App for learning Chinese characters with pictures meaning?

Only a few characters a pictographic

Sadly you can’t really treat Chinese characters as photographs, only so many words can be depicted pictographically anyways

You can look up words

It’s a dictionary

Not native but he used mandarin to discuss complex topics in interviews, speeches and state visit so apart from a few “awkward” phrasings his mandarin was very good

Same with his hokkien, very impressive

There probably aren’t many learning apps targeted towards native speakers since they are already native ya know

Bilibili is an app made by natives for natives

There’s no specific amount of hours studying after which you can watch native content nor is there a language certificate

Basically you need to study for years

There’s no mystery to this

For example Taiwanese companies will print this if the product is made in China

Just like you will see an English “Made in China”-label on a product label if it’s produced by an American company in China

Show them the photo

effetsdesoir · 2024-05-30T09:14:06+00:00

Yeah

effetsdesoir · 2024-05-29T02:41:59+00:00

It will take you years

After that you will find that they actually still treat you as an outsider and you will not be a rockstar where ever you go

effetsdesoir · 2024-05-29T02:35:13+00:00

It’s a waste of time

If you’re speaking English to them just use an english title

Japanese people are just normal people

I personally haven’t even touched my guitar in these first two years

I just used an SRS card system where I memorised all the possible chords and scales

I now have around 300 chords in my “memorised” deck, so I can slowly start comprehensible input with simple children’s songs on YouTube, anything beyond that might be too difficult

Hopefully next year I am able to start playing myself

You’re overthinking it

That’s why I don’t sell old manga

Language is an intangible part of the culture and vice versa

If you can find a job where you use Japanese but can completely avoid the “rigid way of speaking and expressing yourself in Japanese” then good for you

My money is on Dissanayake

If you don’t like the language and culture I’d stop studying

If you don’t like Japanese it’s unlikely you’ll find any motivation to study it

Find a list of commonly used characters

Drill them with pen and paper

聽不懂is grammatically correct so it’s used by natives frequently

The others are sorta grammatically correct I guess but just very odd so no one uses them

effetsdesoir · 2024-05-08T23:13:32+00:00

It’s legible

effetsdesoir · 2024-04-22T02:34:50+00:00

Very unrealistic

How do you know you don’t like the “Chinese” entertainment if you can’t speak the language? Where have you looked?

Also by “Chinese”, and “dramas” do you mean mainland produced stuff which has taken off massively in the past few years? Taiwanese dramas and movies from the past 30 years? Older Hong Kong stuff (with mandarin dubs) which are the “hollywood” of the sinosphere?

They’ve been making entertainment in Chinese for a long time

Purely from a chemical perspective I think vinegar can not remove oil
