  • I've been studying for about 10 years and every phase has been quite different, but the one piece of advice which would have been helpful for someone to give me at each stage....no matter how much listening practice you are doing, you are not doing enough listening practice.

  • Late to the party, but I've been reading 方丹。Another Japanese mystery / thriller that is quite popular in China ATM.

    Another very good book for people wanting to dip their toes into a full novel. Aside from keeping track of the names it is very easy to follow and be hooked in.

  • I use a Boox Leaf for reading as well. Whilst not the most beautiful solution, I think the pleco reader works really well on it. You can link it to anki to add new words you look up to your flashcards which is pretty handy.

  • Very glad to see this and your general efforts over the last few months to keep here alive!

    Would always be happy to act as an extra pair of hands with moderation if you ever need it.

  • Whoops - I actually used the auto suggest title feature, but clearly not to great effect...

  • Truly life being stranger than fiction, in that he was recently in the news after being acquitted in the US.

    He had this to say on the American legal system at the time: "the reason I'm sitting here, let's be honest, is not only because I was innocent... but because I had enough money not to be swept away by a process that's set up to sweep you away".

  • Sad it had to happen, but thanks very much to all involved for working on a replacement. Looking forward to signing up as this UK instance has been the best part of the 'fediverse' for me.

  • They're not uncommon in the UK either!

  • This is pure nostalgia.

    Why fewer university students are studying Mandarin

  • It does explain why all the niche communities I visit have gone from quiet to abandoned.

  • Due to being a Chinese learner, I have been playing a lot of Chinese developed games over the last few years. Gujian 3, in particular, makes me less sceptical about Black Myth than others are as Gujian 3 was so close to being a genuinely solid game. I just really hope they don't skimp on the translation.

  • I'm not sure why I am so invested in this story, but I'd love to see some consequences for this cultural vandalism.

  • Someone the other day referred to posting in niche communities as shouting into the void currently, which I thought was apt.

  • I'm seriously impressed with how functional this app is from the start. Like lots of others have said, it felt like coming home given how long I'd used Sync for. Didn't hesitate to pay for the ad free version once that option was added.

  • Yeah, this is my experience with Lemmy so far: it has replaced the "all" experience for me, but all my hobby / interests subs are completely dead.
