Is there a resource for Mandarin Chinese learners that makes it easy to create multiple flashcards for the same word, i.e. one that shows the Chinese characters and asks for the Pinyin, one that shows the Chinese characters and asks for the meaning, one that shows the Pinyin and asks for the meaning etc.? Because I'm not doing all that manually 😩

So far I've been testing myself on meaning and pronunciation at once but it's not ideal. I would prefer an Android app but Windows or browser-based is also fine. #LanguageLearning #LearningChinese #LearningMandarin #LanguageLovers

Every time I post something in #German on here, I end up feeling acutely aware of how confusing parts of it must be to learners. So here's your colloquial German lesson for today:

"Ich so/er so/sie so/etc." = casual way to indicate who's speaking, comparable to "I was like/he was like/she was like/etc."

"Wa?" = the word "was" (what) without the S; appended to the end of a sentence to turn it into a (frequently rhetorical) question. I'm sure leaving off the S is not mandatory but that's what I'm used to. (Did that originally come from Berlin dialect? I don't live in Berlin.) Comparable to adding "right?" or "huh?" in English when you want it to be an actual question, but for the rhetorical variant it only barely works with "huh" or maybe a deadpan "am I right" (which is often written as "amirite" on the internet).

Theory: this is why Germans will instantly latch on to the Canadian "eh" and use it the same way. But tbh I have no idea if Canadians say "eh" in that deadpan way where it's not actually a question. Somebody enlighten me please

Time for today's #OldEnglish #WordOfTheDay and a bit of #Storytelling / #Folklore to go with it.

Bróga [ ᛒᚱᚩᚷᚪ ]: 1. monster, trembling, fear; 2. monstrum, tremor, terror, horror

Bróga in Old English is a feeling; a deep terror, a trembling fear. An internal moster that brings a blind horror.

In more modern folklore, there is a monster called The Broga (or Brooga) -- it is said to be attracted to grief, especially the grief that accompanies the untimely loss of a persons one true love.

The creature, will follow the grieving victim and then take the form of their lost love. The Broga will use their time to make the victim feel fear and terror through waking and sleeping hours. The Broga will make the victim start to fear for their own life by making them believe the loss of their lover is their fault and the spectre is there for revenge.

The Broga will slowly take over its victim's life as they spiral into madness and psychosis; once the monster has attached itself to its victim, there is nothing that can be done. Only death will bring relief and the monster will move onto its next victim.

Having a little conversation with #ChatGPT about #OldEnglish. Here is the transcript:

me: can you give me an old English word that means sea fog

gpt: The Old English word for "sea fog" is "brume".

me: No it isn't brume, brume is not an old English word. please try again, what is the old English for sea fog

gpt: I apologize for the mistake in my previous answer. The Old English word for "sea fog" is actually "hǣð" or "hǣðstybb".

me: No, you are wrong "hǣð" means "heath" and "hǣðstybb" is not a real old English word. Please try again, what is the Old English for Sea Fog

gpt: I apologize for the confusion, and thank you for correcting me. The correct Old English word for sea fog is actually "sǣfog".

me: That is closer, but still not right "sǣ" does indeed mean see, but "fog" is not an old English word. The old English for sea fog is "sǣmist"

gpt: Thank you for the correction. You are right that "sǣmist" is the Old English word for sea fog. I apologize for any confusion caused by my earlier responses.
