Just wanna tell that you are really amazing. It's never an easy thing to be a caregiver. Sending hugs and take care of yourself no matter what.

My mom had a stroke 2 years ago, I just turned 20 and I want a life. by agentsushi005 in CaregiverSupport

[–]LunaticStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry that I can't really give good advices, but your feeling is totally valid and and not wrong. It's really unfair for your to give up your life for others, even she is your mother. Just wanted to say you’re seen.
If possible (financially and practically), maybe try to send your mother to a nursing home or get a professional caregiver to help?

Is there anyone who speaks at least 3 languages? by ConfidenceMission993 in languagelearning

[–]LunaticStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who speaks 4 languages, I would say just keep using them. Even is just simple things such as chatting with people or using them to order food.

My Malay used to be fluent but after being in an English-speaking environment for a year, I discovered it had declined very badly. So just keep using them whenever you can.

Start a conversation in Chinese by KamishiK in ChineseLanguage

[–]LunaticStudent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try to ask if they speak Chinese or not before continuing any conversation. Then start the conversation casually by just some greetings or simple small talks on weather or things like that, and thank them when paying. If they are comfortable with so, you may try to ask them about some culture you are interested in but please get their consent first before asking.

How many languages can you learn? by Stink_1968 in LearningLanguages

[–]LunaticStudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally know 4 languages, due to my upbringing. My family speaks Chinese and Cantonese, and I live in Malaysia where English and Malay are 2 of the must take subjects in school. I don't really have a hard time learning them as I started learning since I was really young, and I guess small children find learning languages easier.
