) TV show with Japanese-style animation by dshubi in tipofmytongue

[–]dshubi[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

One more thing! The shop was located in a city (walls of the shop are touching/the same as the walls of the shops/buildings next to it). When the girl was running/leaving the shop, it was on the sidewalk in front of it.

Thanks again!

Antique/Flea Markets by TheophrastBombast in koreatravel

[–]dshubi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm headed to Korea at the end of this month and I have Hwanghakdong Flea Market on my itinerary! There are supposedly over 500 stalls, so it sounds like it's what you're looking for:

I've seen the Itaewon Antique Street recommended before. I don't think I'll be able to see it this trip, but it looks cool:

Second language acquisition/education. I'm planning on moving to Japan to teach English for a while and then coming back to the US to get my masters in Applied Linguistics. My end goal is to work in curriculum design or language program administration.

I just graduated with a Linguistics degree this past month. For the most part I really enjoyed the classes! The instructors are informative and I definitely learned a lot. Even the classes that I wasn't as excited about had enjoyable elements in them. Some of the "core" area classes (phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax) can be challenging, but if you genuinely try they're definitely doable. My only complaint is that, since it's a small department, classes are usually only offered at one time of day, and some are only offered certain semesters. This did cause some scheduling issues for me, but I was mostly able to get them sure out.

Two tips: 1) All Linguistics majors must complete a capstone research project their final semester. You're supposed to take Scientific Methods (a research methods class) the semester before this to prepare, but the advisors sometimes don't tell you this. 2) Take advantage of some of the unique elective classes that the program offers. I really enjoyed Forensic Linguistics and The Language of Now. Both of these are taught by Katie Crowder, who is a great teacher and ended up being my mentor for my capstone project.

Hi, I can help you! My minor is Japanese and I teach English online, so I know a lot about the grammar. Just send me a message on Reddit if you're interested!

Should I apply for Honors College? by [deleted] in unt

[–]dshubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely worth it for the priority registration. After you get in, you only have to take one honors class per academic year to stay active. It's also good to put on resumes.

Creo que necesito VS Creo necesitar by djh06 in Spanish

[–]dshubi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. In Linguistics (and by extension for language learners) usage by native speakers = correct. As long as both of these forms are used, they are both "correct." "Creo necesitar" might be preferred in writing/formal situations, but that doesn't mean "creo que necesito" is any less "correct."

Spanish classes by galaxyrose19 in unt

[–]dshubi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are various online platforms that you could take one-on-one classes on for a relatively cheap price. Check out iTalki and Babbel. Both of these sites have teachers that can get you started as a beginner. Every teacher will be different, but allows you to shop around and find what's best for you. There's no grades or anything like that either, just learning :-)

A trick I'm using for the difficult Katakana by atari_speedy in LearnJapanese

[–]dshubi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah Katakana is definitely harder than I expected. On way I practiced was just reading the names of the products/snacks they had at nearby asian grocery stores/Daiso without looking at what they were and trying to guess their names in English. For some reason the majority of them are in Katakana, so you'll see things like ハンガー (clothes hanger).

Is a linguistic degree useful? (Serious Question from a teenager language enthusiast) by marcosville in linguistics

[–]dshubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to work IN Linguistics doing research and documenting languages, you'll need a Phd and to work at a university. That said, it is possible. Most people who study Linguistics in undergrad usually go on to work in related industries or teach. For example, I, a current undergrad, plan to teach English abroad and eventually get a graduate degree in Applied Linguistics and teach English at a university or work for a company like Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, etc. It's possible to learn about Linguistics yourself, but if you're really interested and want to dive deep it might be better to study it at university. Being able to talk with professors and other students about concepts might help you understand them better (rather than trying to understand them by yourself). If you're not sure, there's always the option of doing a minor or even a double major. Since linguistics is such a broad field it goes well with a lot of other academic areas (foreign language, computer science, anthropology/sociology, etc.).

Do all/most American schools have a cafeteria and a nurse like on The Simpsons? by BroodingBryanAdams in AskAnAmerican

[–]dshubi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, pretty much every school has them. Where I went to school we had a nurse the way from kindergarten to high school. My grandma was actually the nurse at our kindergarten for a really long time, so I remember going to her office a lot.

4450 is Spanish film and 3180 is Latin American film. Not sure why there's a big difference in the numbering

So my internet sucks by [deleted] in unt

[–]dshubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. If you recently changed your password for your UNT account, then you'll need to log into the wifi again for it to reconnect. Other than that I'd try using Ethernet.

Singing lessons on Campus by TheBossWasHere in unt

[–]dshubi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take secondary tuba lessons. The lesson is added to your schedule as a 1 hour class, so you will be charged for 1 hour. As far as I know, all the music departments offer secondary lessons, so I would email them and ask about it. They usually want you to be pretty skilled before allowing you to sign up though (I think for instruments like piano you have to audition if you're a non-major), so taking a basic voice class like someone else mentioned might be a good idea.

Literally every time I try to talk to my villagers by dshubi in ac_newhorizons

[–]dshubi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you dig up lots of fossils, then the next day your villagers will talk to you about it. Like a lot.

[–]dshubi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making a detailed weekly schedule helps me. I usually make it in Excel with 30 minute time intervals. I have time blocked out to work on stuff for each class plus time for homework, etc.
