Game in the Brain

Chinese studies ran long:

1. Decided to add more to my training. Particularly trying to make best use of the one hour everyday. Moving stuff around so I can just concentrate on it for one straight hour, with up to 30mins extension. 
2. Planned and Experimented with making a Tactical Flashcard Set. basically I play insurgency I I play with a lot (20% of the teams) of Taiwanese and some Chinese. 
1. Made a method of creating a Audio Flashcard that prompts me a situation I should communicate effectively at a given time. Basically i will start my timer and run through 20-100 lines of circumstances I have to communicate effectively. 
1. example: There is an enemy on your ally’s right in Chinese. The reply is “朋友，敌人在你右边！“ (friend there is an enemy at your right). Not limited to directions but tactical activities: support, reinforcements, flanking, retreat, pull back, 
2. have about 20-100 of these and go through it as fast as I can. I need to be able to respond as fast I as should be able to respond in english, which is under a second or under 1-1.5 seconds per line (listening and responding). 
3. Drill that alternating with my reading studies. 
2. Thesis: 
1. Immediate feedback, i can see if it works or not. I’m adding supplamentary vocubularly  
2. Its practical, so that I can hear such talk with my chinese team mates and be able to respond. 
3. To be able to listen to their accents. 
4. It would be useful in airsoft in the future as I can coordinate in mandarin with 3 of my team mates. 
5. Since there are many chinese tourists here, the ability to give directions in chinese would be helpful. 
3. Resetup/Installed ot Pinyin Keyboard
1. installing fcitix comes first (sudo apt-get install fctix). It sets up that keyboard symbol on the panel. but you need to reboot and then type and enter im-config on the keyboard to start working it out.
   sudo apt-get instal fcitix
2. installing all the fctix pinyin dictionaries 
1. sudo apt-get install fctix-pinyin
2. sudo apt-get install fctix-sunpinyin  (installed but not showing up in options)
3. sudo apt-get install fcitx-googlepinyin
4. sudo apt-get install fctix-anthy (didnt work for me)
5. sudo apt-get install fctix-mozc (didnt work for me)
6. Note: you can install and reboot the “Input method options” to make the recently installed stuff show up or you may have to reboot the whole compute. Mine just took a app reboot. 
3. on terminal type
   im-config
4. choosing an Input Method  Go to the keyboard symbol on panel 0 and click on configure input method. 
1. choose the + symbol
2. de select the current keyboard
3. and type chinese in the search or pinyin to look for any. google pinyin keyboard showed up for me. 
4. voila done.
