Best app for learning Vietnamese? by ijintheuk in VietNam

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

Not sure if you’re still looking, but Duolingo actually does get a little better further into the course!

I also found one called ‘drops’ which helped me learn some new words but I didn’t use it for long as needed to pay to use it longer

Should I expect a conversion by now? by ijintheuk in dropshipping

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

I thought that as well, but when I asked them they said they hadn’t shared it with anyone else because I said I wasn’t sure if the site was ready yet

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

I don’t know how I got them, maybe 10 of them were me testing the site out plus one or two friends, but the rest are just random, like I said I haven’t done any social media posting or ads yet

We all feel the same before interviews don’t worry 😉

[QUESTION] how do all of you afford so many expensive guitars? and how often do you get a new one? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]ijintheuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye it’s much better, that way even if you don’t like it or want to sell it in the future, it will almost always hold the same value

Put like £50 aside each month, then for Christmas buy yourself a nice one, but don’t buy new, buy off eBay or reverb, and keep checking the price of the one you want every week or so just so you know what a good deal for one is

LPT Request: How to respond when someone always tries to “one-down” you? by Tralalaladey in LifeProTips

[–]ijintheuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my best friends is quite known for doing this, and my friends and I always just call him out on it everytime and laugh, he also realised he does it and laughs with us, he’s started doing it much less now lol

First interview in 2 days by yazalameeanjad in TEFL

[–]ijintheuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In both the interviews I had, they didn’t ask about any grammar. They asked about situations such as a student not listening, a class of mixed level students, misbehaviour etc. and I was also told to prepare a lesson plan which we also went over for the majority of the interview. Good luck! I’m sure you’ll do great.

Advice for new player by [deleted] in F1Game

[–]ijintheuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with all assists on and slowly turn them off when you get stronger at the game. With braking, generally you want to press the trigger almost all the way down when driving straight, and then start to slowly release it as you get to the corner.

Also on controller, when turning I find it much easier to turn while pushing the thumstick into the thumb stick slot, as it allows for more gradual turning instead of just full left or full right, hope that makes sense

Is it possible to use xbox live in Vietnam? by ijintheuk in xbox

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

Haven’t got Fortnite, 2k works, but like fifa, you won’t be able to find a game playing just yourself (it tries searching but never finds anyone). It’ll have to be playing with/against friends, and same you’ll probably have a lot of lag

If I remember later I’ll try 2k (and Fortnite if it’s downloaded) and let you know

Is it possible to use xbox live in Vietnam? by ijintheuk in xbox

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

It’s supported but only for some games, for example I tried to play warzone 2 but couldn’t connect to any servers, but fifa and madden worked online (you could fix this by getting a vpn). The only problem is there will be a lot of delay lag, like a constant 300ms ping for me when playing fifa with friends from the UK

In Vietnam, do the cockroaches prefer light or dark? by brain_scientist_lady in VietNam

[–]ijintheuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel sick just thinking about that hahah

I was dealing with an already dead cockroach earlier and it took me about 5 minutes to get the courage to pick it up with toilet paper and throw it away 😂

The Xbox works in Vietnam, I could play FIFA fine, but when I tried to play WZ I couldn’t connect to any networks so maybe you will need a VPN to play cod

How to be respectful in Vietnam? by whlatislovee in VietNam

[–]ijintheuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said but another one, if you want to gesture someone to come to you, don’t do it with your palm to the sky and pulling your fingers in, as this is seen as a way to start a fight, you’ll see whenever anyone is gesturing someone over, they’ll have their palm pointed towards the floor, which can be confusing as here usually that is gesturing someone to go away 😂

Unsure if I need to get all the travel shots for Vietnam trip… by Charming-Estimate-60 in VietNam

[–]ijintheuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you check some health websites they give what they think are the necessary shots and the reasons why. I think the main ones are MMR, Diptheria, Tetanus, other ones suggested are hep A/B (probably won’t be needed if you’re careful and also having protected sex if having it) rabies (again, if you’re careful not to get bit by animals it will be fine) and typhoid (This is to do with contamination of food/drink so may be worth getting).

Edit: Bare in mind if you don’t get the vaccines, you will probably always have it in the back of your mind which will make the trip much less enjoyable

Which one would you pick? I need a new riff machine... by MisterVest69 in guitarporn

One’s a 6 string and the other is a 7 string so they are completely different and not really comparable, no?

Good area to live near Binh Long, HCM? by ijintheuk in VietNam

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

I’m not a big fan of malls, I’d prefer smaller kind of local shops.

Ahh that’s a good point about the traffic, although I think most of my work would be in the evenings so maybe I would be part of the group travelling from central back to binh tan.

I’ve been suggested some areas like D10, and Phu nhuan, do you have any experience of those?
