This is exactly what I needed. Thanks.

So gonna try this in Pinyin though🙈

New subscriber enjoyed your video

What was your motivation to learn and improve mandarin?

As a Cantonese also born in America, its inspiring to see someone else with a similar background learn Mandarin so fluently. Thanks for sharing your experience and all the takeaways. (Might start also journaling and watching anime in Chinese now..)

21:38 Did you mean 10k?

This is a very usefull routine tho. Thank's a lot

I need the active recall or output. Plz do something to help me practice TPRS with myself with examples of basic sentences. I don't like flash cards. I have readLang now it's better. Also immersive Chinese app is best but I need TPRS output, do check that app.

Thank you Jacky. This was incredibly informative and very descriptive. Helpful as I'm looking for a new apartment haha! Appreciated your commentary

In a competitive market, yeah it's a total waste of time to look early. In an average market though, it's not a bad idea. I saw several good ones advertised in July as available in Sept. And several advertised as immediate move-in are still available. You can definitely negotiate move-in date in non-peak season.

what part of China yo family from?

I think the downsides you mentioned are eliminated at startups - Series A is the best

Chinese tv and music are my main reasons for learning Mandarin so I'm trying to immerse them in my studies. I like watching chinese celebrity interviews. Obviously subtitles are used for now, but they're so beneficial in picking out words and getting used to how Mandarin is spoken daily. Using apps like Duolingo are great for hearing tones and sounds chopped up but they're not the best tools for listening comprehension.

ah are you a swarthmore grad? i notice the liberal art folks have the luxury to reflect and broaden their perspective of life.

Hello i think this video was really important for me and I have few questions. To give you a little backstory i am actually studying economics too i was always confused between cs and econ but later on picked up econ. My major is econ but I am self studying all the cs work on my own mostly because i realized as much as i like economics i dont like the work sectors that open up like consulting or banking, I wanted more of a techy role so i aimed for data science and product management. My question is how do you think i should approach it if i still have 3 years left for college and what is the best pathway to take and the roles that may align for someone who like econ and cs both?

This video made me just think to myself, what is so enticing about living in NYC? I feel like you pay so much for so little...

Thanks for sharing your experience. Could you do a video on product management based on the research you've done and whether it's really a strategic role as people claim to be? I've heard a lot of product managers tend to work in "feature factories" not adding much value

Great video!

tech's politics are unbearable. Imagine all the anti social geeks and nerds that no one liked in school grouped together and feeling empowered because now they have a high salary and in demand hard skills. They genuinely believe that they're smarter than everyone else because their industry is quantitative. That's one of the main things that I miss about working in finance.. The structure, hierarchy, and less of an autistic paradise where everyone is overly sensitive and no one has social skills. It's all IQ there, with no EQ and no social skills. Your bonus tips are a big part of the problem. Everyone needs to work and Everyone NEEDS a job to put food on the table.The fact that you expect more from them than being able to do the job (which includes being a good teammate) is part of what contributes to this immature environment. We're not here to make friends and hold hands, we're here to put food on the table. If we can be friends then GREAT, but if we can't then that's fine as long as you can do YOUR JOB! Gatekeeping a job to employ people that can be your friend is an extremely immature and childish way to handle authority. Welcome to tech

Hey Jacky! Great to see you posting more your transition from consulting to tech and your reasons behind it! If you do have time could you make a video regarding a day in your life in tech?

does it help you in real life speaking manderin?

Informative video! Thank you for sharing your experience, it was interesting to hear your perspective on both the consulting and technology industry. I have one question. How would you have approached getting a job in strategy and operations as an entry-level job? Or is your experience that everyone in these roles comes in from consulting? Thank you!

Hi Jacky!! Not sure how to feel about you reading my mind because this is exactly the transition I am currently trying to make and that thumbnail matches my exact state of being… Would love to connect live and pick your brain a little more on this. Do you have an email I could reach out and introduce myself through?

If you're not using Pleco you're doing it wrong! It's a fantastic dictionary app that also has flashcards built in, so when you look up a word and want to remember it, you can add it to your deck at the same time.

