Not sure if I'll keep up these translations? I'm just remembering that there are translate options on these platforms, so perhaps these might be redundant...

Totally not having an existential crisis at all.

PS: Here's the episode I was referring to: youtu.be/vtVa33colCk?...

I felt that it was too hard for me as it took way too much time to go over the unknown vocab, so I'll probably work around their beginner playlist first.

Currently waiting for my university to let me know when I can collect the transcript, and then I'll have to seriously consider what I want to do after this and whether to attempt applying to graduate schools or just get into a better job than what I'm doing now.

The upcoming week ahead I'll be focusing on Chinese Zero to Hero, TCB, and my daily Anki habit I'm trying to build towards to. I'm not sure if I'm able to do as much studying this week as I'm back to my remote work after taking a few days off for the New Years with a few friends.

I also learned about an Anki add-on: HyperTTS. At first it was hard to set up but after following some tutorials online and peeking around the website I managed to set up a new Azure API and got it working!

I worked with Language Reactor, Sheets, to get Anki cards created. It was pretty tiring tbh as the 30-minute video turned into a 4-hour session (split into two days). Still a rewarding watch, there were many new vocab and interesting stories of SA with a China cultural backdrop.

This weekend I decided not to work on HSK lessons and instead chose to relisten to podcast episode. I listened to it in a treadmill session and thought it was pretty good!

PS: 这是我说的视频：https://youtu.be/vtVa33colCk?si=P3YOT04VReQa6b-h

我觉得这视频有一点太难了，我一直挺着。我以后会看这她们的beginner playlist。

我不懂这星期可以复习多嘛，因为我开工了。这几天我没做工，出去跟我朋友玩儿玩儿过新年。我现在也还在等我大学发我的transcript, 然后我一定需要想想要做什么。

我以前是打算继续去读书，但是现在我有一点儿existential crisis。

不说了，我应该用着我周末休息不要想那么多了。

我也学到怎样用HyperTTS做Anki卡。开始的时候有一点不明白但是我看tutorial就懂了。星期一到星期五我打算继续跟这Chinese Zero to Hero的HSK课，几个TCB的课，还有我的日常ANKI卡。

If you're also learning a language or anything else (or if you just want to be mutuals) I would be happy to do so!

PS: If anyone's also looking for a language exchange partner, I am comfortable with conversing in English and Malay, and I would love to learn Mandarin from you!

Hello! My name is Rhui Jin and I'm from Malaysia :)

I'll be turning 23 this year, and I've recently completed my undergraduate in psychology. I've decided today that I want to try using socials as a playground to practice Mandarin and to also share my learning progress, etc.
