I wish I could learn Chinese but it looks fucking impossible. I learned English cause it’s retard-tier easy and French cause it’s quite similar to my mother tongue, but I don’t think I have what it takes to learn that

tomb raider

luv' me sum 'orse noodle

Horse

Tomb Raider

game successfully simplified for a wider audience only for people who never played the original to seethe like retards because "muh soul"

Steam Dwarf Fortress I guess

I can speak it at a conversational level after around 3 years of practice. Tones and writing are borderline impossible but thankfully most people type Chinese and tones aren't needed with context. Basically you will never sound natural but people will understand you

Instead of simplified they should of changed it to a phonetic language. Simplified Chinese is literally the worse of both worlds

Traditional Chinese is 1 character = 1 consistent sound

Simp Chinese 1 character can be 3 different sounds dependent on context

Being easier to write makes it harder to read and in the age of the internet reading is more important

What's a good resource to learn traditional chinese?

How do you even memorize one character for every word if you haven’t been doing it since you were a child? That sounds impossible unless you study several hours a day and maybe live in china and have contact with the language 24/7

Anki.

yeah i will never learn chinese.
they have 24 fucking vowels, and the only difference between them is your tone of voice, and they all mean different things so if you speak in the wrong tone you might be saying the wrong word.
that's why chinese people sound so "angry" when they talk. because the words they are saying require that tone. As opposed to english, where your tone just shows what mood you are in.

fuck that. i have no patience to learn this shit at my age.

There are 3000 traditional Chinese characters (2,000 if simplified) that make up around 99% of what you will see. 2000 sounds like a lot but at 5 a day you can memorize them all in 2 years.

bro i have been speaking english for 40 years and I don't think I know 3000 english words.

I hate the way anki is set up

Well then you will have to buy a Chinese book and read that every day, every time you forget a character (any good Chinese book will only use characters that it already taught you) you make sure to write the pinyin above it

People complain about reading chinese characters but the characters are easy compared to the spoken language. Once you remember a tone you will remember it. It's simple 1 character has one meaning/sound. It's the fucking tones that are impossible

the stroke order of "horse" is already aesthetic and intuitive though

They took the heart out of love
Literally soulless

John Defrancis has a massive textbook series in traditional Chinese characters
He has three different textbooks series
Beginning Chinese is written entirely in pinyin transcription with no hanzi and there's audio recordings available for everything
The second is Character Text for Beginning Chinese, this is Beginning Chinese but instead of pinyin you get Hanzi
The third is Beginning Chinese reader
This is a completely different text from the above and it assumes you don't know any Chinese
Get anki and put FSRS on
Download yomitan and download the default Chinese dictionary

Awesome, thank you, the seal script cover is very nice too. I seek to eventually learn a decent chunk of classical traditional chinese. So this looks good.

Does this cat look like he's having a good time listening to chinese???

Literally every Capcom ip

I hope you're aware of the different between Classical/Literary Chinese and vernacular/modern Chinese

Literally just read texts in traditional and practice characters with flashcards and paper if you already know simplified. If you don't know either, use a textbook that uses traditional, simple as. New Practical Chinese Reader is a Chinese textbook but has a traditional version too. It's good for complete beginners.

written entirely in pinyin transcription with no hanzi

Holy fucking shit, avoid anything like that

love

alright

horse

ok

noodle

Nigga what?!
I remember this doujin. He raped her until she loved it. lol

Noodle just got cut in half.

Partly, but that's why I'm trying to find literature on it.

If you want to study Classical Chinese as in Lao Tzu or Confucius you'll need to look elsewhere
A New Practical Primer of Literary Chinese is my favourite textbook
Generally people study modern Chinese and then Classical Chinese though

"Love horse noodle" means "I love horsecock". That's what is wrong in the pic. Only Vaush, Mr. Hands and women like that.

Nice, thank you. My interest lies primarily in Classical Chinese because I need it for work. less so modern Chinese though it would be handy to read too.

Why should I learn Chinese for?

Monkey Island

Both taiwanese and chinese can't even remember how to write out the characters anymore ever since the rise of the iphone and texting.

taiwanese sounds very sweet compared to mainland chinese. nuke the mainland, india, pakistan, all the arab countries, the uk, and south africa.

