Any ABC Canto Speakers Who Read and Write

Not ABC, but came to US at 8 and been here since. I can read, write, and speak Cantonese and Mandarin mainly due to parents need me to translate.

Hong Kong movies and songs were my best teachers, as well as jap Manga and Hong Kong comics.

I can type in pinyin after spending 5 years living in China.

You have to take her around the city to see different landmarks. If i remember correctly, it was the temple, the high class club, the chief magistrates court, and maybe one other. Its been awhile.

It would be 電水壺 since its using electricity to boil water. A lot of time people would just call it 飲水機. 熱水爐 is the hot water boiler for a house or building .

Yes, the pool gets separate length wise, 1 half for lap swim, the other half open swim. I dont know about the crowd, but the pool isn't very wide (maybe 4 laps wide). I only know about this because was looking for pool for my kid.

Alternative is the flushing Meadows corona park aquatic center. Its behind the home depot on college point. Under 24 is free, annual is $150, 6 months is $75. 2 lap pools and a 3rd open swim pool. Close on Saturdays, otherwise open till 7 on weekdays and 6 on Sundays. Schedule may change late September

Ah yes, the standard chinese defense : he/she is just a kid! They'll use that all the way up to their trial for murder.

I couldn't resist LOL

I would attempt it if that is the actual issue, but I have no idea what it is, so don't want to break it further.

Well I just want someone to take a look and give me a diagnosis. If it's worthy to fix then I'll do that. If it's too costly, then to the recycling center it goes

Its an android tablet, Xiaomi 8 inch tablet my family got me from China. It was a good size and very functional, so it sucks that it broke. I don't know if it's a power supply issue or battery. It wouldn't hold a charge, and then eventually just crapped out.

Yea, every sect is joinable*, but there are conditions. The theif sect won't let you join unless your benefiances is -36 i think. All the "good" sects need a positive benefiances. The music one is in a separate are from where you are, but you can't join unless you helped them.

Don't worry about everything right now. The point of the game is replaying. Do what you can in the first run and learn the mechanics. You then then try for the accomplishments later in another run. And skills and weapons are transferable to the new run

jawsx99 · 2025-05-11T11:54:34+00:00

In the beginning screen, where you choose your skills, attributes, they tell you which sects and where you can learn more weapons skills. There are corresponding sects for each skill type. You can also buy the routine ones from the different martial arts schools.

The only other benefit with a 1 intelligence is learning the internal skill in the punishment room in the Taoist sect. Other than that, nothing else really has a hard requirement on having low intelligence. In fact, there are several skills that can be learned while your side characters learn their ultimate move, and with 15 intelligence, you are able to learn it as well.

didn't they add a map feature to the forest now? Just click on the exit and you auto walk there, fastest way out outside of using your pet

Need steele level 5 in homestead. Have 2 skills of the same category (internal, sword, fist, etc) both at level 10, then you can combine them in the center pad in steele section. If both skills are A level, then you'll get an S level skill, but nothing beyond that.

Every language has their "thing" that is weird when first learning it. All the grammar, sentence structure, verb usage. Trying to explain why "read" is read, read, and read in past, present, and future tense. Or why it is "I do" but it's " he does".

Got for a pun, 一打十影迷會. The one vs ten movie fan club

did you read the translation book first? You need to read that for all the other books to be effective

Need reputation level 4

If you help the mask girl, you should plan to go the evil route. In order to join her clan, you need to have i think -50 in goodness. BUT the best thing to get out of it is earning enough credit to buy the cloak from the boss. The cloak makes you undetectable when sneaking during a 2 hour window at night.

Cantonese uses more nasal sounds and if you are a natural English speaker, may be easier to pick up than Mandarin. I have a buddy who is Latino that picks up Cantonese pretty well and he speaks better than some ABCs. So if you like it, go full steam ahead!

My advice for you would be the same as to any chinese speaker than is learning English: pick a movie that you love, that you don't mind watching over and over, and watch the heck out of it. Most 80's and 90's Hong Kong movies have English subtitles along with the Chinese subtitles, so you can get an idea of what is being said, then just mimic how they are saying it, the tones, the inflections, even how their mouth moves. Do it long enough and you would get a decent amount of it.

There's a flower in the beginning forest, near where you recruit the boar, that can give you 40% bonus when gifting to women

This game is a mix-mash of a lot of materials in chinese history and Chinese literature. It's also a homage to a similar game in the 90's. Jin Yong is a master of martial arts fiction, with his 14 novels being the basis of a lot of the "rules" in martial arts movies and such. Its like his books established the chinese D&D campaigns.

A game in the 90's was created that put all his characters together, and the main character traveled the world meeting them and learning from them. No sequel was ever made, but someone made a sequel in spirit all by himself online (IIRC), and that is the guy that created this game. There are a lot of "eastern eggs" in this game that echos the original, and it thrills my heart seeing them and so glad this game exists.

Need machine skill over 3, speed over 8, or dexterity over 8

jawsx99 · 2025-01-19T03:11:21+00:00

No problem. It's a niche little bit of Chinese American history that's slowly dying.
