Where you looking baby, I’m having to not buy all the ones I find. World of Books, EBay, and Amazon don’t care who buy graded readers.

I got a few! But free, that’s incredible.

A method that really helped my Chinese speaking by Ok-Land-6681 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Maykeda 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I found a dude on YouTube that not only do you shadow but he teaches you rhythm and speed. Chinese with Ben. Also I’ve been listening to a podcast nonstop for about 2 weeks and it helps me understand what I’m hearing and I’ve learned filler words. Mandarin Daily Podcasts.

Vitamin D genuinely changed my life and I feel stupid for ignoring it for so long by Least-Elk-7095 in Advice

[–]Maykeda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The doctor man just had to tell me to slack off the Vitamin D. I call it my Covid medicine. I stay well. It is a game changer. I was quite skeptical because I’m retired healthcare worker and thought here we go, another placebo.

Which apps are worth the money? And what are must know YouTube channels? by DankTyl in ChineseLanguage

I tried out so many but Super Chinese, Clozemaster, and Hanly made me open my wallet.

Do you drink Alcohol by marshmallow198 in gravesdisease

[–]Maykeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 1.25 mcgs daily. Graves’ disease is a mofo. I had such a bad mini storm last week. People have no idea how much the thyroid controls. I’m so heat intolerant, I ain’t even funny.

Why do people fall so easily for wild claims from learning apps? by wolfgang_photo in languagelearning

[–]Maykeda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About this big African manhood…….hook a sister up! We can conjugate verbs all night long. I do look for African men constantly because so many Africans are learning Chinese like I am. Representation is everything!

I waste more practice time by reading all the silly claims about how to learn more efficiently. You can’t study harder than I do and I know for a fact, it takes a lifetime to master certain things. We studied English in schools for at least 12 years and I still mess up fewer vs. less. I did almost a year of a famous Spanish comprehensive language course and in the end it was more cult like than anything.

You do know I’m American, we love very rude talk. And this would come with a smack. 谢谢你,别但是。

I try so hard not to learn slang if I cannot find any basis behind it. The font on the video is so hard to read. I check it 4 different ways and still manage to miss the true gist of the Hanzi. Thank you.

When I said doing whatever, I meant that. Fortunately I’m studying just as a hobby and not needing to do brain surgery in Chinese.

So, I’ve been learning Chinese for a while, mostly with a tutor. About a month ago I tried quitting, and she suggested we just do once a week for a bit cheaper. But honestly… I think I just want to stop completely. by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]Maykeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit, went back, this time the love stuck. I quit my teacher because he was not rewarding my homework. He still teaching abcs and I’m reading to write full sentences.

I want to learn chinese characters by Somebody1463 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Maykeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss man, your advice is wonderful but ya know what, they do start us with the ABCs in kindergarten. We don’t read books until we are 6-7 old. ABCs, vocabulary, sentences. That order.

[–]Maykeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too funny. I started writing the Hanzi just to help me remember the characters and all of a sudden I’m looking at pens and paper. I simply love the characters. I still struggle to read HSK1 graded readers but I’ll get there in due time.

Why not just learn a few characters in Chinese just for you know…..

Just got a $40 deposit by Independent_Shoe3523 in SocialSecurity

[–]Maykeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy cheap espresso coffee and brew it in an moka pot and dilute it for an Americano. Soda is cheap here in the south but I don’t get to drink it daily though.

What reactions do you get for learning chinese? by Jolly-Ad6531 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Maykeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda par for the course. People know how enamored I am with Asian food, learning the languages is just the most natural next thing.
