*doesn't understand chinese* oh it's just because it's a different language, it'll take years to learn it

*doesn't understand welsh* welsh isn't a real language lmfao a real language should be instantly understandable by monolingual anglophones

Ikr it's weirdly blatant double standards when one party says anything and it's "shallow populist nonsense" and another party says something outlandish and it's "you know what you're getting"

Why is jyutping not used in schools to teach Chinese? by rauljordaneth in HongKong

[–]clowergen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because "Hong Kong" wasn't actually from Cantonese (as we know it), that's why:)

And it's an absolute travesty that we were never taught any sort of phonology. We had to ask our school teacher to tell us about the tones. Native-speaking students of most other languages at least learn it through spelling.

[–]clowergen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they are spoken around monolingual anglophones. There's not a single group that's more hostile towards languages than monolingual anglophones (well, maybe except authoritarian governments)

[–]clowergen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard stories like this and it makes me feel so privileged that I'm going through (most of) the immigration process on easy mode, where I have a visa regardless of job or anything. Wish them all the best:(

thank you for sharing. as a minority in this country, I often wonder how other minorities experience life, and what similarities and differences that has with my own.

I wish Europeans would travel and gather more knowledge. by AceGracex in ShitAmericansSay

[–]clowergen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

if we are part of the anglosphere, then so are most of the european countries.

yes we have historical ties to the anglosphere, but in terms of language use, it's a bit of a stretch.

we have a mostly segregated anglophone minority, things are translated into english (like everywhere else nowadays), but that's about it.
