Chinese Learning WeChat Group #2

I know that it has been brought up a few years ago, but it hasn't been updated since 2018. I want to be able to learn and practice my Chinese more! If you do want to join me, leave your WeChat below :) 

that's totally fine :)) to be able to practice some Chinese with other people is okay with me! are you still up for it? 

Hiiii, I know it has been a month already but I was wondering if you're still up for the WeChat group   :) 

 Lake:

I don't have wechat but I learned Chinese by watching dramas and reading webnovels, anyone else doing the same?

That' s definitely how I learned most of my Chinese :)

Me too! I did this before like two years ago but my chinese was still beginner at the stage so I coud only understand occasional words. I came back to cdramas after a year or so of binging webnovels where I picked up alot of vocabs. Not I found that I can understand prases and even sentences if the vocab is not too technical. Im still having problem with listening because they speak so fast and then to eat their word pronouciations but its good for training my ears.

I do think if you only use dramas without a good foundation tho that it wont help out much besides learning occasional words. 

That aside, I love webnovels! Before I used to try reading it raw but found that there were too many characters and made my head hurt. I found this methos which i use everyday:

I read on https://www.mtlnovel.com/ 

this website takes from raws and machines translates which will give you an idea of what the novel is saying. They have an option to read it along with the raws which is why i love it since for every paragraph i can double check the raws if i dont understand. This way I still learn by reading raws but don't overwhelm myself. I found that it's great help especially if you read it with chinese dictionary pop up (Pleco for phones, and ZhongZhong extention in chrome).

Now learning is fun everyday!

Is the wechat group still active? would love love love to join

Hi! if any chinese learners wants to add me on HelloTalk, add me @ https://hellotalk.com/u/bea.sc . Hellotalk is free and better than Whatsapp bcz its an app specifically for socialising with language learners and native and it has more translating features that whatsapp doesnt. We can create a group on there as well.  Let's learn the language together over our shared love of dramas/mangas/animes