Ok cool
My suggestion is that you join the Discord Classical Chinese server called Classical East Asian Languages
discord.com/invite/vmfxMAcw72
It's the only place in English on the internet where Classical Chinese is discussed in English and they're all very passionate and knowledgeable
You may have to study Modern Chinese eventually because there's obviously way more resources in it than in English

same with english students. Without spell check they misspell everything and have the most atrocious handwriting ever.

can't see the apple award

Also

inb4 discord

There's literally nowhere else, trust me I've tried looking
There was a forum which had some posters but that's dead

I cant 'believe the commies changed the word face and took the word for "Face" in classical then just changed it as "noodles". Make it so confusing. I don't like Horsefaces.

Nice, thank you very much. I'll join up later, just have to create an account. It's certainly better than nothing.

Soul. (Trad)

Lack of Soul. (Simplified)

Fire Emblem 3 Houses vs Fire Emblem Engage.
Chinese is useless unless you plan to selling your soul to gigacorps there to make money slaving away 9-6 type of workload. Well, only way it would be useful in the west would be if you were into historical works from China or Kung Fu or cooking, they are useful then.

Learning new languages is fun. Why does that need to be justified based on its usefulness? You sound pretty soulless to me.

Chinese be like

I liked with when Shi did Shi against Shi with a Shi

i was taught cursive, my handwriting is basically encrypted to anyone born in this century and my notes and journals look aesthetic as hell. Feels good to stay winning

Simplified Chinese didn't decrease illiteracy rate though

Taiwan has always had higher literacy rates than China despite using trad Chinese

I’ll move to china and work for the great CCP

Taiwan and the Mainland both speak Mandarin you imbecile.

sounds =/= what they speak. mainland mandarin has hard r's, especially shanghainese which is painful to the ears. taiwanese, also speaking mandarin, is pleasant and playful.

Simplified Chinese, China

Trad noodle is 2 characters: wheat and surface/face.
They just deleted the character of noodle and added an new meaning to face in simplified Chinese.

read uncensored japan loli manga published in taiwan

the 'heart' radical gets replaced, and the new bottom half is the character for 'friend' in the knockoff version of 愛

Simplified, more like cucked.

It's based on the pronunciation of the word. It's still noodle or face depending on how it is stressed and used, especially in Cantonese. Pretty efficient but if you subscribe to the Saphir-Worf hypothesis you can argue it could be why they're so autistic/robotic.

I keep that to myself if i was you anon

I fucking love the Chinese (and to a lesser extent Japanese) language.

It filters out all the whites and browns.

You will never be part of our internet or culture. Whites are to us as spics/blacks/jeets/muslims are to you.

You are leeches on our anime and game culture because you're too negrefied to make your own. :)

the only difference between them is your tone of voice, and they all mean different things so if you speak in the wrong tone you might be saying the wrong word

You lack self reflection if you think English doesn't have bullshit on the level of this.

What are you getting mad at? He just said anime is not Chinese, which is correct.

stole

Copied. And it doesn't matter now since anime has evolved into its own thing and the rest of the world is trying to copy it.

How would Americans localize these terms?

My wife is a white suburbanite and speaks fluent Chinese. For some reason she got really into it and studied it in school and lived in China for years. She even was a broadcaster for out cities mlb team. China pretty much has a separate broadcast for every mlb game with their own announcers in Chinese. Basically what I'm saying is that if this white suburban girl can learn it well enough than just about anyone else can if they actually want to

So Blue Archive and Genshin Impact aren't anime?

BTW all "Japanese" anime have animators and background artists from Korea, China, and SEA.

What part of anime is exclusive Japanese again?

STFU brown boy.

Why would we want to learn a shitty language from a country with no future? Even Chinese are immigrating en masse to the states, Chinese migrants increased by over 10,000% in the past few years.

Someone post the screencap telling you not to learn Chinese.

Ch*nese is such a horrid language both in writing and sound.
They have fucking picture books instead of letters! Millions of little picture for each word just because those chinksect brains can't read, and they're too stubborn to change to a much better system.
And the spoken language is so fucking VILE to the ears. It sounds extremely unpleasant and utterly nonsensical, just constant strings of chinksect hissing.

What is wrong with the Ch*nese and how can we keep containing them behind their great firewall? They've been leaking out way too much over the recent years, They're an issue second only to Indians.

So Blue Archive and Genshin Impact aren't anime?

No, anime refers to Japanese animation.

all "Japanese" anime have animators and background artists from Korea, China, and SEA.

