I haven't played the recent games, but isn't it impossible for a Pokémon to switch in cursed or confused?

Yeah, messed up the formatting. I've edited the original comment. Thanks.

If anyone is interested, here is a documentary about the centralisation of Korea which is related to this article.

2/10. Are there any giveaways that a face is AI generated?

As a mixed third generation immigrant, I get this a lot. In my experience, most people want to know my ethnicity, but for some reason they never ask me that directly.

No way. Imagine being stuck in complete darkness unable to move your body for that amount of time. I'd lose my mind and probably have a panic attack thinking to myself what if they don't dig me up?. The money isn't worth the mental trauma that would cause me.

Thanks for sharing, did you stick with the same tutor throughout the 2 years?

Italki experiences? (lemmy.world)

Has anyone used Italki or a similar platform to aid in their studies?

I'm considering taking weekly lessons with a tutor, the main goal in specifically improving my speaking.

I've lived in Japan for a few years and work in a Japanese company and while my comprehension is okay, my output is terrible and I always hesitate to speak.

I'm hoping a tutor would give me some real-time feedback on my speaking and help build my confidence.

I don't need a professional teacher / structured lessons and I guess my budget would be around ¥2000 for the hour (is it reasonable?)

Please let me know your experiences.

I was a broke adolescent back in 2011, but now I am a working adult with some disposable income. So the image is accurate.

I unexpectedly had the opportunity to move to Japan straight after university, and so took it. Before that, Japan and learning Japanese wasn't even on my radar (I minored in German, hoping to work there actually).

I've been here for 5 years now and within the past year, I've been itching to try living somewhere else/learn new languages, but it's not so easy when I've invested so much time into Japan/Japanese.

League of Legends. I've sank so many hours into it a few years back. It's not a bad game, just highly addictive and toxic. It was only really worth playing it with friends, but now they've all moved on.

I haven't bought the game yet because I'm afraid of getting hooked on it..

Took the N2. Considering they increased the price of the test, I was expecting a better experience, but it was still pretty chaotic and it seemed to be the proctors first time.

As for the test content, I thought the vocab and grammar was fair, but the listening was more difficult than I anticipated.

I probably failed though simply because I don't read enough in Japanese, and had to rush through that section. Hoping to change that though.

That being said, I'm not sure if I'll ever bother with the test again.
