I need to immerse in Chinese, but the amount of political madness that's happening in the West is sth I wanna keep an eye on. China doesn't have our problems, nor they understand them. The Chinese live in a bubble, it's hard finding good political analyses on the West in 中文.

Litterally me after a long day of Chinese immersion or having used multiple languages for hours. A veces hasta me cuesta hablar en español del cansancio cognitivo. Pero sin trabajo duro no se ven resultados.

The EU wants to control porn & Spain has already created " el #Pajaporte " (fap-passport) We are just like China, but without a prosperous economy or national sovereignty🥲 We have no separation of powers, no privacy, voting is useless and public services are being dismantled

I am trying to brush up my Chinese and improve it... It is just so hard. There is a huge difference between studying languages within the same family and studying something completely new.

Why Chinese🇨🇳 listening comprehension is hard? Lots of dialects: if one phoneme changes, the word becomes homonym with many others. Super fast speech and lots of info in few words. Everything is subtitled, one ends up overrelying on them. Add connected speech changes & tones

"Choro", que significa "ladrón", viene del verbo romaní "chorel" que significa robar. De ahí también nos viene en España el uso de la palabra "chorizo" (saussage) con el significado de ladrón.

尽管我最近忙于修改我学术文章的手稿,我的中文还是突飞猛进了。但除了英文,我这儿不怎么用其他语言发推文。看得懂这个推文的人不多,engagement当然会大幅降下。我好讨厌社交媒体的逻辑啊。 讽刺的是,我们“多语者”老是单单用英文来滔滔不绝地赞美语言学习的乐趣!我们是不是叶公好龙嘛?😂

"Become wise in 5 minutes a day, no effort, just fun!🤪 #stoic😎, #wise🧐, #much gained respect 🤠" I hate so much the gamification and comodification of everything that makes life meaningful and beautiful.

Happy to see that I am not the only one thinking about this (See The Mezzofanti Guild). Especially as a vegan, low levels of creatine have long made me a less effective learner, often getting exhausted after my daily long learning sessions. Now, I am doing much better💪

It is amazing how this book from 1989 explains so well people's current obssesion with tourism/travelling, authenticity, having "new experiences", differentiation (ex. by inventing new genres), and even the anti-work movement.

Once I told a young Crotian woman that all their languages were basically the same and she freaked out. She was like "oh muh God, look at this idiot pretending to know more than a Croatian about her lang... blah blah blah" Studying linguistics makes life harder, guys...
