I pay $15 to $20 per session (around 45 ~ 60 mins), depending on teachers. The problem with matching with someone already online is that it might not be the right person. There are tutors that are very good, helpful and inspiring. I don&#x2

If I use a VPN like v2ray and write some crazy shit about Dictator Xi, is your system able to know what I write and who I am? I'm very curious because many Chinese people including me are doing that daily.

Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate addiction and fun. I am addicted to Dota2. Good game. I spent little money on it. I play for more than 3000 hours. I wish I didn't.
