- In this sport we call language-learning, you only have to be *touching* the ball to be winning. #immersion #
- @BrentHodgson Well…I'd at least use bopomofo 😀 , b/c you do want some confirmation of the sounds. Pinyin is convenient but flawed. in reply to BrentHodgson #
- @BrentHodgson Pinyin would have you believe that 路(lu4｜ㄌㄨˋ) , 就 (jiu4｜ㄐ｜ㄡˋ) and 去(qu4｜ㄑㄩˋ) have the same "u" sound, when they don't: ㄨ ㄡ ㄩ. in reply to BrentHodgson #
- Look at it this way. For now, you suck so much at Japanese that doing ANYTHING is an improvement. So do anything. #
- We often spend so much time and energy mulling over what we should do, that we have none left to do what we *can* do #immersion #
- Go ahead and spend more time doing what you can do than worrying about what you should do. It'll be worth it 😛 #immersion #
- Never let a method get between you and the language… #
- Would you deny yourself food *because* you were hungry? Then why would you give up on something *because* you temporarily suck? #
- Being bad at something is just a manifestation of hunger…malnourishment. Practice is the cure. Eat practice. #
