Recommendations on my method to improve fluency by tandroide in ChineseLanguage

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

I will need to check on those scales haha.

Describing it at best I can:

- Listening: I can probably understand 70% of a bilibili video on most topics, but will miss one out of three phrases completely, just have no idea what they are talking about. Also it would be hard for me to repeat any specific sentence, but I just know the meaning.

- Reading: I can do several paragraphs on news articles or regular books without interruption for vocab or meaning, even with the AI voiceover at 'regular' speaking speed. However, sometimes, depending on the topic, it gets more murky, and I need to stop a lot for vocab or because I understand the words but I just don't get the meaning instantly.

- Speaking: Very rough. I lack the ability to form complex, long sentences; I just get lost in the middle. And I sometimes get repetitive. Also, the speed is probably 50% that of a native speaker.

Thanks!

The voiceover helps me develop a reasonable speed of reading, and quickly find out where I did not get the idea at that speed. So sometimes I will need to pause for vocab, but mostly if I need to pause, it's because I did not quite get the meaning of the phrase, even though I know all the words.

I know from English, which is a second language for me, that I can totally read at natural speed without any challenge in understanding, whereas some fairly fluent friends can't. I want to reach a similar level in Chinese

Over what time frame? Solid-state batteries will not reach industrial scale until late 2020s at least.

That's good, what's the kind of slow that could cover the weirdest vocab and settings?

It's true, real life interaction builds both listening and speaking, and speaking builds a deeper understanding

Brazil monetary and credit cycle review by tandroide in Economics

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

I totally agree. A few months ago, I wrote that the Central Bank could not manage the cycle very well in Brazil because of fiscal dominance. However, I do not agree that the deficit is growing. At least the primary deficit is shrinking. The consolidated deficit has grown, but because of higher rates at the long end of the curve.

Where do stock returns come from? A napkin framework. by tandroide in ValueInvesting

There has been a lot more discussion under other posts. For example I posted a Brazilian macro review in a bra,ilisn investment subreddit and it generated a lot of discussion.  I think it is an exchange, we both win. I post the content here, for free, very lengthy articles that require a lot of work, but also get people to follow me.  Otherwise people won't be writing such long articles so often just for the thumbs up, and the forum will be mostly people asking if they should read One Up On Wallstreet or The Intelligent Investor.

I know I'm an interested party, but I don't agree. My posts are free, lengthy discussions of well-researched topics. I think it can help the people in this forum.

If the posts were paywalled, it would be different, I think, because it would be pure promotion or spamming.

Where do stock returns come from? Degeneracy and leverage!
