@mollymcghee When immigrant parents urge kids to be a doctor/lawyer/computer science/MBA they are trying to help you get some wealth. Unfortunately, working prestige jobs in teaching/writing w/o unions doesn’t translate. Uni friends all poor when we started went into banking and are $$$ now.
@Blochead4real Bloc - has your experience been one of grime and filth? I would suggest any middle of the road restaurant… most seem clean enough- but not sure what your standards/ criteria are. You can just go to “A” grade restaurants maybe?
@scrimlerjorgens Hey. It’s been a minute Scrim! Congratulations might be in order for your involvement in Mr Misty’s Q4 video we saw today! But sadly, noticed you were left off the credits 😬
@LadyAmanita@DrJenGunter I will never forget them talking about “locking and loading” breasts in jackets. I enjoyed it somewhat- but it was boring with everyone in a fitted jacket, blouse, and trousers with a high heeled show. There was no deviation.
@Ryo_Davis@KungLab As a Mandarin speaker - I’d say don’t sweat it. Doing the j and sh thing is fine. Focus on tones, vocab and sentence construction- The pronunciation will come. Not everyone has a perfect “accent “ most Chinese people don’t either.
@Dr_Guy_Shani@KungLab@tashakaminsky That’s such a great idea! I have friends who had to change their names to a common English one because teachers didn’t get it right for years.I myself have never had people pronounce my name correctly- but it’s the English version anyhow which sounds nothing like toe original 🤷🏻♀️
