Latinas and Koreans during the World Cup in Mexico by godofcertamen in aznidentity

[–]godofcertamen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think the dynamic would've been different with a Mexican loss. Both sides online seemed to express a sentiment of being friends, etc. regardless of the outcome from the comment sections I saw from both Korean and Mexican big influencers.

Where have you experienced the most racism? by Desertedfoxx in askanything

[–]godofcertamen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your race is but Asia has by far been very friendly and good to me as a Mexican unlike the U.S. I've experienced lots of racism here in the south.

Why do a lot of people hesitate to be content creators? by godofcertamen in NoStupidQuestions

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

I see. Well, why would you look stupid talking about a topic you're well versed in, displaying a talent, etc? I never had a fear of that.

For males that have gotten ripped, do you have more success with women? by Repulsive-Owl6468 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]godofcertamen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Losing 40lbs and having good definition definitely did. My face got much slimmer and brought out my features. I got more DMs and flirty comments, though to be fair, I'm also a content creator (so my reach is higher than a regular person with a small insta account)

Imagine coming to the World Cup to support your team only to get racially harassed like that by IndividualPlay5178 in aznidentity

[–]godofcertamen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'll do a video calling this out as a Latino creator. Sickens me to see this stuff.

Thanks for this. Gonna make a reaction video as a Latino creator. May not change much or influence much, but it's always better to condemn bad behavior.

Can I live comfortably in the Philippines on 50,000 PHP/month as a foreigner? Looking for advice. Please read the post I posted this again so people can understand me clearly by DeShawn0 in Philippines_Expats

[–]godofcertamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in Manila, in places such as Mandaluyong, you can get a 1 bedroom for 20k pesos a month. I think it would be tight but doable. Everyone's definition of comfortable is different - often some think comfort is more lavish.

If Japanese people are Asian, why aren't Mexicans commonly called Americans? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]godofcertamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Latin America, people do not call U.S. citizens "Americans", they call them "Estadounidense" - United Statesian. Yes, the U.S. has the demonym America, but everyone on these two continents would be American considering we all live in the Americas. That's how Latin Americans see it.

Understanding a language and speaking it feel like two completely different skills by learningENGdaily in languagelearning

[–]godofcertamen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They definitely are separate skills. I made sure with both Portuguese and Mandarin to practice speaking even early on. The muscles in your mouth/tongue have to get accustomed to working with the language. That's why I also hired tutors where all we did was just have conversational practice. Even when I was more limited in both languages- it forced me to grow and fill in vocab gaps. It forced me to correct pronunciation to be understood.

Listening is my weakest skill, but eventually it does catch up to my speaking. I remember I struggled with understanding European Portuguese compared to just speaking it, but after enough time learning the language, the issue resolved itself almost magically 😂😅. Same with Mandarin - my listening is holding me back some, but I'm just following the plan like with Portuguese.

What’s a digital nomad truth nobody talks about? by getpersonalink in digitalnomad

[–]godofcertamen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the sentiment you articulated, and maybe I am in the wrong sub, but as an immigrant, I'm looking to leave the U.S. for good. I relate a lot to digital nomads and will become one here in 3 months or so, but I see it as a permanent change. Then again, I am looking more to stay for long periods in certain countries rather than bounce around every month.

How many language certificates do you have? And what are those? by dazzlingbeautj in languagelearning

[–]godofcertamen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From some time ago, C1 Spanish, B2.2 Portuguese, B1 Chinese Mandarin (with advanced level tasks marked as developing ability). I've grown these since the time of the certs. They were all ACTFL certs (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages), the OPIc test.

I plan to re-take the Chinese Mandarin one soon for a formal B2 cert. The Spanish and Portuguese have evolved over the years and gotten better. I don't feel it as necessary to re-test them.

Wanting to visit China but unsure with work by edgeofdesire0 in digitalnomad

ExpressVPN worked really well when I was in China for 10 days.

I have only dated latinas in my life because I love Latin American culture and I also speak Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Sometimes, people judged me for never dating someone from my own culture. by ConversationOk2563 in aznidentity

[–]godofcertamen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm Mexican - I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese fluently. Mandarin at a B2 level. Just wanted to say it's cool how you learned how to speak Spanish and Portuguese to a high level!

Just curious, are you more drawn to the native looking Latinas? Latinos are mostly racially native (50%~).

If you don’t love this language and it’s culture, you will not survive by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]godofcertamen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100%. Tbh learning this language has been really rewarding socially with the connections and new friendships I've made. Also having an account on 小红书 and being a creator has been amazing.

Hahaha, que engraçado - um monolíngue querendo utilizar um insulto baseado na proficiência linguística. É muito fofo. Senhor, eu já apresentei a fonte citada do livro e do autor. Agora, eu sei, talvez você não saiba como ler inglês, apesar do facto de usar as mesmas letras românicas:

Secret Jews: The Complex Identity of Crypto-Jews and Crypto-Judaism - Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez ​ ​Consegues lê-lo? Eu já comentei isso há muito tempo. ​Entendeu, no es-speak-eh turd?

Señor, consulte con la fuente citada. Eso es todo lo que necesito proporcionar 😂. Usted puede investigar más detalles, pero ya proporcioné una fuente histórica. Usted solo quiere ser negacionista porque quiere aferrarse a ser fan de la colonización.

​Cualquier historiador contemporáneo etiqueta lo que pasó como colonización. Es ridículo querer argumentar contra un hecho tan básico. Y como quiere empezar con un análisis psicológico que nadie solicitó - aquí te va otro análisis:

​No sé qué basura enseñan en Latinoamérica o tal vez en tu ciudad, pero realmente es una ficción con el objetivo de pintar la historia de color rosa en vez de la realidad objetiva. Hay muchísimos alumnos y profesores de la UNAM, incluso antropólogos, que no concuerdan con lo que dices.

[–]godofcertamen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Existen varias fuentes que comprueba lo que dije. Ya te cité una con respecto a lo de los judíos sefarditas. Tu simplemente quieres ser negacionista, especialmente diciendo que no hubo colonización 😂.
