⏳ We made it and escaped from the time machine! 😅 Troll #escaperoom in #Bucharest, #Romania, was well detailed.👌 #Travelling ☀️
🇷🇴
(I'm annoyed that I did not study at least some #Romanian phrases for the trip, and thus be more polite to the locals. 👉#Nexttime #learninglanguages ☺️)

Fast Company: Duolingo deletes all its TikTok videos after AI backlash—and then returns with a strange message. “Facing heavy backlash online after unveiling its new AI-first policy, Duolingo went dark over the weekend on the social media channels where it cultivated an enormous following with quirky posts. The company even took down all of its posts on TikTok and Instagram, where it has […]

Gawd this shouldn‘t be so funny but I burst out laughing when I saw the picture. This is certainly a creative way to say something that would get you flamed on 小红书💀

The question in the post: Why doesn't everyone like the male lead of The Prisoner of Beauty?

Answer in picture: Ugly

Well, xiaohongshu is definitely helping me improve my Chinese reading in unexpected ways 🫠

Did the mock test for HSK1 at Mandarin Bean and I got 20/20 for reading and 18/20 for listening which was surprising as I'm actually far better at listening lol. Am currently just reading HSK1 readers, but I think I should progress to HSK2 and stop being too comfortable at HSK1. (I know most of the vocab in HSK2 and 3, just that reading is taking me so long argh.)

Dear gawd I know Google Translate can be dire, but man this is the most dire I've seen yet lol!

#刘学义终于切大号了##源仲终于切大号了# 《念无双》剧情的发展节奏还是很快速的呀,这次刘学义出演的源仲终于切大号了,有狐族大祭司源仲终于可以上线了! 热剧观察的微博视频

Anyway, the translation (according to Deep Seek) is:
#Liu Xueyi Finally Switches to His Main Account# #Yuan Zhong Finally Switches to His Main Account# The plot development of A Moment But Forever is really fast-paced! This time, Liu Xueyi's character Yuan Zhong has finally switched to his main account, and the high priest of the fox tribe, Yuan Zhong, is finally making his appearance! [Hot Drama Watch's Weibo video]

"切大号" (qiē dà hào) literally means "switch to main account" - a gaming/metaphorical term referring to a character revealing their true/powerful identity. Yup, if you've seen the episode this came from you'd get it. LOL

There's a lot of slang on Weibo, and relying on Google Translate could literally get you the opposite meaning of what the poster is trying to say.

What's the first phrase you learned in your target language that wasn't in a textbook? Mine was working at my current job. 😆

What's a language learning 'rule' you broke that actually helped you improve faster? 🚀

Controversial opinion: Is it better to learn multiple languages at once or focus on just one? Share your experience 🗣️

#introduction
I'm a queer & neurodivergent elder millenial (she/they).

I love
#learninglanguages, reading, many different kinds of #music (currently completely obsessed with Ada Rook), exploring the #outdoors and occasionally playing #videogames

I have a dog, way too many hobbies and interests and zero tolerance for antisemitism
