Brian Ambrozy<p>I've been learning Spanish, and tonight I hit kind of a mini-milestone. I typed out a whole-ass sentence en Español and then checked it against two different translation apps and my Spanish was SPOT ON. I'm pretty proud of this!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/languageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>languageLearning</span></a></p>

ivaliya<p>I'm not sure I understand when Japanese use English loanwords (in katakana) instead of Japanese ones (given that there are both). Like there's the word 贈り物 for "present, gift" but then プレゼント is used. The same thing with 吸血鬼 for "vampire" and ヴァンパイア.<br>I wonder if there's inner logic, rule or it's just preference :meowthinking: <br><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Japanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japanese</span></a></p>

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾<p>Some person in a forum claims they got fluent in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Mandarin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mandarin</span></a> in 8 months. Possible if you are a genius, not possible for most.</p><p>I am Chinese, grew up speaking the 8 tone Hokkien language, so I do have some advantages. I also learned Mandarin in school for a few years. Took HSK classes too. I can read up to Hsk 2/3 depending on the vocab. My listening skills is advanced and my speaking skills are prob hsk 3 or 4.</p><p>But if I go to China and claim that I am fluent in Chinese they'd flay me alive for being an arrogant fool 😆. You can have HSK 6 skills, but that's only beggining level for most Chinese. Hsk 6 is just dipping your toe in the waters.</p><p>Mandarin has such complexities you can't really be fluent in 8 months. For example, understanding chengyu? That would prob take a year or two to even grasp.</p><p>So fluent, perhaps in the West or countries outside East Asia, means being able to read and speak a little. Being conversant. I suppose that's fine. If your reading levels aren't even HSK 3, you can't call yourself fluent because writing and reading is the backbone of the Chinese language. You can't do without it.</p><p>In China, and even in South-East Asia fluent means a whooooole other thing.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chinese</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a></p>
Sirana<p>German language advice: </p><p>Many long scary words are just several small words in a trench coat. It's like lego, you just have to know how to stack them. </p><p>Also, many words are rather, well, descriptive:</p><p>Handschuh -> hand shoe -> Glove<br>It's kind of like a shoe, but for your hand.</p><p>Fußgängerüberweg -> foot walker over path (sort of) -> pedestrian crossing <br>The path where people walking on foot can cross the street.</p><p>And that second one is often marked with a Zebrastreifen, a zebra stripe, because it's a bunch of white stripes placed on usually rather dark coloured streets, creating a pattern resembling a zebra.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GermanLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GermanLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/German" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>German</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SecondLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SecondLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Linguistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linguistic</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a></p>
