I You

got me thinking about forever, gotta crush, crush, crush on you I just wanna be your only crush,

crush, crush on you I'm at the time, just keep it in, run it all to your mind Let me tell you now I gotta crush,

crush, crush on you But now I'm stuck in outside Girl,

you got me lost in your eyes Hey everyone, welcome to another vlog.

Today I don't have too much planned.

I'm heading to the office now and then at the office I have a bunch of work to do.

Also need to set up some meetings and also go over some contract papers

and also go through a lot of forms so it's gonna be an intensive day.

Basically, if you guys don't know, I'm building a startup in Seoul, so there are a lot of moving pieces,

and my sleeve has been very messed up at the plate.

Anyways, let's go get some coffee first,

and then I'll see you all at the office. so I

got a black vagina.

I'm getting my daily boat up to the third hour.

I'm not sure how to do this.

Why are you so weird?

I'm not sure how to do this.

This is not the same.

How do you do this?

Anyways Oh my gosh No way Are you serious?

This chair Just broke Oh my gosh Look at

that This is honestly the worst chair I've ever Like had

to deal with in my entire life It's not just

that this just broke these screws literally keep on falling out of the chair

And I have to screw them back in like every single day like it's so annoying

But now I'm gonna have to freaking email

Whoever owns this apartment and it's not even my fault like these chairs are terrible Anyways, I feel like I haven't talked to you guys the entire video

And I probably should give you guys an update on what's going on So basically, if you guys watched my last vlog,

I have been living in Korea now for a while.

If you add up my entire time, it's almost eight months.

Basically, it started off as an internship.

It got so much fun to the point where it became a bit more than that.

I decided to start a new startup as a co -founder.

And the startup has been doing pretty well out of the

way basically it's an education related website i've been basically building it from the ground up with one other guy

and yeah it's honestly been a heck of an adventure

but with that i've been sleeping very late nights like i mean i'm sleeping at like 7 a .m

and it's really bad i think this new lifestyle can partially

explain why i haven't been the most consistent with youtube to keep track of everything, I've been using a lot of these types of notebooks.

They're very good at keeping my thoughts since they have many things going on in my brain, so I kind of need these notebooks.

We want to like hire tutors and make sure that they're high enough caliber.

If so, we want to basically be the middleman for finding the students, connecting them with appropriate teachers.

We are just starting it, literally, and we've honestly been getting a bit of interest.

I kind of have to do a bit of everything.

I actually didn't even know I would have to hop on this call If the guy doesn't show up to the call, I would be very unfortunate I have to hop on this call in literally 15 minutes

and I think I'm gonna be wearing this for the call I think this is fine

Should I change the shirt that I have under?

Instead of wearing this, I should just change my shirt My food finally arrived They sent me two koppokis instead of one.

I'll just have to update you after this meeting and let you know how it goes. so And

now to guest dinner with a guy.

There's always a new protest every single day here.

Checking out an art museum right now.

An optical illusion.

See on the video it looks like I'm standing upside down, but I'm not.

the photo we're supposed to take

wait this one it actually like looks like it's moving even through the phone that's actually crazy how

that works oh it's saying this is the same color as that a and b have the same color

that's that that is cap that's an unfortunate looking face Okay,

I'm gonna recreate this Should I recreate this? That is not happening

Oh, okay.

Or that one.

Frick, I wanted that one.

That's unfortunate.

I've been looking for this.

Do you want one?

that's so annoying

The mango is so crumb so...

Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh

no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no

Hey everyone just finished hanging out with my friend

and now I'm gonna head to the evening floor to go get some coffee

because I had a meeting I have a major lesson at 1am

and that's an hour and I'm like falling asleep right now So let's go.

Hey guys, if you didn't already know, in the last 8 months, I've been able to get from absolute beginner in Mandarin to conversationally fluent in Mandarin.

And the biggest thing that actually helped me improve this fast is actually pretty simple.

I've just started speaking in Mandarin more.

That's why I've been using Speak recently.

Instead of just memorizing vocabulary and hoping that somehow I'd remember it later, speak actually gets me to talk out loud while learning these new words,

which helps me practice using these words in real conversation and pulling these words out of my brain.

Especially since my Mandarin has gotten a lot better recently, I've been having to learn how to talk about much more complicated topics

that I just don't get to talk about on a day -to -day basis.

For example, I'm building a startup right now and love talking about it with my Chinese friends, but there's so many technical words that I just don't know yet.

So, I've been using Speak to teach me these new words, and have actually practiced saying these words mid -conversation into the app to make sure that I actually remember these words.

For example, I've recently been using Speak to practice pitching my startup in Mandarin almost as if Speak was my actual customer.

Speak can literally build an entire learning path around this topic that you want to talk about,

but to be honest, my favorite part of Speak has actually been its free talk feature With the free talk feature,

I can literally pick a topic I actually want to talk about and start practicing it all out loud.

And that's pretty much one of the main strategies I've used

to get from beginner to advanced in Mandarin in such a short amount of time.

100

It's simple, just learn a new word, use it in conversation, and while it might be hard the first time, it eventually becomes a word that you just start using naturally in future conversation.

101

So if you're learning Mandarin or any other language and you want to get comfortable actually speaking it in real life, you can actually start a free week with Speak using the link down below.

102

Thanks Speak as well for sponsoring this part of the video.

103

Now let's get back to the vlog.

104

Hey everyone!

105

Today was such a fun day, such an interesting day as well.

106

I basically spent the first half of the day at a cafe doing a lot of work.

107

I basically met up with one of my friends and we went to get Samgitang,

108

then decided to go to art museum and also go get some Gingsu after.

109

I just finished a Mandarin lesson.

110

Yeah, I honestly haven't had much of a chance to speak Mandarin as of late.

111

That's why I've been traveling quite often to China just to practice more Mandarin.

112

But one good way I'm kind of maintaining my Mandarin level

113

and also improving at the same time has been by taking these Mandarin lessons once a week.

114

So today I learned a couple new words like jiangying which is stiff.

115

We were also talking about like the cultural differences I've come across learning Korean versus Mandarin.

116

And yeah I learned other words as well.

117

Ah, another cool phrase I still remember that I learned a couple weeks ago.

118

经的期时间考验, which means stand the test of time.

119

I'm gonna try to sleep earlier tonight.

120

I'm just gonna do a bit more work.

121

I've been sleeping at like 7am recently, so tonight my goal is to sleep at 3am.

122

And then, yeah, I'll see you all tomorrow.

123

I just finished church and now I'm going to be beating all the friends.

124

Indonesian for lunch.

125

It's really good.

126

I'm sorry.

127

Why are you guys doing this to me?

128
