/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hey, I'm Brazilian and I'd write it like the 4th example (not the 2nd), since "by comparison" is in between the connection of "so" and "there isn't". That's how it would structurally work in Portuguese.

Gotta re-read some comma rules for Eigo.

By the way, I scored 94% on TOEFL which was said to be above native level.
But I'm rather stiff with spoken language, I should probably play some online games with underage angry kids to get a bit of confidence.

How much of a hurdle is that, OP? My accent is somewhat strong, but I understand Japanese phonetics and understand how their Engrish pronunciation works, being easy to spot and correct these habits in students.

Is it a bonus that I also speak French, Spanish and Portuguese? I don't know, maybe some bossa nova otaku is into some bundaspeak.

Should these university degrees relate to teaching or linguistics? I'm just a random-ass Art bachelor.

Not the quoted anon, but I'll describe the way I do:

Let's suppose Album A, B and C are in my backlog.

- Create playlist "Best Ones"

>Day 1
- Listen to Album A, no compromise;

>Day 2
- Listen to Album A again, carefully;
- Decide which songs from Album A are the best ones - not too picky yet, just getting the boring ones out;
- Add those to playlist;
- Listen to Album B, no compromise;

>Day 3:
- Listen to Album A's songs added to "Best Ones" and rate 5 stars to the ones I'm definitely keeping - tag and keep that shit in a separate folder;
- - If I'm struggling with any song on whether I keep it or not, 3 stars to be checked the next day;
- Listen to Album B carefully, pick best ones;
- Listen to Album C, no compromise;

>Day ???
After listening to everything from a Batch (i.e. C85), I'll delete everything I haven't copied to my "Kept Ones" folder.

This way I can hear at least one fresh album every day and test if the songs I heard yesterday are really sticky/worthy. But being sticky is not enough, so the third day is to separate what I CAN remember from what I WANT TO remember.
