Casual Conversation

2797 readers

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm learning Korean, Russian, and Mandarin right now! It's a bit difficult at times, but I really enjoy them.

Currently Anki for flashcards, Tobira for grammar and miscellaneous other practice, the Tadoku graded readers for reading practice and the Japanese with Shun podcast for listening (my listening comprehension is behind).

Anki certainly has a learning curve, but it can't be beat for content and flexibility. However, I have a background in web design, which really helps a lot with making the most of it. My Anki workflow is rather customized at this point.
