  1. CW: food (language studies)

    Good idea that turned out to be terrible; eating extra crunchy crackers while listening to my Mandarin lesson.

  2. "Hm. In effort to _not_ get an heavily wuxia slanted vocabulary I'd probably watch something modern."

    *scrolls through Viki*

    "A grave robbing thriller*? In China it actually makes sense. And at least they're plundering their _own_ tombs...

    ...

    ...I _hope_"

    (*The Sound of Providence - looks like I'll be watching this ~franchise backwards.)

  3. The sudden realisation that if I'm using streaming shows to improve my Mandarin, and continue consume 100% wuxia I'll probably sound like this the very moment I try to speak it

    "Prithee, good sir! Where's the nearest inn? I need to recuperate."

    (Edit; eye contact in pic - I'm tired today.)

  4. My Mandarin reading exercise: ..."the movie is a romance"...

    Me: No way!🙀 In _China_??? Who'da _thunk_...

    (It may be selection bias on either me or Viki, but I've never stumbled across so many romances as when I started watching C-drama.)

  5. Hello! I'm Martha Crimson. I'm a habitual language learner, and I hate inflecting verbs.

  6. CW: food (mention - toot about language learning)

    Trying to learn a new language? Listen to someone who's studied ~10 languages. Look up these words and memorize them, because they _will_ show up:

    •coffee
    •tea
    •chocolate

    The only language course where I wasn't taught these three was Classic Sanskrit. Good luck!
