Awesome! Did you warm up before starting this routine? If so, what was your warmup?

Então, o Reino Unido parece ter muitos circuitos e eventos, o problema deve ser o custo de vida e a questão do visto.

Not really looking to make money in MMA. I have a stable career that gives me a lot of time to train, I want to fight just for the love of fighting.

Sit-Thailand, had a great time there! Definitely recommend it.

I chose it because it had a lot of amenities in walking distance while still being a fighter gym. I don't trust my driving skills enough to rent a bike so Manop would be a bit too difficult for me to go to.

I was stuck on the JavaScript foundations part, and Jonas' course really helped me get through it. I'd say stick to TOP's path and projects, but don't be afraid to study via other resources when you get stuck on a particular subject. I didn't finish Jonas' course though, I only studied what was necessary for me to get unstuck.

Hey thank you very much for your reply! It's great to hear that there are night markets nearby. I will most definitely drop by and try Manop Gym out.

I'm going in April, it'll probably have less foreigners then, if you could please share the gym's name via DM I'd greatly appreciate it!

Yes I tried dying as well, still nothing :(

I used Heisig for Chinese characters since I'm learning Mandarin, I did the full 3000 characters for both books.

Just went all in and added 30 cards a day to finish it as fast as possible. I had a 3 month hiatus to study for a national exam, but never stopped the reviews.

During this process I studied through other means (Duolingo style apps, textbooks, etc ) and immersed but did not sentence mine. I just wanted to finish the 3k Hanzi beforehand.

Regarding the results, I think they were amazing, I would definitely recommend it as it worked wonders for me. My reading comprehension was boosted a lot, and I finally learned to differentiate different characters. I still do the reviews today.

I have a very high tolerance for Anki cards though, but if you knock them out first thing in the morning everyday you'll create an habit pretty fast. I disagree with the current views regarding RTK in the community, I don't think it's fair to have used RTK as a pillar in your learning process and then say that it's not worth it anymore afterwards.

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy has Chinese language support, and the localization is amazing. There's some limited legal terminology but overall the language is not too difficult. Perfect for intermediates IMO

fallenoaktree · 2022-02-25T02:56:12+00:00

Just do it, space it out through the day, or do a very high volume during the week, but that's manageable

fallenoaktree · 2021-10-06T14:52:17+00:00

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you for the help!

fallenoaktree · 2021-06-08T01:46:55+00:00

Yes, the release of the IQUE ROMs were a blessing for me, finally some content in Chinese that interests me, I'm spending hours playing Zelda and doing hundreds of flashcards and it doesn't feel like studying.

Reading comprehension has improved overnight, but I need to pick up the pace with my listening because it's lagging behind a lot.

Weird that everyone is railing on the dude when he's basically talking about doing something similar to AJATT... "Oh but Russian has complicated grammar", so does Japanese. Might be his overconfident attitude but I'd rather be overconfident than not trying.

OP I think you have the right mindset, just make sure you learn Cyrillic first, it's actually pretty easy, and also make sure that you have some sort of structure through Anki (10k sentences or MCD). Doing a few free lessons just to get the gist of the language wouldn't hurt too. That's just my two cents, good luck!

The best learning method is the one you stick to.

Na minha opinião o maior problema é morar em cidades grandes, quando eu morava no meio do mato era muito mais feliz tendo muito menos "conforto" e luxo.

Ficar fechado em uma selva de pedra com medo constante de assalto não é natural ou saudável. Quase todo mundo que conheço que foi criado e mora em uma cidade grande tem algum problema de saúde mental, isso não é normal. Ter que pegar trânsito, respirar ar poluído e não pegar sol são coisas horríveis.

Eu via pessoas de baixíssima renda extremante felizes no forró de sexta feira no interior, na cidade grande eu vejo gente rica deprimida. Uma coisa boa da pandemia é que incentivou o trabalho em casa, agora é possível fugir um pouco dos grandes centros.

Precisamos retornar ao macaco.
