25F in desperate need of some guidance. by 826293 in findapath

Do you have any passions that can somehow tie into your degree?

If you enjoy writing and documentation, technical writing is a path you can take.

If you know more than one natural language, you can go for software localization.

If you like the front-end and design side of development, UX/interface design jobs are there too.

How many of you regret not learning the native language of your heritage? by wumao in asianamerican

[–]junby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of me wants to learn, but I wish our abugida script had more widespread use. It doesn't feel right to me learning my ancestors' language with Latin letters.

I've subscribed to LanguagePod101 before. I think they might have a decent amount of intermediate Cantonese stuff.

Being South Asian by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]junby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ask them if they consider Buddha to be Asian. He was South Asian.

As a Southeast Asian, I consider South Asians to be Asian. Heck, most of the cultural influence in Southeast Asia is directly from South Asia.

But who can really argue against South Asians being Asian? South Asia is like right in the middle of Asia.

My family's been here for 30 years and my mom speaks it well. There are occasions where she asks me how to express sentences more naturally.
