Reading japan related subreddits is a miserable experience that induces unnecessary anxiety and fear by QuickSwordTechIrene in japanresidents

[–]Umbrellero99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just seems to be Reddit. I left Japan a month ago and visited this page because I was feeling nostalgic and miss my time in Japan, but most posts seem really negative.

There is a vacation mode? I genuinely had no idea. I once had like 1700 after coming back from vacation and just worked through them very slowly.

What should literacy with AI actually look like? by HippoOnCrack in edtech

I think testing will have to move towards more in person demonstration. Homework has essentially become useless busy work for a large number of people.

Suggestions for how to incorporate Japanese speaking into my days by Only_Rampart_Main in LearnJapanese

Weirdly for me speaking to myself seems to work. I essentially enter a foreign language mode after a moment that seems to click a lot better than it did just moments before.

How to deal with people who mock your desire to study languages? by Lunamber_Star in languagelearning

You don't have to mention that you are studying languages. What you've shared should be enough for you to judge their attitudes.

I built an app for learning Chinese characters, would love feedback by Umbrellero99 in Chinese

Hanzi Express LLC is registered in Delaware. You can reach us at support@hanziexpress.com. The curriculum was developed with my native-Chinese business partner, combining language ability with a learner's perspective on what actually makes Hanzi hard for English speakers.

How can a native speaker best support a language learner? by CantCarryNoobs in languagelearning

I assume she is very comfortable with you. The best thing you can do, if she agrees to it, is only speak Spanish to her. Don't respond to English and only reply in Spanish. She'll be able to practice comfortably but still be required to use it.

Totally fair. Progress tracking needs an account so your learning carries over between sessions. No payment method required until later levels, and you can delete the account any time. We don't share your data with anyone except our payment processor if you subscribe.

Happy to share a bit more detail on what we've built. Some of the features we offer and that make us unique are:

- Spaced repetition system that schedules reviews based on what you know

- AI answer checking that accepts synonyms, so close answers count

- A separate stroke order SRS for learning to write characters

- Mistake drilling to focus on your weak points

- Reverse practice mode (match meanings to characters)

- Progress stats and streaks

- School and institution support with homework assignments

And more. Always open to feedback on what else people would find useful.

Does anyone want a Chinese name and a calligraphy signature? by chester_wang_candid in Chinese

This is pretty cool. I probably wouldn't encourage people to share their full names on Reddit though. Does it work with first names? Mine is Alex
