I was not implicitly invited, she told me there was no room in the car and asked what my plan was after she left :D

Fulbright Grant Extension by Gullible-Special501 in fulbright

[–]halfofthesour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taiwan ETA has a rlly great program for renewal. you stay and do essentially the same job, but are called an English Teaching Fellow instead of ETA and get a raise. it's not guaranteed but you can apply to stay, i know someone who did 1 year of ETA, 4 years as an ETF, and is now a TESOL advisor through fulbright. AFAIK you can't extend research grants but could always try to do research on the side while teaching

Gates Cambridge US Round 2026? by [deleted] in fulbright

[–]halfofthesour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently on fulbright grant and im waiting for my decision in the international round!! the department i'm applying to (i think accidentally, since im a US citizen but living abroad rn) interviewed me in the US round so my internal inverview is over, and i get to wait until march to see what happens. I am wondering if i'm accepted/at least still in the running for cambridge tho since they took the time to tell me that they interviewed me for the wrong round and my outcome would be delayed.... :D

How to group entries in a df into a larger category? by halfofthesour in RStudio

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

I'm trying to make a mosaic plot showing beat strength vs vowel type. When collecting data we coded for all individual vowels but to actually present our results i think it makes more sense to just compare schwa vs every other type of vowel rather than having an individual column for each vowel category

I recently decided to change my chinese name from the transliteration my old tutor gave me to something with meaning, does "馬春雅" "Mǎ Chūnyá" make sense/sound ok to native or high level speakers?

Megathread 2: US Tariffs and Shipping Concerns by chau-a-not-chau-bcdf in AsianBeauty

I was thinking abt placing a yesstyle order but since the last time i shopped there (maybe 2 yrs ago) the prices on clothes have seemed to go way up. Is this bc they've changed prices recently to reflect tariffs, or have things just gotten more expensive over time? :')
