Ni hao de nouveau

Sorry ya’ll.

I’ve been hella moving still and getting more furniture and studying for my econ final and posting here has gotten away from me again.

In positive news, Hebrew is slated for release on duolingo today so in honor of the occasion, I’ve tried to at least acquaint myself with the alphabet. 

All in all, not so very hard, although I still don’t understand the finer aspects at t his point. I’m at the point where I could sound out a word, but other than the sofit letters, I’m not sure how the other orthographic rules work.

I promise to start posting more.

I promise.

“WOW YAY YOU LEARNED THE DATIVE CASE”

boy I don’t think so...

[sinonymy-blog]

oop

Sorry ya’ll I’ve been pretty busy this past little bit. Been looking for a new job and apartment lately, so I’ve been neglecting to post here. Still been chugging away at German and Spanish duolingo and finally reached the point on wanikani where I have to pay for it (yay?) So, that’s pretty much how that’s been going. 

Genetive case a shit.

Any kanji pronounced “kou” a shit.

HelloTalk -Talk to the world

Hey, guys!

Some of you might already have heard of this App, but just in case you haven’t, let me tell you something about HelloTalk (Spoiler: It’s amazing)

It’s an App that makes finding Native Speakers and immersing yourself in your target language incredibly easy! After signing up you say which languages you can speak (and teach) and which ones you would like to learn and what your current level is, and then you’re ready to find other language learners! 

HelloTalks concept isn’t repeating vocabulary and grammar rules over and over again, but actually using your target language with native speakers! 

(this isn’t one of my conversations, i got this from the google play store, i wasnt comfortable putting one of my real conversations on here)

Hellotalk makes it easy for you to correct each others mistakes and add comments explaining it! You can practise speaking and pronunciation by sending audio messages or doing (free) voice calls!

there’s a translator function in the app that you can use while you’re writing your message, which means that, if you forget a word you don’t have to close the app and look it up somewhere else, you can do it all on the actual app.

When you receive messages, it also gives you several options

you can favourite, correct, listen to or translate the message you receive, which makes understanding each other as easy as possible! 

A new thing that has been added recently is the “Moments” feature, which is sort of like a timeline feature, where you can publicly post in your native or target language and let your language partners see what you’re up to right now or like and comment on other peoples Moments

This App is just so very helpful and I literally don’t see a single reason to not download this app, if you’re passionate about language learning, especially because it’s FREE

[sinonymy-blog]

potential language partner: So, do you have skype?

me: uhhhhh

me: no

[sinonymy-blog]

Hello everyone! As this is my first post I thought I’d show you my favorite app for learning Korean! Eggbun! This app helps you learn by “texting” you, and having you reply in Korean. It is the best app on the market for Korean right now.

And even though some of the lessons cost $ to unlock, if you go to their facebook page, Eggbun Education, you can see the amazing and silly team working to make the app better. You can also message them, like I did. I got a reply from the founder! He is amazingly sweet and friendly!

Please consider this app in your studies.