Sorry but this is stupid and crazy move financially trying to "make it" in Hollywood. Here is some quick reality check. Most struggling actors will not make enough to have a decent retirement because they work low paying jobs for years or decades while begging, auditioning, and praying to land that break-through role. Over 95% will spending years or decades trying to "make it" in Hollywood only to realized that it was a waste of time and they did not accumulate enough savings in their retirement years. They will be broke,can barely pay rent, miserable, and the will be blaming everyone else for there stupid decisions in life. They will complain that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and expect the government to give them a handout. Most will vote for liberal democrats as that is the party for people who are looking for hand-outs. For them, buying a home will be a fantasy. Right now interest rates for homes are at all time high and buying a house is harder than ever for most Americans. If they want to get into a house, it will be much more difficult to get in due to increasing house prices and higher interest rates throughout the nation. I bought old 3bed and 2bath single family house in San Jose California for 800K in 2019. Now it is worth $1.4M and interest rates are at 7%! Unless you guys are already very wealthy, it is all fun and games until reality hits.

crazy that this got reccomended to me, as I am currently studying at nthu for chinese right now! Only for three months though, so I am really trying to improve while I am here. Nice video!

YO YOU'RE WATCHING ALICE IN BORDERLAND......I AM A BIG FAN OF THIS SHOW....HAVE YOU WATCHED BOTH OF THE SEASON ?

WHAT CHANGING THE PHONE SETTINGS SOUNDS INTIMIDATING....😭😭😭

Thank you sir !! Pasting the Sticky note trick is really good idea...Let me Go it rn ! I'll update on my progress

Hey Jacky! I know this is unrelated, but just wanted to know if you are still pursuing acting and if so, how you find time to balance acting with work and life. Thanks!

I am a chinese, but you know the best way to learn language is talking to native speaker, because chinese is so many kinds of sentence structure.... if anyone want to speak with me, i cant be much more happier. But you have to help me in my speaking english also :)

This is super practical as a beginner! Thanks <3

It's interesting how I've done all these things without thinking about it! One crucial aspect that's missing from this video is chatting with native speakers. Texting friends is easy to do while waiting for public transportation and it's a good way to learn about the culture. Every time I study a language, I contact native speakers after 1 week on Hellotalk. Whenever I can say something in the target language, I do. If I can't say or understand something, I use English or Google Translate. This is especially helpful when learning languages with fewer resources (Uzbek in my case). I recently changed my computer language to traditional Chinese and I must say editing a video on iMovie was a chore 😅 I'm considering changing it back to English

I agree with you that consistency is key when going about learning a new language. With that being said, the one way I’ve been keeping consistent with my language learning journey is by making the process fun for me. By combining my entertainment time with my language learning time, I’ve been able to do this. I personally use Immersive Translate to watch my shows and movies on Netflix, and this has been a great way for me to improve my language skills. I’ve already learned a lot so far, and am very happy with the plugin.

great video Jacky! good information, and well-organized

The legend is back 🔥Gonna try to implement these default behavior ideas in my day to day, am looking to brush up my chinese

Wow you introduced me to the idea of default behaviours and the if-then statements, def will be looking more into it since it's going to be very helpful!

Love this Jacky!!

You’re back 😁 i’m still a beginner so ill try labeling my environment 😗

This video made me emotional, I plan on going to nyc this fall to pursue acting as a newbie. Also coming from a mid sized city in the US and transitioning to a city like nyc will break my comfort zone and I’m all for it!

I wonder if they know the difference between the Taiwanese language and Chinese language...

Damn paying 4k and living with a roommate I rather stay sad.

Hey Jacky! How r ya? Was looking for ny apartments and suddenly im watching your video! Love it! Do you got any specific site to look for apartments? 😊❤ Thankyou

My fave was the apartment #8 (at 9:10) with the Dr. Strange Sanctum Sanctorum window! XD

I love all your suggestions, I am interested in taking Mandarin as a life long learning program. Help !!! I seriously need the support community you spoke about to facilitate my output of Mandarin.

Damn $4000 dollar apt way beyond my budget.

Stuytown gave me mental institution vibes when I visited lol. The outdoor gym there seems cool though

Hard to watch my city so gentrified. I mean….Stuy town??? 🤢

i loved listening to your insightful story!

Sometimes their vision of what should be a better life for their kids may not be what they want always after they grow up and think for themselves for the first time…
