What should I study this month?
| learn lua
| Learn Thai. It isnt hard and pretty fun.
| Also playing around on the internet in another language is kinda like going to another planet's internet. Especially if ur learning Chinese.
| Learn chess.

Pretty hard if reading/writing is included. Normal as any language if you only aim to understand vocally and speak.
| >>210282
That's what I've heard. But it's like a tonal language with same words meaning different things through the 4 tones.
So I thought it would be best to learn when being able to speak to chinese.
Or how did you learn it?
Because I actually have a interest in learning it tbh
| Learn a bit of photography
| I learned chinese to HSK 3 which is upper basic lower intermediate level in 3 months living in china. Since then ive gotten to a similar level in thai and now im learning korean hopefully to a much higher level. Tbh besides reading and writing chinese is one of the easiest languages ive ever studies. But to get the tones i really needed to be around chinese ppl constantly. After that everything was easier and easier. Thai came super easy cuz it is close to chinese also.
| Hsk 3 was all i needed to date successfully so i kinda stopped there cuz i needed to work more and get money. But i wish i could go study more chinese. Tho i got my hands full with korean now. Ghaddamn korean is hard to learn.... grammar nightmare.
| Do it nerd

What did you/do you work in Asia?
I'm what visa are you living there?
Are you a native English speaker?
| >>210875
>grammar nightmare
Is it really that hard? I always thought Korean would be one of the more easier non-latin based languages to learn.
|
| >>211117 thai was my favorite language to learn so far so the enjoyment factor made it not that hard. Think of all the nice parts about learning chinese and then put an alphabet in there so u can read and write relatively easily.
>>211121 korean has had the hardest initial learning curve for me due to grammar. But i can imagine once u know how to form complex sentences the vocab wont b an issue. Im not there yet tho so im still in the struggling stage
| >>211102 I've been switching between being a language student on a student visa and an english teacher (im american) on a teaching visa. Korea and half of china i was a teacher, the other half of china i was a student, and in thailand i just did visa runs like the majority of foreigners who stay long term do. So tourist visa. It isnt bad to have to leave every 3 months, consider it a mandatory vacation. But there are foreigners doing way more jobs besides teaching in all these plcs
| >>210271 besides reading and writing which is a nightmare to take on albeit doable. Learning chinese(mandarin) is super worth it and in my opinion the easiest to learn for english speakers out of east asia. Also it had been incredibly useful for me traveling throughout southeast asia and other east asian countries. You wont stop using chinese just cuz u leave china. Chinese people are all over east and southeast asia. But tbh enjoyment is the biggest decider on language learnin.

| Learn anything.
| >>211102
Visit the youtube Channel "advchina" (oramvchina maybe), it's 2 western guys living in China and they give very useful advices about the life
there
| Or learn Lojban.
It will be a good excercise for the brain in language, thought formation, and logic at the same time. You will very soon find yourself using much more clear constructs in your own speech in your everyday life and you will spot logical fallacies when others speak very easily.
| Learn Japanese-desu
| >>212964 i second this advice. Super good idea, those dudes inspired me to go to china in the first place.
| >>213774 Has anyone gotten pretty decent at japanese without actually going to Japan or having a Japanese study friend? I'm curious about how far you can get by yourself.
| >>215306 I haven't because I've put no effort in, but SOMEONE has had to. It's mostly a matter of having the right resources. Honestly I think learning that alphabet is what was in my way when I was more dedicated.
| Learn Japanese
Then teach usss
| hebrew
| How to comit suicide for dummies
| learn to install gentoo
learn assembly
| How hard is it to learn Japanese?
| Umm.. i mean what are some good resources that are free on the web to learn Japanese or other languages?
| Nothing
| >>235080 more specifically for Japanese, you can use bunpro, Tae Kim's app, and/or LingoDeer. there's mango too, but i'm not sure how far you can get while using it for free.
| Learn java and html and maybe a little bit of python if you wanna hack.
