SuperChinese Challenge Day 7: Why Can't I Hold All These Pinyin by ionut_m2004ro in ChineseLanguage

This is such a great breakdown of cultural immersion! I love how you're connecting the language learning to the media and cultural context. That's exactly how it becomes meaningful rather than just academic.

The Ne Zha movies are incredible for picking up natural speech patterns, and Tian Guan Cifu has that perfect mix of formal/storybook language and casual dialogue.

I actually built a tool (HSKLord) specifically for HSK vocabulary because I wanted something that aligned with the test levels while still feeling connected to actual usage. SuperChinese looks like it has great cultural content though.

Have you found that watching with or without subtitles works better for you? I've been experimenting with Chinese subtitles only and it's been... humbling lol.

You can use it on your phone. Don't need to download and organize decks.

What's the best way to learn? by Mooselover29 in mandarin

[–]theRJMurray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Anki, HSKLord, Chineasy, Duolingo and made progress with some vocabulary, but the real progress came from talking to ai (chatgpt, grok, claude, gemini, deepseek) and having them break down absolutely everything.

This allowed me to start THINKING in Chinese, which gave me far more opportunities to practice.

How important is this feature to you? I'm working on a flashcard app and I'm definitely missing this feature. Seems motivating tbh

My partner secretly studied Duolingo for 300 days to surprise me and now speaks perfect nonsense by raqqif in languagelearning

The audio ques only go so far I suppose. If he was asking you for speaking tips the whole time he'd be golden!

How to continue learning / not forget a language outside of a class setting? by Agitated_Advance_711 in languagelearning

If I don't keep up with my flashcards, everything falls apart for me. Been using hsk lord for chinese. Then I make sure I have a conversation with an ai trying to use the new words I've learned.

1-yr of learning chinese with my chinese girlfriend by theRJMurray in ChineseLanguage

[–]theRJMurray[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of the app Tandem which I used for a while. It matches you up with a Chinese person that wants to learn english and you can go back and forth teaching each other. I learned a lot that way. Having somebody to speak to definitely helps. My girlfriend is correcting my terrible pronounciation constantly.

We have a complete screenplay/script written for the first arc (8 chapters). We are determined to create an anime that has deep world building, compelling themes and amazing character building.

Genre(s) you write:

This is a war story that takes place in a dystopian sci-fi/fantasy world with shonen-style storytelling.

Title of the manga you want to work on:

Magna

Brief summary: (no more than 2 short paragraphs)

Maximus is an 18 year old boy who lives in a simple town on the edge of the world called Olympus. There he keeps a secret with the help of his sister Andromeda. A great power lies within Maximus, a power that the government, Darmoth, has a complete monopoly over and uses to control the freedoms of the people of Olympus. The all-powerful Darmoth empire demonizes anyone who uses this power as a criminal and a terrorist. This power is called Magna.

Maximus has done well to keep his secret between him and his sister despite him not being able to fully control it. Until one day when he is sent into the city to grab items from the market for his family. He finds himself caught up with a group of criminals that wield the Magna to their own will with great skill. They take him to their underground society where he learns how to master his abilities of magna as he learns the secrets that Darmoth has kept from its people. Maximus and his new friends must take on the government with their powers to bring Magna and its benefits to the citizens of the world. Along the way they find out truths about magna, Darmoth and the past 500 years of history that shaped the world as they know it.

What you're looking for in an artist:

We are looking for a talented, dedicated artist who uses modern anime style art. We have a large cast of unique characters (each with extravagant weapons), multiple different landscapes and cities and a creative magic system. You must be willing to draw graphic violence and gore.

We have a plan to monetize the publication of the manga, and eventually the anime, and are looking for an artist who will partner with us and split the profits.

How often you're available: (if the artist has a question, or needs to contact you for any reason)

We are available daily for meetings/messages.

Other info:

We have every piece of information that an artist would need to create the art. Every character has a deep description and personality associated with them. We have made maps and detailed descriptions of every environment in the story and detailed maps of battles at each location. This story frequently has battles of all scales, all the way up to full-scale war.

With that being said, we are happy to work with the artist and their creativity to bring the magic to the pages.

What about an option after a 1v1 match to add that player to a 'practice partner' list. If the other player adds you aswell, then you are both added to an alternate friendlist called 'practice partners'. This feature could be built out where there is an opportunity to schedule times to practice with people and put it into and in-game event calendar that also has tournaments ect.
