Just get a Chinese girlfriend

If I remember him right, he is from Singapore. She might want to practice her English conversation skills more than speak Chinese with him. ;)

What apps/translators would you recommend? I've been hearing good things about Pleco. Money is not a problem. I am willing to buy anything if it is worth it.

Since you are willing to pay and since you have a basic grasp of the language already, hiring someone from the mainland to have conversations weekly might work more efficiently than only using apps alone. And only speaking with friends/family who might be reticent about always correcting your general pronunciation/grammar/phrases unlike a professional might extend the amount of time it takes for you to learn to be fluent.

If you like to read for pleasure, I would suggest picking up novels or books that are required or are popular for students in school that are close to the level of your abilities. Optionally, if you liked the novel, afterwards write a small summary of what the text was about and what you specifically liked about it to help your brain reinforce the neural connections. Otherwise, an app would be useful to expand your abilities.

Her stated reason? "After the National Security Law passed, Hong Kong has become a better place."

Asian Boss is horrible. They're known for purposely mistranslating Chinese. I remember watching a video where they asked Chinese people about Pakistan, and they translated "religion is important to Pakistani people" to "Pakistani people are controlled by religion" and "their quality of life is not that high at the moment" to "Pakistanis live low-quality lives" or something along those lines.

Asian Boss is about as good as Vice lol

If anyone has been in China to buy a Huawei phone recently, do you recall what the price for the foldable Mate x5 was?

Was it even available or back-ordered to hell?
