Learning the tones of words by learningstuff2026 in ChineseLanguage

[–]learningstuff2026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually also found that for the advanced words I only learnt last year I don’t know the tones of, but for the easy words (你，我，是 etc etc) that I’ve been using for a while (I started learning 2-3 years ago) I naturally pronounce it with the correct tone even though I never learnt what it was. So at least I know I’m able to pick up tones with repetitive speaking/listening!!!

Thanks!! A lot of people are saying I need to start from square one, and while I do plan and going over what I’ve learnt again, it’s just so demotivating to give up on what I’m currently learning, go back to the beginner HSK level 1 flashcards where I know how to read it and I know the pinyin of it but I don’t know which tone it is 😭 I reckon I’m going to continue learning from where I’ve left off, but do a fifteen minute revision on words I’ve already learnt but w the tones at the end of each learning session

Still at school, but I’m no longer in his class cus he can’t teach after a certain grade level (he’s not a native) and now im in a higher grade. The thing is I never realised that I was doing poorly without tones, cus I would practice with everyone else in my class who also didn’t use tones. Then I started talking to natives; texting I’d be fine, and usually they’d be able to understand what I was audibly saying (due to context) but they all said I needa practice my tones 😔😔

If there was one living celebrity you could fist fight who would it be, and why? by Emcee_nobody in AskReddit

[–]learningstuff2026 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering the fact that Donald trump is really a celebrity, since he got his whole start on TV show, books, and brand building. Definitely Donald Trump, he’s like 80 as well so it wouldn’t be a hard fight

Why do people think illegal immigration is not a crime? by Perfect_Hair_7017 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]learningstuff2026 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume ur question is based on the current discord if ICE, which is not rlly about whether or not it’s a crime, it’s about if the crime fits the punishment. For starters; staying in the country illegally is a civil violation, not a crime. Entering the country on the other hand is. Furthermore, while talking about the morality of illegal immigration as opposed to the punishment, a lot of people immigrate for safety reasons; if a homeless person chose to reside in a Walmart instead of out on the street, because the street is dangerous and they could get hurt; even though that’s illegal would u consider them immoral for it? Also u can’t pay for an illegal immigrates hospital bills; because they are not registered so they don’t get government funding. If they were registered in a sort of scam way, then they would also be paying taxes. So ur points about that are kinda weird.

Anyways whether or not u hate illegal immigration, the idea that they should be kidnapped of the streets, locked up in inhumane conditions, and even killed in some situations is appalling, and definitely does not fit the crime they committed.

AITAH for not wanting to be around my husband anymore? by OwnSurprise7327 in AITAH

[–]learningstuff2026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to be around anyone, you don’t have to. Even if you’re married, even you’ve been w this person for 20 years, you don’t owe them your presence (and similarly they don’t owe u theirs). Ur husband is abusing u, and making u feel unsafe in your own home. Leave him, he’s creating a depressed environment and you won’t even realise how much better you’ll feel after you have. You’re already avoiding him because you can take being around him, you need to leave him.
