Live in 1 hour: Intermediate & Advanced Chinese Textbooks youtu.be/vMUqwb1kMdY I’m going to talk about what to look for, how to choose core and supplementary textbooks, how to get the most out of your books, and I’m going to give a bunch of recommendations. See you then!

One of the most perfect pieces of music ever composed, and perhaps the best to ever perform it. Thank you, 馬先生.

This music has been with me for 60 years. It's seen me through times of stress, loss, joy, and transition. It's connected me to others all over the world and helped me to understand life in new ways. Bach: Prelude to Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major #songsofcomfort

@too_slow64 @Benaskren @lthomasnews @BCampbellCBS Because if you know you’re up 3 going into the 4th, you only have to *survive* the last 2 and you win (barring a 10/8 against you). No need to finish. Makes for a boring fight. That means people stop watching. UFC is a business. Entertainment (which equals $$) is paramount.

@donnyjkimball Green screen. Notice there’s zero wind in her hair. Got her some publicity though. Good marketing.

1/ Let’s talk about why you have an accent and why listening is hard (any language). It’s because you don’t know what the language really sounds like, so you can't produce the sounds properly. You haven't trained your ears or your tongue properly. I'll tell you how. THREAD.
