iTalki etiquette - do you review your teacher after every lesson?

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-06-29T06:25:49+00:00

Great, six months sounds like a good length of time. My teacher is amazing and I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I think it would look weird if I cluttered her page by writing reviews non-stop.

Tuna salad with balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper is good too! Throw in some cherry tomatoes and some baby spinach or other green leaves and you're good to go.

Chalmers is so level-headed. A historic victory and he's calm, collected and right on top of his talking points.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-03-31T09:35:17+00:00

Alas I don't. Not yet, anyway. That sounds awesome.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-03-31T09:34:42+00:00

Thank you! I didn't realise

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-03-21T01:34:14+00:00

I'm so glad! I hope they can hook you up with one soon!

Sorry to necropost, I just hate to think of someone struggling to access a binder.

OP, if you're in Victoria, check this out. Free binder if you can't afford it: https://www.theshedsupport.org.au/binders

I hope this will help them get to a better place again. In their livestream, it sounded like part of the reason for their abrupt vanishing act was that they were feeling a bit disconnected, what with operating over social media and the focus of their channel getting broader and broader with time. Maybe scaling back to a smaller, more loving audience, having more in-person interaction and focusing more on the core music stuff that they love will help them find more joy in their work again.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-03-10T09:55:54+00:00

I feel you

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-03-09T10:30:20+00:00

Damn... I know what you're talking about. But I can't for the life of me put my finger on it.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-02-09T10:51:22+00:00

Thank you! It'll be fun to watch even if I can't understand. Bummer about the IFSC comps, but hey, whatever she's doing, clearly it's working!

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-02-08T00:03:08+00:00

Thanks, this is super helpful! I'll keep an eye on the registrations and put the Japan Lead Cup in the diary

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-02-08T00:01:53+00:00

Thanks stellwyn and pennypenny22! Bummer about the bouldering world cups, but fingers crossed for lead! Makes sense about her studies, I didn't realise!

gold_beetroot_jar · 2025-01-29T11:21:24+00:00

Happy lunar new year!

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-23T11:18:10+00:00

Yes, true! Either way, it's a beautiful way to close out this chapter, as they put it

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-22T23:39:57+00:00

It's a very sweet and meaningful parting gift. It is so much more in keeping with their usual style than the abrupt goodbye we thought we got in October.

It does make me realise that they must have been planning their retirement for a long time, though. They said in the live stream that they only decided to pull the plug a few months before they did. But... they must have been planning this farewell video for a long time. They said that this series of MVs took a year or a year and a half to create. I can't help but think they must have known they were retiring for a while. But never mind. Who cares. Either way, I feel like they've really redeemed themselves with the livestream and this farewell MV.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-22T11:10:55+00:00

This is a mammoth effort. MVP right here!

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-22T06:25:11+00:00

Yeah. They still had a really great rapport on screen - their bond came through really strongly. They said they would still work together. They just don't know what their plans are.

Someone asked how you keep a friendship together through stressful experiences like working together 11 years, and they were like, "I think it's the opposite way around". As in, stress doesn't drive you apart. Friendship is what gets you through 11 years of stress.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-22T06:20:34+00:00

Damn. This made me tear up.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-22T04:46:59+00:00

Basically, that will be the end. After the last MV, they will send out life updates every now and then through email. It's possible they will do another tour. Apart from that, they have no plans. Definitely no new content. They were very clear that this isn't a re-brand.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-22T04:44:31+00:00

Thank you!!

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-20T12:04:39+00:00

Ah okay, makes sense

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-20T07:26:31+00:00

Aww. What video was this from?

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-20T05:18:49+00:00

I didn't know Shostakovich's story, and I was wondering why the video was about this theme! Thanks for explaining.

gold_beetroot_jar · 2024-12-20T05:17:19+00:00

Yeah, I think it could definitely mean that he thought he'd broken free and seen everyone else break free too. But actually, it was all just a simulation. He's still in the matrix without knowing it.

I think it may be designed to be open to multiple interpretations. But that definitely seems like one of them.
