For example, I’ve been reading in depth about reverse engineering lately and improving my web h4ck1ng skills by playing CTFs. And every night before bed, I read philosophy to stay sane. I’m currently reading “Negative Dialectics” by Theodor W. Adorno.

What about you? ancom-heart

    你好! I’m doing the same. Are ya’ll using a textbook? We’re using Integrated Chinese.

    I feel like I’m way behind though and barely keeping up with speech. Character memorization, recognition, and writing is way easier. I think its helping improve my handwriting because mine kinda sucks in English.

    I’m sticking it through since I am learning for sure but I don’t think I’ve ever spent so much time studying in a uni class before. It was like 5 hours a day last week.

      Yeah, same textbook! I had gotten pretty far on HelloChinese app and independent study (mostly just listening to music and reading all the business signs in my neighborhood) so there’s a lot of words and grammar and all that that I know, but my speaking is very not great and I the writing practice means I’m finally learning the radicals.
