So many conlang-projects that invite learners to their discord server, and therefore into closed gardens.
Why can't they talk in the open, like e.g. over the fediverse network?
Or, at least, use discourse as a forum?sigh

Got my Korean dictionary today.
Quick overview then it seems to be exactly what I wanted, and now I need to start reading/translating stuff to see if I actually can pick up them letters and words :) -

The most difficult thing about writing in Chinese is that I have "patches" in my vocab so it's difficult to string entire sentences, especially on difficult subjects like politics. Yet, it's a mystery that I comprehend much more than I can speak/write.
It's like the two brain spheres are not connected. (prob sound neurological reasons for this)
So the only way to bridge this gap is to speak and write more.

I find it annoying when I read something written by a journalist (mainly) which I know full well is inaccurate or down right wrong. Whenever I’ve had to write about a subject I am only partially or moderatly acquainted with I have gone to great pains to ensure I am as accuratte as possible. I wish article writers would be as diligent.
For example, a multi-lingual author writing about how hard it is to learn a new language wrote this:
“Or understand the practical phrase "ça a été" in French, which translates "as it has been", but in conversation is one of the most versatile ways of expressing something was well?”
Noting that the author studied French at university level and spent a year teaching there (presumably as an English -as a second language - teacher) her translation suffers from a typo as it should be translated ‘ as “it has been” ‘. It is also used to mean ‘it has gone well’ not something was well, there is a difference. On top of that, the ‘a’ between ça and été is mute when spoken and the expression can also be used as a question ‘did it go well?.
So there was a lot there to annoy me, enough to toot about it :)
Aside from that the article was interesting, not in the least because i spent a year at a Defence Intensive Language school learning Mandarin back in the 70s.

PsyPost: High rates of screen time linked to specific differences in toddler vocabulary. “New research published in the journal Developmental Science provides evidence that the amount of time toddlers spend watching videos is associated with the specific types of words they learn, distinct from the total number of words they know.”

I can actually understand it! Well, ok almost; their accent makes it difficult for me to completely understand them. (My version of Hokkien has a very, very different accent.) Cool that Fujian aka Hokkien is kinda similar to my Hokkien

The score on the English test I took was released yesterday.
I thought I got a terrible score, but it turned out my score was pretty high.
I even reached my goal (before the test, my mom said if I get that score, we are going on a trip abroad). -

I talked with English speakers in an English world on VRchat.
Usually I only go to a language learning world, but the people I met today weren't from there.
I've not been confident enough to join English worlds, so it was sort of a challenge.
They were nice and it was fun, but I got nervous and tired, and I ended up feeling a little sick.
I want to be able to talk in English comfortably. -

I play #vrchat to talk in English.
Sometimes I lose my confidence because I can't have conversations well.
But today, I was able to speak smoothly and it was fun.
When you're learning a language, it goes up and down.
I sometimes get devastated, sometimes get confident and have fun a lot. -

I didn't listen to English at all yesterday (because I was hanging out the entire day), so I want to listen to English a lot today.
Since I had plans to take an English test, I was focused on practicing reading.
But it turned out my listening got really worse when I was taking the test, and the test was devastating.
I've been trying to listen to English as much as I can these days, and I feel like I'm getting my listening ability back.
But I need to improve my listening much more. -
