Life in San Jose - but getting ready for La Jolla, California!

 Tsup fam!


I've settled into San Jose, I'm staying in a nice airbnb in Escalante, which is lots of nice restaurants and bars. I did a city tour yesterday and a food tour today. Although some fun stuff in the downtown, it seems there is a fare bit of homelessness (I believe most aren't from Costa Rica), and therefore lots of people begging for money at all times.

Costa Rica definitely stands out from other countries in Latin America as less corruption, better healthcare, but much more expensive.

I did a food tour today, peoples minds were blown... i was a bit unimpressed as we largely just had a fruit, some fruits they have which were interesting were Cas (a bit tart), and Sour sop (Guayabana) and a fruit noted in the bottom left which is brown on the outside but orange on the inside (mon something?). I just have high food tour standards!

Below is me teaching a cooking class - making a type of empanada with plantain filled with cheese. Students learned a lot that day :)

Done my 8 weeks time to travel in Taiwan!

Image
Well, I've finished up 8 weeks of intensive Mandarin. My classes were 1 on 1 except 1 week of group classes. I studied a ton and went to a lot of language exchanges. I still need to keep the momentum, as I feel I could easily start forgetting but I also feel I am just about at B1 level which is HSK3. Chat GPT would explain that this would usually take 18 months in University. One caveat being my reading ability is a bit behind as I focussed a more on speaking (using pingyin). I also feel I struggle a bit with listening, but this doesn't concern me too much I am just working on getting more input (podcasts and speaking with locals). The textbooks we and most schools use in Mandarin is from Taiwan Normal University. There are 4 levels, each with 3 books - I am starting level 3! I am now setting off to travel in Taiwan, although people do speak English in many places, I do feel a lot more comfortable having some Chinese as backup.  I also finished my 10 pingpong classes and defini...

Week one of Mandarin done

Image
 Today is Friday April 26th, and I have finished my first week! It's been tough but my experience with learning Spanish and beginner Japanese has definitely been helpful. I actually find quite a few similarities between Mandarin and Japanese which makes the grammar a lot easier to accept. For example, the idea of something existing when wanting to ask someone if they carry or have it, i.e. instead of "do you guys have a washroom" they would say "does a washroom exist". I have been pretty sick the whole week other than today which did make things rough, waking up at strange hours, unable to sleep, coughing throughout class. However, I also had nothing to do but study which is good. My studying consists of: 1. vocab building, I have a great app (Pleco) which allows me to do flashcards in all sorts of fashion.  2. Pronunciation,  listen and repeat exercises, watching youtube videos on how to pronounce. 3. Listening, an app that says a word and you have to guess its...

Kyoto, back to Tokyo and Japanese language school (and some missed pics).

So far my Japan trip has been going amazingly. With so much planning, I feel there was mainly only a few hiccups. I have felt as though I have explored so much, but still left so much to see or do. The trip definitely prioritized food and doing stuff. I am now at Coto Japanese school studying Japanese, I am beginner 1 level 3. I feel like we are able to have basic conversation but enough to make the class a fun and conversational. Teachers seem a bit limited with English but it also forces us to use more Japanese to ask questions. The school is beautiful with as much roasted tea as a I want, but the class size was up to 8 one day, but it seems people miss often, today we had 3 people... I am family with most of the grammar, but I am way behind on the Kanji. I have avoided learning this as I was worried it would slow down my speaking, but now the time has come. It is extremely logical and kinda fun, but I suspect it takes a bit before it's really helping. However, as I am going to T...
