I’m about a month into learning Mandarin Chinese. I expected the character set to be the challenge but really it has been the inflection and intonation that I’ve had the hardest time with so far.
That equation is really giving “huehuehue”
Yeah same. Filed two weeks ago.
I’ve been starting to learn Mandarin Chinese using the “Hello Chinese” app. What are your recommendations for where I might be able to speak mandarin with native speakers online?
Oh it got the tisch treatment too
Does simp mean something different than the current meta here?
Ngl a little jelly I can’t get BYD here in the states.
Ok this is funny
Aaand PPAP is now stuck in my head.
A lot of the Pokemon games are text heavy
Religion and cult is basically the same thing with different connotative subtext.
I can’t unsee this as poochyena at a kill site with blood on the ground, but that’s surely not what’s intended right? What’s this supposed to be?
Honestly I love language and languages in general, so I rarely need an excuse to go study one haha.
That said, Mandarin Chinese was attractive to me for a few reasons.
Firstly, a LOT of people in this world speak it, so it has high utility potential and may even come in handy for me professionally.
Secondly, I think the culture and history of China is interesting and that my default lens for it is likely heavily biased. I’ve always found that reading source material and opposing positions or narratives has helped me understand the truth of a matter with more (albeit still imperfect) clarity.
