Parliament used this meeting to learn how to better not embarrass themselves but failed to realize this just adds to the humiliation. This country is so cooked, I don’t think it’s worth sticking around anymore.
I’m certainly not a fan of where things are heading in Canada. I’ve started learning Mandarin last year and seriously thinking of moving to China at some point.
Never hurts to keep it up, I’m cautiously optimistic with how things are developing in Belarus actually. There’s a lot of cooperation with China nowadays, and it looks like they might move toward having a similar system eventually.
I can say basic things in it now, but not exactly fluent yet. I tend to study 15-20 min every day with this app. It does a mix of vocabulary building, grammar, and pronunciation exercises. I want to get to the point where I have a bit of a base to start from, and then once I’m using it on day to day basis it should go smoothly from there.
And it’s my fourth language, I’m fluent in Russian and English, and I used to be fluent in Czech, but haven’t used it in decades so forget most of it now. Mandarin is a very different experience though. In some ways it’s easier because you don’t have to deal with stuff like conjugation, and grammar is pretty straight forward. On the other hand, reading and writing takes a lot more work, and a lot of words sound similar or even the same while having completely different meanings. So, context becomes really important.
Oh I lived in Prague for like 3 years at one point. Czech and Russian are fairly similar, so I could pick it up relatively fast if I started speaking it again. My Russian is still fluent.

I’ve been practicing my Russian a lot more lately. Things are not looking good here.

How far long in Mandarin do you feel you are? And is it your second language?

Where’d ye get that skill, from your ancestryhood? How’s Czech compared to Russian?
