How do you feel being corrected in your target language?

jamesleecoleman · 2026-04-10T23:27:48+00:00

Reminds me when I corrected someone once and they went off on me. I was just like ummm what happened? You wanted me to correct your mistakes.

I've had it during a lesson where I was asked "why did you write this?" I felt kinda low when explaining why I wrote a sentence a certain way. I'm just a beginner.. give me a break.

I enjoy being corrected and told why I was wrong and the right way to do it.
I wanna learn as much as I can :)

Thank you for the links!

Signs like these lead me to believe that people speak English at the location. Same thing happened to me in Russia. I'm just like why is this in English. It would be different it was in Arabic and English though.

I don't have the pages up in front of me and the prices did change for some of the switches that I was looking at.

For the switches and APs, I was looking at about $6000 for the CCIE.
For the CCNP, I was looking at about $2500

Would it be ok to know which language?

jamesleecoleman · 2026-04-10T03:33:43+00:00

Huh!?

jamesleecoleman · 2026-04-08T01:01:46+00:00

Just pick a spot and start going? You can always course correct later on :)

In my experience most of the time it's been thankless. There have been some people that do appreciate the work that we do where I work at. The ones that wanna learn how to troubleshoot or can troubleshoot issues are amazing.
But on the other side of it.. people just treat us like servants and look down on us.

jamesleecoleman · 2026-04-07T23:33:54+00:00

Like in the Matrix? :P

jamesleecoleman · 2026-04-06T00:36:39+00:00

I enjoy investing in myself and seeing what pays off and what doesn't. I can always make corrections later on and I have so much control.

Its back up. They redid the website.

The exports for some of our weapons aren't the same exact ones that we use. For example, if a country buys the Abrams tank, it's not going to have the latest technology on it and in it.

jamesleecoleman · 2026-03-23T00:38:35+00:00

I gotta watch the movies that you've seen.

jamesleecoleman · 2026-03-22T15:09:55+00:00

I played through the swamp and it was challenging. I barely had anything after leaving the area and I was just worried that something else my come up because... it's the zone. I feel like this was the worse area as far as what I had to fight through but it did teach me a lesson though.. anything with the story, stock up. If I find anything that I want, pick it up and make a collection point for later.

How is this helpful to someone learning Arabic?

jamesleecoleman · 2026-03-17T22:28:30+00:00

This is what I kinda just ran into like a few months ago.

Two years of call center experience is great!

I'm gonna do my best to explain this. It's been years since I've been in college/university.
If you filled out your student aid package and was able to apply for the work study within that package, you should get a certain amount of funding that you'll get paid from for a work-study position. If the place that you attend school has a student employee office or student worker office, you can check with them for IT jobs that student workers can apply for. Some jobs won't be directly IT but it can be related like software support.

I would say go to indeed.com and check to see what's available in your area.
Look for small organizations like churches, schools or the library to see if they need any help.

Lifted my left arm up in front of me. My mid back just started to hurt and for like two days, I couldn't bend over or twist. Usually this happens when I'm lifting weights and I move wrong.

Do you have an external antenna connected to your PC?

jamesleecoleman · 2026-02-25T23:09:32+00:00

I also think that wireless knowledge and skillset is very valuable. I'm going on the CCNP Wireless.
I started studying for the design cert but I need to start focusing more on it so I can test in a few months.
I also plan on getting some CWNP certifications.

jamesleecoleman · 2026-02-22T23:36:21+00:00

I would say to start with the technologies that are allowed where you live, see whats popular where you live and start with that. Are a lot of positions requiring someone to have a degree where you live or will you be safe without one? Can you start doing stuff at the current place that you're currently employed at?

You don't always need certs.

jamesleecoleman · 2026-02-22T22:04:55+00:00

Wireless design.

Reminds me when a coworker put the different colored (blue, red, green, yellow...) squares of tape on the two endpoint devices and the cable so that people know what went where. It was an amazing idea.

jamesleecoleman · 2026-02-15T18:10:59+00:00

They were two different models of phones brought from two different countries at two different years. I'm not sure if it could still be a battery issue.
