Post how your day was…

Today I moved into my air-conditioned suite-of-a-single-dorm-room for the next week. Got everything organized, and I currently rest on my temperpedic bed with the AC on 70 F. What privelege.

Check your privilege, apartment-haver!

Grats though. 2 years 'til I feel your same joy.

I love when you're out running and people wanna stop and talk to you. :3 It's one of the reasons I go out running. It's kind of a social thing and I get to have nice conversations. You also get to pet doggies a lot and can increase your outreach to more dogs than walkers.

If I had Chinese, I would be totally cool.

Last night I had one of those apocalypse dreams. I think I've had a very similar dream several times before; in the dream I was all "oh no not this again" and I kept trying to save this guy who kept dying every time. Then it would happen again and I would have another chance to aave him but still failed. Last night I told him, I TOLD him that he would die if he went back into the building instead of escaping with us but he insisted on going back in. Then later i followed him and found him on a pirate ship that planned to sail out of there and save the crew somehow. And I thought about whether I should join them because the plan made sense but my family was still at the first place with the original plan so I didn't want to abandon them.

@valiantt:

To be fair, out of the three East Asian languages, I think Japanese is the easiest to learn (as well as to speak properly in terms of pronunciation). But for any native English speaker, expect to invest about 1100 Hours in it. Probably less for those that know Korean or variations of Chinese.

So 3 hours a day for a year. I dunno, every time someone mentions Japanese and how difficult it is, it just screams out like a challenge to me. I could manage 3 hours a day. I've gotta learn Spanish first, though, due to necessity. I wanna learn it outside of the classes since I'm terrible in the classes and embarrass myself, and then take the required classes when I have to and own the heck out of everybody in there (even the teacher… j/k). The Internet has freaking everything (I've even managed to learn that you can find books on here in the same way you can find music, movies, etc. I still go by the rule of if I like it, I will buy it) and I'm sure I could find some in depth Spanish learning tools.

There's of course the fact that if I cannot learn Spanish, how will I learn Japanese. So it would be a good, useful stepping stone.

@valiantt:

Yep, Japanese sits as Category 8 (in some sort of language list for English speaker) as one of THE most difficult languages to learn that requires utmost investment in time and effort (right next to Korean, all Chinese dialects, and Arabic). That isn't to say it isn't impossible, but if you don't have familiar with the East Asian languages (Korean or Chinese), then Japanese will be a whole new challenge. Though I know nothing of Arabic, I am familiar with all three languages and they aren't easy for an English speaker whatsoever.

Arabic isn't that hard. I started learning how to read Arabic off-and-on about a year ago, and I can pretty much read fluently now (though very slowly, and only with diacritics). The most difficult part about it is learning to read right to left (which doesn't take that long to be comfortable with) and mastering the letters of the alphabet which don't exist in English (like ع "eye+n", which is this weird throaty sound, and ض "dawd" which is a "d" sound but like.. deeper).

Although I guess it's easier for me since as a muslim, my lifestyle is such that I pray 5x a day whilst reciting memorized chapters from the Quran in Arabic. I don't understand the words, but I try to pick up the meaning of words here and there though and commit them to memory. But honestly, Arabic is pretty straightforward. I'm focusing on mastering Quranic Arabic, since all the rules of Arabic come from the Quran. Once I have that down i'll move to learning the standard recognizable modern dialect which anyone from any country can understand.

@valiantt:

PS: Korean is an annoying bitch with consonants and vowels modifying the particles (not to mention the obnoxious variations of the "O" and "U" sounds) and Mandarin is confusing as all hell in terms of speaking it correctly.

Have FUN~

KOREAN! The only reason I have an interest in Korean is because of Simon and Martina - I them. Korean food looks so sexy omggg.

Oh Trappy, you spoil me so You speak Mandarin? Or Cantonese? I will gladly take you up on your offer

Btw, my husband and his family speak Hakka, though his Grandparents speak Mandarin as well. I tried searching up of absolutely ANY information about learning Hakka Chinese, but it seems to be like on its way to extinction or something :S What's up with that?

