Some thoughts and feelings about a journey of projecting my imagination onto someone else, trying to find unconditional love and ultimately finding myself.

Hello guys, I'm finally back! You can realize that my English style is kinda different from the ones from the first three episodes, due to my recent Japanese learning. It's a bit awkward at first to speak in such a not-so-smooth way, but it in fact gives me more time to think about what I can say. Perhaps speaking slowlier is better for expressing myself?

I unpacked my new MacBook Pro yesterday and started using it. In just half a day, I've already experienced multiple "heart flow peak" moments. To set up my new laptop, I installed the following: * VPN * Bartender * Magnet * Get Plain Text * Xnip With my new laptop, I won't be interrupted by work or social messages every minute. I can finally focus on what I really want to do. To be honest, I should have bought this new laptop as soon as my old one broke down.

Reasons why I use Podcast to learn Japanese: * 1. My Japanese level is too low to find a native speaker to practice with * 2. ChatGPT's Japanese pronunciation is too weird. * 3. AI's Japanese conversation is too difficult for me to understand in a conversation. Shortly after Episode 1 of "In Progress", I started my Japanese Podcast also on Xiaoyuzhou, called "私の余白。".

Hello everyone, I'm Jo. Welcome to my NEW (freestyle) Podcast program "In Progress". In this first episode, I talked about my previous "trys" of practicing English speaking, including: * Talk with human beings (not efficient enough) * Replika (require subscription) * Talk AI (not as multi-functional as ChatGPT) * ChatGPT (my predominant choice) * Podcast (what I'm doing now) It takes guts to make a 100% English podcast as a non-native speaker, but anyway, let's continue, and try, and see.
