As title states, how do you read faster? I have my pronunciations down, but I read very, very slow. How did you overcome this? This is interfering with my ability to learn words a little bit. I was thinking just non stop reading korean words to memorize blocks and improve my speed.
This post is pretty much what's stated in the title. I now have a Korean tutor, so at least I am able to talk to a native speaker for three hours a week. However, I feel like that still isn't a good amount of time to stay consistent with pronunciation, ect. How have you guys immersed yourself with the language, outside of Korean TV/Movies?
I personally think playing video games or something would be beneficial, but it's hard because i'm in the US, and I'm region locked on some of the games I play. This is one of the few ways I can think of interacting with native speakers. Where I live, there aren't a bunch of Korean speakers.
I will be starting French this month in school. For now I am starting out with basic apps. What I was wondering, is if anybody plays games like Valorant, League of Legends, or CSGO? I feel like playing games with somebody and learning simple game phrases, or words helps a lot. I played minecraft in target language to learn simple things when I was doing Spanish.
Let me know. I am 19M, and I'm in CST timezone. I'm free to play games anytime after 4pm CST.
I will make this as short as I can. Right after high-school, I started working for somebody at an appliance store. I got this job because my mom's boyfriend knew the guy, and he offered me the job. Fast forward a couple months, my mom's boyfriend, (now fiancé) bought the place. After working here for a year, it has gotten very, very depressing. I'm picking up slack for my boss, since he isn't very competent, the technicians working here keep messing up, so I'm sitting on the phone apologizing almost every day, and I get left alone at work by myself, so it's hard to take a lunch break. Also, PTO I have to make sure it follows his schedule. Can't take off when he's on vacation, wants to do something, has "paperwork" to do.
Here's the dilemma:
I've been applying to jobs without mentioning it and I'm going to be moving to a different city. One of the jobs offered to send me to school in less than two weeks, so I'd be putting a very short notice in, and pissing off people I know.
I'm just curious how you would feel as a mother, and her fiancé, if you had this happen to you?
I'm fed up with the constant guilt tripping from this place. I dropped out of college to continue working for them, because they can't find anybody.
I know realize that their financial decisions have no burden on me. If they can't find anybody, that isn't my problem.
For context, I'm 19M. I started this family job last August, roughly 2 months after I graduated. I was originally working for somebody else, then my mom's fiance acquired the place in November. The business is a commercial appliance delivery/repair business. There is next to no employees, so even if I'm not doing a shit ton of work, I am still heavily relied on. I already do more than I am paid to do half the time, because her fiancé will just leave work and I'll be the only one here to manage anything. Or, even if he is here, he just pushes everything onto me.
This isn't a job I want to do. I don't like the location, what I'm doing with my life, ect. This has taken a massive, massive toll on my mental health.
My mom continues to try to guilt trip me out of quitting, worrying about their possible finances, and trying to find my employees. Which I now fully understand is far from my issue, as all possibilities should have been addressed before buying a business. My mom has also guilted me out of going to university, because she doesn't want me to leave the business, and keeps saying stuff like, "money is in the trades," "you can own this business and make money in a couple years." Aside from stuff like that, she has really dragged me down mentally. I am a very adventurous person, and have said I like traveling and taking time away from work, and that I want to do something different with my life, aside from the 9-5 till I retire at a nice age of 70+ then have no motivation to do anything.
\-Context-
(I have to make sure my days I request off \[that are limited\] match up with what works with their schedule. Make sure they aren't going on vacation, hunting/fishing, or doing finances at the "shop" because they don't want to help customers, or grab the phone. I tried leaving for a week to Taiwan and couldn't)
And she keeps trying to tell me that I'll just have to accept being a normal person, and that not all of our dreams come true. Get the same old "My job sucks too, you just deal with it as an adult." Which makes it seem like she's still trying to guilt me to prevent me from leaving.
I'm trying to move out now, and across the state. Boy, has this been an earful from her. Some reasons, is I want to move to Madison Wi which is predominantly liberal. My mom has an issue with this, (idk why people care so much.) And she is still stressing about me leaving, and keeps sending me apartments in the city that I live in currently.
I just need advice to get out of this situation.
If you read all of this, I really appreciate it. This has been affecting me for a year now.

Let me start off by saying I am a VERY clean person. I take good care of myself. My car is spotless, with absolutely nothing outside of my cup holders. (misc stuff like wallet, keys, and a rag. My room is very clean as well. One thing I really, really, REALLY get annoyed by, is people telling me to clean something.
For example, if i'm going around cleaning something at work. (I work with 4 other people and it's family run) I'll be doing my routine cleaning of the place and I hate when people point stuff out to get cleaned or organized when I haven't even made it to that point yet. They'll just bring me to some random spot and tell me not to forget about it. And it's the most obvious thing that would need to be cleaned, and there is no way somebody like me, who is very detail oriented, would miss it.
God, the amount of times I get called over to move something that just doesn't make sense to move, or clean something so obvious I wouldn't miss it, just annoys tf out of me.
Don't even get me started on when people bring food in my car, leave wrappers lying around, and the worse... spilling sauce or soda/juice in my car.
Wish it was just me in my own clean bubble. I hated being in a BNB with friends because they are so unclean and I was scared I was going to get hit with a cleaning fee.
Why do you prefer either mapping, or modeling? What drew you to either, and what have you gotten out of it?
I am completely new to developing, and am trying to get a foot in the door with the release of a new Game Engine. I'm most appealed to creating UI. Should I continue just watching basic C# tutorials, or should I be using the tools within S&Box?
Sorry to the experienced developers who think this is stupid.
This is a very different type of subject for me to talk about, that I have never discussed before. Also, what Im going to say will probably be all over the place.
I am 19 years old, and only had one relationship (7th grade for one week, lol.) I have never been interested in having one ever again since. I do not like the thought of having a relationship by any means. Furthermore, I am not interested in sexual relations either. When I have had sexual encounters, they felt very boring, and I couldn't stay interested. Since then, it has stopped. (1 year) Even kissing people, I have always been distracted by other things and could never really focus on the moment.
I do find the way people dress, or present themselves attractive, but I have no desire to explore anything more. If girls who I don't know try to talk to me in a flirty way, I accidentally shut down the conversation a lot.
Admittedly, I do sometimes surround myself with women who kind of give me more social status because of their looks if that makes sense? But I'm not interested in doing anything with them.
I'm kind of just looking for outside opinions, because I really don't know how to describe my interests.
Is anybody able to provide pros, and or cons, about being in District 9?
