@Tfmonkey are you learning some language in case you will need to flee US?
So far I am learning major languages and few others for almost 2 months Mandarin, Spanish, Russian and Arabic. for basics I use duolingo.
So far it is pretty good but with my poor memory it takes long to remember few words 🦥
@Stahesh 我的中文好因为每天用了多邻国
@LysanderMooner So far i can understand few word so far I only have section 1 unit 3 first bubble and few in pinyin with hanzi
@LysanderMooner I like it it is pretty good source to get basic knowledge.
When I will be able to read basic things I will be able to watch videos read websites and maybe some books to read in original.
It is often good to read it in original languages because many things are lost in translation.
I often watch chinese fantasy movies with martial arts they often have original dabing with english subtitles.
@Stahesh I got super addicted to Duolingo
That's what makes it my favorite to learn and finished the Chinese course several times and I'd say I can speak up to about a B3 level CEFR if I remember correctly
