I am torn between bringing my flute or Tanpura. Tanpura will allow me to use vocals but flute will allow me to better express the raga. Iโm torn haha.
I have been offered the opportunity to teach a whole class this Thursday in my listening to music class. I will be teaching the basics of Carnatic music - structure, rhythm, etc. I have one hour to open western ears to the beauty of this classical tradition. Wish me luck ๐๐ป
Each time I learn more, and consolidate what I learned previously - but this time feels a bit different and Iโm more committed since I have an actual tutor this time to keep me on track. Wish me luck <3
Resources I am using to learn Hindi:
- Snellโs textbook
- Rocket Hindi
- DuoLingo
- Tuttle textbooks
- Comprehensible Hindi (great YouTube channel)
- Talking to family
- Anki
- Private lessons
Roughly 2 hours per day for a month now and I have cleared the A1 equivalent. Onto A2!
If I can maintain my current rate my family estimates I should be at B2 (my goal for now) around 18 months. That seems fast for me, but we will see. Iโm okay moving slow as long as everything sticks this time. Iโm tired of restarting this process every few years hahaha.
If anyone wants to study languages with me here is my Duolingo <3 Iโve been grinding Hindi recently as Iโm doing full immersion and would love to encourage my friends who are also perhaps studying a language <3
Iโm just going to pop in stream one day this week lol. Iโm just going to be me, and hang out. Maybe it will be programming. Maybe it will be music. Maybe it will just be chatting but I need to get back to it. I miss it. Iโm buying a house soon, and I am very hopeful for stability
Never fret or get anxious at a programming problem. They are all solvable. Calm down. Have a cup of coffee. Smoke a joint. Youโll figure it out. You probably donโt understand something. Do some research. This indicates knowledge gap. (My advice to a jr at work who was flustered)
@purusa0x6c Chinese & India market EFTs if I"m being absolutely honest. I wouldn't invest in tech directly, but full economies. This is what I did and how I was able to more or less 'retire'/work as I please before 33 <3
I will be moving to Belgium for 5 months, but I am taking my old mic with me so still streaming as planned :) I think we will start with learning 6502 ASM <3 and try to make a game until I build a PC at my partners house in Beligum. I'll be home in Greece again in a few months <3
@purusa0x6c hahah yes yes. I ordered this model a looong time ago and after two years of it not coming I got disheartned - this was supposed to be my 'professional' model and I ordered it when the channel was growing. I'm moving to Belgium for a bit so I will restart up there asap <3
As many know I was waiting on a commission from @EteriCommishes a new model. I thought I was scammed. In fact, she just had bad communication for a long time. The model has been delivered and I will resume streaming. Not having this model after paying disheartened me so I stopped