OMG A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF MANGA?! Yeeeeeeeeesssssssss.

trappedolphin

Omgosh I'm Hakka! XD I don't know the dialect at all, but my dad's Hakka so I am as well. My mom is a pure Teochew but they both speak basically every dialect. Cantonese and Hokkien are much more common than a dialect like Hakka though. It's probably related to the villages in China - size and no. of people who migrated overseas to other Asian countries.

We usually refer to Mandarin as Chinese here except in official/academic contexts, so yes I speak Mandarin. Mostly to order food XD

Japanese has the following:

-A whole new alphabet, INCLUDING Kanji (2500+ characters to be functional in the Japanese work place I think)
-Innate cultural context (there are some words that are attached to the culture itself which makes it difficult to completely translate into English)
-Honorifics (certain words,sentences) utilized for particular members of society (this is almost absent in the English language as well aside from a few examples)

Oooooooooooh I get it now. I've had the differences in Chinese dialects explained to me many times but I didn't get it. So from what I understand, Hakka is a dialect from a small part of China, like you said. I guess it must be quite small since it's so uncommon that I can barely find info teaching the dialect online.

Are the different dialects completely incomprehensible to each other, though? Or are there any words and terms that are recognizable between them?

cooldud

All I know is that both 'Tea' and 'Cha', which together account for all the variants of calling that beverage in different languages, come from different Chinese dialects.

trappedolphin

All Chinese dialects, including Mandarin, tend to have overlapping or similar sounds. Sometimes it's just deeper in the throat with a different way of clicking your tongue, or something.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

It could be that Hakka is a dialect from a relatively small part of China, like you said, or people there simply didn't spread out to other countries so it didn't become more widely spoken. Also, I think that Cantonese and Hokkien are easier to learn.

I don't understand why arabic alphabet languages are so cruel .. you have to know the language so well to be able to read it … it's so unfair
Being taught how to read arabic by my non-Arabic speaking parents, all the letters sorta get warped so there are like a billion that sound like 'z' and 'th' becomes 's', and 'w' became 'v' (but I broke out of that habit at least). And I think my understanding of pronunciation is abysmal, because I've heard there are six types of stop in Arabic, but I'm pretty sure I can only do a glottal stop ... maybe two types at best. Where the hell do the others come from?

New sounds are always going to be the hard thing for learning a new language. A lot of English-speaking people seem to have an incredible difficulty with the 'gh' and 'kh' sounds for example. So you get words which are from Arabic or Farsi or further east which just drop these sounds like 'ghoul' and 'khan' or the river Khyber etc ... and people seem to struggle with the French R which is essentially a 'gh' sound.

Still, if you hear the language a lot, you get a feel for it in terms of structure and grammar and what it should sound like. If you speak a lot, you get better at making the sounds. Languages aren't that hard if you just practice ... a lot.

I had a nightmare about exam results. Yeah, I thought I wouldn't be nervous until the night before, but here we are over three weeks away and . . .

Dryish

Sigh, another afternoon/evening spent sitting at the ward of the local healthcare center because I started getting huge allergic welts on my face after I had eaten nectarines that evidently cross-react with all the hay pollen in the air and cause a far stronger allergic reaction than I thought a simple cross allergy realistically could. At least nothing bad happened. It was scary as heck, though.

God, I hate my allergies sometimes. Especially when they suddenly act up and force me to give up on things for fear that they might kill me. I've already had to cut soy sauce (that has wheat in it) and prawns earlier this year too…

Foolio

Damn Dryish that sounds like a real pain.

Dryish

@Foolio:

Damn Dryish that sounds like a real pain.

Yeah, no kidding. I know this is slowly starting to look like a bad case of self-pitying attention whoring with all the recent angsty posts that I've been making, but this is almost too much shit for one man to bear. It's already bad enough to cope with the diet that I have internalized (I'm fairly sure you can find the list of things I can't eat somewhere pretty easily), but then things like this happen and leave me shaking with shock and anger at how things turn out.

