Thank you! Yes first baby… so much to learn

I just finished my 3D art master today! Coudln0t be happier.

Now I have to start my 6 months final project. Meanwhile I'm going to build a kick-ass portfolio and I'm going to start looking for some companies

I should also improve my english as I almost understand everything but I need more fluency both verbally and written.

Yup! Mapcore is a great community ?

Just moved to Redmond WA, and it's my first time here on the West coast!

I'm starting at 343 Industries on Tuesday, meanwhile I have time to explore the area, get used to everything etc.

Aaand looks like I'm back at the "living with extreme minimalism while waiting for the movers to deliver my stuff" chapter of life. Hopefully it's gonna take less than 2 months this time...

Cheers!

When in doubt:

I'm starting my first training in the Videogames industry next monday and I couldn't be more excited!

It's a small company here in Barcelona called The Game Forger and they create VR and Board games. Basically I'm gonna be helping with the environments and props.

Wish me luck!

I'm learning japanese. I expect to reach intermediate level by the end of my undergraduate course. I'm not interesting in studying in JApan, but... just in case I ever need it.

There is one thing that drives me to russian. There are numerous russian names related to mathematics. At some point in the future I'd learn it to better understand how the soviet union developed its math schools.

As for japanese. I think that martial arts, anime and manga are just about everywhere.

The funny thing about japanese is that many words are copied from english. But the letters A, E, I O, U have sounds much similar to portuguese.

One of the things that make both english and portuguese hard for people who are native japanese speakers is that both english and portuguese have words with "TR", "TP", "S", "DR", etc. But japanse is all "TO", "TA", "DA", "DO", "KU", "WO", "WA", ... making it hard for japanese to pronounce english or portuguese.

Just found out that the whole course of basic level of Japanese is available for free https://www.marugoto.org/en/

First test took just 30 minutes and was half "can you read these words?" and half "What would you like to eat?" in japanese.

In portuguese / spanish you say object + color, but in english / jap the order is color + object.

Cool, I've been learning a little bit over the years but in the last 3 months I decided to go to a group class and have a weekly private teacher.

Not sure if you are interested in learning to read but wanikani.com is what I use for learning kanji. The first few levels are free then it costs. I kind of went a weird direction with my learning I only practiced reading kanji mostly so now I have a relatively advanced vocabulary and terrible grammar. After my first learning assesment the teacher wasn't quite sure how good I was at Japanese

I have been LD job hunting for the better part of a year now and it can be a bit taxing with all the work assignments and rejections stacking up so I decided to take a break and go ahead and study full-time at a university.

Not to completely derail this topic into Japanese 101 but that's funnily enough what I'm gonna study.

So thanks for the tips!

Welcome to the club

Baby just got two months old yday.

She's been great (She lets us sleep), but I can hardly do anything for myself in terms of self improvement/hobby.
