#utalk — Public Fediverse posts

A little oopsie in #uTalk - the photo shows actors onstage so it’s meant to be “the THEATER theater, the one with live actors” but the text in #Hawaiian is ”ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni” (i. e. “the MOVIE theater”) #languageLearning #olelohawaii

My first time in uTalk finding a flub. The Hawaiian written text for this exercise is “Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻoka i kaʻa hoʻolimalima noʻu?” but both voice tracks say, “E kaʻa hoʻolimalima noʻu, ke ʻoluʻolu” (more like, “a taxi for me, please” - either is fine I’m sure, but they don’t match! #uTalk

In Hawaiian, I learned the word “maopopo” to mean “understand” so I would interpret “ʻaʻole au maopopo” as “I don’t understand.” I was a little surprised when in the uTalk app they also used the same world for “I don’t know.” #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo #hawaiian #uTalk

I used the term “ʻĀina Pākē” in my Hawaiian class and kumu said that is fine if you want to say “the land of the Chinese” but if you want to say “China” the name of the country is “Kina.” #languageDrops has taught me “ʻĀina Pākē” while #uTalk teaches “Kina” — l just lost another unit of trust in Drops :blobcatangery: #ŌleloHawaiʻi #ʻōlelo #hawaiʻi #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo #hawaii

I really like #uTalk the language learning program! In the “Countries” unit, I get to strengthen my #geography as well as learning #vocabulary! It’s a challenge for me — can YOU pick the image for ”Kuleke” (Turkey) from the assortment below? :blobcatwhat: Someday I will get it right!
