This time, Liu Xueyi's character Yuan Zhong has finally switched to his main account, and the high priest of the fox tribe, Yuan Zhong, is finally making his appearance! [Hot Drama Watch's Weibo video]</p><p>"切大号" (qiē dà hào) literally means "switch to main account" - a gaming/metaphorical term referring to a character revealing their true/powerful identity. Yup, if you've seen the episode this came from you'd get it.

Bryce Dixon<p>Anyone have any app or book recommendations for learning vocabulary for Japanese? I've started using HelloTalk recently and while I like it's chat feature, I really don't like how predatory it's pricing is for all of its other content. I could always use good-old digital (or physical) flashcards, but that doesn't provide varied contexts for words and requires a lot of setup. I also don't like Duolingo very much because, in my experience, it's very slow, has very strange sentence choices, and lacks proper grammar explanations for those sentences.</p><p>Ideally, I want a tool that:<br>- Features a lot of sentence variety<br>- Allows me to move at my own pace<br>- Focuses on natural/common sentence contexts<br>- Provides context/explanation for different grammar rules</p><p>Kanji are something I already have strategies for learning, so that's not a strong requirement, but would still be a nice bonus.</p><p><a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/learningjapanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learningjapanese</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/LearningLanguages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearningLanguages</span></a></p>
