How's your language learning going this week? - Weekly thread (Jul 5)

I set a personal goal to stay slow and consistent with Mandarin in the beginning of the year, then life happened in January and I have not recovered and I have an enormous anki backlog 🫠.

But I've been slow and consistent with my Spanish comprehensible input. My goal over this week is to finally catch up on my mandarin anki backlog and then next week start again with mandarin comprehensible input

What're Your Reasons for Learning?

I've actually never heard someone refer to their native language as something other than their first language, and with Irish I can totally see how it's applicable. Good on you for taking it on yourself. I've read about the efforts to keep the Irish language going and it's very interesting!

Yupp, it can definitely get daunting. I just have to keep reminding myself to do it during small pockets of free time throughout the day. I let 750 mandarin vocab cards buildup.

I was thinking I will just bite the bullet and try to get it all done today instead of distributing it throughout the week. I'm pretty harsh on myself with vocab (if I don't get the answer within 3-5 seconds I just mark it as again). So doing it all today will give me an accurate idea of what cards I need to review more. I will channel the energy for both of us!

From The Verge: "Reddit will stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13th"

Reply in thread

I have considered that! The thing I like about lemmy/reddit though is that I can follow a single RSS feed that dynamically mirrors the communities I follow, so I can just follow things natively on lemmy, and my RSS reader will pick them up.

I was trying to figure out if Mastodon can do this but I do not think it is a thing 😞.

I have some time to figure out what I want to do, though. Who knows, maybe I'll just add a few Mastodon hashtags. Thanks for the pointer!
