@Siron: my parents tried to raise me bilingual, but I think overexposure to english at school and in media (and um... internalized racism) made me lose too much cantonese. I don't speak it nearly as well as my older sister does.

hmm there's simplified chinese and traditional chinese, in which a lot of the same characters are written differently. eg. the word for love can be written as 爱 or 愛

in chinese, some characters are pronounced the same but are written different and mean different things, if that's what you're thinking of?
in jp, some kanji are written the same and mean the same thing but pronounced differently depending on context.
languages are so confusing ALDKFJ

yeah exactly! pinyin is the romanized form of mandarin, so it's a keyboard with the roman alphabet, and you type words like "ni hao" and it pops up as "你好"

do you live somewhere with a lot of french/german speakers? most ppl here learn spanish bc we have a lot of spanish speakers. I thought I would use it more often but ALDFKJD nope
the most difficult thing about learning a language is the upkeep

that's true! I do like how accessible duolingo is, I wish there were more resources like it. I think it's a good place to start, and esp if you want to learn some phrases for traveling.
ALDKFJD whenever the duolingo owl slides into my dm's I feel fear
maybe someday that fear will turn into motivation

I speak conversational cantonese, I can get by and make small talk but nothing complex.
I really want to learn it properly so I can communicate better with my fam HAHA... but the resources are very limited

I took a year of mandarin in college, which was also the first time my illiterate ass learned how to read/write chinese ALDKJF I don’t use it at all so I’ve forgotten a lot. I have little confidence in writing characters, but I can read an elementary sentence or type with a pinyin keyboard... most mandarin I remember by trying to connect it with canto but the two are very different.

I took 3.5 years of spanish in middle/high school, most of which I've also forgotten ALDKFJ there's no way I could speak it, but I remember a lot of vocab and I can sometimes piece together the meaning of a conversational sentence in writing.

I taught myself japanese hiragana and katakana for the sole purpose of reading lyrics at karaoke... and that's it ALKJFDLJK

languages are so cool tho! I'd love to learn more, I just wish I had time/dedication. I tried duolingo for a lil, but it didn't stick bc it felt very memorization-based, and I don't learn languages very well that way.

it's been good, I've done a couple attacks and gotten some nice defenses too 👀 I'm trying to do at least one drawing every 3 days, that's a reasonable goal for me ADKFLLJ
this has been so motivating tho, like every hour I'm just thinking that I wanna draw. haven't felt this inspired in a long time