Do you think Microsoft is Indian too because many of its employees are Indian?

STFU brown boy

Actually I'm yellowish.

'eese on the 'log

No, anime refers to Japanese animation.

Lol you're retarded and autistic. The whole world considers BA and GI anime except for you. I guess you can continue being autistic alone.

Do you think Microsoft is Indian too because many of its employees are Indian?

Yes.

Actually I'm yellowish.

STFU American muttboy you don't speak Chinese or Japanese. You are a dog compared to me.

Open a random episode of MahoAko, Anon Babble's beloved anime

Bunch of SEA slaves doing the main key frames

"B-b-but it's full yamato damashii animu, unlike Blue Archive and Genshin Impact cheap copycats"

Lol get BTFO "yellowish" American muttboy

I bet you're half white half filipino. Fucking dog

did you get filtered by kanji when learning japanese?
nothing to say to you except git gud

The whole world considers BA and GI anime

A common mistake by most people. Most people think everything with artstyle resembling anime are anime, including things that's not Japanese related at all.
And no, I'm not American. Why are you so angry and defensive anyway, are you Chinese?

Why is everyone so interested in learning Chinese, is it a hobby thing? Is there any advantages to learning it?

Kanji is a fraction of the chink autism, and it still fucking sucks. AND it is a direct result of chink autism.
So you, chink runes fucking suck. Doubly so for having an horrid effect on japanese as well.
At least the koreans got rid of the chinese influence entirely.

DO NOT LEARN MANDARIN

Zachtronics

chink propaganda bots

Not sure you realized it by now but 80% of this site has been taken over by bots. Chink and Indian bots are the biggest ones. Indians literally profit off of reposting twitter/reddit threads. While Chinks do nothing but shill their shit 24/7. Anon Babble isn't the only place like this either.

Stfu Filipino dog. Anime belongs to everyone, not just Japan. Korea and China are making great anime games while Japan stagnates and produces no good games.

Blue Archive, Nikke, Azur Lane, Mihoyo, etc. controls all fanart. All Japs have is Frieren and westoid shounen slop for anime, and wannabe western slop for games (MH, RE, Fromsoft).

You have low mixbreed filipino IQ so you can't understand that BA, GI, Uma Musume, etc. are all anime despite all coming from different countries (Japan or not) while Netflix DMC is not anime.

Kill yourself mutt.

They should just come up with an alphabet

At least the koreans got rid of the chinese influence entirely.

yes and this is an anime website, not a korean website. because korea is irrelevant. maybe getting rid of chinese characters lowered their IQ.

Try again, I'm not Filipino either.

Korea and China are making great anime games

Japan stagnates

So you like anime but also hate Japan and want their anime to be recognize as your own?
Let me guess, you are Chinese?

Blue Archive

Nikke

Stellar Blade

bunch of other Korean anime games

huh?

lol

sometimes i wish china were colonized to the core so that their language got romanized like vietnamese. Sure it would rely more on context to get the meaning in writing, but being easier to read and write is more important, like korean

And what have Korea and Vietnam accomplished vs Japan which kept using kanji

Mao wanted to but Stalin talked him out of it (yes really) so the system they were working on was turned into Pinyin and repurposed as a learning tool.

what does it have to do with writing system? in terms of public education people are less likely to have this issue

Because what matters is outcome not your personal beliefs of what's good for people

Wait, are you actually a chink trying to defend your dumbass runes?
Go read a picture book lmao

It's just a better language. Like 1234 to I II III IV.
But they didn't produce any cultural hit like they used to so I guess there's no reason to learn Chinese except improve your IQ.

Korea and Vietnam abandoned Chinese characters, Japan kept using them. Which country ended up more successful? Results matter more than speculation.

How do people take the time to write in Japanese ? I mean, look at it. There's so many fucking little dashes you have to do.

If you're in a rush you can write in cursive

it's called bopomofo

i say nigger and everyone knows i said "nigger" and what i mean, regardless of what faggot ass "tone" i say it in

The Japanese have that (hiragana) but still insist on using kanji. Maybe take some time to reflect on that.

Grass script is its own thing and not really comparable to cursive in Latin or Cyrillic scripts.

if your best argument against homophones is nigger, you are not gonna make it regardless

correlation =/= causation

Cope.
Shinjitai > simplified

Fallout
Diablo

uh i got filtered so make the writing system boring pls

no fuck you. logographs are soul.

delicious irony