I mean, I could still take the loss of soy sauce because there is a wheat-less alternative on the market that doesn't taste quite as good but serves the purpose, even if it meant I had to forget about some of my favourite dishes for a while, but the prawn thing hit me really hard as some prawn dishes were amongst my most eaten comfort foods amidst the world of wonderful treats everyone else but me gets to eat, and now I have to stop eating my number one summertime fruits as well? And why the fuck is it that I apparently have to be afraid of dying every time I put something in my mouth? Give me a break, this is getting absurd.

Foolio

What exactly are you allergic to? Just wheat?

Dryish

@Foolio:

What exactly are you allergic to? Just wheat?

Wheat, rye, barley, all eggs, milk (including all dairy products, so not just lactose), nuts, fish, beef, and now apparently prawns and nectarines/peaches (and possibly plums?) too.

Well he posted a couple pages back that he has no joy in his life, so that's probably how it's dealt with.

Dryish

Welcome to my world. I don't know how I deal with it either, and sometimes I just don't. :V

In all honesty, though, it's not really that difficult. You just have to be in control all the time when it comes to eating. Like, all in all my diet is so diverse that I can actually whip up pretty appetizing meals that also taste good even to people who are used to eating normally. All the veggies (apart from some fruits when there's pollen, apparently?) are fine, and since I can use spices to my heart's content it's not that my food tastes bland. It's just the sad fact that eating out without meticulous preparation in advance is extremely risky if not even impossible that makes it so disgusting, and that compounded with the feeling of culinary "segregation" and perpetual inferiority in front of people who seemingly find joy in something you know you can never share with them is enough to drive anyone into despair.

Not to speak of the traumas and extreme fear states that come with having witnessed someone close to you reaching the state of "no more medication or their hearts will burst, we can only hope now" as a result of having accidentally eaten something that's not okay for them. That's just a whole other world entirely.

Print Error

I have a long list of intolerances, including garlic and dairy, that make my own life difficult, but those aren't as bad as allergies. I feel bad enough when I have to explain to friends in advance when we do shared meals, so I can only imagine how bad and frustrating it must be when that list is both longer, and more serious when transgressed :sad:

I can see why you'd feel so down about this - it does seem unfair that we can't simply eat what we want to eat. I hope at least that nothing more needs be added to your list!

@No:

Oh no, I can eat all meats except beef, something that I find at least some solace in. Well-done and well spiced lamb is utter joy (sorry, Print Error), but it's so expensive and not exactly easy to make so I don't really get to eat it that often.

But yeah, dining, or eating in general, is one of the things in life that I really don't find much happiness in. Occasionally, yeah, but more often than not it's haunted by saddening thoughts that just diminish my appetite and minimize the amount of enjoyment there is to be had in an ordinary day. Not all the time, no, even I'm not that depressed, but you know what I mean. When it gets to me, it really gets to me hard.

Oh, and about the anaphylaxis incidents (the macabre part of my reality that I described and that No Maam replied to), it's not been just once. It's happened for ten times in total over the course of the past eight years, and to two different sisters of mine. And almost to me too. So… heh. Fun.

Yeah I can imagine that if you're cooking your own meals, you find things that work and refine dishes to a point where you're okay. But it still seems like a lot of work to make sure everything you buy is guaranteed to be safe. As for going out, that's probably the worst part. Food is a huge social element and not being able to partake, coupled with constant fear of literally keeling over if you mess up, seems overall torturous.

I know how you feel because being vegetarian can have pretty similar consequences. I'm not actually allergic but still. I suppose you could argue that it's different since my diet is self-imposed, but to be honest I would love the freedom of being able to eat meat. I was just raised vegetarian and for whatever reason I don't feel comfortable breaking that trend, to the point where even the thought of attempting to ingest meat can make me nauseous. Even though it sometimes smells delicious and appetizing.

Personaly I think the whole "taboo" thing many places have on horsemeat is dumb.

Dryish

Yeah, I actually do eat horse meat every now and then, and I do like it. The taste is sometimes just a tad too sharp and overwhelming for my own liking, but it's still pretty good. And I think I've tried goat, but only for a couple of times and I don't remember the flavor very clearly, so no comment on that one. I think, if memory serves me right, it's like lamb, but not as strong?

I've never knowingly eaten horse meat… mainly because my country are pussies about it... I understand when it shows up in things that are labeled something else, they'd freak out, but... meh.
